Chapter 1049 [Useless! A tradition of pseudo-fans]
Seven Western Conference All-Star substitutes: Brandon Roy, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Nowitzki, Duncan.
Nowitzki's form is very good. He became the second leader when he joined the Warriors. He averaged only 29.7 minutes per game, scored 18.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2 assists, shooting percentage of 49.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.8%, and averaged 1.8 three-point shooting percentage of 1.8 three-pointers per game.
The opponent double-teamed Curry and couldn't double-team Nowitzki. He was accurate in both singles and singles with the ball and shot after screening, and his mid-range shooting percentage was close to 50%. His shots at the low post and the basket combined were only 1.5 times, and his real shooting percentage was as high as 60.3%.
Many people are still saying that Nowitzki is a softie because his shooting distance is too far. In fact, this is exactly his strength. Which star guard doesn't want such a partner?
Brooke Lopez averaged only 29.2 minutes per game, scoring 17 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.8 blocks, shooting percentage of 47.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%. He was not selected as the All-Star because the coaches wanted Duncan, who was about to retire.
The 39-year-old "Stone Buddha" Duncan was probably selected for the All-Star Game for the last time in his career, and his meaning is special. Now many people say that he is the No. 21 rookie. He averaged 29 minutes per game, scored 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and shot a 51.2% shooting percentage.
The magical thing is that until this season, Duncan's offensive and defensive efficiency was still among the top in all insides. His physical strength was worse and his playing time was shortened.
Due to the butterfly effect caused by Guo Xu, Duncan and the Spurs lost three championships, but this did not prevent him from becoming a legendary and the No. 1 power forward in NBA history.
Guo Xu never feels sorry for Duncan. He is not doing well on Earth, and he is awesome in some parallel worlds, but he doesn't know it. Even if he has achieved his current results, 99% of the players in NBA history can only look up to him.
Thunder point guard Westbrook is the only player in the West to be selected for the Star Game outside the playoffs, and he relies on his luxurious accurate triple-double statistics.
After Guo Xu retired, the Suns made the turn of "Temini" in charge, and both swingers averaged 20+ per game. Roy was responsible for holding the ball, and Thompson played without the ball, and cooperated very well.
The Suns' sixth man is also a swingman, Jimmy Butler is responsible for holding the ball and leading the rotation lineup. Last season, D'Antoni gave Jeremy Lin a chance, and his performance was average. Butler's breakthrough was sharper, his physical fitness was explosive, and he could take on more responsibilities.
Butler averaged 31 minutes per game, scored 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists, shot 46.2% from the field and 36.7% from three-point shooting percentage. Unfortunately, the league began to increase its salary in 2015. Butler refused to renew his contract in advance last season. It was impossible for the Suns to keep him at a lower price.
With the performance of the inside Whiteside and Ibaka, the Suns are still strong this season, ranking third in the West in the mid-term, surpassing the Clippers and the Spurs.
LeBron James regretted after seeing the Suns' performance. The Suns have salary space in summer, and he can join if he recommends himself. The Suns also need big-name stars, so they can achieve a win-win situation.
In terms of lineup depth, the Suns with one more star may compete with the Warriors, and James can also play power forwards.
"Self-esteem" once again led to James choosing the wrong team. The Nets team has his brother Jayz, who is the team's small boss. When he went there, he could be said to be looking for his brother to play basketball, called brother basketball...
Well, James is not self-esteem at all. He just thinks that there are many stars in the Nets. He reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season and thought that the chance of winning the championship after joining is high. However, the Suns were eliminated in the first round, and it was the Western Conference team, so he had no confidence in competing with the Warriors.
Moreover, when he joined the Nets, he thought he was very attractive and could attract Nowitzki to stay in the team with a salary cut. As a result, his show of kindness didn't work, so Nowitzki ran directly to the Warriors.
Five Eastern Conference players: Damian Lillard, John Wall, Paul George, James, Kevin Love.
The Raptors have a good record and rank fifth in the Eastern Conference. Lillard became the first core of the team. He was nicknamed "King of the North", and his popularity soared. Wall, who won 800,000 votes slightly inferior to 860,000 votes.
The Wizards ranked second in the Eastern Conference in the mid-term record, second only to the Bucks, and two of them were selected as All-Stars.
Love and Wall's pick-and-roll cooperation became more and more tacit, and they became famous partners in the East.
Wall is a point guard who lacks range and has a specialty of breakthroughs. Love likes to pull out and cover his teammates and make a fixed-point turret for his catch and shoot. Center Steven Adams can also provide cover for the defender, cut into the basket, or grab a frontcourt rebound.
Bradley Bill was also a player with All-Star Potential in 2012. He is a 196m tall shooting guard with outstanding skills, can play with both balls and without balls, and has accurate shooting.
The Wizards' biggest weakness is the small forward, the "nine-finger dunk king" Gerald Green, who was a teammate with Guo Xu and could only be the marginal man in the Suns, and the substitutes were Garnett Temple and veteran Rasu Butler.
The Wizards' lineup is quite deep, with Ramon Sessions, Chris Humphries, Drew Gooden and so on the inside...
Seven substitutes in the Eastern Conference: Al Jefferson, Demar DeRozan, Millsap, Rollden, Vucevic, Gordon Hayward, Eric Bradsso.
The Hornets were selected as the All-Stars with both internal and external cores. Even if they are ugly, they will be selected as the East, because there are no more stars to choose from. If they don’t choose them, they will have to play with the player with the lowest record.
If Jefferson is not selected, the only option inside line is DeAndrew Jordan, who averages 11 points, 15.2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2.3 blocks per game. His free throw percentage is only 42.7%, and he often encounters Shark-cutting tactics.
Experts generally believe that Jordan Jr.'s data is good because of his teammates' "assistance". On the offensive end, he can only rely on the basket to play. The overall defense of the 76ers is also very bad, and his defensive power cannot be seen.
Kobe, who averaged 23+5+5 per game, also lost due to his record. The 76ers were in a bad position this season and he was a bad player. His shooting percentage hit a new career low. This time he really missed due to double-teaming. He is the most reliable three-point shooter in the lineup.
Anthony's data is also beautiful, because he was not selected because of his poor record, and he played a few games, so the Knicks are only ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference.
Rollden was selected as a substitute after Derek Ross was injured. Ross was injured again and again, and the Bulls were still ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, with an outstanding record.
Rollden, who was known as the Ba teammate, has always performed well after joining the Bulls. He was selected into the best defensive team before. The Bulls' defensive efficiency and average points loss per game are ranked among the top three in the league.
This result made Kobe very embarrassed. Only some Kobe expressed dissatisfaction and believed that Kobe should be selected.
This is probably a tradition of pseudo-fans. They only look at data and don’t care about shooting percentage. Some Komi even proposed the “real hit rate is useless”. Although Kobe’s shooting percentage is less than 40% and his real hit rate is less than 50% this season, he is by no means a cancer, but a teammate Ba.
In order to belittle the players they don’t like, some people ignore the facts. The “true hit rate is useless” can be understood as “it doesn’t matter if the player scores more or less points each time they make a move.”
Those who believe this have no solution, so don’t bother to argue with them.
