Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 928 [Internal strife, veteran]

In the Eastern Conference matchup, the Nets swept the Hornets in the first round and the Hawks in the second round to advance. It went very smoothly. Their lineup completely crushed their opponents.

The Pacers' path to promotion was quite thrilling. They struggled to eliminate the Knicks 4-3 in the first round and defeated the Heat 4-3 in the second round.

It's not that the opponent is very strong, but that the Pacers are weaker than in the regular season and are committing suicide.

In the mid-term, the Pacers traded for Evan Turner and signed former star center Andrew Bynum in the free market. They seemed to be on track to win the championship.

The 26-year-old Bynum was waived mid-season due to conflicts with the Magic. When the Magic signed Bynum in the summer, they thought they had taken advantage and picked up a star at a low price. Unexpectedly, this guy had a mental problem, was lazy in training, and had no ambition.

As his strength grew, Bynum's arrogance and ambition also expanded. "Kobe Bryant hindered my growth." Bynum once described the peak of his career in the 2011-12 season.

Bynum's negative attitude on the defensive end and on the training field has caused headaches for the Lakers coaching staff. Facts have proved that if no one scolds Kobe after leaving him, he is a waste and can't control himself at all.

The Pacers signed Bynum with a $1 million contract. This move was considered to be a double benefit. It could not only increase the depth of the team's lineup, but more importantly, prevent the Nets and Heat from getting strength reinforcements.

After joining the Pacers, Bynum played a total of two games, playing a total of 36 minutes, contributing 23 points and 19 rebounds, which was quite good. After that, Bynum was exempted from the game due to a knee injury.

In the 2011-12 season, Bynum played for the Lakers and averaged 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, both setting career highs. Since leaving the Lakers, Bynum's basketball career has gone downhill. His Pacers career ended miserably, and his NBA career may also be over.

Bynum isn't the worst thing about the Pacers.

In March, the American gossip media reported that the Pacers players had internal strife. The cause turned out to be that George and Hibbert had a threesome in bed with a woman. The two cores clashed and eventually fell out. The conflict between the two directly caused the Pacers' record to drop like a free fall in the second half.

The Pacers, who have been competing with the Nets for first place, have lost 12 of 19 games since March. If they hadn't had a big early lead, they would have been surpassed by the Heat.

The reason was widely reported by the media, and the conflicts within the Pacers team became public. Hibbert blasted his teammates for being selfish in the media, and the target was suspected to be the team's top star Paul George.

As the core of the team,

Paul George only takes 17 shots per game, which can't be called selfish.

David West broke the news that George and Hibbert didn't like each other and the two had completely fallen out.

Before the end of the regular season, the Pacers' internal strife escalated again. It was reported that Lance Stevenson and Evan Turner had fought each other during training. Although the generals denied it, news from team reporter Buckner confirmed that, Conflict between the two generals did exist.

Hibbert is undoubtedly the "culprit" of the Pacers' internal strife. Because he was dissatisfied with too few offensive scenes, he criticized his teammates, which quickly caused an uproar in the industry.

The mentally retarded behavior of "Black Tower" is tantamount to a powerful bomb that exploded in the locker room. The already sensitive and fragile trust between players was instantly wiped out due to self-destructive remarks.

Entering the playoffs, Hibbert won't be playing.

The psychological imbalance caused him to go astray on the court. He still hasn't understood that he is actually not qualified on the defensive end. He cannot prevent defenders from breaking through and pick-and-rolls from beyond the three-point line. He averages only 3.4 rebounds per game in the playoffs. Such a low efficiency for a 218cm center. , is simply an unforgivable transcript.

On the offensive end, Hibbert shot 31% in the first five games and averaged 6.4 shots per game. This is another huge shame for the center. Everyone around the world can see that Hibbert is not a scoring material at all, but he himself has fallen into inner demons, always wanting to prove himself, and falling into a vicious cycle.

It's not that the fans insulted Hibbert, he really became "Gao Yuanyuan".

Because he didn't get much feedback from his teammates, Hibbert began to antagonize the world. In Game 5 of the first round, he publicly applauded Stephenson's mistakes. He received 4 fouls in just 12 minutes and was directly eliminated in the second half. Coach Vogel abandoned it.

Hibbert's days with the Pacers are probably numbered.

In addition to talking about the Pacers, the news always links the Kings to internal strife. James and Wang Jun have refuted the rumors several times to no avail. This is something that fans of other teams love to see.

Some media regard Vucevic as a super center capable of scoring 20+10, saying that it is like James and Wang Jun influencing him to get ahead. After seeing this kind of news too much, Vucevic really wanted to leave the Kings and try his luck in a team where he could be the boss. He was brainwashed.

In the Kings, Vucevic will never be the core of the offense, and he is always scolded on the defensive end. Who doesn't want to play in a happy environment?

After two rounds, the major awards for the regular season were selected.

The Cavaliers' Oladipo was elected the best rookie, averaging only 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, and shooting 41.9%. This is already the most eye-catching performance of this rookie. Only three people averaged more than 10 points per game.

Jazz point guard Trey Burke ranked second, averaging 12.8 points and 5.7 assists per game, while shooting only 38% from the field. This is really a small year for the draft.

The best coach is Popovich. The Spurs are the favorites to win the championship this season and have the first record.

The Most Improved Player was obtained by Suns point guard Dragic, who averaged 20.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 50.5% from the field and 40.8% from the three-point range. After returning to the Suns from the Rockets, he became a star and the core of the team.

The Rockets have become a laughing stock. They have been saying that they don't have a good point guard. They have sent away all the good guards, leaving Stuckey who can't organize.

The best sixth man is Jamal Crawford of the Clippers. The presence of him and Irving gave Bledsoe little chance to play and was forced to switch to the Suns.

The best defensive player was won by Joakim Noah of the Warriors. The Warriors' overall defense has improved to a higher level this season. Noah can not only defend, but also has good support skills. He was selected for the All-Star Game this season.

Both James and Wang Jun were voted out of the All-Defensive Team, and the team averaged the third-worst points allowed per game. There seemed to be nothing to prove that they were good defensively.

Hibbert was named to the All-Defensive Second Team, which is outrageous. A person who can't even protect backcourt rebounds doesn't know where his excellent defense comes from.

The Pacers' really good defender is Ian Mahinmi, who has height, wingspan and moves very quickly.

Chris Paul of the Nets was elected the regular season MVP, relying on the best record in the Eastern Conference and good statistics, averaging 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game, ranking first in the league in assists and steals.

Since entering the league in 2005, Paul has won three assists and six steals, making him selected to the defensive lineup six times.

All-NBA First Team: Paul, Wang Jun, James, Durant, Noah.

Second team: Parker, Harden, Love, Griffin, Aldridge.

Third team: Lillard, Irving, Paul George, Randolph, Al Jefferson.

Most of the best team members are players from the 2005 class, and Wang Jun is already a veteran in the league.
