Ugly 15 defeats in a row, Desperate 18 defeats in a row! Spending a lot of money but crazy rotten, you might as well disband as soon as possible

With the aging of James, Durant, and Curry's legendary superstars, the NBA has entered an era of competition in the past few years, especially this season, the Timberwolves have risen rapidly under the leadership of champion Edwards, and their defensive efficiency has occupied the first place in the league for a long time; Facts have proved that if you want to play well, the first step is to stock up on enough talent, and secondly, to start from the defensive end, these three dark horses are not short of high-quality forward blue-collar workers, including the growth trajectory of the Rockets this season, Brooks, Holiday and other veterans have grown rapidly with young people.

Including some championship-level teams, they are also very concerned about cultivating young people to succeed. The Nuggets let go of Bruce Brown and Jeff Green in the offseason, just to give more room for the growth of young people such as Strauser and Watson on the bench; the Lakers are also over-young to the lineup, Hayes, Prince, Reddish including Christie and others are stable rotations; even if the Warriors insist on the meritorious basketball model, it is impossible for Kerr not to see the growth of Moody and Kuminga! And the Clippers are the most terrifying, in order to get Harden and not give up Mann, they sent away all the blue-collar characters on the front line, even if Xiaoka and George do the dirty work, they must retain some future flames. But only talented young people, is it enough? Ugly 15 consecutive defeats, desperate 18 consecutive defeats, spending huge sums of money but crazy messing, you should all disband!

Starting from the Spurs, the record since the start of the season is 3-17, and the last time the Spurs won was back in early November, when they beat the Suns twice, and in addition, they beat the Rockets at the beginning of the season, and they won these two opponents. Wembanyama was praised by the media as "the most talented champion in NBA history", averaging 19 points, 10 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and his combination of height + arm span + technology does make people see the characteristics of leading the Spurs to glory in the future, but in his first year in the league, the biggest shortcoming is that he does not have a prominent point. has a certain projection ability, but the 27% three-point shooting rate is not flattering; has no confrontation ability, Wei Shao can push Wembanyama back again and again; can't handle the bag, the quality of blocking and dismantling is very poor, and most importantly, he doesn't have a stable offensive killer feature, is it a throw-off or a back-to-back single, or a mid-range?

This summer, the Spurs and Popovich reached a five-year contract extension totaling more than $80 million, which is the highest level of contract for an NBA coach. But the Spurs led by Popovich this season just make people feel very ugly, the starting battle between Vassell and Sochan has no result, and the two take turns to try and make mistakes; Johnson as the first scorer of the Spurs in the past, because of Wembanyama, he was diluted the ball, but Wembanyama himself couldn't digest so much ball, so the Spurs fought separately, singles were accompanied by increased turnovers, and the offensive and defensive efficiency was the bottom three in the league! In fact, it can be seen from the contract given to Popovich that the Spurs are not short of money, and they could have been like the Rockets, looking for a few experienced veterans to grow up with young people, such as Brogton, such as Gwee or Brooks, but they were all handed over.

If the Spurs' game feels ugly, the Pistons at the bottom of the East can only be desperate. 2-19 since the start of the game, the latest wave of 18 consecutive defeats! Their team building framework is very similar to the rising Magic, led by the champion Cunningham, but averaged 22 points and 7.4 assists per game, as well as a league-high 4.4 turnovers. As a big core with the ball, his static talent is very good, but he can't run, he can't jump high, he makes a lot of mistakes with the ball, and the two-point shooting rate is only 41.6%+34.4%! The rookie in the same grade, the Cavaliers Mobley has grown into one of the top forwards, Barnes has become the core of the Raptors, Keady is the main control point of the Thunder, Kuminga can grow rapidly in the Warriors, Shen Jing is known as Jokic's successor, and what about Cunningham?

In addition, Duren is the 13th pick in the first round in '22, Ivey is the 5th pick in the first round in '22, Bagley is the first pick in '18, Hayes is the 7th pick in the first round in '20, Wiseman is the 20-year leader, Knox is the 9th pick in the first round in '18, and Osar Thompson is the 5th pick in the first round this summer. The key is that they signed Monty as the coach with a six-year, $78.5 million contract (like Popovich, they are the highest paid NBA coaches), but they are unwilling to find an old future to bring young people, and Bogda, the oldest player on the team, is still plagued by injuries, and the whole team is like a fly without a head.

The two highest-paid coaches in the entire league led the team to the worst results. There has always been no shortage of talented young people in this league, and any player who can gain a foothold in the NBA, give him time, can play gorgeous statistics, and Reese, who once played for the CBA Qingdao team, can now gain a foothold in the Trail Blazers. However, it is impossible to achieve results simply by relying on talent, and it is necessary to have a correct defensive attitude and a veteran to lead the team! The foundation of the Thunder's success is also the result of Paul bringing Alexander by hand. As for the Spurs and Pistons, it is really better to disband as soon as possible.
