How to compare? Irving can only earn the top pick, and Lillard will still enter the Western Conference finals? It's sluggish
Owen has a small sample of leading the team as a big leader, which is also the reason why many people have the impression that Owen is the champion level of leading the team for the big leader. Lillard, on the contrary, is not the champion, and comes in with a big brother belt. Whether or not he left the team has been in Portland to brush up on a lot of playoff resumes. According to what he said, "Lillard leads the team to at least the playoffs", Irving has been in the lottery for two years as a rookie, and the Celtics have been the first star to lead the team to the East One and East Four for two years, and he said in the first sentence that Irving's second-round performance collapsed, which also proves that he has been brought into the second round of the playoffs, which is contradictory.
Irving just entered the league and the Cavaliers didn't have Irving as the core to build a team for him to lead the team, and there was also a West and Irving in the team to grab the ball. Irving led a 15-game winning streak in his first year with the Green Army, which is also a fact that the team reacted well, and then had surgery for Tatum Brown to tie seven. The following year, management thought Tatum was a good target to develop, and Tatum began to play mid-distance singles after studying with Kobe Bryant that year.
But the effect in the first year was not ideal, Brown was only mid-range in the second year, and Rochel on the bench also wanted to brush up the data in his contract year, and the team did not strengthen this year, and at the end of that year, Hayward returned and found that Hayward was not as good as Tatum and Morris. It's just that the young players in the first year were so good that no one wanted to be a supporting role, and it was normal for the team to be unanimous and not produce results.
Irving's defensive enthusiasm is indeed high, and in fact, the role of the second leader is definitely 10,000 times better than what Lillard can do, after all, he can play with or without the ball, and the offensive means are diverse and efficient, to put it bluntly, the compatibility is much higher than Lillard, but I think Irving himself should not want to play for the Bucks.
It's really unclear why Lillard is in a slump at this point, because we are really lacking information on this side of the ocean. It could be a chemistry problem, it could be a locker room atmosphere problem, it could be a personal status problem, or it could be Lillard's own level. It's not that Lillard can't score so many points and score those goals, maybe when Lillard wants to do those transformations, not in a big package, infinitely, but when he wants to integrate into the team smoothly and turn on the high-firepower mode at any time like a switch, it has come to his bottleneck.
In a word, anyone who is optimistic about the Bucks and the Suns does not understand the ball, Beal and Lillard, before the trade, were the kind of players who were strong in offense and weak in defense, unreliable, and now when these two people can't play offensively, the offense is weak and the defense is weak, which is equivalent to spending money and not strengthening, this year's Finals are the Celtics in the East, the West may be one of the Nuggets Wolves, the Clippers Mavericks are also possible, and the Lakers may rely on free throws Sports New season
