Four years ago, Durant, Irving, and Harden teamed up for the championship with the Nets, but ultimately failed. In the face of reality, in the face of new changes that have not been seen in the league for many years, Harden and Irving have applied to leave the team, and KD finally chose to leave, and the most luxurious Big Three in NBA history "walked gently, just as they came softly, gently beckoned to be the clouds of the western sky". In the past 4 years, KD Owen Harden has been running around, each for his own master, tasting the warmth and coldness of the world, but the situation and prospects are very different!

The Suns went out 0-4 in shame, and KD was questioned

KD was the last to leave the Nets, and also chose the fastest way to win the championship, and continued to huddle together to keep warm in the Phoenix Suns! KD Suns 1.0 season, joined hands with Booker Paul to enter the playoffs, the first round of gentlemen swept the Clippers, and the second round lost 2-4 to the Nuggets who later won the championship when Paul was injured, which is not a shame! Perhaps it is precisely because of this that KD has intensified his bet on the idea of the Big Three to win the championship! Beal formed a luxury triumvirate, and the offensive firepower was no worse than that of the Nets triumvirate, but they were beaten more viciously! In the first round, facing the Timberwolves, which ranked first in the league's defensive efficiency, the Suns had no way to fight back, and they were out of the game 0-4 in shame, and the Suns were also the only team to be swept in this year's playoffs.

According to statistics, this is the second time in KD's career that he has been swept in the first round of the playoffs, and the first time is the Nets in 2002, when he led the team to be swept by the Green Army in the first round! The same huddle, the same sweep, KD was questioned! After the first round of 4 games, KD played an average of 42 minutes per game, cutting 26.8 points + 6.5 rebounds + 3.3 assists + 1.5 blocks + 1.3 three-pointers, with three shooting rates of 55.2%, 41.7% and 82.4% respectively, and the true shooting rate reached 65.3%. KD is still the Grim Reaper who focuses on basketball offense and defense, but he can't make opponents fear on his own! The choice is wrong, the effort is in vain, and no one knows when KD will break the Green formula.

4-2 below the gram, Owen Nirvana is reborn

When Irving decided to leave the Nets, many people thought that he would reunite with Lao Zhan, but he finally chose to join the Mavericks to assist Doncic! However, in the 1.0 season of Irving's Mavericks, the team was plagued by injuries and run-ins and failed to make the playoffs! Even so, the Mavericks still gave Irving a three-year, $126 million contract extension! The Mavericks treated Irving well, and Irving did not disappoint the Mavericks, saving the Mavericks' season with God's performance again and again, and teaming up with Doncic to help the Mavericks go straight to the playoffs!

In this process, Doncic plays the core of the ball, ensuring the team's lower limit, while Irving is reborn, like an old artist on the court, playing the key to the team, raising the team's ceiling! After 6 games in the series, Irving averaged 26.5 points + 5.7 rebounds + 4.7 assists + 1.8 steals + 3.7 three-pointers per game, with three shooting rates of 51.4%, 44.9% and 85.2% respectively, and a true shooting rate of 64.7%. There is a statistic that shows that Owen has a 13-0 record in the game with match points, this is Owen, born Mr. Big Scene! More importantly, Owen's investment in the defensive end and the fighting spirit of the game are impressive.

Leaving KD, Irving gained fame and fortune, and Harden was in a dilemma

In the world of the NBA, there is no one who can't live without anyone, only who doesn't know how to cherish anyone. KD, Irving, and Harden got together and missed the championship, and after they separated, they all held back their energy to prove themselves. At least from the current situation, after leaving KD, Irving has proven himself, he is leading the Mavericks to the championship with Doncic, fame and fortune, and KD? He has chosen a shortcut to the championship, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent, there are 2 years and 103 million US dollars left on the contract, no matter how hard it is, he will have to go through it on his knees, and applying for a trade again will only double the anger of the public!

The hardest thing is Harden! After leaving KD, Harden teamed up with the Great and stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals; Harden chose to be the captain of the Clippers again, but ended up in the first round! According to statistics, this is the first time Harden has stopped in the first round of the playoffs since 2016, and the record of reaching the division semifinals for seven consecutive years is over! Harden is still a good helmsman, but it is undeniable that Harden's age and physical fitness determine that it is difficult for him to continue to produce stably and efficiently in the long playoffs! At the end of the season, Harden became a complete free agent, he can decide whether he wants to stay or stay, but he is in a dilemma - whether to stay or leave, it seems that it is difficult for him to get a desired pension contract, and even more difficult, Harden and KD Irving have a championship in hand, leaving less and less time and opportunities for Harden to complete the championship, hoping that Harden can make the right decision. Fans, what do you think about this?
