The 7 most disappointing stars in the first round: Kuzma s reverse giant, Lakers third giant collapsed

The first round of the playoffs this season has come to an end. It can be said that this year's playoffs are still full of highlights. The two teams have also completed the following scores. While focusing on the second round of the game, they can't help but pay attention to the players who performed disappointing in the first round among the teams who were eliminated. Some people have high expectations, but they have become the "culprits" of the team being eliminated. Let's take a look at these 7 players with the most disappointing performance.

1. Wiggins (Heat): The maximum salary has become a "ice shooter"

The Heat, who lost Butler, was swept 4-0 by the Cavaliers. As one of the core of this team, Wiggins suffered a cliff-like decline and received a maximum salary, but he could only average 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.8 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 37.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 70.0%, and even perform worse than some role players.

Average 20+ games in the regular season can support the Heat's offensive system, but hesitation and mistakes in the playoffs directly paralyzed the team's offense. The Cavaliers double-teamed there is no good solution, and there is no ending trick or connecting with opponents, making the Heat the only team in the East to be swept out.

2. Kuzma (Bucks): From bench gangsters to "reverse giants"

When the team exchanged Middleton for Kuzma, the team hoped that he could become a bench gangster, but his disaster-level performance in the first round was a reverse giant, with averaging 5.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 34.3%, shooting percentage of 20.0% from three-pointers, and shooting percentage of 50.0% from free throws. He almost became an opponent's ATM on the defensive end.

Originally hoped that Kuzma could help Antetokounmpo share the pressure and provide firepower support from the outside, but averaged 20 minutes of playing time per game completely became a side effect. In the G4 game, he only scored 3 points for 1 of 6 shots. This is not a big deal for the Bucks fans, as he did not even deserve the basic salary.

3. Pope (Magic): 3D sharpshooter turned into a "blacksmith", the Magic's outside line was completely silent

Former champion 3D Pope joined the Youth Army Magic this year to help their shortcomings, but in the first round, Pope not only did not help the team make up for their shortcomings, but also magnified the shortcomings, averaging 32.6 minutes, 5.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals, with a shooting percentage of 26.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 26.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75.0%, becoming the team's offensive black hole.

The Magic's system still relies heavily on outside shooting. Ban Kairo and Wagner Jr. hit the inside to create space for the outside, but Pope's inaccuracy made the Celtics unscrupulously shrink the inside. In the G2 game, they even made 0 of 6 shots, which is also called 3D. It can be said that this is 3 without players.

4. Bain (Grizzlies): Morant is alone and the second in command is completely lost. Morant's words "There is no opponent in the West" have caused the Grizzlies to ruin the first round in the past two seasons, and this year they were swept by the Thunder. As the team's second scoring point, Bain averaged 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.8 turnovers per game, shooting percentage of 31.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 21.9%, and free throw percentage of 93.3%. The team lost 18.7 points when they were on the court.

Morant himself relies heavily on inside breakthroughs to score points, which requires a lot of inside space. The team's outside needs to stand up to help, but Bain's 21.9% three-point shooting percentage also allows the Thunder to double-team Morant at will. Bain's three-pointer from 2 of 11 shots directly ruined the team's hope of turning around. The 197 million contract renewal in the past five years may become a premium contract.

5. Jaylen Green (Rocket): Fall of a new star? The key battle was completely silent

Rockets were also the final battle to be defeated by the Warriors in 7 games. Jaylen Green's span undoubtedly became the fuse for the team to be eliminated. He averaged 31.6 minutes per game, averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists in the first round, with a shooting percentage of 37.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 31.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%. Except for G1's 38 points, the scores did not exceed 12 points in the other 6 games, and failed to cross doubles in 4 games.

not only struggled on the offensive end, but also frequently missed people on the defensive end, allowing Curry and Pojemsky to score easily. It is obvious that Green is not the real core of the team. Obviously, he is not ready to prove himself in the playoffs, but the Rockets have sent a three-year contract extension, so what else does Green need to do.

6. Powell (Clippers): Invisible in the battle of life and death, the super sixth man became a "pseudo-core"

Powell's performance in the regular season was the best sixth man, but he finally did not help the team cross the first round when he opened high and closed low. In the first round, he averaged 34.0 minutes, 16.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals, with a shooting percentage of 47.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.0%, and a free throw percentage of 77.8%. G7 made 4 of 11 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers.

I originally hoped that Powell would stand up and take over the offense when Harden was targeted and his condition was in a sluggish state, but he was completely targeted by the Nuggets, and was also named by Murray and Braun on the defensive end, becoming the opponent's breakthrough point. Bokobe did not continue his super-god performance in the regular season.

7. Reeves (Lakes): High ball rights are inefficient, the third giant of the Lakers completely collapsed

The Lakers are another team that has been defeated by the following. Reeves' pseudo-giant attributes are also exposed, with the team ranked first in 39.3 minutes per game, but only 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.8 turnovers, shooting percentage is 41.1%, three-point shooting percentage is 31.9%, and free throw shooting percentage is 85.7%. Whenever he is on the court, the Timberwolves' offensive efficiency also soars..

Xiaoli stayed behind the Lakers with a very cost-effective contract this season, becoming the third scoring point outside James and Doncic. However, excessive reliance on singles on the ball has dragged down the team's rhythm. However, some fans said that Xiaoli only earned a lot of money, and this performance is already very good, and he has become the Lakers' scapegoat? So what do you think?
