Five stars who disappointed the fans: the fox who was not alone, the emperor who loved to hate the personal data of scorers this season has declined into a trend, directly affecting the performance of many teams, which also makes each home team full of fans somewhat disappointed, originally expecting their favorite stars in the new season to be able to do a big job, but found that their home team is in a quagmire, and too high expectations often bring endless troubles! (Leaving aside the two gods Irving and Simmons, more angry)

1. King Daron Fox

This season: 18.5 rebounds per game, 5.0 assists per game, 6.3 assists per game

Last season: 25.2 points per game, 3.5 rebounds per game, 7.2 assists per game

The Kings have maintained a winning percentage of about 50% this season, temporarily ranking seventh in the West, and their performance has also surprised fans and experts, the perfect performance of Harris Barnes, Xiaomi Cher and Halliburton has made the Kings team see the hope of rising again, but in stark contrast to the Overall Good Performance of the Kings is the core of the team, Daron Fox, whose performance has also surprised people.

Fox's decline this season is comprehensive, the three major statistics have a significant decline, of which the most obvious decline in scoring is the average decline of as much as 7 points per game, as the core of the team's offensive end, why did Fox's scoring data decline so seriously?

The main reason is the egalitarian coaching philosophy of head coach Walton, Harris Barnes, Haliburton's number of shots has increased significantly this season, of which Barnes averaged 3.5 more shots per game, plus Xiaomi Cher also had to consume a part of the ball, which compressed Fox's shooting opportunities and time to hold the ball. Another reason is that Fox's shooting rate has dropped to 39% compared to last season's 48%, and the three-point shooting rate is only 19%, so it is no wonder that the shooting feel is diving.

If the Foxes, who have lost their spirituality, can quickly regain their touch, then it is entirely possible that the Kings will break the spell of not making the playoffs for 16 consecutive years since the 05-06 season.

2. Terence-Mann

This season: 10 points per game, 5.1 rebounds per game, 3.1 assists per game

Last season: 7 points per game, 3.6 rebounds per game, 1.6 assists per game

Mann's playoff outburst last season not only reaped the support of a large number of fans but also won him a decent contract, as a low-ranking player he is also an inspirational model, and fans are full of expectations for his performance this season.

Especially in the absence of Leonard, it provides Mann with enough opportunities and space, and this season Mann's playing time has come to about 30 minutes, as the sixth man of the team, he has enough right to fire, and his average shot has increased by 3.5 times per game, but the efficiency value and shooting rate are declining, and he does not provide enough scoring support on the bench.

The Clippers' performance this season and Mann's own performance have really disappointed the fans, last season's playoff Mann's self-confidence has undoubtedly been greatly improved, the offseason is also soaked in the training ground to constantly polish their skills, originally hoped that this season can have a rapid change, but after all, the talent ceiling of the older rookie players is indeed limited, it is not easy to become a stable rotation player, the fans should not be too harsh!

3. Joel Embiid

This season: 21 rebounds per game, 8.7 assists per game, 4.3 assists per game

Last season: 28.5 points per game, 10.6 rebounds per game, 2.8 assists per game

Joel Embiid reached the highest point of his career last season, and the average score per game is also a new career high, which may be thanks to Coach Rivers, who completely activated Embiid on the offensive end, bringing him infinitely close to the league's first center and mvp.

Simmons' absence this season has made the 76ers lose the defensive barrier and organizational core of the outside, and the most affected may be Embiid, without the support of the outside defense Embiid will be more impacted and need more assist, while he also has to assume part of the organizational responsibility, which is why his assist stats will rise.

But the impact of more physical and energy consumption is a sharp decline in the shooting rate, and the shooting rate as a center forward is only 41%, which is completely unqualified, and this situation may continue in the long run.

4. Damian Lillard

This season: 19.5 points per game, 4.3 rebounds per game, 8.5 assists per game

Last season: 28.8 rebounds per game, 4.2 assists per game

"Cousin" has also lost the magic watch, Lillard's performance this season is purely catastrophic, completely unpredictable, in the absence of injury factors as a top scorer, in the playing time and the number of shots are basically the same as last season, the decline in scoring data and shooting rate is really incredible.

With only 35 percent shooting at two points and only 23 percent shooting on the core technology three-point line, such figures may not be above the NBA league average. As a top scorer, there are very few factors that can affect his scoring, even in the battle of life and death, he still has the ability to easily cut 50 points, why did he perform so well in the regular season, when the game was more relaxed?

The most important thing is Lillard's own reasons, is that his own will or mentality has been wavering, since the Olympic Games to the present, the team's great changes and the pressure of public opinion have made his mentality unable to completely calm down, in the constant game between staying behind and leaving, perhaps only when one side completely wins can change all this.

5. Mike Potter Jr

This season: 10.9 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game

Last season: 19 points per game, 7.3 rebounds per game, 1.1 assists per game

Are the Nuggets going to be wronged? The first impression of Porter's poor performance this season is that he began to "lie flat" after the big contract was in hand, which was also too thorough, and it was completely a sleep back to the pre-liberation period. This is the big explosion of our common contract year, is the current plot after signing the contract?

As a pure shooter, Porter's 54 percent shooting percentage last season was an extraordinary feat, and seth Curry, the league's most elite shooter, shot just 47 percent last season. It is indeed very difficult for Porter to maintain such a high shooting rate, but such a cliff-like decline is indeed difficult for the team and fans to accept, and for a team like the Nuggets, which has difficulty scoring, the team's most important scoring point average of 10 points per game is indeed a huge impact.

In the absence of Murray, it is up to Porter to see if he can still find the state and feel of last season, which directly determines the competitiveness and final ranking of the Nuggets this season.
