accompanied the Warriors in winning the championship, which also brought the long 2021-22 season to a successful conclusion. From being full of expectations and not being favored at the beginning of the season, to falling off the altar and turning around at the end of the season. The entire season was filled with too many surprises and surprises, but as the season came to an end, some were happy and some were sad.

Today, we take stock of the eight major players who will settle accounts after this season.

No. 8: City Hero Randall

Randall was selected by the Lakers with the seventh overall pick in the first round of 2014. As a young inside giant, Randall has outstanding physical talent, but he has been unhappy with the Lakers for many years and failed to fulfill his talent.

In the 2020-21 season, Randall was traded to the Knicks by the Pelicans and started a legendary journey in New York. After joining the Knicks, Randall once reached the peak of his career. Not only did he gain a foothold in the paint, he also became the well-deserved leader of the Knicks with his super explosive power and stable shooting ability.

In the regular season last season, Randall averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6 assists per game, shooting 45.6% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range. He was successfully selected into the All-Star lineup, and also led the Knicks to fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and led the Knicks into the playoffs stage after many years. Randall also won the Most Improved Player award last season because of his super personal ability, and was also hailed as the Knicks' city hero .

During the offseason, the Knicks obtained two All-Star-level signings such as Fournier and Walker through transactions in the free market. While the team's foundation remained intact, the overall strength was once again improved..

In the new season, the Knicks are making a comeback, but as the team's biggest contributor last season, Randall's competitive status has experienced ups and downs again. Not only have there been deviations and problems in shooting percentage and scoring selection at critical moments, and even Randall's The mentality also fluctuated, and there was even a locker room conflict with Thibodeau, which put the team in jail..

Randall's sluggish state also caused him to fail to be selected for the Cleveland All-Star lineup. In the middle of the season, the expected bottoming out did not appear. Randall instead failed to recover. He even disappeared at a critical moment and completely ruined the team's entry into the season. After the competition, you will be qualified for .

In the regular season this season, Randall averaged 20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. 41.1% field goal percentage, 30.8% three-point field goal percentage, scoring and shooting percentage are not the same as last season. In just one season, this young man who has just realized his talent has lost his ability due to his overly concerned character and key points. The weakness of always falling off the chain made Randall fall into despair again.

As Randall, who had just signed a contract worth hundreds of millions, he should have gone against the current, but , because of his weird personality and worry about gains and losses, completely lost his peak condition and gave up on himself..

For Randall, who is only 27 years old, he should be in his prime. However, if he cannot focus more on his obsession with chasing leaders, Randall may lose more than he gains, and may even lose his career. will completely lose its peak state.

No. 7: Champion guard Lowry

Lowry was selected by the Grizzlies with the 24th overall pick in the first round of 2006. As a low-ranking counterattack legend, Lowry once relied on his tough body during the Rockets period to reach his peak state and become famous. He was known as the little steel cannon .

In the 2012-13 season, Lowry, who became famous in the Rockets, was sent to the Raptors. The backcourt combination of Lowry and DeRozan became the hottest backcourt double star combination in the league for a time. Lead the team's record to continue to soar .

However, the strength of the regular season still cannot stop the decline of the two core stars in the playoffs. has not been able to go further in the playoffs for many years..

In the 2018-19 season, the Raptors reached a deal with the Spurs. DeRozan swapped clubs with Leonard. Leonard's departure also brought the Raptors back to life. Not only did they continue to be strong in the regular season, they also continued to be strong in the playoffs. , relying on Leonard's super personal ability, the Raptors got through all the way. In the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals, relied on Leonard's two-pointer at the buzzer to defeat the 76ers and advance to the finals..

On the stage of the finals, the Warriors lost two core stars, Durant and Clay . The Warriors' dream of three consecutive championships was ended, and the Raptors also won the first championship in team history. But after winning the championship, Leonard returned to his hometown and the Raptors once again became a mid-to-lower team .

In the 2021-22 season, Lowry, who was at odds with the Raptors, left his old club and was traded to the Heat for 3 years and 85 million in a sign-and-trade. once helped the Heat become a super team in the Eastern Conference. At the end of the regular season Previously, , the top player in the East, was also locked.

But after the playoffs started, Lowry was in a sluggish state and suffered injuries in the game against the Hawks. After coming back in the semifinals against the 76ers, not only was Lowry's personal state in a sluggish state, but every game Lowry played in since the semifinals ended in defeat. On the contrary, without Lowry, the team played better on both offense and defense. With ease and ease. It also made Lowry the team's biggest cancer for a time, and his existence was extremely embarrassing..

In the Eastern Conference finals, in Lowry's comeback game, the Heat won 1-2. In the crucial Tianwang Mountain, Lowry only recorded 1 rebound. Both ends of the offense and defense have become the team's biggest weakness. As a former defensive champion, Lowry is no longer at his peak. His presence not only cannot help the team win, but has become a burden to the team..

In the playoffs, Lowry averaged 7.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. His single-digit performance has completely reduced Lowry to a role player. Such a sluggish performance is completely incompatible with an annual salary of nearly 30 million US dollars. Match, even in the Heat's playoff journey, there is no sense of existence at all. Lowry's sluggish performance has also become the culprit of the failure. This champion was once traded by the Heat at the risk of violating regulations during the offseason. The defender, in just one season, has completely revealed his true colors and has become a dispensable invisible person for the team.

No. 6: The mid-range king who has returned to his peak

DeRozan was selected by the Raptors with the ninth overall pick in the first round of 2009. As a traditional defender, DeRozan at his peak had extremely accurate mid-to-long-range shooting ability. 's backcourt combination of Raptors and Lowry also shocked the league .

However, after failing in the playoffs for many years, the Raptors were also frustrated with the two-star combination. In the 2018-19 season, DeRozan and Leonard exchanged clubs, which led to the Raptors rising again and winning the first championship in team history.

On the other hand, DeRozan did not create miracles under Popovich . As he grew older, DeRozan's competitive status gradually declined and he lost his ability as an All-Star player. The Spurs were unable to recover as a result, and even entering the playoffs became a luxury..

In the 2021-23 season, DeRozan will be a free agent. The mid-range king who has become a quasi-star once expressed his interest in the Los Angeles Lakers, hoping to return to his roots and return to his hometown. But DeRozan's overtures were not heeded by the Lakers. Instead, they signed Westbrook and completely gave up on the mid-range king's overtures .

After being rejected by the Lakers, the frustrated DeRozan went to Chicago and shined again in this city with the god of basketball. DeRozan not only returned to the peak of his personal ability, but also performed as a superstar for a time, and also led Chicago to be promoted from a weak team to a super team .

In the regular season, DeRozan averaged 27.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. All statistics were greatly improved compared to last season. The average of 27.9 points per game also set a new career high for DeRozan. made this down-and-out boy once again Become the league's unbeatable top star .

Although, the Bulls lost to the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs due to injuries and other factors, and came back defeated. But as a superstar who has led the team back to the top after many years, DeRozan has proven his value. From the beginning and middle of the season, he led the Bulls to 9 consecutive victories, completing back-to-back buzzer-beating three-pointers, and then recorded 35+ points in 10 consecutive games, once breaking the record of the basketball god Jordan .

As a top superstar, the Bulls got DeRozan for a three-year price of 81.7 million yuan. is absolutely worth the money. From being disliked by the Spurs and Lakers during the offseason, to letting the Bulls pick up a treasure, DeRozan used his strength to write his own greatness and legend..

Fifth place: Paul, the holy point guard,

Paul was selected by the Hornets with the fourth overall pick in the first round of 2005. As the god of point guards, Paul is also the greatest super point guard after Stockton and Nash . Paul also continued the curse of being a super point guard and eventually became the uncrowned king .

From 2006 to 2010, the combination of Paul and West made the Hornets' record continue to improve. However, in the 2007-08 season, the Hornets were also unstoppable. With a big lead in the semifinals, the Spurs completed a comeback against the wind. The Hornets also failed 3-4. The enemy's spurs spurred him and he returned with a feather. After that, Paul suffered from injuries, and the team also declined.

In 2011, Paul started his Clippers career, and his combination with Griffin stunned the audience, and the city of alley-oops began. However, compared with the gorgeous performance in the regular season, the Clippers' journey to the playoffs has always been hit by obstacles, and they will eventually fail.

In 2017, a frustrated Paul joined the Rockets and joined forces with Harden to form the strongest backcourt combination. They also created a magic ball system for a time, allowing Paul to enter the Western Conference Finals for the first time in his career. But in two seasons, facing the Warriors in the league's finale, the Rockets and Warriors once touched the earth, but they were still unable to break through the Warriors' iron wall. After the end of the 2018-19 season, Paul was traded by the team again due to conflicts in the locker room with Harden. .

In the 2019-20 season, Paul still brought the vulnerable Thunder into the playoffs in Thunder . Even in the playoffs, he did not fall behind in the playoffs against the Rockets with Harden and Westbrook, but the overall strength was insufficient. also left Paul helpless. After a year of dormancy, Paul was traded to Phoenix again.

In the 2020-21 season, Paul went to the Suns and once led the league to the underdog Suns, leading it to become a super strong team. He also led the Suns to the finals that year, which also enabled Paul to enter the finals for the first time in his career. However, due to the ups and downs of mentality, with the Suns holding a huge advantage of 2-0, was overturned by the Bucks 4-0. Paul's first trip to the Finals failed in the first game of .

In the 2021-22 season, the Suns made a comeback and ended the regular season with an absolute advantage, showing the style and strength of a super team. and became the only team with more than 60 wins.

After the playoffs started, the Suns suffered an injury from Booker , but Paul's extremely stable performance became the biggest contributor to the Suns' narrow advancement. In the first round of G6, Paul even scored 14/14. , once again used his precise shooting ability to help the Suns secure victory. continues to strive for the championship and .

As the god of point guards, Paul has countless highlight moments in his career, but for Paul, the championship will be his only obsession, and is also the driving force that supports the 37-year-old Paul to continue fighting.

But when facing the Mavericks in the semifinals, Paul once again showed his old age and completely lost his demeanor as a point guard god. He was paddling almost the whole time, which also caused the Suns to hold two match points at 3-2. , being counterattacked by the young Lone Ranger, G7 Paul was completely lost, showing his old age and sluggishness.

As the god of point guards, the 37-year-old Paul returned from defeat in the finals last season. After destroying all sides in the regular season this season, he suffered another setback in the playoffs and lost consecutively in the playoffs. For Paul and The Suns will be a huge blow. Today's Suns are very similar to the Rockets back then. They also have two guns in the backcourt and have high morale in the regular season. .

However, sudden injuries in the playoffs and the aging Paul's inability to guarantee continued battery life will eventually become the biggest obstacles to the Suns' long-cherished wish to be champions. During the offseason, the Suns are likely to follow the Rockets' example and think about changes when they are poor, and the 37-year-old Paul is also likely to become a victim again and start his wandering career again.

Fourth place: Harden, the almighty god of war who runs for his dream

Harden was selected by the Thunder with the third overall pick in the first round of 2009. As the best sixth man coming off the bench, Harden not only won the regular season MVP with his extraordinary physical talent, sharp organizational skills and precise shooting ability, but also became one of the few dual-purpose players in the league. Bit .

In the 2020-21 season, Harden broke up with the Rockets, and the Rockets traded him. In the end, Harden passed a three-way transaction and left the Rockets where he had played for 8 years. Passing here is not the place where Harden’s dream started, but Harden is here Reached the pinnacle of life .

After leaving the Rockets, Harden teamed up with Durant and Irving to form the Big Three team. The Nets also became famous due to Harden's arrival and became the hottest super team in the league.

The curse of hugging each other for warmth still continues on the Big Three, and injuries have once again become the biggest obstacle to the integration of the Big Three. During the regular season, Durant and Irving were on hiatus one after another, making Harden, the person with the biggest thigh, the biggest thigh. As a result, Harden suffered from hamstring injuries. In the playoffs, Harden suffered from injuries again, and Irving After being stepped down by Antetokounmpo in the semifinals, they entered a truce period. Although Durant's magic weapon came from the sky, it still could not stop the Bucks from moving forward. The Big Three of the Nets lost in the semifinals..

In the new season, the Nets made a comeback, but Irving's truce once again made the two giants physically and mentally exhausted. In the middle of the season, Durant's injury once again became a trigger. When Harden once again faced a single-core team, this state The declining superstar broke out again, and the conflict with Irving in the locker room continued to intensify. Harden once again repeated his old tricks, forcing the Nets management to seek a trade.

Before the trade deadline, Harden completed the buzzer-beating deal and went to Philadelphia to join forces with Embiid . After experiencing a very sweet honeymoon period with the 76ers, Harden's ups and downs were once again exposed.

Embiid has publicly mocked Harden several times because of this, believing that Harden lacks aggressiveness. Conflicts in the locker rooms between the two sides continue to break out. Rivers and Harden also have constant conflicts. It is reported that Harden even suggested 76 The management laid off Rivers and hired his mentor D'Antoni to enable him to return to the top. The conflicts in the 76ers' locker room have never stopped since then. But Harden's arrival has helped the 76ers improve the team's overall strength to a certain extent. It's just slightly different from expected .

After the start of the playoffs, Harden continued to be lost. In the first round against the Raptors in G4 and G5, Harden almost disappeared. It also caused his opponents to chase for two games in a row. almost completed a shocking reversal of .

Facing the Heat in the semifinals, Harden was completely lost in the second half. In the entire series, except for the 19 points scored in the second half of G4, Harden was completely lost in the second half of the rest of the games. 's single-digit score in the half also became the 76ers' The biggest failure of was losing in the semi-finals.

In the playoffs, Harden averaged 18.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists, 40.5% field goal percentage, and 36.8% three-point field goal percentage. All statistics were lower than those in the regular season. 18.6 points was a new low in only 5 years. , the 76ers lost to the Heat 2-4 in the semifinals. After losing in the semifinals for two consecutive years, Embiid once again ridiculed Harden, believing that Harden during the Rockets era is gone forever.

It is reported that in the middle and late season, the 76ers revealed that they hope Harden will reduce his salary and renew his contract. Now, Harden is in such a sluggish state, and the 76ers will naturally not offer a five-year, 270 million contract. For Harden, in addition to executing the final A one-year $47.4 million contract leaves little choice .

After all, this is the only way Harden can delay time, because once Harden reaches his peak form again next season, Harden can still ask for a maximum salary contract. On the contrary, once Harden chooses to cut his salary, there will be no room for maneuver. Harden's shrewdness also allows him to still have a chance to get a maximum salary contract..

As a top superstar, Harden has lost his super scoring ability. As Embiid said, Harden can no longer return to the dual-purpose position he was during the Rockets. It is the wisest choice to temporarily execute the contract for next season. , however, because Harden refused to cut his salary and Embiid once again forced the management, it is reported that the 76ers have started to put Harden on the trade shelf during the offseason. After all, the team still has to consider Enbiid. Beid's long-cherished wish, just like trading Simmons last season, 6 management must take care of Embiid's emotions. In this regard, this unparalleled superstar is likely to start another upset in the offseason. The homeless wandering life .

Third place: Health Brother Wiggins

Wiggins was selected by the Cavaliers with the 1st overall pick in the first round of 2014. As the only No. 1 pick in the league to be traded after the draft, Wiggins has had an unfortunate fate, and his health-preserving style has been questioned and criticized for many years.

In 2020, Wiggins has been with the Timberwolves for many years, but has never been able to fulfill his talent. Due to conflicts with Towns's locker room, he was abandoned by the Timberwolves again. The Timberwolves completed the deal with the Warriors, and Wiggins went to Golden State again. , start a new journey .

In the 2020-21 season, Curry gradually returned to the top and won the scoring title that season. The arrival of Wiggins also injected new strength into the Warriors. The team regained its momentum, but the Warriors failed again in the play-offs. After the 2018-19 season, they missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

In the 2021-22 season, Curry continued his peak form, and Wiggins also relied on his bottoming out ability and talent to help the Warriors complete the counterattack and become a powerful team in the Western Conference. With Klay's return, the Warriors once again returned to their former glory. and glory. Wiggins also began to put down his thermos cup and became an indispensable core player on the team's defensive end. Before the end of the regular season, the Warriors also locked in third place in the Western Conference.

After the start of the playoffs, the Warriors showed their kingly temperament, defeating the Nuggets 4-1 in the first round. Wiggins' defensive contribution was extremely important to the team. In the semifinals, they faced the young Grizzlies. Wiggins also completed the delivery job very well. Although there is still a gap between fully realizing his talent, Wiggins' recovery has greatly improved the Warriors' strength..

Facing the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, Wiggins had constant highlights. From the first game, when the Splash Brothers were feeling down, Wiggins stepped forward, and then in G3, Wiggins won the postseason for the first time in his career. He scored 20+10 on the game stage to help the team get the series match point. 's frequent inside kills not only deterred the huge on the road, but also demonstrated Wiggins' strong physical talent.

Although, as a small forward, Wiggins still cannot compare with Durant, , but in terms of defense and talent, Wiggins is not inferior to Durant. , the chosen son who put down the thermos cup, in the finals On the stage, he also used extremely stable performance to help the Warriors win the O'Brien Cup again after four years and write a legend.

It is reported that Wiggins can sign a large contract of more than 200 million with the Warriors during the offseason. However, because the Warriors need to consider the contracts of players such as Rooney and Poole during the offseason, the huge luxury tax may be The Warriors will be overwhelmed and breathless again, and it will be difficult for the Warriors to give Wiggins a five-year contract.After winning the championship, Wiggins's value has also increased. Many teams have expressed their favor for Wiggins. After all, this extremely stable No. 1 pick will be the team's biggest guarantee for winning the championship. For Wiggins, he will naturally not follow Durant's example and let go of the hard-earned maximum salary. After all, Wiggins has encountered too many ups and downs along the way, so he will naturally not give up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For the Warriors, , will once again be troubled by happiness, but no matter the result, Wiggins has proven his worth through the finals.

Second place: Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown

Brown was selected by the Celtics with the third overall pick in the first round of 2016. As a forward swingman with outstanding physical fitness, Brown once became the hope of the Celtics in the future. With the team focusing on training objects .

However, with the arrival of Tatum and gradually revealing his true qualities as a super scorer, Brown was once squeezed out and his leadership status was gradually lost. seems to have the feeling that is better than better.

In the 2021-22 season, the Celtics welcomed back veteran Horford, and the team regained its past lineup. However, the coaching change caused huge fluctuations in the Celtics' record at the beginning of the season. , became the bottom team in the league. Before the trade deadline, the Celtics management was extremely annoyed with the Celtics' poor record and pinned all their anger on Brown. They even believed that the combination of two top picks was not suitable for the team's long-term development. After Thum was established as an unshakable member of the team, Brown became the team's victim.

Although Tatum's efforts to retain him caused the Celtics to delay the deal with Brown, this may be just a delaying measure. has not changed the Celtics' dislike and dissatisfaction with Brown.

As the game progressed, the Celtics, led by Tatum, gradually got better. Brown also regained his peak competitive state. The team started a point-chasing frenzy. The unstoppable Celtics also began to jumped to the bottom of the Eastern Conference and even ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

After the start of the playoffs, the team was excellent offensively and defensively, successively defeating the Nets, Bucks and Heat. has been continuously tempered and tempered, and after two tiebreakers, it has once again advanced to the finals stage after many years. .

During the Celtics' promotion journey, Brown performed well. This young man with excellent physical fitness was not only extremely fierce on the defensive end, but also frequently sent chasing shots and big hits. The offensive end of has also become the biggest support around Tatum, dragging the team forward .

On the stage of the Finals, Brown not only took the lead on the offensive end, but also helped the team ignite the passion and fire, and shared the pressure for Tatum. On the defensive end, Brown's excellent positioning and strong physical fitness brought huge trouble to the Warriors. Whether he was defending Klay or defending Curry after the rotation, Brown's excellent body caused huge troubles to the Splash Brothers. Troubled with .

G3 In the fourth quarter, during a defensive round, Brown took advantage of his physical strength and flexibility to lock down Curry. did not give Curry any room to make a shot, which also gave the Celtics a big score of 2-1 in the series. Lead the warriors and make immortal achievements .

Throughout the 6 games of the Finals, Brown was more stable compared to Tatum's fluctuations. In the life-and-death battle of G6, Tatum was lost. Brown once tried to save the team on his own. Although he was ultimately outnumbered, Brown Scored a team-high 34 points and became the team's top scorer. It can be said that despite the defeat, was still honored.

As a defensive champion who was disliked by the team at the beginning of the season, Brown not only helped the team advance to the finals through constant training, but also used his own practice to help the Celtics create a greater legend. It is reported that the Celtics wanted to renew the contract of this offensive and defensive player in advance during the offseason, but Brown directly rejected it. It can be seen that this superstar is not what he used to be. Now his value has already risen, and he is no longer the same player. Once upon a time, Wu Xia Amon .

No. 1: Westbrook, the triple-double king who became a passer-by,

Westbrook was selected by the Thunder with the fourth overall pick in the first round of 2008. Westbrook is known for his super physical fitness and lightning speed. As a superstar, Westbrook is also a strange existence.

In the era of small ball, shooting ability was extremely demanding, but in such an environment, with almost no shooting ability, Westbrook relied on his super body to crush the league, and was promoted to superstar .

In the 2016-17 season, Westbrook averaged a historical triple-double of 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game, shocking the league and making Westbrook the first weirdo in history to average such data per game. Westbrook also became famous for this. Big noise .

In the 2019-20 season, Westbrook started his wandering career. However, whether in the Rockets or the Wizards , Westbrook's personal data has always been extremely gorgeous. Although he is suspected of brushing up data, Westbrook does have the ability to brush up data. , the Wizards even broke the record of 181 triple-doubles held by Robertson . became the unprecedented and unprecedented triple-double king .

In the new season, Westbrook was traded by the Wizards to the Lakers. Westbrook also returned to his hometown. The Lakers formed a Big Three team. However, the strength of on paper did not make the Lakers invincible. On the contrary, the Lakers failed to recover .

Westbrook's condition has declined significantly. Not only has his weak shooting ability been exposed again, but with the decline in physical talent, Westbrook's speed and jumping ability are also not as good as before. Westbrook even grasps the opportunity of empty blue. Can't live with .

This season, Westbrook averaged 18.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. All statistics have declined, and the scoring ability has dropped sharply. The average of 18.2 points per game in is also the lowest score in in the past ten years.

Westbrook's sharp decline in status also allowed Vogel to launch strange tactics. At one critical moment, Westbrook was put on the bench, which also made Westbrook the most expensive substitute player .

It is reported that Westbrook has already executed the US$47.1 million contract for next season. After all, for Westbrook, his competitive status has seriously declined. To implement the third highest salary in the league next season, will be the only choice, but this is also true. The facts about Westbrook’s garbage contract .

As a superstar, the 33-year-old Westbrook has suffered a serious decline in status. In just one year, he was once reduced from a superstar to a water cooler manager, and was even disliked by the Lakers. During the offseason, the Lakers will definitely seek trade possibilities. It is very likely that Westbrook and Westbrook will part ways again, and Westbrook will also face the fate of changing four teams in four years..
