The three NBA super giants are collectively disappointed, and their true colors are revealed in the playoffs! The suspense of the season finals is not much
The NBA divisional semi-finals are in full swing this season, and the four semi-finals are unexpected. The Cavaliers and Celtics, the top two in the East, have fallen continuously at home. The Cavaliers are the first to grab a game from the Pacers at home, but there is still no way out. In the West, the Nuggets, who fought hard against the Clippers in the first round, led the Thunder 2-1 with a big score. Although the Warriors took a victory from the Timberwolves at home, Curry's hamstring injury + Butler's objective performance is difficult to explode. The Warriors' next journey is in danger. Since the start of the playoffs this season, many stars' performances have been very disappointing. A typical example is Harden, who was invisible in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, scored 7 points in the tiebreak battle, and did not even dare to shoot. Murray, a Clippers' reporter, sighed that Harden didn't even have the courage to face the media after the game.
Harden is not the only one who is in the playoffs! For some popular teams to win the championship, the divisional semi-finals have just begun, but when the second round of bayonets were fighting, the top five super giants in the league that had been locked in for a long time this season have been revealed! In ESPN's words, when the Nuggets and Thunder finished the first three games of the series, it was discovered that Jerry, Murray and Gordon were the keys to the team's upper limit. Start with Alexander, the Thunder Core. In the regular season, Alexander averaged 32.7 points, 5 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, leading the team to a proud record of 68 wins, and locked in the MVP of this season ahead of schedule. In the playoffs, he averaged 28 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists. The data looked pretty good, but his shooting percentage was only 43% + 26%.
Especially in the Nuggets series, Alexander, who had a whistle to protect his body at home, averaged 33.5 points + 10 free throws per game, and had a protective cover within 2 meters. However, at the Nuggets' home court, Alexander made 7 of 22 shots, only scored 18 points, and he played 8 consecutive games in the last minute of the final quarter. He didn't dare to take action in overtime, and passed the ball to Harten, Homgren, Jewe and others six times in a row! First of all, Alexander did not have the ability to shoot long shots. Secondly, his foul was completely different from Butler's way to throw himself out. So when Alexander couldn't get the free throw, he rushed to the basket with his thin body, and he was hit by a pincer. There was no way! Alexander is very strong in the matchup because his opponent always has loopholes, but his ability to fight against the wind is far inferior to the second leader Jiewei.
Alexander was a tough guy, and as his MVP competitor, Jokic also disappointed. Perhaps it was the hand-to-hand battle with Zubac in the first round, which consumed too much physical fitness. In the series against the Thunder, G1 could score 42 points, 22 rebounds and 6 assists in one game, but starting from G2, there were continuous mistakes, soft and weak confrontations, and the increasing range of actions. G2 made 4 offensive fouls in a single quarter, G3 made 8 of 25 shots in one game, scored 20 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, plus 8 turnovers. Including the tiebreak battle with the Clippers, Jokic averaged 6.5 mistakes per game in the past four games. He gradually became Embiid, becoming more like to hold the ball, not go to the inside, and even Alexander couldn't play. In Jokic's own words, he was the worst performer on the field, but fortunately he won.
Alexander's bad temper can be attributed to the absence of free throws away, or based on the tightening of the league's harshness, Alexander has obvious shortcomings in shooting and confrontation. Jokic's sluggishness can be understood as a situation where his physical fitness has dropped sharply, and he really needs the help of his teammates. Of course, these two people can actually be significantly improved and improved in a short period of time, but it is difficult for this super giant to change next! Tatum played the Magic in the first round of the playoffs, averaging 31.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. He played against the Knicks in the second round. He averaged 18 points, 15 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in the first two games. Especially in the fourth quarter of the two semi-finals, Tatum made a total of 12 shots and scored only 6 points! At the critical moment of the playoffs, Tatum's shooting percentage was 20%+0% in both events!
The Celtics won the championship last season, but the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals and the MVP of the Finals were both given to the second-in-commander Jaylen Brown. Tatum was very unwilling to give up, but in terms of stability and efficiency, they were not as good as Jaylen Brown. This does not mean that Jaylen Brown is very good. The overall competitiveness of the Celtics has declined significantly this year. The double-Tanhua has not taken the lead. Tatum's skill is not delicate enough. He hesitated at critical moments. Jaylen Brown dared not take action at critical moments. It was precisely because of the three-point shooting, that the Celtics were reversed by the Knicks in two consecutive games with 20-point reversals and is close to being eliminated. In the words of Boston team reporters, the team will be broken up this summer and reorganized. Only the Double Tanhua is not a product. But if you need to walk on the Double Tanhua, you are not a qualified boss.
From Alexander to Jokic, and then to Tatum, the regular season was not under pressure for them, and the playoffs were revealed. In fact, what determines the upper limit of a team's playoffs is precisely the quality of the stars. In comparison, Edwards, the most stable and dominant leader in the West this year, is probably Edwards, and the Warriors may not be able to wait for Curry's return. In the East, even if the Knicks eliminated the Celtics, they were at the end of their strength and their starting physical fitness was overdrawn. Although the Cavaliers were temporarily behind in a big score, they were most likely to reach the finals. We look forward to the toughest head-on confrontation between Edwards and the MG King on the finals stage.
