The first team was eliminated in an embarrassing 1-4, and the playoffs disbanded! Sliding from the championship, the boss is about to leave

Basketball

This season's playoffs are coming to an end, and the suspense of the championship is getting closer and closer. The Thunder took the lead in winning the Western Conference Championship. The Pacers and the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals series have exposed many shortcomings. The Pacers' core Halliburton is in a state of ups and downs. The Knicks' starting five tigers have seriously overdrawn physically. The coach Thibodeau increased to 8-10 people in the Eastern Conference Finals, which means to make up for the failure, but the consumption of the entire season has led to a decrease in the starting efficiency, especially Anunobi and Bridges, who are indeed unable to run. Therefore, according to the prediction of the US media "BR", the probability of the Thunder winning the championship is 94.5%. Alexander is expected to achieve a grand slam of scoring + first team + MVP + Western Conference Finals MVP + Finals MVP + Grand Championship this season. Their dynasty is coming.

The giant teams that have been eliminated are planning to strengthen this summer. The Rockets are starting to introduce big-name stars, and the Lakers are also preparing to move the Big Three combination. Reeves and Doncic do not match, and Doncic lacks a pick-and-roll blue-collar insider that is launched by offense. Including the Spurs and the Timberwolves, they also set their sights on Durant. There are also some teams facing reconstruction, and the first to be the champion of last season was the Celtics. With Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured, the team retained this lineup framework for more than $500 million. The team will have to make subtractions during the offseason. Holiday and Possian may become victims, but the Celtics will definitely not give up easily with the combination of the three giants of Twin Tanhua + White. But one team was directly disbanded in the playoffs and became the first team to disband.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Pacers and the Bucks' series is the closest group of matches in the first round of the league. The probability of advancing is 50%. However, after 5 games, the Bucks were eliminated 1-4, especially in the life-and-death battle of G5. The five Bucks started and played more than 44 minutes, and Antetokounmpo scored 30 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists. However, they encountered a 20-point reversal and were defeated by Halliburton! After Antetokounmpo led the team to win the championship in 2021, the Bucks fell straight, defeated the Bulls 4-1 in the first round in 222, and lost to the Celtics in the second round; in the summer of 23, the Heat completed the Black Eight Miracle in the first round and was eliminated 1-4; and in the past two seasons, they have been blocked by the Pacers, and have won nothing in four years.

What's even more helpless is that Lillard suffered from a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf at the end of the season. Although he recovered quickly, he only played 3 games in the playoffs, averaging 7 points and 4.7 assists per game, and suffered a torn Achilles tendon! Although he has successfully undergone Achilles tendon repair surgery, according to US media, it will be difficult for Lillard to return healthy next season, which will become the last straw that broke Antetokounmpo’s back! Antetokounmpo is the only two players in NBA history who have won MVP + DPOY + 7 times in their careers, and the other is Jordan! He was selected for the first time for seven consecutive years, and has been in the top four in the MVP voting league for seven consecutive years. He averaged at least 30+10+5 per game for two consecutive years and had a shooting percentage of 60%. It is the only in history! Antetokounmpo is so strong, but he can't see any hope in the Bucks. The Bucks are regressing every year.

In the words of a salary expert, the Bucks have reached the stage where they have to trade Antetokounmpo, because in the next 6 years, the first round pick in 25 years belongs to the Nets, the first round swap rights in 26 years belong to the Pelicans, the first round pick in 27 years belongs to the Pelicans or the Hawks, the first round swap rights in 28 and 30 years belong to the Trail Blazers, and the first round pick in 29 years belongs to the Wizards or the Trail Blazers. They have no reinforcement chips, they can only send Antetokounmpo away to rebuild their assets. Putting aside Antetokounmpo, Lillard's contract with $58.55 million next season is probably going to be a watch. Kuzma's contract of 21.81 million has become a big burden. In addition, the contract of Big Lopez expires, and it is difficult for the Bucks to stay. Portis and Connaughton were also put on the shelves early. In addition to Lillard, the Bucks are really going to be completely disbanded. The decline of the Bucks has laid the groundwork since they sent Holiday away for Lillard. This season, bid farewell to Middleton and exchanged for Kuzma, which made the team a mess, and it was all up to Antetokounmpo to hold on. According to column reporter Pixar, several sources in the league revealed that Antetokounmpo will officially submit a trading application to the Bucks during the offseason. Antetokounmpo's favorite next home is one thing, and it is another thing for a team that can really provide a large amount of chips to the Bucks. For example, the analysis of "Open-Air Stands" is that the Spurs are likely to send Sohan + Johnson + Barnes + 5 first-round picks to pursue Antetokounmpo. If the Bucks really get a quotation of this level, they will definitely not be rejected! From the Bucks' perspective, let Lillard lead a young lineup in the next two years and rebuild with the team with $120 million for two years.

Antes Brother's departure is a foregone conclusion. The Bucks' mess in the next two years. Even if Antes Brother wants to stay in the team, he can't lead him. It's just a waste of his career. What's more, he has already brought the Bucks a championship, and there are no regrets in his career. But for the Bucks, it is difficult to attract stars to join in a small club like them. It took Antetokounmpo for 12 years from training to becoming a talent, and it may be difficult to meet an Antetokounmpo again next. As for Lillard, it’s tasteless. If you want to send it away, you need to pay a lot of chips. There is no need to do it, so you can rest assured to retire.
