On March 28, the league ushered in a strange day. The warriors, Philadelphia, Lakers and Nets all played, but they suffered defeats in their respective games and ushered in a day of collapse and loss.
The Warriors are in a bad shape, and without Curry, they've been in trouble from the start. Although Clay rarely exploded a good personal performance, the shooting efficiency of the whole team was very low. At one point, the Warriors trailed by 18 points, did not lead by more than a second, and eventually suffered a fiasco. However, the Warriors' loss is unbearable, but due to the lack of Curry, it is also the most understandable and acceptable.
The game on the Philadelphia side was carried by Harden. In this powerful showdown, Embiid, Booker and Paul all played at the level they deserved, but Harden's state was very sluggish, and his shooting efficiency could not bear to complain. Although Philadelphia exploded a 10-0 climax in the final quarter, the Suns still withstood the pressure and completed the final at a critical moment, winning an eight-game winning streak.
On his home debut this season, Irving lost his shine. He made 6-of-22 shooting and 1-of-9 three-pointer for 16 points, 2 boards and 11 assists. Irving was inaccurate, Durant was alone, the Hornets fought back in the second half, and won in the key moments, and finally won a thrilling victory. In the key battle to hit the top six in the East, the Nets suffered a defeat, which is a pity.
But it was never the Nets who were more miserable, but the Lakers. In the Lakers' away game against the Pelicans, they won a huge advantage of 20 points in the first half, and the second half actually collapsed dismally, taking only 39 points in the two quarters and being blasted out of the 67-39 attack wave. The Pelicans trailed by 23 points to complete a big comeback, equaling the second-largest reversal point difference in team history.
Regardless of the team's victory or defeat, today's top 4 stars have also ushered in their own milestone moments. Among them, Harden's total regular season assists surpassed Kobe Bryant and rose to 32nd in history; Durant's total regular season score reached 25,298 points, surpassing Reggie Miller and ranking 20th in history; Westbrook's regular season total score surpassed Wade and rose to 31st in the all-time scoring list; James's total regular season score exceeded 37,000 points, becoming the youngest Mr. 37,000 in history; his sports goals reached 13,530, surpassing Malone's 13,528. Rise to second place on the all-time leaderboard.
Obviously, the superstars have each ushered in a tragic moment of mileage. Faced with dismal defeats, these obvious players were eclipsed and depressed. The performance of the Warriors, Philadelphia, Lakers and Nets also indicates that the league has entered a new era.
At the beginning of the season, we thought that these four giants were the champions, but as the playoffs approached, their status and performance were far from meeting expectations. In contrast, teams such as the Suns, Grizzlies, Lone Rangers, Celtics, Heat, Bucks and Bulls are also strongly competitive. In this year's playoffs, there seems to be no team that can be said to be thriving. The era of superstar dominance is coming to an end, and the era of the herd has arrived.
