In the first round of the playoffs, James scored 127 points and Harden scored 131 points. What about Curry? It s ridiculous

The first round of the NBA playoffs has all ended. In fact, the biggest focus in the first round is on those traffic teams, the Lakers where James is, the Clippers where Harden is, and the Warriors where Curry is, who can go further? As a result, the Lakers were the most promising, but they were the first to go home to fish, and were swept by the Timberwolves Gentleman 1-4. The Clippers are only one step away from advancing, and they fought with the Nuggets until the tiebreak, and eventually they were eliminated with hatred. Only the Warriors lived up to expectations, and they also became the last hope of the traffic team. Through the 7 series of matches with full intensity, they defeated the Rockets and advanced to the second round with difficulty. So how do these old-school superstars perform in the first round of the playoffs? James of the Lakers averaged 25.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game in five games in the first round. From

G1 to G5, James scored 19 points + 21 points + 38 points + 27 points + 22 points, totaling 127 points. Just looking at basic data, 40-year-old James is still very good. He ranked first in the team in rebounds, steals and blocks per game. In the words of Lakers General Manager Pelinka, "LeBron is one of the greatest players in history and one of the GOATs. He has always been a completely selfless leader. We saw this in this playoff round - he played more without the ball and put more energy on the defensive end. I think this fully reflects his championship genes and personality traits. No matter what the situation is, he will do his best every night and put in 110% of his efforts - whether it is scoring, assists, defense, rebounds or leadership. He is consistent and never waver."

But to be honest, James' actual performance on the court is still slightly inferior to his personal data. After all, as he is so old, it is difficult to maintain concentration in the game. The Lakers may profit from James in some rounds, or may lose points because of James. In addition, the probability of James being invisible at a critical moment is quite high, and it is difficult to take over the game at the decisive moment. Take the fourth quarter data for example. G1 James scored 2 of 5 shots in the last quarter, G2 scored 6 points in the last quarter, G4 scored 0 of 2 shots in the last quarter, G5 scored 5 points in the last quarter, but G3, James scored 3 three-pointers in the last quarter, but the Lakers still lost the game. There is also a relatively embarrassing statistics. James was on the field in this round of playoffs and won by 8 points if he was not present. During the regular season, James' total net negative value was also negative.

Of course, for most James fans, it doesn't matter whether he can win the championship next time. It's one more game, and he really can't play for a few years in his career. Another James, James Harden of the Clippers, averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. From G1 to G7, Harden scored 32 points + 18 points + 20 points + 15 points + 11 points + 28 points + 7 points, totaling 131 points. Unexpectedly, Harden's first 32 points were just a flash in the pan. His performance next time was a bit unsatisfactory. The more critical the game, the more he lost himself. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Harden scored 11 points with 3 of 9 shots, and in the tiebreak battle, he only made 2 of 8 shots, only scored 7 points.

This season's regular season, Harden's condition has recovered strongly. He led the team to stabilize his record in the first half of the season. He was selected as the All-Star again after three years. He also won 50+ in a single game, but his true colors were revealed in the playoffs. I hope Harden's recovery will not be a return. In fact, his personal ability is definitely still there, but his mood has big problems. In many cases, the fighting spirit is not as good as the leaders of other teams. This is also the reason why Harden has repeatedly suffered setbacks in the playoffs. On the other hand, Harden should learn from Curry of the Warriors. Take Curry's Rockets tiebreak game for example. Curry was also in a disaster-season in the first half, but he still did not let go of his offensive aggressiveness. He continued to maintain a high level of concentration and enthusiasm in the game, and finally regained his touch in the second half and led the team to end the game and won the victory. In the first round of the playoffs, James scored 127 points and Harden scored 131 points. What about Curry? Very outrageous. In the 7 playoffs, Curry scored 31 points + 20 points + 36 points + 17 points + 13 points + 29 points + 22 points respectively, with a total of 168 points. The Nuggets met with the teacher in the first round of 7 games, but they only scored 168 points, just like Curry. Curry scored only 13 points in the G5 game, but in fact he played for two quarters. From this point of view, Curry's ability to lead the team and tough battles are still guaranteed, and his scoring stability is still top in the league. After defeating the Rockets, Curry also became the first player in NBA history, winning the playoff tiebreak three times away, and scoring 20+ points in each game. You should know that in the first round series between the Warriors and the Rockets, the physical confrontation was directly overwhelmed, and Curry's defensive treatment was also terrifying, and he didn't let the ball catch him. Faced with such strict defense, he could maintain good output and efficiency. Curry is still not to be underestimated. I wonder if the Warriors have a chance to go further and continue the fire of the traffic team in the second round against the Timberwolves?
