Durant's offensive performance is definitely ranked first and second in the NBA. His Warriors beat the Cavaliers to win the NBA championship in the NBA season of 20 16- 17, and he also won the first championship in his career and the MVP in the finals. During the season, he averaged 25. 1 minute, 8.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
Since Durant left the team, Shao Wei has shouldered the responsibility of Big Brother Thunder. 20 16- 17 NBA season, averaging 3 1.6 points 10.7 rebounds 10.4 assists. Triple-doubles per game became another miracle after Robertson who wrote fantasy stories. He won the MVP20 16- 17 NBA regular season.
Harden came to the Rockets and gradually became the absolute boss of the team. In the 20 16- 17 NBA season, Harden started the outbreak mode, averaging 29. 1 points 8. 1 rebounds1.2 assists 1.5 steals,.
If ray three little don't collapse. For them personally, maybe everyone will not have so much room for development and such good data. For Thunder, it may become the strongest team in the league, and the three of them may become the strongest trio in NBA history. This team and this combination will now become invincible in the NBA.
But there are not so many ifs in this world. What is done is done. We can only expect the three of them to perform better in their future careers!
In the history of NBA, there are many ifs. For example, many people are still talking about the 1984 draft. What would happen if the blazers chose Jordan? The biggest thing in the NBA in recent years is that Thunder San Shao doesn't understand what kind of situation it is.
A few years ago, Thunder sent Harden and Ibaka away, but didn't leave Durant. It is difficult for outsiders to give them high marks for their operations, but they have selected three regular season MVP players in the draft for three consecutive years, and everyone admires their vision.
As early as 2009 09- 10/0 season, Shao Wei Harden-Durant-Jeff Green-Ibaka, five players who are still under rookie contracts, have already shown strong momentum. Because these young people have good prospects, considering that they need to face the headache of renewing their contracts in the future, Thunder has been doing subtraction; At first, they lost Jeff Green and got Perkins. Although Perkins, a slow-moving insider with no projection ability, doesn't match the style of these young people, when the Thunder had tough guys in the insider who could match Duncan, Gasol and Bynum, they officially launched an attack on the championship and reached the finals at 20 12.
Although they were completely defeated by the Heat Big Three in that year's finals, considering that the core players of that Thunder are basically 23 or 4 years old, many people once thought that they would establish a dynasty of their own in the future. But that summer, because of millions of dollars, Thunder let Harden go.
Although there was also a factor of paying less luxury tax when Harden was released at the beginning, the main reason for letting Harden go was that Thunder's estimation of Harden was biased. Although Harden is one of the best players in the NBA at present and has been a favorable competitor of MVP in the regular season in recent years, his role in that thunder is the sixth man. 20 1 1- 12 season, he won the best sixth man with an average of 16.8 points +3.7 assists. Harden played a very important role in the Western Conference finals. However, in the finals, Harden's performance was very general, so after determining the core positions of Durant and Shao Wei, Thunder's uniform team took it for granted that Harden was the sixth person and did not deserve the top salary; On the other hand, Harden felt that he should have the same contract as Shao Wei. After the two sides failed to negotiate at the negotiating table, Thunder traded him to the Rockets.
Four years after Harden left the Rockets, Thunder reached the Western Conference finals twice, ranking first in the Western Conference in the regular season, with good results, but never reached the finals again. Why didn't you make it to the final? This is caused by many reasons, such as injuries. 20 13 In the first round of the Western Conference, Shao Wei was reimbursed by Beverly during the dry injury season. 20 14 Ibaka was injured in the Western Conference final. Even if he came back with an injury later, Ibaka, who played with an injury, was a little powerless to old Duncan. It was that injury that limited his personal ability to make further breakthroughs. 20 15 Durant was reimbursed for injury early in the regular season, and the Thunder didn't even make the playoffs. However, they are also very close to the final. 20 16 western conference finals, 3- 1 leading warriors. In the sixth game, they opened a certain difference at home early, and the result was forcibly pulled back by Thompson's invincible touch. It was also that summer that Durant chose to defect.
This group of young people, who were elected by Thunder, are now left with Shao Wei. When Shao Wei leads the team to win the MVP in the regular season, he hopes to set a triple-double record for three consecutive seasons in the regular season; Harden also won the MVP in the Rockets, and Durant won the MVP in the regular season as early as 20 13. In the past two years, he won two finals MVP in the Warriors, plus Ibaka, who played well in the Raptors. If this core team had not been dissolved, many people thought that Thunder had established a dynasty. After all, Durant, at the end of the Thunder, when the Thunder hit the fourth quarter, basically looked at the double-less 2-5, and so on. So theoretically, that team passed the Warriors with Harden. Add up the data of these four men this season, and they average 97.3, 3 rebounds1.1,26 assists1,3 blocked shots and 5.7 steals. It looks horrible.
But competitive sports can't be equal to 3 unless it is 1+ 1. The data explosion of Harden and Shao Wei in the past two years is related to their being the boss of the team and getting unlimited fire rights. Harden and Shao Wei are both better at keeping the ball in their hands for a long time, even if Ibaka and Durant can run without the ball and pull to the outside; However, if this core lineup has not disintegrated and Durant is the boss of the team, then the boss can't always sit back and watch the second and third singles, can he? Of course, from the personal relationship of these three players, the right to grab the ball is not contradictory, but the data between them will definitely be affected. Harden may only be the sixth person to hand over 20 points per game, and Shao Wei's data will be seriously shrunk.
Of course, since 20 12 reached the finals, these people have made remarkable progress in recent years, so if we keep this team and have an excellent coach to find a balance among them, their offensive talent is enough to give the other side a headache. On the defensive end, both Shao Wei and Durant have good single defense ability. Ibaka is an excellent inner iron gate. Even Harden, who looks almost defenseless, can still defend the tall and strong front line if you let him. . . In theory, the upper limit of this thunder is completely higher than that of today's warriors. If he had led the team to win the championship earlier, perhaps Durant would have surpassed James to become the first player in the league.
Durant won the third place in 2007. In the first year, the team he led was 20 wins and 62 losses, and the west was the bottom. It turned out that the draft was unlucky. The No.1 pick was won by the Bulls with 33 wins. In addition, the second pick and flowers were taken away by the Heat and the Timberwolves, so the Thunder can only sign Shao Wei with the fourth pick. If Thunder had chosen the No.1 pick at that time, Durant would probably have partnered with derrick rose!
Durant teamed up with Shao Wei in the first year, and Thunder got the flower-detecting sign from the bottom of the valley with 23 wins and 59 losses. Then james harden was successfully selected in the draft in June, and the Thunder finally came together!
12 Harden's strength? Should he bear the responsibility for losing to the Heat in the finals? Let's take a look at the appearance time distribution of Thunder 20 12. The starting point guard is Sevrosa, averaging 4.8 points in 20 minutes. Harden came off the bench, averaging 3 1 minute and 16.8 points per game. It can be seen that Sevorosa is just a facade, and Harden is the lining! At that time, Harden was not the sixth person who was only in charge of scoring on the bench like joe johnson and Crawford. In the fourth quarter, Harden is the most important defensive gate around Durant and Shao Wei! In the first round of the playoffs, Shao Wei defended Kidd and Harden defended Terry. In the second round of the playoffs, Shao Wei defended sessions and Harden defended Kobe!
Defensively, Harden worked hard, but offensively, Harden turned out to be the most efficient player in the Thunder regular season. 12. If Harden hadn't left Thunder, he would have been trained as a player with both offensive and defensive abilities like Leonard!
Harden's best performance this year is the six-game series against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals! In fact, Harden's performance in the first round of the playoffs was good. He shot 50% and 46.2% in 32.3 minutes, averaging 18.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.5 steals, which not only has high offensive efficiency, but also became a nightmare for the Mavericks on the defensive end! When facing the Spurs in the Western Conference finals, the Spurs got off to a good start with a big score of 2-0 at the beginning of the series, and Harden also saved the team many times, especially in the crucial game 5 of Tianwangshan. Harden scored 12 with a shooting percentage of 100% in the fourth quarter to help the team win the match point! Then in the last game, Harden scored 8 points in a row at the crucial moment in the fourth quarter, which laid the foundation for the victory of the game!
In this series, Harden's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 6 1%, while he averaged only 12 shots per game, but got 18.5 points. On the other hand, Shao Wei's shooting percentage is 37.8%, and he only scored 18.2 in the highest team!
Of course, in the key finals, Harden did drag his feet. In the face of the Heat's Big Three Harden, he had almost no chance to shoot, but he only shot 9.6 times, Durant 20.8 times and Shao Wei 24 times. It is unreasonable to attribute the defeat to Harden!
If Harden stayed in Thunder in the summer of 12, could he still play today's performance? Many fans say that if Harden stays in the Heat, the Thunder may not be able to fight, but this is not the case!
As we said above, if we follow the steps, Harden will probably become a player like Leonard, with both offense and defense, but with fewer balls! But the reality is that 13 Shao Wei was injured, and Shao Wei only played more than 40 games in the whole season, so Harden and Durant formed a dual core at this moment, and Harden will definitely show his talents in assists; 14, Durant was injured again. Durant only played 27 games throughout the season. Harden partnered with Shao Wei, and Harden will definitely increase his score. In addition, Shao Wei only played 67 games this season, and Harden had to lead the team alone for some time. I think with Harden's ability, he can definitely show something different!
So the conclusion is that it is difficult to win MVP, because Durant is the boss of the team, and when he is on the same team as Sanshao, he is the top two in the regular season league of Thunder, so Durant will definitely win several MVP trophies first, just like the Warriors' Curry! Harden and Shao Wei will shrink a lot in personal honor, but they will be compensated in the championship!
How many championships can Thunder win in those years? In fact, comparing with 16 playoff, Durant and Shao Wei's Dual-Core Thunder once won 73 wins in the West with 3: 1. If you add Harden, Thunder will never turn over! If 16 wins the championship, it will basically be the era of thunder!
Moreover, under the condition that Harden doesn't leave, Thunder has the strength to win the championship in 13, 14 or even 15. 14, the thunder almost beat the spurs in the west without harden! So the conclusion is that it is difficult to establish a dynasty, but it is quite promising to win three championships!
Of course, the realistic ending is that in the summer of 12, Harden asked for 6,000 yuan for four years, and Thunder only paid 56 million yuan for four years, leaving only one hour for Harden to consider! At that time, the main reason why Thunder saved this 4 million was tax avoidance, but this 4 million was settled in four years, with an annual increase of 6.5438+0 million, and the additional part of luxury tax was less than 2 million. It can only be said that the management of Thunder was out of its mind at that moment! In the end, Harden transferred 78.5 million yuan to the rocket in five years, and the bright future of Thunder vanished!
Although Harden has no champion now, the historical position given by ESPN has been hovering around 30. If he stays in Thunder Harden, he will probably become Ginobili, with few personal honors, but many championships. Now Ginobili ranks close to 60 in history. Which of these two occupations is better?
Make a bold prediction! If the thunder does not disintegrate, it will become a "cosmic thunder"! Curry became the "fourth mother" of the library!
The story still has to start from the season of 14- 15!
Durant, Westbrook and Harden formed the famous Thunder Big Three, and won the championship with the best record of the team in 14- 15 season! This season, Golden State Warriors released klay thompson to join the Rockets in order to save $6 million!
15- 16 in the regular season, the thunder went further and achieved the best record in the history of 73 wins! After the playoffs 1-3 fell behind, Westbrook went against the sky and finally eliminated the Golden State Warriors led by Curry and Green 4-3! However, in the finals, due to the abnormal performance of the lineup attacking short board "Robertson", it was unfortunately lost to the Cavaliers led by James, Owen and Love!
At the end of the season, Curry chose to join the Thunder team and formed the "Cosmic Thunder" of the Super Big Four. Curry was nicknamed "Ku Si Niang". After a season of running-in, Thunder finally retaliated against Cleveland Cavaliers in the 16- 17 season and won the championship trophy!
17- 18 season, leaving the Golden State Warriors in Curry, with the active operation of the management, paul george, Cameron Anthony and Green once again formed the Big Three! In the Rockets, Clay Thompson has grown into an MVP shooting guard, and has welcomed Paul to assist Thompson. Finally, he has the capital to challenge Thunder. He defeated Thunder in a single game 1 1 three-pointer in the Western Conference finals and won the championship of 17- 18!
There is a saying that the Thunder's draft and the Rockets' abandonment are the treasures in the league. Indeed, the players abandoned by the Rockets have now become all-stars like Lori, point guard Radzic and last season's best sixth man Williams. Thunder's draft is nothing more than the three hottest MVPs recently.
Thunder's management has a unique vision, winning Durant's second place and not choosing Auden the Great. This choice directly affects the alliance pattern. Durant's lethality is too inexplicable, comparable to James. Harden was selected by Thunder in the third place flower show in 2009, but he traded to Houston for 5 million.
Harden is now a star in the league who takes into account the overall situation and scoring ability.
If the three are inseparable, Thunder can definitely capture O 'Brien alive, and the combination of Tortoise and Bearded Death can completely crush the league's usual backcourt defense. Harden plays the control position, takes advantage of his excellent ability in tandem teams, and brings his own foul attributes; Shao Wei plays SG, and his excellent physical strength and explosive power will surely shine; The key point is Durant, playing small forward, using his height difference and mobile control technology to play anyone is misplaced, plus soft touch. If these three groups add up, there will be no warriors in the league. Harden suppressed Curry, Shao Wei confronted Tang Shen, and death crushed all warriors. Except slag! Three MVP combinations, who else will win the championship? Thunder's draft is really hard to stop, but it's a pity that you didn't keep it. What a pity.
Thunder is stupid. First of all, you can keep Harden at that time. The beard didn't cost much. 1300 is stable, and 1800 is the most. There's nothing wrong with letting harden go. Keep Jackson who was struck by lightning and use him as the sixth person. No problem. Shao Wei Ibaka Adams Durant, increase the depth of the bench. There will be a champion in the end, at least there will always be a champion contender. Durant's departure shattered the Thunder and laid a hidden danger for the Warriors. Durant's salary cut can't satisfy the stars who have been underpaid.
Imagine, if the thunder doesn't disintegrate, it will be a rocket at most this year. The pattern of NBA will be that the western thunder and warriors will dominate the world, and the same winner will win the championship.
Today, the former Thunder San Shao has grown into a league superstar. San Shao's eldest brother and second brothers Durant and Shao Wei have won the MVP in the regular season. If there is no accident this season, the third brother Harden will also win the first regular season MVP of his career.
So can the three MVPs add up to win the championship? Of course not. Judging from the way they play, all three people need to control the ball, especially Shao Wei and Harden. Imagine if Harden was still in the thunder, he wouldn't have unlimited fire rights like he did in the rocket. Of course, the team will not build the team system with him as the core, and he is at most the role of the warrior Thompson.
Sometimes one plus one plus one is probably less than three, and the play of three people is actually out of place. Therefore, if Lei San is not disintegrated, there will be no great achievements. On the other hand, if the three people want to achieve something, disintegration is inevitable.
At that time, the young Thunder III had reached the peak, but unfortunately lost to LeBron.
Thunder's next operation can be described as brain damage.
For a little money, I traded Harden directly without waiting for Harden's answer.
Martin was found to replace Harden. It turns out that Harden reached the MVP level in only five years. Did you cry, Lei Ming?
At the beginning, if three people were reinforcing the inside line, maybe Thunder would have made a dynasty long ago, and even now they don't admit that they can shake the position of Thunder!
Harden is far ahead in the latest MVP list. Ironically, if Harden was elected MVP, Thunder Sanshao would have won the regular season MVP! Unfortunately, the thunder broke a good hand!
Now lose in thunder, lose in meanness? 6 million lost to Harden?
It's not that thunder lost in the overall situation, and lost in the long-term vision! This price is too high. Thunder has lost a glory, an era and a dynasty!
Today of this season, Thunder lost to Oladipo and Sabonis Junior again.
Oladipo data
Little Sabonis data
If the Thunder three don't disintegrate, then the NBA definitely has a dynasty that belongs to them. In this changeable NBA, there are not only the glorious years when the dynasty won the championship, but also the glory of the martyrs in their later years. We often ask ourselves how good it would be if these things didn't happen. It's a pity that time can't be repeated. What happened bit by bit in the league, good and bad, will eventually be engraved in the torrent of history, and nothing can be changed, only Huai Myanmar.
Do you know why they are called "Lei Sanshao"? As we all know, in the first season before the disintegration of Sanshao, they reached the finals. Although it failed to win the championship in the end, it lost to the Heat Big Three, which was in full swing at the beginning. Although this is a glorious failure. "Three Less", because Durant was only 23 years old, in the fifth season of his career, Shao Wei was 23 years old, in the fourth season of his career, and Harden was 22 years old, in the third grade. He led the team to the finals at such a young age, and his future is limitless.
In the offseason, Sanshao intended to make a comeback after failure, but because of 6 million yuan, Thunder finally released Harden, the future MVP+ scoring champion, a bench gangster who could bring them strong offensive firepower. Harden was actually very suitable for Thunder. Durant was the first scoring point of Thunder, and Shao Wei was the main ball control organizer. However, as we all know, Mr. Wei always likes to be hot-headed, especially when he is alone at a critical moment. 1 1- 12 season, why did thunder enter the finals? The cooperation of three people is very complementary. As a result, the transaction went to Harden, and the thunder "dispersed", which also led to the isolation of the two in the later period. 16 season 3- 15- 1 led by the Warriors, which eventually led Durant to "run away" from the Warriors.
Buckley once said in the program: If Thunder Three Little Don't disintegrate. For them personally, maybe everyone will not have so much room for development and such good data. For Thunder, it may become the strongest team in the league, and the three of them may become the strongest trio in NBA history. This team, this combination, will be super invincible in the NBA.
Fans who really know the NBA know that even if the three brothers are put into one team now, do you think there are other teams? Welcome fans and friends to pay attention to communication.
