Huyong was swept by a gentleman 1-4 and both were eliminated! The traffic brigade was wiped out, and the era of Zhankuduha was about to come to an end

With the Warriors swept by the Timberwolves, the NBA traffic brigade was wiped out this year, and the league finally ushered in a turning point. The era of young people has arrived, and the older generation of superstars is no longer the peak. The three most accomplished and honored super giants in the current service have all gone home to fish. Let’s take a look at the outcome of those traditional stars this season. Durant, the God of Death, led the Suns to 36 wins and 46 losses to the regular season. In fact, Durant's overall performance in the season was not bad, averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, ranking sixth in the league in scoring average, and his scoring ability is still there. However, the Suns' lineup structure is too deformed. They are all offensive singles players, without inside and without defense. The two All-Star teammates Booker and Bill are not good, and the Suns ended a failed season.

Durant is heading to a more competitive team in order to compete for the championship. He is likely to leave this summer's offseason, and the biggest next player should be the Rockets. During the regular season, Durant made it clear that he was very interested in the Rockets and could find some of the shadow of the youth storm more than ten years ago. The Rockets have also made significant progress this season. They have made it to the top 2 of the Western Conference in the regular season, and have only lacked some experience in the playoffs. If Durant can be obtained, the Rockets' upper limit will also be greatly improved, and there is really a great chance to compete for the championship. The Little Emperor James led the Lakers to get out of the first round of the playoffs 1-4. Why is it said to be an out of the shame? Because the Lakers' playoffs are so poor, and they are so different from the regular season. They are suppressed by the Timberwolves and have no power to fight back. The defense of the whole team is in vain.

So will the Lakers still have any prospects for the championship in the next few years? To be honest, I don’t have much hope. Although they have introduced the new generation of super giant Doncic this year, Doncic’s game pace is slow, relying on positional battles, and defense is also a shortcoming, which is very dependent on specific lineups. When the Mavericks, the Mavericks have many functional role players to help Doncic clean up the mess, but the Lakers do not, especially when Doncic and James are combined, the two's enthusiasm in the game is not guaranteed, and the ceiling will definitely not be too high. If the Lakers still have to stick to their current lineup, they will only focus on selling tickets in the next few seasons. How many years can James play and whether he will retire in Los Angeles is unknown. It is unlikely that Zhan wants to win his fifth championship in his personal career.

Lakers were eliminated in shame 1-4, and the Warriors were also ruthlessly eliminated 1-4. The Warriors have been ups and downs this season. In the first half of the season, Curry was in an extremely sluggish state. The Warriors have always been in the middle and lower reaches of the West, and it is a bit unlucky to enter the playoffs. However, Butler's arrival regained the Warriors, and they won a series of consecutive victories at the end of the season, and won the playoffs through the playoffs. They tied the game in the first round and eliminated the big dark horse Rockets, which allowed the Warriors to see the dawn of championships. However, the reality is still so cruel. The Warriors' strength is still overestimated. Curry was injured, but Butler was unable to bear the heavy responsibility in the playoffs. The Warriors' ending was the same as the Lakers, and they were also swept by the gentleman by the Timberwolves. Butler's image as a tough guy in the playoffs was shattered. In the past two seasons, he has never scored 40+ points in a single game.

There is also a Western Conference traffic team, the Clippers, who were also eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and lost to the Nuggets 3-4. Harden has become the most overrated star in the playoffs. Harden in the regular season is about to dream of returning to his peak, but he was beaten back to his original form in the playoffs. In the words of former teammate Paul George, "Sometimes, he doesn't know whether he should be a scorer or a organizer. Sometimes he may play a bit dull. His talent is both his advantage and a burden. He can do too many things, so sometimes he doesn't know which role he should become in a specific game." As for Leonard, he is very efficient this year, but he also lacks production, and he really can't go back to the season when he single-core Raptors won the championship in 2019, and Xiao Ka still has hidden injuries, which is his biggest problem. Among these old-school superstars, the only one who has not been eliminated is Westbrook, but Westbrook is not very popular now. After all, his ability has indeed declined too seriously in recent years. He is no longer the absolute core of a team like Zhan Kudu. Westbrook also performed amazingly in the playoffs this year, helping the Nuggets finish the game many times at critical moments, but at the same time he also had many old problems, and he still made too many mistakes, failed to make the ball in the air, and made three shots at large open positions. In addition, the Nuggets are now on the edge of the elimination cliff, and the Thunder were won 3-2 to the match point, so it is not that easy to turn the tables. I really don’t know which new king will be born in this playoffs, and will it be Alexander, the Thunder? Edwards, the Gray Wolves? Or is it the more inconspicuous Pacers in the East, or the Knicks? What should you predict?
