157 million in 4 years! 245 million in 5 years! The most disappointing star is the birth of the stars, and the future is yours

The NBA East-West Finals were exciting, and the two peak matches were all over. The specific situation was as follows: the Knicks lost to the Pacers 2-4, and the Timberwolves were swept by the Thunder gentlemen 1-4! The Pacers and Thunder successfully met in the finals, and Sika and Alexander won the MVP of the Eastern Finals and the MVP of the Western Finals respectively, which deserved it! At the same time, the Knicks and the Timberwolves were reluctant to get out, and there were many reasons. In this process, there is one of the most disappointing stars in the east and west, and they still have a long way to go before they are real superstars.

Eastern, the Knicks lost to the Pacers 2-4 and were eliminated in disgrace. The process and result were heartbreaking! In the words of fans, the strength of the Knicks and the Pacers is just the same, and the style is just incompatible. I never expected the Knicks to lose so neatly! In this process, Knicks coach Thibodeau was beaten by the champion coach Carlisle. Towns's characteristics of being strong in offense and weak in defense were caught by his opponents. Anunobi, Bridges and others' output on the offensive end was hard to describe, but there is another star who disappointed the most in the Eastern Conference Finals!

What I want to talk about is Brunson, the star of the Knicks. During the offseason last year, the Knicks made crazy recruits, and Brunson took the initiative to cut his salary and renewed a four-year, $157 million contract with the Knicks, which was moving! Brunson won the Key Mr. Player Award and led the team back to the Eastern Conference Finals after many years, but when he arrived at the Eastern Conference Finals stage, Brunson was a little overwhelmed. After 6 games in the series, Brunson averaged 35.3 minutes per game, accounting for 30.7 points + 2.5 rebounds + 5.7 assists + 4 turnovers per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 34.9% respectively. Especially when facing Nesmith, Brunson was tired and struggled, completely losing the control of the game that the key gentleman should have.

In the West, the Timberwolves were swept by the Thunder gentlemen 1-4 and were eliminated. As expected, the process was in a mess! In the words of fans, the Timberwolves made heavy punches when they beat the Lakers Warriors, but they were timid when they hit the Thunder. Except for G4 winning one game, they almost lost four games. In this process, Randall reopened the mode of Gods and ghosts, and Gobert also became the key military training target of the Thunder Gods. The sixth man, Reed, also played a series that made his value plummet, but there are other stars in the Western Conference Finals!

What I want to talk about is Huazi, the Timberwolves star. After five games in the series, Huazi averaged 37.1 minutes per game, contributed 23 points + 7.4 rebounds + 4.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of only 28.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 68.8%. As the Timberwolves' new wolf king and the three-pointer in the regular season this season, Huazi completely lost himself when facing the defense of the league, which was the first in the league. His attack was too reasonable, but his lethality was greatly reduced, and the effect was not satisfactory! Especially in the last two games of the series, Huazi made 2 of 14 shots from outside the three-point line, which was completely unable to destroy the Thunder's impregnable defense line. Huazi is in the first year of a five-year, super maximum salary contract of US$245 million, with an annual salary of US$42.18 million. He obviously does not lack the domineering and responsibility to turn the tide!

For the Knicks and the Timberwolves, it is a pity that they hate the division finals, which once again confirms a truth: the train runs fast, and it depends on the locomotive! At least from the current situation, Brunson and Huazi do not have the ability to lead the team to further improve! Fortunately, Brunson and Huazi are still very young. Brunson is only 28 years old, in his year of fighting; Huazi is only 23 years old, and his future is unlimited! At the same time, Brunson and Huazi have complete puzzles around them. I believe that temporary failure will allow them to see their shortcomings clearly and return with a stronger attitude! To put it in Duncan's famous saying: Now may be from Alexander Halliburton, but the future is from Brunson Huazi! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
