This year's NBA playoffs are off to a cold shower for our basketball superstars. Curry, the core of the Warriors we are familiar with, didn't even touch the door of the playoffs, and the Lakers' James and the Suns' Durant were even more miserable, without a win, and were directly pressed into the corner by the opponent and couldn't find the north.
Let's talk about the Lakers first, they're really shit lucky. Although they have a big name like James, this time against the Denver Nuggets, it was like a leak in the house and it rained overnight. In the first three games, even if the lead was sometimes more than 20 points, the end was still facing the loess with its back to the sky. Especially in the second game, they almost won it, but they were killed by Jamal Murray and sent them straight home. Every third quarter, the Lakers are like a different team, and the Nuggets unceremoniously take back the advantage little by little.
Look at the Suns again, to be honest, they played against the Timberwolves three times in the regular season, and won all three times, but in the playoffs, how could this script be reversed? In the first three games, the Suns were pressed to the ground by the Timberwolves and rubbed on the ground, with a total net minus of 54 points, and they almost lost about 20 points in each game.
Our Big Three Beal, Durant and Booker in this game, although the personal data is still passable, Beal scored 28 points in the game, Durant scored 25 points, and Booker also scored 23 points, but this data is a bit weak in the losing game. Especially Durant, the plus/minus value has come to -20, which is simply a "contribution" outstanding.
When it comes to Curry, the three-point king is even more indescribable this season, and the Warriors haven't even touched the door of the playoffs, which must be a big blow for him. It seems that the era when the "Janduku" group dominated the basketball court may really be about to change.
Overall, the two veterans, James and Durant, are in a pretty bad situation, losing all three of their playoffs, almost ending their season. No one in history has been able to come back from a desperate 3-0 situation, and it seems that they can only hope for another fight next year. For Curry, with no playoff days to go, it may be a good time to reflect on how to lead the team back to the top next season.
Looking at the struggles and helplessness of these former or current basketball superstars, I can't help but sigh: basketball is really a war without gunpowder. There must be no slack in every minute and every second, otherwise it will give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of. But that's the beauty of sports, isn't it? Every low can be a prelude to a rise, and every failure can make a better version of yourself. So, although it is a low point, we are still looking forward to their great performance in the coming year!
