This season is the turning point of NBA. Since the regular season, Thunder and Timberwolves in the west and Magic in the east have risen rapidly, and the entire regular season has maintained a strong competitiveness. Alexander+Edwards+Bangalore have grown into a first-line superstar in the league. In the playoffs, Curry and his warriors were blocked out of the gate. The three giants of Durant+Booker+Bill were swept out by the Timberwolves, and the Lakers were swept out by the gentlemen. But the biggest difference between the Suns and the Lakers was that the Lakers did their best, and the Suns were distracted. Even the Clippers have reached the edge of the cliff, because Kaka is not trustworthy in the playoffs, not his ability, but his physical condition and professional attitude. In contrast, in the eastern part, at first glance, the gap between the second place Knicks and the eighth place Heat was only four wins in the regular season. In the playoffs, it directly turned into chaos.
Unsurprisingly, the 76ers' Enbid was out of the first round. His inefficient play+the performance of his teammates at critical moments, and the 76ers have no upper limit. Unexpectedly, the Bucks, as the favorite to win the championship, are out of the first round again! Last season, the Bucks still had 58 wins and 24 losses in the regular season, ranking first in the East. However, in the playoffs, the Heat completed the Black Eight miracle, humiliating them out! This season, the Bucks have only 49 wins and 33 losses in the regular season. In the western region, they can only play in the play offs, but some players are proud of it! In addition, Brother Alphabet can't keep healthy. Like Carmelo Carragher, he was injured in the playoffs and played the role of a spectator. As well as the coach of Old Rivers, he is lowering the team's lower limit. But these two points are not enough! With an average of 31 points per game, the NBA also has super gangsters! Saying goodbye to the championship, the league is really holding the wrong person.
Let's start with a set of data comparison. After Lillard came to the Bucks this season, the Bucks once became the most popular champion in the league. In the regular season, Lillard averaged 24.3 points and 7.0 assists per game, hit 42.4%+35.4% in both events, and hit 51% effectively, ranking 261st in the league. In the playoffs, Lillard averaged 31 points per game (the third in the league, second only to Brenson and Enbid) and 5 assists, hitting 42%+41.7% in both events and 54.3% in the effective hit rate. However, Lillard's net efficiency in the 100 rounds of the playoffs was - 13.8. The league was included in the list of effective statistics, and Lillard ranked tenth from the bottom! First of all, we can be sure that Lillard is similar to Doncic and Enbid. They all enjoy the absolute bonus of the ball right. If they shoot more than 20 times in a game, plus 10 free throws, if they can't pass 30 points, the efficiency will not play in the NBA!
Secondly, did Lillard really come to help Brother Alphabet win the championship? When the Bucks were out of the first round, Lillard also complained: I know the criticism comes from people's high expectations of the team. Looking back at the performance of this season, the average game is 25+7, almost 50 wins, but people still have a lot to say. To put it bluntly, before Lillard came, the Bucks had won more than 50 games in four of the previous five seasons. Is 50 games still a report card? Secondly, ESPN lists Lillard's playoff experience: he has entered the playoffs nine times in his career, six of which were out of the first round, two of which were stopped in the semi-finals of the division, only one of which was in the west match and was swept out by the Warriors! I haven't even touched the floor of the finals in my career! To borrow the words of the American media, is Lillard worthy of the honor of the 75 NBA superstars? Perhaps this honor is the greatest honor of Lillard's career.
It's no exaggeration to say that Lillard is a super giant bastard. As a super pitcher that can be recorded in the history of the NBA, Lillard's actual efficiency value is really not high in the regular season. With the free throws of 7 times per game (the same pitchers, Harden and Curry don't have this treatment), Lillard's real hit rate is still more than 130 in the league! Including the poor performance of several strong teams this season, playing the Magic 14 for 2, 13 for 12 free throws and getting 16 points; He scored 12 points and 5 assists against Celtics, 11 points and 5 assists against Oklahoma City, and scored 12 points and 2 assists against Kings. After his highlight, he often had several downturns. The key is that he has a big problem with his defense habits. During the pioneer period, he used to be the leader, with help in pick and roll, and help in single defense. He can paddle freely. When it comes to Bucks, this is the target of military training in singles. Do you expect Brother Alphabet to help you fill in the gaps? The attack is unstable, and the defense is a mess!
But even so, I am impressed that Lillard has also been in the top eight of the MVP list. Lillard has also won the all-star first round this season. You know, in the West, he is difficult to enter the bench! Among them, Lillard or the NBA has no hard honor in active service, but can enter the ranks of 75 superstars. Other superstars reach this threshold after the accumulation of honors, including Leonard and Brother Alphabet, who have led the team to win the championship, Harden's various scoring kings and MVPs, and his ability to guarantee the bottom of the playoffs; Durant's two championships and the MVP of the finals are hard targets, not to mention Curry, who created an era of leadership; James is competing with Jordan for GOAT, but what about Lillard? He has been selected into the best team for seven times in his career (only one time for a while), and has won two All Star Three Point Tournaments. That's all he has. Why not McGrady and Tony Parker?
To put it bluntly, Lillard is a data bastard who has eaten the round proportion bonus. The league has forced him to become a superstar. But once in the playoffs, Lillard is still easy to reveal. It is unnecessary to compare with Kuriharden. His dominance in his peak period is not as strong as Wei! The most embarrassing thing is that Lillard and Bucks still have three years of contracts, namely, $48.79 million+$58.54 million+$63.23 million (with player options). Lillard, who is about to be 34 years old, is not that he can't help Bucks, but that the letter brother and Bucks can't help him. The future is more difficult with the increase of age! Say goodbye to the championship. The league has also given the wrong person.
