Kune zviri nani kana zvakanyanya, uyu ndiwo mubvunzo unonyanya kukosha uyo wese mudzidzisi wevashandi uye hofisi yepamberi ari kuedza kupindura mumutambo wekutanga wemwaka. Zvinhu zvisingatarisirwi zvinoitika mumavhiki maviri ekutanga emwaka, uye kupfuura nakare kose gore rino.
Chekutanga, zviyereso zviri chaizvo zvakatsiga. Nemusi weMuvhuro, The Thunder, Jazz, Spurs and Trail Blazers vaitungamira 18–8; zvitatu pazvikwata zvina izvi zvakatozokundwa naVictor Wimbama. MaPacers ari 3-4 uye wechinomwe muligi mukutadza. Zvichakadaro, vashanu vari kupomerwa vakwikwidzi - the Clippers, Warriors, 76ers, Heat and Nets - vakapihwa 11-22.
Dig deep and the weirdness will only gog. Zvikwata zviviri zvekudzivirira zvakasimba zvemwaka wadarika, Boston neGolden State, zvakapedza 22nd ne23rd, zvichiteerana. Memphis neMiami vari pachinzvimbo chechina nechishanu, zvichiteerana. Mwaka uno vari wechi28 ne20. Ndine urombo, asi kana iwe uchida kuona epamusoro gumi ekudzivirira, iwe unofanirwa kufonera Jazz kana Wizards.
Uyezve, achiri mangwanani. Tiri kutaura nezvemuenzaniso wemitambo mitanhatu yakatambwa nevazhinji vezvikwata izvi. Zvimwe zvinoshamisa zvinogona kuverengerwa kune rombo rakanaka uye mamwe maitiro ekusiyanisa. Semuenzaniso, maNet aive nearombo 1-5 kutanga uye akapedza munzvimbo yekupedzisira pakudzivirira, asi vadzivisi vavo vakapfurawo 43.8 muzana ye3, iyo isingagoneki; Brooklyn ndeyechina pakudzivirira nemapoinzi maviri. Kune rumwe rutivi, kushamisika kwaCharlotte kutanga pasina vaviri vanokosha backcourt vatambi vanogona kunge vakafurirwa neJedi's 3-point defense, iyo yaingova 28.2% kubva ku3-point range.
Nyaya idzi dzakanyanya kutaurwa muGuta reNgirozi, uko Lakers neClippers zvakangoerekana zvatanga mutambo nemhosva mbiri dzakaipisisa dzeligi uye vakatungamira 2-8 pasina kutambisana. Ivo vane hutsinye pamhosva zvekuti ivo mirairo yehukuru hwakaipa kupfuura Nha. 28 Orlando. Iyo Mashiripiti's 107.9 mapoinzi pazana zvinhu iri padyo neavhareji yeligi pane 29th-nzvimbo Clippers '102.2 mapoinzi.
Matambudziko eLakers akawana kutarisisa kwenyika zvakanyanya zvekuti nhamo dzeClippers dzakanyanya kuvavanza kubva kune nyika. Vanogona kuchinja chirevo chavo kuti "Tendai Mwari nokuda kweLakers." Nekudaro, makwikwi maviri eSvondo kunhandare yaimbozivikanwa seStaples Center kwakaratidza kuti matambudziko ekutanga eClippers anogona kunge achishusha sevamwe vavo vekirabhu, sezvo kufa kwavo 112-91 kukavakanda kusvika 2- mana.
Kune zvikwata zviviri izvi, kurwira kwavo kunobva padambudziko guru remasvomhu. Zvirinani maLakers anoziva: ivo vanofanirwa kukora sei kana pasina munhu anogona kupfura akatwasuka? MaLakers akatamba zvakanyanya (yechitatu pakudzivirira!) uye akashandura akawanda akazaruka matatu. Ivo havagone kuzviita - kupfura kubva pamapoinzi matatu kunosetsa 26.6% mwaka uno. Husiku humwe chete, vakawana mapoinzi zana nemakumi maviri nematatu mukukunda kweSvondo paDenver, asi mimwe mibvunzo yakakomba ichiripo. Chikwata ichi pachakapfura 28.6% kubva kuseri kwearc mupreseason, zvaive zvakaoma kuvarasa semusiyano.
Kuchinja kwevaLakers? Nei Russell Westbrook naAnthony Davis vachimutsa tariro muLA izvozvi
Zvichakadaro, moyo wedambudziko reClippers (sekuratidzwa kwatakaitwa naLowe Murray) ndewekuti kana ukasapfura, haugone kukora, uye maClippers ari kukundwa muhondo yekutora nemuganho unoshamisa. Kunyangwe vachitongwa nevarindi, yavo 16.1 muzana yekuchinja iri mumamaira yekupedzisira.
Chikwata chevapfuri vanosvetuka chingapeta sei zvakanyanya? Chinhu chakadai. Iwo madiki Clippers anoisawo 27th mukugumbura kudzokorodza muzana muzana. Saka, pane zana, maClippers ndeekupedzisira mukuedza kwechinangwa chemunda uye yechipiri mukuedza kwekupedzisira kukanda kwemahara; kana ukasarova kudaro, hazvina basa kuti warova chii.
Iwo Clippers anogona pachena anongedza kune kushomeka kwaKawhi Leonard, asi vaive nedambudziko iri gore rapfuura uye hapana kwakaipa.
Huzivi hwese hweClippers hwakavakirwa pachokwadi chekuti vane mapapiro maviri eAll-Star ekutsamira paari uye akawanda emhando dzekuita sarudzo. Kusvika parizvino haisati yatamba. Kanganwa All-Stars: Paul George anga asati ave mutambi wepakati. Norman Powell naReggie Jackson vanowira padivi pake, nekurasikirwa kwakawanda mukutsvaga kusvetuka.
Zvekare, kana chimwe chikwata chikatamba mitambo gumi yakajairwa, ingangove yenguva pfupi mirage. Kana kuti pamwe ndivo mwaka uno. Hatisati taziva.
Ndosaka zvikwata zvakawanda zvakangwara zvichiramba kudanwa kwekuti "oh mwari wangu, ita chimwe chinhu!" ita shanduko huru dzemutsara mumavhiki maviri ekutanga. Isu tinoona kuti maratidziro epateni ari kutanga kuumba, asi hapana ruzivo rwakakwana parizvino.
Muchiitiko ichi, pane zvakare kusashivirira kune zvikwata zviviri izvi zveLos Angeles zvichienderana nekuti nyeredzi yavo yekumberi inogona kupera riini, asi mibvunzo miviri inoda kutanga yapindurwa.
Mubvunzo wekutanga uri pachena ndewekuti: "Tinodei?" Iyo Lakers inogona kupindura neimwe hit, nepo Clippers ingangoda saizi yakakura.
Asi ngatimbofungidzira kuti kusasimba kwakaratidzwa nezvikwata izvi pakutanga kwemwaka iwo matambudziko chaiwo uye haapere. Pane mumwe mubvunzo wakakosha: zvakakosha here kuchengetedza timu iyi?
Kunyanya kuLakers, ndizvo zvichange zvichiitwa nemitambo 15-20 inotevera. Zvinowanzoita runyerekupe rwekuti kutengesa maviri emangwana ekutanga mapikicha uye Russell Westbrook kuenda kuIndiana kwaBuddy Hild naMiles Turner mukana unogoneka wekuwedzera mamwe mapfuti, asi izvo zvichavaita nani?
Hazvisi kana kuti anofambisa museve. Ingori kuti museve unofambiswa kure kure kuruboshwe, uye pamwe hazvina basa. Zvakakodzera here kupisa maviri anogona kutora kuti apedze wechipfumbamwe panzvimbo yegumi nematatu? VaLakers vakagadzirira kutora mishonga yavo mwaka uno, kutanga zhizha nekutora mapikicha uye mubhadharo wakachena, uye kutanga naLeBron James naAnthony Davis? Parizvino, gakava riripo nderokuti kutanga kweLakers kunononoka kunoita kuti kutengeserana kwemaitiro ekuIndiana kuve nyore, asi ndinofunga kuti pane nyaya dzakakwana nekutanga kwavo izvo zvinogona kuderedza mukana wekudzingirira mwaka wa2022-23 mune ramangwana.
(Cherechedza kune avo vakakurudzira zvikwata izvi kuti zvitange: Vese Lakers neClippers vanosungirwa kutengeserana dhizaini kune yakare kutengeserana. Izvi hazvina kuitika.)
Saka ngatimirirei tione. Kwete muLos Angeles chete, asiwo muBrooklyn, Miami, Philadelphia uye Golden State. Pane imwe nguva, zvikwata izvi zvichave nemuenzaniso wakakwana wemitambo kuti utaure pachena kuti kusasimba kwavo kwekutanga idambudziko, uye kana zvakadaro, ivo vachaona kana vosimbisa mutsara wavo kuburikidza nemusika wekutengesa.
Isu hatina. Zvisizvo, mahofisi mazhinji epamberi anoshandisa iyo 20-mutambo chiratidzo secheki chaiyo pavari, paine anenge mwedzi kuenda. Kunyanya muLos Angeles, ichave mavhiki akati wandei ekuunganidza ruzivo.
Kana mwaka uchinge watanga, mazhinji ekuita sarudzo muhofisi yepamberi anoitika kwenguva yakati rebei, asi pane chimwe chinhu chekuita paHalloween.
Iri ndiro zuva rekupedzisira zvikwata zvinokwanisa kutenga sarudzo dzegore rechitatu nerechina pamakondirakiti ekutanga erookie akasainwa muna 2020 na2021. Yakanga iri sarudzo ine hutsinye (ndine hurombo) kuti timu yaifanira kusarudza sarudzo yegore rinotevera gore risati rasvika, iine zvizere. mwaka pakati.
Matimu anobuda pane iyi sarudzo anodzikamisa nhamba yevatambi vavanogona kupa kune vamiririri vemahara (nhamba yesarudzo haigone kudarika), saka kana mutambi aine mwaka wakanaka, iye Gonzo. Panguva imwecheteyo, icharamba iri pane yako yegore rose, izvo zvinogona kukudzivirira kubva pakusiya iyi sarudzo.
Phoenix, semuenzaniso, akaramba mumwe wechitatu wegore ra2020 rotari Jalen Smith mwaka wadarika, akazomutengesera kuIndiana, kwaakapotsa angokona ndokusaina kondirakiti itsva nePacers mwaka wapera.
Nekuda kwekufunga uku uye nenyaya yekuti sarudzo zhinji dzekontrakiti dzakachipa, zvikwata zvinowanzoyedzwa zvakanyanya kuwedzera sarudzo makore. Mutambi ega akarambwa kufamba kwegore rechitatu ndiLeandro Bolmaro weUtah, uyo akanyorwa seakakundwa mukutengesa kwaRudy Gobert uye asiri muzvirongwa zveJazz. (San Antonio akasiyawo 2021 rookie Josh Primo pakupera kwesvondo, asi akange atotenga sarudzo yake yegore rechitatu.)
Nhamba yekugamuchirwa yesarudzo yegore rechina inenge yakakwira, kusanganisira vaviri vandiri kufarira. New Orleans' Kira Lewis Jr. akakuvara uye akakanzura mwaka miviri yekutanga, uye Pelicans ichine $5.7 miriyoni sarudzo kwaari 2023-24 ine zvingangove zveumbozha mutero nyaya. Toronto's Malachi Flynn ari kunetsekawo kuti awane simba, asi anongova nemamiriyoni mazana matatu emadhora emwaka wa2023-24, izvo maRaptors anofunga kuti hazvikuvadze. Detroit yakagamuchira 7.4 miriyoni sarudzo kubva kuna Kylian Hayes asi akange asingadi kunyora yechinomwe yesarudzo muchirongwa cha2020.
Pakupedzisira, sarudzo chete dzakarambwa dzaive Utah's Udoka Azubuike, iyo yechimakumi maviri nenomwe muna 2020, uyo aisatombotamba, uye Orlando's RJ Hampton.
Hampton inoshamisa nekuti Mashiripiti ari kuvakazve, Hampton anongova 21 uye yake $4.2 miriyoni sarudzo gore rinouya haina kunetsa. Nekudaro, Hampton akanetseka mumwaka wake wechipiri wepro (8.5 PER, 48.1 kupfura muzana), uye zvakanyanya kukosha, iyo Mashiripiti inogona kunge isina nzvimbo yakakwana kwaari. Orlando yatove nevatambi gumi nevaviri vakasaina mwaka unotevera uye vachange vaine maviri ekutanga mapikicha uye (pamwe) yekumusoro-yepamusoro-yechipiri-yechipiri sarudzo muna 2023.
(Cherechedza: chikamu chino hachingotsananguri maonero akanaka evhiki nevhiki. Ndiwo chete wandanga ndakatarisa.)
Ndakaenda kuOvertime Elite Pro Day muAtlanta neChipiri, kwatakaona vazhinji vevane 17 uye 18 vane makore vachidzidzisa vana pavana uye vashanu pavashanu pamberi pevanenge vese ma scouts. Zvikwata muligi nevamwe mbuya.
Nepo vatambi vazhinji vasingazokwanise kunyora mugore kana maviri, korona yekorona yeOTE roster mapatya mukoma Amen naAusar Thompson. Vazhinji vanoongorora vanoona Amen Thompson seanogona kutora yechitatu mukunyorwa, nepo Ausar ichionekwa seyepakati kusvika kune yakakwira lottery pick. Vese vari 6-foot-7 vatambi vemberi vanogona kubata bhora uye kudzivirira kubva munzvimbo dzakawanda, zvichigona kuita kuti mumwe nemumwe wavo ave mapiko akatenderedza ayo maGM angarota nezvawo. (Wedu Sam Vesenye anotarisira kuti Amen ave Nha. 3 mugwaro rake rekupedzisira rekuedza uye Ausar kuve Nha. 10.)
Achivaona nemaziso ake, Amen akasimbisa zvose zvakanyorwa - iye mukuru, anotarisana nebhora, anosvetuka zvine utsinye kubva pasi. (Ossar ichiri kupora kubva mukukuvadzwa kwegumbo munguva pfupi yapfuura iyo isina kukanganisa kutamba kwake kana kupfuura, asi yakanyatsokanganisa kupfura kwake musi weChipiri.) Kuputika kweAmeni kwakasimba mukudzivirira kune dunks.
Uyezve, Ameni, kunyanya, ane pfuti chaiyo. Yakanga iri imwe yehutera hwake hukuru, uye hazvisi kuti akabva ava Stephen Curry. Asi kutenderera kwebhora kwakaringana, chimiro chinodzokororwa, uye kunyange kupotsa kutaridzika kwakasimba. Ndakaona vazhinji vane makore 19 vachitaridzika zvakanyanya. Kusvetuka kwaAusar kunoratidzika kunge kuri kuenderera mberi, asi zvakare kunoratidzika kunge kuri pasherufu yekurudyi kana zvichienzaniswa nemaonero andakazviita gore rapfuura.
Pane zvimwe zvinhu zvishoma zvekusarudzira kana iwe uchida chaizvo. Zvose zvinoyera urefu nemaoko mapfupi; mumwe anogonawo kukakavara kuti vose vari vaviri vakanyanya-kurudyi uye vanovimba zvakanyanya pakupedzisa netsoka dzavo mumigwagwa. Vachasvitsawo makumi maviri nehafu pahusiku hwekunyorwa, inova nzira refu yekuenda zvachose. Semuenzaniso, ivo vane gore rakakura kudarika maviri epamusoro rookies, Victor Wimbanyama naScott Henderson.
Zvisinei, ndinofunga maonero angu pamusoro paThompson ane tariro yakawanda kupfuura kubvumirana. Maonero ehunhu nemaitiro avo aive akanaka kwazvo, uye pakanga paine nyaya shoma pakutorwa kwemafirimu. Semuenzaniso, ndingafananidza Ausar Thompson neNew Orleans rookie Dyson Daniels, mukuru zvakaenzana, ane bhora-anobata winger ane simba rekudzivirira, kumashure kwakasimba, uye fickle shot; Daniels akasarudza 8th yakazara mune 2022 dhizaini.
Amen Thompson ane sirin'i yakakwirira, kunyanya kana pfuti yake yagadziriswa. Mutambi mukuru anogona kubata bhora uye kupasa ndiye nhamba inoshuviwa zvakanyanya muligi; kunyange shanduro "inoodza mwoyo" yeThompson ingadai yakave mutambi anokosha zvikuru.
Nyorera kuThe Athletic kuti udzidze zvakawanda nezvevaunofarira vatambi, zvikwata, ligi nemakirabhu. Akaedza kwatiri kwevhiki.
