background introduction
I don't know when it started, "Bao Tuan" became a high-frequency word in NBA news and comments. According to uncertain news and memories from netizens, the word appeared in the summer of 2010...
So what is "group"? After consulting the website, it is probably that two or more people can be called a team. Therefore, in a broad sense, “group” should refer to two or more outstanding players. a team.
What is the definition of an outstanding player? It is difficult to define. Some people think that Ron Artest counts, some people think that Chris Bosh is not counted; some people think that Isaiah Thomas counts, some people think that Paul Gasol is not counted. Let's unify a standard here for the time being: a season before the cooperation, a player who was selected to the All-Star or the best team is called an outstanding player.
According to this standard, there may be some omissions, but overall it is okay.
Specific inventory
Since the 2011-2012 season, according to the above criteria, how many groups have appeared in the NBA? Let’s take a look at the Western Part today. There are 11 regiments from 8 teams, but in the end only 2 regiments successfully won the championship.
biggest group: Warriors 16-17 season formed Curry + Thompson + Green + Durant 's four-star lineup.
In the 15-16 season, Curry was the all-vote MVP + All-Star starter before the cooperation, Durant was the second team + All-Star starter, Thompson was the third team + All-Star substitute, Green was second One defense + All-Star substitute, the lineup is very luxurious. Of course, all of this is due to Durant’s joining. If Durant does not join, then the Warriors’ trident cannot be called a group, because they all grew up from rookies. Although they are a group, they don’t exist. "hug".
This group must win the championship, and finally won two consecutive championships.
The failed middle group: The Lakers formed in the 12-13 season. Anthony + George's three-star lineup. The ending is the same, ending in failure.
In the 11-12 season, Kobe was a second defense + All-Star starter, Howard was a first defense + All-Star starter, and Nash was an All-Star substitute. It is not bad, but it is a pity The team was unable to successfully break in, and Kobe was eventually reimbursed, and the Lakers were swept out of the playoffs.
In the 16-17 season, Westbrook was an MVP+ All-Star substitute, while Anthony and George were both All-Star substitutes.Who would have thought that the basic single-core Westbrook averaged triple-doubles per game + first round tour, plus Anthony and George, also averaged triple-doubles per game and first round tour. So what is the significance of George and Anthony's existence?
The same dual-core with different lives: the Clippers and the Lakers formed in the 19-20 season respectively. Leonard + George, James + Anthony Davis 's dual-core lineup . The difference is that the Lakers won the championship, while the Clippers are still working hard.
In the 18-19 season, Leonard was an All-Star starter + a second defense + FMVP, George was a first team + first defense + All-Star starter, which can be called the NBA's most glorious two strikers, coming together; In the 18-19 season, James was an All-Star starter + a rare three-team, while Anthony Davis was just an All-Star substitute and came together, winning the championship in the first season.
In addition, there is also composed of the Clippers in the 11-12 season. Paul + Griffin combination. Before the cooperation, Paul was a three-line second defense and an All-Star starter; Griffin is an All-Star substitute; the Suns last season's Paul + Booker, a combination of two All-Star substitutes; the Rockets' Harden + Howard combination formed in the 13-14 season are all All-Star substitutes, all three The Rockets formed a Harden + Westbrook combination in the 19-20 season, a first team + a first three team; the Pelicans formed an Anthony Davis + Cousins inside combination; the Spurs formed a Duncan + Aldridge inside combination.
these combinations,All ended in failure.
And it must be said that the season before Paul joined the Rockets was not an All-Star; the season before Howard joined the Lakers, Gasol was not an All-Star either. As for the three thunder young masters, the nature is the same as the three warrior young masters, derived from their own growth, certainly not a group. If there are other omissions, you are welcome to give pointers.
