Break the doubt! Is Wiggins worth a top salary of 35 million for the seven stars who performed amazing in the playoffs?

With the final whistle of the Warriors and the Green Shirts G6, the 221-22 NBA season officially came to an end, Golden State Warriors finally won the O 'Brien Cup, and Curry successfully realized the most valuable player in the finals. The Lakers and the Nets, the favorites to win the championship before the start of the game, one did not make the playoffs and the other was swept out in the first round. The two teams used their performances to verify the truth to the fans: there is no shortcut on the road to success!

playoff, the stage for testing the quality of stars! There is more intense physical confrontation and clearer defensive arrangement here, which makes it difficult for the stars to play beautiful data. Just like Trey Young, who averaged 28.4 points in the regular game, the data slipped to 15.4 points after encountering targeted defense in the playoffs. On the contrary, being able to play its own value in this environment is often appreciated by the management and fans, and its worth is also improved.

Counting the seven stars who proved their strength in this year's playoffs:

Playoff data: 17 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists, 5.8% shooting percentage and 39.1% shooting percentage

In the offseason in 219, Poole, who finished his sophomore year at the University of Michigan, attacked the draft with the data of averaging 12.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. If Poole was put in the draft ten years ago, he would have only one result, and that was to lose the draft. However, the era of small ball became a springboard for him to enter the NBA. Because of his comprehensive offensive skills, the Warriors chose to take it off with the No.28 draft in the first round.

Poole, who entered the league for the first time, is lucky. The Golden State Warriors are in the recovery period of the disintegration of the "space battleship" at this time. With Durant's departure and Thompson's reimbursement for the season, the only data for the Warriors to lead the league is the luxury tax exceeding 1 million US dollars.

In the rookie season, Poole experienced a difficult adaptation period. Behind the average score of 8.8 points per game, the embarrassing situation of shooting percentage was only 33.3%, and the negative news of "parallel imports" and "quick trading" came one after another. Fortunately, at that time, the Warriors were in a bad period, and Poole's poor performance did not cause too many waves. After adapting to the intensity of the league competition, Poole handed over his report card with 12 points and a shooting percentage of 43.1% in the second year, and sat firmly in the team as Curry's substitute.

In the offseason last year, Poole conducted targeted training to improve the stability of the offensive end. One of the most important things was to watch the video of the game in Curry and learn how to get rid of the defense, the choice of the breakthrough route, and the arm action during the three-point projection. The extreme mastery of the details made Poole make rapid progress.

"You just work hard, and then surprise everyone inadvertently." Poole's sudden emergence this season surprised coach Cole, including starting, tactical tilt and giving the ball, which finally fixed Poole's regular season data at 18.5 points and 4 assists, which surprised Warriors fans.

Poole, who played in the playoffs for the first time in his career, didn't panic at all. As the strongest firepower point of the Warriors' reserve team, he hit 2.3 three-pointers per game in 27.5 minutes, and his shooting percentage was higher than Curry, Thompson and Wiggins. In this year's finals, Poole came off the bench and scored 15 three-pointers, second only to the Raptors Van Frith (16) in 219, ranking second in history.

this summer, Poole will have the qualification to renew the contract with the Warriors in advance, which is expected to be $1 million in four years. However, the current high luxury tax of the team is the biggest problem in renewing the contract.

playoff data: 27 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting percentage of 47.5% and three-point shooting percentage of 4.7%

As the second-place show in 216, Ingram, with a height of 2.3 meters and a wingspan of 2.21 meters, was highly expected by the Lakers, but after three seasons of training, he could not withstand the sensation of James parachuting into Los Angeles, and Ingram became the main bargaining chip for the Lakers to get a thick eyebrow brother. In his first season, Ingram averaged 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game due to the team's tactical tilt, and scored a goal with one foot in the ranks.

Just when Ingram, who was paid the highest salary, wanted to throw his arms around and go for it, talented champion Zion Williamson jumped out. After getting rid of the injury, he averaged 27 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. His highly ornamental playing style captured a large number of fans' support, not only making him an All-Star for the first time in his career, but also taking away Ingram's ball rights and leadership position in the team.

Just as the team management was thinking about who to build the team around, the injury found Zion again. The foot injury made him miss all the games this season, and the soaring weight during his recovery made him labeled as undisciplined. Zion Williamson, who has played only 85 games in three seasons, has gradually disappointed the team and fans.

In the first half of this season, Ingram led the Pelican with a single core. In order to help the team win the game more easily, the small forward turned more energy to the series team attack, but the overall strength was too poor to fundamentally improve the team ranking. In order to change this dilemma, the Pelican made a deal with the pioneers of reconstruction, and mccollum became the strongest signing this season. At the end of the season, the Pelican also caught up with the last bus of the playoffs with a high winning rate.

This is the first playoff of Ingram's career. His opponent is the Suns, the champion of the regular season. Because the winning percentage difference between the two sides is 34 percentage points, 5% of the media think that the Pelican will be swept out. In the second game of the series, Ingram scored 37 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists at the Suns' home court, winning his first playoff victory, and at the same time, he also hit back at the media who questioned Pelican's victory before the game.

Although the final score was fixed at 4-2, it was not easy for the Sun to play in the whole series. If it weren't for Paul's superb performance of 14 shots in G6, both sides would probably be in a tie-break. Ingram has been honed in this series and officially entered the ranks of stars. Next season, all the healthy pelicans are worth looking forward to.

playoff data: 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists, shooting percentage of 46.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.7%

4-2 victory over Jazz and 4-3 elimination of Suns, and the unsung lone ranger made it to the Western Conference finals. Facing the warriors with a neat lineup, Dancsics's data was still gorgeous, averaging 32 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 steals per game, but his shooting percentage was only. On the other hand, brunson, who has just been promoted to No.2, averaged 18 points and 4.2 assists in the Western Conference, shooting 4.2% from three points, making him the best player in the team.

As the second round show in 218, brunson, who is only 1.85 meters tall, has never been reused in the first three seasons of his career. This season, due to Hardaway's season reimbursement, the lone ranger had to use brunson with comprehensive offensive skills to relieve Dancsics's offensive pressure.

The lone ranger tried to employ people this time, but he got a big surprise. brunson, who is short and stocky, is extremely soft in shooting, and he is especially good at mid-range jump shots. During the regular season, his shooting percentage is over 5%, which is very rare for a small player.

With the highlight of the contract year, brunson's current worth has soared. Salary experts predict that he will get a four-year, $85 million contract in the free market. The Knicks are very interested in this teenager and intend to hire his father as a team assistant, hoping to attract him by using the "family card". Due to the limited salary space of the lone ranger, in order to avoid paying the luxury tax, it is highly probable that brunson will be sent away by signing first and then changing.

playoff data: 25.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting percentage of 45.5% and three-point shooting percentage of 4.3%

When Curry won the championship trophy, the Timberwolves became the focus of fans' discussion. In early 22, in order to get Russell, he did not hesitate to send Wiggins and the first round draft, which helped the Warriors return to the peak. The poor selection vision of Timberwolves' management is the main reason for the team's decline, but Cycas sometimes blooms. Last season, the "stocking" model for top scholar Edwards was quickly rewarded.

after a season's experience, Edwards, who is strong and has excellent athletic quality, has found out the strength of NBA confrontation and his speed advantage. When Downs and Russell returned from injuries, this timberwolves began to cash in on their talents. He scored 46 wins and 36 losses in the regular season, then defeated the Clippers in the play-offs, and returned to the playoffs again after four years. Edwards averaged 21.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the regular game, and repeatedly staged stunning dunks.

When playing in the playoffs for the first time in his career, teenager Edwards showed the momentum that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. In the face of the same young grizzly bear, Edwards, who is nearly two meters tall and weighs 12 kilograms, has obvious contraposition advantage, and his outside shooting and breakthrough ending efficiency are extremely high.

The fly in the ointment is that Edwards' defensive efficiency in this series is only 111.3, and he lacks awareness and experience in assisting defense. At the same time, three-pointers accounted for 52% of the total shots, and giving up the impact on the inside made the space center Downs play very uncomfortable.

Edwards' excellent performance embarrassed the team's point guard Russell, who averaged only 12 points and 6.7 assists in the playoffs, and his poor performance greatly disappointed the management. In order to defend Edwards, the Timberwolves are selling Russell everywhere in the free market. At present, he has one year left on his top salary contract, worth $31.38 million.

playoff data: 23.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 47% shooting percentage and 37.3% three-point shooting percentage

The 216 draft is an out-and-out draft year. Except for top-ranked Simmons and second-placed Ingram, all the other players are like foil, including Jay Brown, a flower scout, who is called the "rough brother" with cracked physical quality. Brown, who has just entered the league, lacks offensive skills, likes to go on the rampage with the ball, and has staged funny cross-buckles many times. His poor performance made him only get 17.6 minutes in his rookie season.

When Brown was mired in the mire, Garnett, a famous resident of the Green Army, sent a caring message: "Do you know the true meaning of the Green Army? Keep your head up, young man, and don't be a coward!" After Damblanc rallied, he found the heartfelt care of coaches, trainers and home fans. After playing with expectation and love, Brown chose to start from defense and contribute to the team's victory with a positive attitude.

In order to make himself an all-round offensive and defensive player, Brown learned the dribbling rhythm and jump shot technique with an open mind from McGrady. In just three seasons, Brown's data rose to 2.3 points and 6.4 rebounds, which secured the starting position of the team.

In this year's playoffs, after sweeping the Nets in the first round, the Green Army fought seven rounds with the Bucks and the Heat, and advanced to the finals through two thrilling tiebreaks, during which Tatum played the most brilliant role. During the finals, Tatum was limited by Wiggins, averaging 21.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7 assists in six games, and shooting 36.7%. On the other hand, Brown averaged 23.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, leading the team in scoring and being the most stable player in the Green Shirts.

In the offseason this year, Brown is eligible to complete the contract renewal with the Green Army ahead of schedule, and the contract is about $11 million for three years, but it is unlikely that Brown's brokerage team will accept this contract far below the top salary. At present, Brown has two years left on his contract, and his salary is $28.5 million and $3 million respectively. In 224, he will become a completely free agent, and then he will be eligible for a super top salary, provided that his performance can continue to be efficient.

playoff data: 27.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists, shooting percentage 5.6% and three-point shooting percentage 33.8%

Last year's playoff, the Heat, which alternated between old and new, met the Bucks with a neat lineup in the first round. Coach Buden holzer arranged a "double-team package" for Butler alone, and the tough guy's data was fixed at 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7 under the defense of Alphabet and Tucker. Bad data and embarrassing achievements have plunged Butler, who is holding a top salary, into the whirlpool of public opinion.

In the regular season of this season, Lori's joining made the whole team more integrated. Butler gave up some ball rights to Adebayor and Hiro for the sake of smooth running-in of the lineup, and put more energy on the defensive end, which made his data of 21.4+5.9+5.5 no bright spot compared with other stars. As the Heat's record has always been in the leading position in the East, Butler's less "brilliant" play has also been automatically ignored by fans.

In the playoffs to test the star's quality, when the season's best sixth man, Hiro, was dumb on the offensive end and the new aid, Lori, frequently struck the iron outside the three-point line, the leader Butler no longer kept a low profile. After receiving the offensive banner, he beat the Hawks 4-1, and then eliminated his old club, Philadelphia 76ers 4-2. In seven games against the Green Army in Dong Jue, he averaged 25.6 points, 7 rebounds and 3.4 assists and shot 47.7%. Although the team failed to enter the finals, Butler tried his best to prove his star quality with his performance.

playoff data: 16.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists, shooting percentage 46.9% and three-point shooting percentage 33.3%

During the regular season, Wiggins' performance can be said to be high and low, with both offensive and defensive skills before the All-Star game, personal play and the Warriors' huge fan base, and he entered the starting lineup after being selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career (leonard and George were injured); After the All-Star Game, Thompson's performance was sluggish. Thompson's comeback caused confusion in his positioning on the court, and his unreasonable shots led to a decline in shooting percentage. Fortunately, defending always online did not affect the overall rhythm of Golden State Warriors.

In the playoffs, because the Warriors' opponents Nuggets and Grizzlies were not very strong in the first two rounds, and the star players were centers and point guards, Wiggins didn't give much play to the role players. He shot empty, cut empty without the ball and defended carefully, and completed the task assigned by coach Cole. After all, the "18-point spell" restricted the talented champion.

In the Western Conference finals, Wiggins met his real opponent, Dancsics, who is over two meters tall and weighs 14 kilograms. He is a typical rhythmic player with no absolute breakthrough speed and is good at scoring by taking advantage of his body.

Cole looks at his own point guard line. Curry is the core of the team's attack and can't spend too much energy on the defensive end. Poole belongs to the defensive black hole, and defense is equal to giving points; Thompson recovered from a major injury, and his speed and figure were not dominant.

So the important task of defending Dancsics falls on Wiggins, who has a run-up bounce of over 11 cm and strong upper limb strength. Wiggins defended by retreating in the first two games, and interfered with Dancsics when he was about to make a shot, which made the latter five.
