The mystery of the two-person encirclement list: Antetokounmpo is crushed without any solution, Leonard is stable and fatal, and Thomas is efficient and emerges!

When an attacker who can average 24 points per game is still named "mediocre", why do the league teams still use double teams to "focus on"? What basketball mystery is revealed behind this? Last season, as many as 18.2% of the offensive rounds participated by Cameron Thomas were surrounded by two players, and this proportion dominated the second place in the league, only lagging behind Antetokounmpo, and even surpassing Leonard. Such a huge gap in data comparison is really thought-provoking.

Thomas' social media spoke up full of resentment, and inadvertently opened up a mysterious corner of the league's defensive deployment. He entered the NBA stage in 2021 and performed mediocrely early in his career. The rookies averaged only 8.5 points per game in the year, with a shooting percentage of 39.4%; the following year's data rose slightly to 10.6 points, and the sight slightly climbed to 40.6%. However, last season, he seemed to be reborn, with his stunning performance of 24.0 points per game, and his 43.8% shooting percentage also demonstrated his efficiency.

However, his career honor book is still thin, and major awards such as All-Stars and Best Team are still blank. However, his explosive power of scoring was terrifying. He scored 44 points in a single game and even scored 27 points in a single quarter. This performance made the defender very difficult. His style of playing focuses on strong breakthroughs and accurate mid-range jump shots, and is good at using rhythm changes to tear open the defense line, but his performance on the defensive end is mediocre, which may lower the overall reputation of the outside world. It is no accident that Antetokounmpo can rank first in the league by being double-teamed. After entering the league in 2013, he started as a bench player and gradually entered the ranks of super giants. He averaged 24.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists in his career. His comprehensive data is a model. He won the regular season MVP twice, won the championship once and won the FMVP, and was selected for the best and best defensive team many times.

His physical fitness is perverted. He is 2.11 meters tall but has the speed and agility of defenders. His extremely impactful crushing breakthrough forces the opponent to frequently deploy double defense. Although its outside projection stability is poor and sometimes opponents dare to try single defense, overall, its dominant performance often makes the defender have no other choice.

Leonard's career is written with a legendary chapter. He entered the draft in 2011 and has transformed into a top-level flange runner since the Spurs role player. He averaged 19.2 points per game, scored 6.4 rebounds, and sent 2.8 assists in his career, with a shooting sightseeing of 49.1%, with an outstanding efficiency. He won the championship trophy twice and won the FMVP, was crowned the best defensive player twice, and entered the best and defensive team many times.

Leonard's ball style is as calm as a precision instrument. Its suffocating "death entanglement" makes the attacker frightened, and the stable mid-range jump shot on the offensive end is like an accurate scalpel. Although he was double-teamed by two people a little less than the previous two, it is enough to prove that he is so threatening. The extraordinary ability of the offense and defense makes it a key target for opponents to focus on defense. It is only because of its low-key personality and rarely responds to external comments like Thomas.

Why are these three generals the "favored" for double-teaming? Thomas' sudden explosion caught the opponent off guard, and only two people surrounded him to limit him; Antetokounmpo's absolute dominance, single defense was almost useless; Leonard's stable output and big heart ending ability made the opponent dare not slacken at all.

However, Thomas's resentment is not without reason. When a player can score points continuously and efficiently, he should not be despised. Perhaps the outside world has not yet fully faced its leap forward, and is still scrutinizing it with an old vision. The league's defensive strategy is often the most straightforward recognition of the players' strength. Thomas used his performance on the court to prove that he deserves such a "special courtesy".

The basketball world is so mysterious, and the adjustment of defensive deployment deeply reflects the value of the stars. Thomas' story is still being written. Can he win wide respect with his more amazing performance? Can Antetokounmpo lead the team to the top again? Can Leonard regain his unsolvable state? These suspenses all require time to answer. How do you view the development trajectory of these stars?
