Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Yang Li's lineup is:

Paul Millsap, Shane Battier, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Sean Livingston.

The "Five of Death" lineup appeared in the playoffs for the first time!

To be more precise, it was the first time that a lineup of five players with a height of around 2 meters appeared.

Although Millsap is only 2 meters, he has the strength and skill to top the inside line.

Battier is a very good forward swingman.

It can not only fight hand-to-hand with power forwards, but also one-on-one with small forwards.

Pickled peppers and Leonard can both play forwards and swingmen.

When playing as a guard, not only does he lose a little bit in speed, but he also has a very obvious advantage in height.

Needless to say, Livingston has a height of 2 meters, but he mainly plays the point guard position.

But at the same time, he can also top the 3rd position and play point forward.

Isn't there such a saying that the development of modern basketball is dominated by five 5-meter swingmen in the end.

This lineup is the ultimate lineup of modern basketball that Yang Li put up. He wants to see what kind of power it will have.

Facts have proved that the power of this lineup...

not so good!

Of course, it's not that this lineup and tactics are not good, but that the players themselves have limited abilities.

If this lineup is pickled peppers and Xiaoka in 19, there must be no solution.

But the current pickled peppers and Xiaoka are still a little immature.

Especially Xiaoka, this is his first season in the league.

Well, the debate about modern basketball has also come out.

In the end, modern basketball is actually about the quality and quantity of stars.

Whichever team has stronger and more stars, whichever team can win the final championship.

In fact, this is not the conclusion of modern basketball.

This has been the way the NBA has been since the beginning.

The Lakers and Celtics duo in the 80s, the Bulls in the 90s, and the Lakers and Spurs in the 10s.

Which team has won multiple championships without a superstar plus at least one active top star?

It's just that the players among them are either cultivated by the team itself or acquired through trading.

Even the Celtics in 07 traded the entire team away in exchange for it.

Belongs to an equivalent exchange.

The only two are not equivalent exchange, one is XXX XXX in 2010, and the other is XX XXX in 2016.

If you can't win the championship without an equal exchange, then it's a bit outrageous.

Like Paul coming to the Lakers at the beginning of this season, the Lakers paid enough chips to exchange Paul back.

Just three of the main players in the team were sent away, and they also got draft picks.

As for the fact that before 2007, there was no "grouping" situation, the main point is not that there are many superstars in the team.

It refers to the situation where there were no three leading stars of their respective teams to play together on the same team.

The meaning of the word "baotuan" has been misused.

It's not that the stars of the three teams play in the same team, it's not called a group at all.

At most, it can only be called the Big Three.

Calculated in this way, there are not many teams that meet the definition of "Baotuan".

But now Yang Li is facing the Lakers team, it must be a "group" team.

After all, Kobe is the star of the Lakers, Gasol was the star of the Grizzlies, and Paul was the star of the Hornets.

This is definitely a "group" team!
