1. The last dance of Janduku? The U.S. men's basketball Olympic roster has been confirmed with 11 people! Embiid is on the list!
According to Woj and Shams of the Athletic, the U.S. men's basketball team is finalizing the roster for the Paris Olympics. Eleven members of the 12-man roster have reportedly been confirmed, including James, Durant, Curry, Embiid, Bushy Eyebrows, Edwards, Bam Adebayo, Haliburton, Tatum, Booker, and Holiday Previously, Grant Hill, the general manager of the U.S. men's basketball team, said that before the start of the training camp in July, there is a high probability that a vacant spot will be reserved.
According to Shams, Leonard is the top candidate for the last spot, along with Brunson, George, Banchero and "Big Joe" Bridges.

(1) Just ask Zhan Duku how these three people are on the same team, how do others play?1 Zhan 2 Ku, 3 Du 4 eyebrows, 5 emperors, this lineup is basically invincible, right? And it is estimated that this is the last time Zhan Duku will participate in the Olympic Games, and watch and cherish it! Stephen Curry, the all-time three-point king, the greatest three-point shooter in the history of the NBA and even the world basketball world, his ball-holding midfield three-point shot subverts the traditional shooting cognition! The blocking and pick-and-roll offense derived from his terrifying range can be called the most threatening offensive initiation method in the small ball era, "Ku has gravity" Created a strategic depth that covered the entire half of teammates 4-on-3, which was unprecedented and could not be fully targeted. Kevin Durant, the ceiling-level misplaced singles machine in NBA history, 211 cm, 108 kg, offensive and defensive integration, with a full set of offensive skills without dead ends, not only can play the 1-5 position without difference, but also compatible with any offensive system, Durant is a big killer in the international arena: in the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, he averaged 22.8 points per game to set a new record for the average points per game of the American men's basketball team, easily led the team to win the gold and won the MVP of the event; in the 2012 London Olympics, he averaged 19.5 points per game to set a historical record for the individual average points per game in the history of the United States Men's Basketball Olympics; in the men's basketball final of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Durant scored 30 points to lead the team to win the gold; and in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, he became the first Olympic flag bearer in the history of the U.S. men's basketball team, and scored 29 points in the men's basketball final to lead the team to win gold - a total of 89 points in three Olympic gold medal games, scoring like drinking water, and there is no doubt that the United States men's national basketball team is the actual leader of the U.S. men's basketball team after Kobe Bryant and Melon. LeBron James, a true hexagonal warrior, is still the face of the NBA even after he is 39 years old, he averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season, and his three-point shooting rate was 41.0% A career high.
(2) With Embiid joining, it always feels weird...... This Embiid has three surnames, first Cameroon and France, and then joined the U.S. men's basketball team......
(3) All of them are good offensive players, there are few sappers, and the risk of this lineup overturning is not small, and if a tough guy like Butler is not there, will the American men's basketball team lack ruthless people? Moreover, the European team has a strong style of play, and although the American men's basketball team has a luxurious lineup, it is a little too old......
(4) It feels like I have to bring a guard, Lillard or Irving...... Or is it necessary to replace Holiday with Owen? After all, Owen is also a big killer in the international arena, Owen, an inexplicable stand-up single!
Second, the key to victory?Dream Chaser believes that Wei Shao is the X factor, and Tyronn Lue should start Wei Shao and let him defend against Owen!
Dream Chaser recently talked about his thoughts on the first round of the playoffs, the series between the Clippers and the Mavericks. Dream believes that the X-factor of the Clippers and Mavericks in this series is Wei Shao, because Wei Shao can defend Irving, and Xiaoka is responsible for defending Doncic. The Clippers have struggled in the past period of time because Westbrook has missed most of the games during that time.
opinion
One thing to say, Green actually has a high ball quotient, but his personality is a bit bad. To be honest, in terms of performance and efficiency at the end of the season, it really should be Wei Shao's start, Harden doesn't know if it's bad or injured, from March to now, it's extremely stretched, and Wei Shao is far better than Harden on the defensive end. And Irving is really too difficult to defend, the offense is smooth, the speed is fast, Wei Shao can keep up with Irving! But I personally think it is more appropriate to let Harden start, Wei Shao can increase playing time, and Wei Shao's defense is no problem, but the starting offense may have problems. Also, is George's defense, whether it is defensive habits, height, or speed, worse than Wei Shao? Irving is the first wave of rotation, and when Doncic rotates, Irving is dominant, and at that time it is just the transition section, and the counterpoint of the substitute Wei Shao? At that time, Wei Shao's main defense was fine, and there was no need to go to the playoffs to adjust the starters. Don't forget, Mann is also a defensive stalwart and fast, and can also be responsible for defending Irving.
3. The Lakers played against the Pelicans in the play-offs, and the thick eyebrows were doubtful due to back spasms, and James had a high probability of playing!
In the NBA play-offs, the Lakers challenged the Pelicans away. The Lakers updated the team's injury status, thick eyebrows are doubtful for this game due to back spasms, and James is likely to play due to peroneal tendonitis in his left ankle. In addition, Schiffino has undergone minimally invasive discectomy surgery for the lumbar spine, Vanderbilt will be sidelined for a sprained right midfoot and Wood will be sidelined for left knee surgery.
opinion
The Lakers' style of play restrained the Thunder, the Nuggets' style of play restrained the Lakers, and some people think that if the Pelicans don't play with thick eyebrows, they simply let James rest together. In the next game, the Lakers can have a 6-7 win rate against the Thunder series, but they may only have about 3 percent against the Nuggets. If you win, you have a lot of chances to enter the second round, but to be honest, now is not the time to pick an opponent at all, although Zhan Mei has a great advantage in a one-game game, but whether it is the king or the warrior, the strength is very strong, what if it explodes? So let's fight the Pelicans, it's best if we can win. Calm down, want to go further, you can't escape from the Nuggets, rather than playing to the back and running out of physical strength, it's better to fight in the first round, and you can rest early if you lose, in case you win by luck, then there is hope to enter the West Finals or even the finals. So let's go all out, fate will take the Lakers wherever they want, and the teams in the play-offs are not qualified to pick opponents!
Fourth, Kerr said that Payton Jr. missed the play-offs against the Kings, and even if he made it to the next round of the play-offs, he might still not be able to play!
Warriors coach Kerr said in an interview with the media that Payton Jr. may not play in the play-in game against the Kings, and even if the Warriors make it to the next round of the play-in tournament, Payton Jr. may still not play. It is worth mentioning that Payton Jr. previously missed the last three regular season games due to a calf injury.
opinion
Peyton Jr. ...... Crispy and jumpy...... It's really easy to use, but every time you use him at a critical moment, it's really good and just like that, it's too brittle...... Especially since going to the Portland Trail Blazers, I've either been recuperating from an injury or on the way to injury...... And if the Warriors want to win two games in a row, Curry and Klay must reduce turnovers, increase breakthroughs, and don't keep throwing three points!
Fifth, although Brother Alphabet is recovering from his injury, he is still uncertain if he will be able to play in G1!
According to Shams of the Athletic who talked about his injury, he said that he is currently recovering every day, but the team has doubts that he will be able to play in G1 against the Pacers, and although he is recovering very well, he is still unsure if he will be able to play in G1 against the Pacers. It is worth mentioning that Brother Alphabet suffered a strain of the soleus muscle in his left calf and missed the last three regular season games.
opinion
Last year, the letter didn't play because I really didn't look down on the Heat, but I didn't expect to be turned over by the Heat, and the letter was hurt again at the critical moment this year...... If Brother Alphabet doesn't play, he won't be able to make the Bucks want a round of play, and Haliburton will be very energetic in playing Lillard! If the Bucks are eliminated, Rivers will be able to use this reason to continue his life! But there is one thing to say, I feel that the Bucks still have no problem playing the Pacers, the Pacers are too weak in offense and defense, and the offense is not stable. The intensity of the playoffs may not match the Pacers, although the Bucks also pull their hips, but they are still much stronger than the Pacers, and it feels like the Bucks can almost advance within 6 games!
6. Will the Lakers and Pelicans deliberately lose in order to avoid the Nuggets? Dream Chasing: People who have this idea are almost crazy!
Dream talked about the Lakers' play-in match with the Pelicans on his podcast. Dream said there was a lot of discussion about whether they would deliberately lose in order to avoid the Denver Nuggets, but he didn't think anyone would deliberately lose a game in order to avoid Denver and then put themselves on the brink of elimination, and anyone who thought about it was almost crazy!
opinion
In a life-or-death game, no team dares to release water casually, thinking that they will definitely be able to win against each other! Many people say that the Lakers should avoid the Nuggets to play, but I don't think so, I feel that the Lakers should play with the Nuggets, the play-offs are a winner, the chance is too great, and the Nuggets will have to meet sooner or later, it is better to meet late than early, continue to play if you win, go home to fish if you lose, you can't win the championship anyway, it makes no sense to go anywhere in the playoffs, you have to meet the Nuggets sooner or later in the playoffs, I personally think that you just don't coward, that is, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road, loses, it's better to go home early to rest, and you don't have to torture people. If you pick an opponent in the first round, it's a joke to hope to win the championship!
7. Fox Sports celebrity said that he learned from people familiar with the matter that Xiaoka's knee was very swollen!
Fox Sports celebrity Chris Broussard revealed Leonard's injury on a show. It is worth mentioning that the last time he played was against the Hornets on April 1, after which he suffered an inflammation of his right knee and missed the last eight games of the regular season.
opinion
As soon as the playoffs arrive, the robot truck will be returned to the factory for warranty...... Every time Xiaoka is injured, it is a mystery, giving people a feeling that the injury is not serious and can return at any time. But when watching Xiaoka watch the game from the sidelines, his expression was very relaxed, and he also participated in training. If it's so severe, it's impossible to still train. I hope Xiaoka can recover as soon as possible, and I want to watch the wonderful matchup between the overall Clippers and the Mavericks!
8. Love and hate!Dream chasers hate play-offs, but it's a fun and great invention!
Dream talked about the play-offs on his podcast, and Dream said that he hated the play-offs, but the play-offs are really a fun and great thing, and when you look forward to what basketball stories are going to happen in the play-offs, it becomes a fun and great thing. Dream also mentions James' remark that "the man who invented the play-offs should be fired." But the play-offs are really crazy, and since the NBA added the play-in rules, it has taken the heat of the last month of the NBA, or even half a season, to a new level, a completely different level. So, even if you hate the play-offs so much, even if your team hates being the No. 10 seed. But for a basketball player, for a basketball fan, the play-off madness is so mesmerizing that you should go and enjoy it. ”
opinion
The Warriors love and hate the play-offs! In the 21 playoffs, the Lakers narrowly won by 3 points! Dream chased 2 points on 0-of-5 shooting! Then they lost to the Grizzlies! The Warriors became the first division in history to miss the playoffs! The Warriors have really eaten the dividends of the playoffs this season! This year, the tenth in the West, retains the suspense of entering the playoffs, but the Lakers' hard power has been in the top eight in recent years, and there are no playoff teams with or without play-offs!
9. Russell sent 400+ assists in a single season and hit 200+ three-pointers + a shooting rate of not less than 40%, the 4th person in history!
According to statistics, Lakers player Russell played in 76 games for the team this season, averaging 18 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting 45.6% from the field and 41.5% from three-point range. In doing so, Russell became the fourth player in NBA history to hit at least 200 three-pointers and shoot at least 40 percent from the field and dished out at least 400 assists in a single season. The previous three players were Curry, Lillard and Brunson.
opinion
I hope that Shuila can maintain the average level in the playoffs! To be honest, Shuila is not usually not good, it is the lack of heat in the playoffs! The playoffs are the stage of stars, and many players who are good in the regular season go to the playoffs to the intensity, and the shortcomings are infinitely magnified, which is not to fight a tough battle, that is, ordinary players. Shuila's contract is worth a lot, if it can stabilize to the playoffs, you can jump out of the contract and sign a big order next year!
10. Jalen Green scored a total of 4443 points in the first three years of his career, ranking fourth in Rockets history!
Jalen Green has played 82 games this season, averaging 31.7 minutes per game, contributing 19.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting 42.3%, 33.2% and 80.4% from three. According to statistics, Jalen Green scored 4,443 points in the first three years of the Rockets, ranking fourth in team history. In Rockets history, the player has scored first in the first three years of his career with Elvin Hayes (6,931 points), Olajuwon (5,044 points) second, Ralph Sampson (5,020 points) third, and Francis (4,213 points) in fifth place.
opinion
Personally, I prefer to insist on developing Green, firstly, because he is still young and has not been systematically trained in college, and his technique and shooting need to be corrected. The last coach delayed him by two years. The second reason is that there is really no one to change now, which one is better in the market now? A large number of stars are old, and the middle ones will not be released, and there are not many young ones who are better than him. And now Whitmore can't compare to Green, Green's ability to defend and read and share the ball is much higher, but Whitmore is indeed strong and three-pointed, but it may not be as good as Green to face similar defense! Whitmore obviously destroys the offensive system as soon as he comes up, he has a personal scoring ability, but there is a problem with the choice of shots, he doesn't pass the ball, and I feel like I can try it as a sixth man like Clarkson!!
