this year's NBA A big deal happened after the star game. New Oléans Pelicans gave away rookie Buddy Hilde , forward Evans , defender Langston Galloway and future first and second round draft picks, ushering in the "strongest cousin on the surface" Cousins . The bright future I had imagined was even the old Ba Meng who climbed into this year's playoffs , but in a few games, she changed her tone. The Pelicans, who have Anthony Davis and Cousins, are highly anticipated by the outside world, but they don't play like a team with the strongest long-range team. This reminds people of the Warriors at the beginning of the season. Although they are a super team with 4 senior star players, they still play in a scattered manner, and even the winning rate is less than 50% at one point. It was not until they went through more than a dozen games that they successfully completed.
Let's take you to see if the super teams of several teams can be successfully run-in or fail
1. Golden State Warriors (successful group 1-1)
I have to mention the Golden State Warriors who just formed the super team this year. At the beginning of the season, many fans must have been surprised, how could the Warriors' performance be unsatisfactory? ? From losing to Spurs in the opening game to the winning rate below 50%, many people have learned that "no matter how strong a team is, it needs to be run-in."
plus this year for the joining of Durant , in order to divert salary space, the entire lineup was stormy, leaving only the original Big Three, Iguodala , Livingston and other 3 substitutes with less playing time, and the others were "swap the whole set". Fortunately, all the players are well adapted, among which, the McGee , which is popular among fans, is a big surprise.
It has to be said that McGee has been unrespected since leaving the Washington Wizards. After 2013, he suffered from injuries and played no more than 35 games per season, and was even delegated to the Development League. But looking at the performance this year, the average playing time is less than ten minutes, with an average of 6.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 0.2 blocking attacks. He also competently replaced the starting position of Pachulia , who was injured and was not in the starting position. In this year's Western Conference Championship, he used his high shooting percentage and was valued by coach Mike Brown, who was on the verge of danger, which made the Spurs, who were weak in the penalty area and were heavily injured, suffered a lot. The Warriors finally swept the Spurs out.
After a season of running-in, the Warriors who successfully won the championship, Durant is more integrated into the Warriors system and has enhanced the bench strength. The young McCovey, the experienced three bench generals, led the lead in rushing, and Pachulia and McGee have successfully topped the team's long-term problem. At this time, Curry and Thompson give you another three-pointer offensive, and such a team is super

2. 2013~14 Brooklyn Nets (Failed to run-in)
(The picture shows the Nets starting the season in 2013~24, it's really a star-shining!!)
Four years ago, a big deal shocked the NBA. In order to prevent the Miami Heat from being the first to be a beautiful player in the East District at that time, the Brooklyn Nets traded with Boston Pierce , Garnett , Terry and DJ White. The Nets used Chris Humphreys, Gerald Wallace, Keith Bogans and Marshan Brooks , plus the first round draft picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018 to reach this deal. At that time, the Nets team really made people feel that the future was bright~
When the outside world thought that the Nets would make a fortune from now on, and in addition, they hired Kidd, who had just retired, to be competent for the position of head coach. Unexpectedly, the Nets achieved a bad result when the season started. Thanks to the star game, the entire team was like a complete transformation, and rushed to the East District playoffs in one fell swoop, and successfully competed in the playoffs with the sixth seed. In the first round, a exciting series with Toronto Raptors , which was about to take off. The two sides fought until the seventh game, and finally relied on Pierce to give the Raptors' head point guard Lori a goodbye hotpot, and thrillingly advanced to the next round.
But the second round was not that good!! The Nets met the Miami Heat, which has the Big Three.Although it was unpopular and he won the first game, he was eliminated by the Heat without any suspense in the next four games. The Nets' 2013-14 season ends here. As a free agent, Pierce decided to join the Washington Wizards, and Garnett was traded to the Minnesota Gray Wolves after the 2014-15 Star Game and returned to his old club.
, and seeing the current Nets, the record is terrible. What's even worse is that they cannot get their No. 1 pick!!! They gave out their three first-round draft picks in the deal with the Celtics three years ago, and this year they missed a chance to win Markle Fultz . If the record in 2018 continues to not improve, the Nets are likely to miss a top five rookie.
And the source of all this must be from Russia, with a nets boss Mikhail Prokorov, who is worth up to $8.9 billion (yes!! Really $8.9 billion), was caused by a truck of wrong choices. So, not every rich boss can lead the team to win the championship. This summer, the Nets also traded important core Lopez in exchange for the second place Russell and the big center from Russia in 2015: Timofe Mozgov . Is this a big rebuild? Now, I can only ask for more blessings~

3. The Los Angeles Lakers failed in 20042013!
2004, in order to save the great shame of being eliminated in the second round of the previous year, the Los Angeles Lakers signed two Hall of Fame star players, Malone and Payton , plus Kobe , and O'Neal.
This super team did not disappoint the outside world at the beginning of the season, and its 18 wins and 3 losses were superior to the entire league!! But in the Lakers' 25th regular season game, sadness happened... Malone injured his ankle. At this time, he was 41 years old. His performance in his return after injury also dropped a lot, from the original average of 20 points to 13 points, but he still helped the Lakers achieve a 14 wins and 4 losses.
But in fact, the wounded soldiers were also one of the important reasons for the failure of F4 that year. It was also in a special period of Kobe's sexual assault case. O'Neal habitually recovered from injuries... and other factors caused only the team led by Payton to remain. It is clear that the F4 regular season is really too long to be combined!
and the team's atmosphere is really bad. With the mutual accusations, the team's morale is inevitably sluggish. But the Lakers still stumbled into the championship game. Why? Remember the 0.4-second final shot that year by Fisher. Then, the Western Conference Championship was missing Cassel , which caused much weaker Minnesota Timberwolves. Various factors made the Lakers enter the championship game that year.
is not that easy to get along with the championship game, and it faces the Detroit Pistons, which also has a strong team. The Lakers were given a big victory in the first game. O'Neal performed well, making 13 of 16 shots, and even 8 of 12 free throws. However, Kobe seemed to have lost his patience. After repeated attempts, he finally made only 10 of 27 shots, which also planted a cause of defeat. The Lakers lost 85-75 in the first game. Although he relied on Kobe's final victory in the second game, the Lakers only won this game in the entire series. In the end, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Galaxy Fleet with a total score of 4-1.
After the combination lost, Malone finally returned to Salt Lake City and announced his retirement as a Utah Jazz player. O'Neal was also traded to the Miami Heat, Payton also switched to Boston. Then he met O'Neal in Miami in 2006 and won the first championship ring in his career. Only Kobe was left to fight alone, and this F4 team officially collapsed.
This super fleet led by D'Antoni has a super perfect start, two MVPs, two best defensive players and one World Championship MVP. I thought it was the beginning of a resurgence of glory, but no one expected it to be at the mercy of others.Originally, he played ordinary, but started with a six-game losing streak in 2013. Then all kinds of unhappiness of the team were reported. The boss Bass lived to be 80 years old due to cancer. The morale of the whole team was sluggish. The bad news was not over yet... ....
On April 13, 2013, in a game between the Lakers and the Warriors, there was originally a normal game, but the spiritual leader Kobe fell three times. The first two times, Kobe tried hard to get up, but on the third time, he ushered in the biggest sports injury in his career, which also caused Black Mamba to suffer from the pain of his life. In a last-minute turn, perhaps because of the previous injury and the second-degree damage caused by the boss's competitive and stubborn personality, Kobe's Achilles tendon was torn and his entire quarterly reimbursed, and Kobe's peak career ended since then.
The Lakers who lack Kobe are like a team that loses motivation. Although they are ahead of the victory after winning against the Houston Rockets in the last game of the season, they still meet the powerful San Antonio Spurs. In the end, they are ruthlessly swept out by the Spurs and stopped in the first round of the playoffs.
Although the super team that tried twice may have failed due to the team atmosphere, and although Kobe, who has been with the team for the longest history, has been constantly pointed out and many things cannot be seen, Kobe still brought five championships to the Zijin Army. Whether you hate him or think O'Neal is more important than him, I think respecting him is necessary because he is Kobe, the eternal Purple Gold leader.

Extra Personal Chapter: James
Why did James mention James? The reason is because he really formed a big group three times (big mistake...) But I have to say that James' luck is really not very good. Strictly speaking, he formed three big groups in his career, namely, he worked briefly with O'Neal for a year in 2009, went to Miami for 2011, and returned to Cleveland in 2015. In particular, he did not win the championship in the first year of cooperation, and did not make it to the championship game in 2009, but he can only blame the East District for a more powerful Boston at that time, so he was eliminated in the second round.
(The picture shows the main lineup of the Cavaliers in 2009, but in fact, there is no Big Z. This beautiful lineup unfortunately meets the powerful Celtics at that time and is eliminated)
That first year after seeing Miami, he met the Dallas Mavericks after entering the championship game. He thought he was sure to win, but he was defeated by the general and lost to the Mavericks inexplicably. To be honest, I personally felt that I underestimated the opponent that time, and James lost too much personal performance, and Dallas' rotation and team playing better than Miami, these reasons seemed reasonable to win. But then James then went to Miami for the remaining three years, and scored in the championship game and won two championship rings until he returned to Cleveland after losing to the Spurs in 2014.
Last seen in 2015, James returned to Cleveland to be a hero. Because of this, the Cavaliers executives also traded the draft No. 1 pick in that year to the Chiminnesota Gray Wolves, and exchanged it for Love , and combined it with the original Irving to form the new three giants. The regular season record is not bad. Although he did not score the first place in the East District, he still ranked second with 53 wins and 29 losses, and then advanced to the championship game. Unfortunately, we met the rising New West Warriors, the Golden State Warriors, and the Warriors also eliminated the Cavaliers and won the championship with a total of 4-2. The Cavaliers' Big Three also won the runner-up in the first year. I can only complain about my poor luck this time, and the Warriors' team's overall performance is better than the Cavaliers, and they also have a great advantage in the bench, so the chance of winning is much higher.
(This one has a good dialogue~~XD)
Overall comment: It is still possible to runner-up
Summary
In fact, there are still many ideas to write, but due to the quality and length of the article, it is impossible to list them one by one.The idea of this article comes from the current situation in the NBA. Everyone wants to win the championship and everyone forms a big group to achieve their goals. This seems to have become a habitual behavior, but there are still some people who are different. That's right, Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers, who took the initiative to make a trade request this summer. Although the situation is not yet determined (come to the Heat!!!XDD), the editor still feels that he has a full GUTS. Although he can live a comfortable life as a second-in-command in a strong team, he still hasn't forgotten his original intention of becoming the boss (although it has something to do with James who may leave next year...) (mistake).
Maybe a super team can bring championships, but it is also possible to bring setbacks.
ps: Maybe this article will have the next episode oh oh oh oh oh
