If you don't die for ten years, you will make a comeback. This five-character poem is equally applicable to the NBA stage. In the star-studded alliance, there is never a shortage of legendary stories that grow in adversity.
Durant went from a ruptured Achilles tendon to a full 48 minutes on Kings Mountain, returning to the top and shaping a legend, Thompson tore a cruciate ligament and ruptured Achilles tendon, sharpened a sword for 3 years, swept the league after his return, and then set waves to help the Warriors win the championship. Injuries will never hinder the growth of stars, but will become more and more courageous, complete the reverse growth, and write legends. Therefore, whether it is an injury or an objective factor that leads to the deterioration of the state, as long as you strengthen your confidence and enrich your fighting spirit, you can still be reborn in this legendary stage and usher in the perfect opportunity and opportunity for Phoenix Nirvana.
今天，盘点季后赛东山再起的五大球星。
5th place: Scoring killer Murray
Murray, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, shooting 48% from the field, 42.5% from three-point range, and 85% from the free throw line.
Murray was drafted by the Nuggets with the 7th pick in the first round in 2016. As a young star, Murray has excellent scoring explosiveness, despite being a guard, but Murray's ability and talent in scoring are even better, especially in the team Jokic, an all-round center, Murray can show his talent in scoring, and can also help the team win the game, so that this scoring maniac continues to show the attributes of a dual-purpose guard, especially by the side of Mr. Jokic, it can release a sense of energy and competitiveness, so that he can become an all-round star with unlimited firepower output ability, and can show the ultimate scoring talent to help the team win every game。
In the 2023-24 season, after winning the championship with the team, Murray was plagued by injuries again, and the attributes of the glass man made Murray a core star who had a long-term hiatus, Murray's truce brought great pressure to the team, and also made the team's record fluctuate, and even increased the pressure on Jokic behind the court, which also became an important factor in the team's loss, but Murray is still extremely focused every time he returns, and can plug and play, maintain strong competitiveness, as long as he can avoid injuries, Murray will still be a very competitive young star.
After the playoffs open, Murray's big heart attributes, as well as last year's experience and growth, will make Murray once again the team's core competitiveness, and can continue to show super competitiveness under the escort of Jokic, and help the team continue to achieve transformation and sublimation, so that this young star will continue to display his ability and talent, and also let this star with extremely strong explosive output ability can help the team go further, and is even expected to lead the team to continue to attack and challenge the championship trophy.
Fourth place: Defensive titan Holiday
Holiday averaged 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 48% from the field, 42.9% from three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line.
Holiday was drafted by the 76ers with the 17th pick in the first round in 2009. As a defensive giant, in the 2022-23 season, the Bucks suffered the humiliation of the Black Eight, which made the champion guard a victim of the team's poor record, and also made Holiday an abandoned baby who traded Lillard for the team to take off again, and also made the former core competitiveness, the team's absolute starting star, unable to resist the changes in the hot and cold world, and also made him ruthlessly set off and snubbed by the team, Holiday can only be slaughtered by others, accepting the fate and fact of being infinitely abandoned.
In the 2023-24 season, Holiday played a good performance again in the Celtics, even if the data dropped significantly, but the excellent defensive performance, as well as the talent of the organization, and even rich experience and judgment, allowed Holiday to bring a better performance to the team at critical moments, so that the team can control the rhythm, control mistakes and play a strong team style, this defensive giant, but also make up for the team's shortcomings and regrets, become the ultimate core star, so that the team's overall strength, and the depth of the squad continue to improve.
As an experienced player, I believe that on the stage of the playoffs, Holiday will become better and better, and even become the key to the team, after all, the bonus of the championship will also be an important factor for the Celtics to recruit him, Holiday can handle the ball at critical moments, as well as the control of the game, can better improve the team's ability to handle the ball, so that the double tanhua can reduce mistakes, play a better performance for the team, bring more experience, and become an all-round star worthy of the task.
Third place: Wang Weishao, a triple-double who became a passerby
In the 2023-24 regular season, he averaged 11.1 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 45.4% from the field, 27.3% from three-point range, and 68.8% from the free throw line.
Wei Shao was selected by the Thunder with the fourth pick in the first round in 2008. In the 2021-22 season, Wei Shao joined the Lakers to form a Big Three team, due to the incompatible attributes of the ball with James, Wei Shao not only did not play the expected performance, but also lost one after another, but also made this superstar once reduced to an abandoned baby who was slaughtered, from pressing on the bench at critical moments, and then becoming a substitute player, Wei Shao was snubbed one after another, and even became the status quo of the team's scapegoat, which also made the previous triple-double king return to Los Angeles, not only did not enjoy the hero-like treatment, but became the culprit of the team's loss, and also made him a slaughter, so that he was completely disliked by the team and let Wei Shao fall from the altar, reduced to a lack of competitiveness, and a down-and-out teenager with ups and downs.
In the 2022 offseason, after regaining confidence in the face of the Suns in the playoffs last season, Wei Shao once again found the feeling and desire for the game, after renewing the Clippers, Wei Shao continued to fight for the team, although due to the addition of Harden, Wei Shao took the initiative to become a substitute, making huge sacrifices for the team to find a better lineup, Wei Shao's efforts also made the team's record continue to improve, but Wei Shao suffered an injury after an indefinite suspension, and was once reduced to a dispensable existence, but in the second half of the season, Leonard's injury made Wei Shao full of peak again, and started a new journey, facing the Sun's game, Wei Shao once again played a shocking game presentationand play at the level of a superstar and make him a key player for the team to win games and play bloodthirsty.
After the playoffs open, as an extremely important star on the bench, Wei Shao will also play a very key role in the team's victory or defeat, as a strong sense of energy, very explosive star, Wei Shao still has strong energy and combat power, once the team gives the opportunity, Wei Shao will still bring huge surprises to the team, after all, as a former superstar, Wei Shao has the temperament of a leader, this star who was born with a big scene, will continue to be expected to play a bloodthirsty performance, become a superstar that cannot be ignored.
2nd Place: Bill the Scoring Machine
Beal, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 17.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 50.8% from the field, 41.5% from three-point range, and 81.1% from the free throw line.
Beal was drafted by the Wizards with the 3rd pick in the first round in 2012. In the 2020-21 season, Beal once averaged 30+ per game's scoring feast, despite the defeat to Curry, but Beal's extreme scoring ability still makes him the absolute super leader of the Wizards, even in the presence of triple-double Wang Weishao, Bill will be the team's unshakable superstar, explosive output ability, and explosive power at critical moments, all make Bill very competitive on the court, but due to frequent injuries, it once lost its peak state, and also made Bill completely lose the aura and strength of the star after winning a big contract, becoming a dispensable, long-term wall-to-wall watch of the down-and-out teenager。
In the 2023-24 season, Beal was traded by the team to join forces with Durant, Booker formed the Big Three team, due to frequent injuries, so that Bill's successive truces, became an important factor in the fluctuation of the team's record, the games played, the fluctuation of the state, and the constraints of the Big Three, so that Bill did not play the expected performance, but as the game entered the stage near the end, the team's record was not ideal, many games, Bill became the team's savior, saved the team from the dire situation, became a superhero, in the face of the King's game, Bill cut 7 points in a row, and at the critical moment for Fox consecutive blocks and steals, but also let Bill play extremely focused, full of energy, let him play the style of a star again, but also showed absolute physical talent and talent.
After the playoffs open, I believe that Beal can continue the deterrence in the second half of the season, making it a non-negligible competitiveness for the team, especially in the early stages of the fourth quarter, Beal chose to lead the team with a single core most of the time, which will be a great opportunity for Beal's outbreak, and it will also be expected that Beal can switch back to the performance of the Wizards, so that the former scoring maniac can play confident and competitive again, so that he can continue to transform and grow, so that Beal can help the team get out of the trough and become the most important key factor on the team's road to winning the championship, after all, Beal's ability to break through will be the most outstanding among the Big Three, Durant's age, Booker lacks the talent of Beal, so Beal is the team's key moment, the most relied on city hero, and will also be the only white moonlight whether the team can win the championship.
1st place: Butler, the strongest wage earner
Butler averaged 20.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 49.7% from the field, 41.4% from three-point range, and 85.9% from the free throw line.
Butler was drafted by the Bulls with the 30th pick in the first round in 2011. In the 2019-20 season, Butler traded to the Heat, in this team that has fallen down, Butler once again led the team to play a very bloodthirsty performance, and with a dark horse attitude, broke into the stage of the Finals.
In the 2023-24 season, Butler will continue to play healthily in the regular season, and his performance will also make Butler still a non-negligible competitiveness in the playoffs.
Butler's ability to transform into a playoff game will bring great lethality to all teams, and also make these teams that played championship-level in the regular season still helpless in the face of tough guy Butler, whether the same story will be staged again, is unknown, but Butler's magic will still come as promised, and this dark horse team will continue to be full of legendary halo and color, becoming the dark horse team in the East and even in the league, which cannot be underestimated, and even continues to dominate the league.
