What is the standard configuration of a championship team? In today’s small ball era, I’m afraid that the team will be built on the basis of the Warriors’ team, but the "splash brothers" have faded out of people’s horizons with the advent of injuries. Did you ever know that they were opponents in the 3-point line? Terminator outside.
Recently, the US media posted a picture on social media with the text: "Choose one of these 4 players to be the second master of a championship team." The 4 players are:
Lillard, Owen, Westbrook, Klay Thompson.
So how would you choose? Let's first look at the characteristics of each person.
Lillard:
The Blazers are the star. The double shot in the backcourt formed by him and CJ McCollum is the key to the team’s victory. Cousin Lillard is even more talked about for his super-long three-pointer. This season, averaging 28.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game. Is such a lore regular and "cold-blooded killer" willing to be the second master of the team?
Irving:
Coquettish dribbling, most like to score a layup with a tie rod. In the case of possession of the ball, Owen can bring you an exciting exhibition game. He has only played 20 games this season due to injuries, averaging 27.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. He is undoubtedly the Nets' number one scorer. Is Irving, who can control the ball, score, and hit the key at the last minute, is willing to be a "green leaf"?
Westbrook:
It’s terrifying when it’s calm, and when the brain is hot, the swords are drawn. It’s undeniable that Westbrook is still the top controller of the league today. One of the guards. After Durant left the Thunder to join the Warriors in the 2016~2017 season, Westbrook has played three consecutive three seasons with a triple-double that can "blow for a lifetime" historical data. After transferring to Yao Ming's original team this season, With an average of 27.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game, it is hard to say who is the boss of him or Deng in the team. Let the naturally proud "MVP" Westbrook be the second master? Will he bow his head for the championship?
Klay Thompson:
shoots well, does not stick the ball. His and Curry's excellent outside shooting ability is the cornerstone of the rise of the Warriors dynasty. Clay's breakthrough ability is not that strong, but his defensive ability is outstanding and is also a model of open running shots. In the second position, Clay's height of 2 meters 01 tends to be invincible, and his career average of 41.9% three-pointers per game proves that he is the league's top scorer. Based on Clay's personality, these four selections make Clay the second best position for the championship team.
The key to who is the second master still depends on who is the boss of the team. Recently, the American media "Hoopshype" selected the 20 core players in the NBA today, and the author only lists the top 10:
The first place is Antetokounmpo; the second place is Doncic; the third place is thick eyebrow brother (Davis); the fourth is Jokic; the fifth is Leonard; the sixth is, James, the man of three years old; No. 7, Zion; No. 8, Tatum; No. 9 Lillard; No. 10, Deng Ge.
Who do you value more to be the team boss? But if Clay is the best second-in-command, then the boss of this championship team should have experience and qualifications to match Clay. Is Clay the best second in your mind?
