NBA Regular Season 2021: Surprise and Disappointment of Teams and Players
The 2021 NBA regular season has ended. This season is full of fierce competition and incredible performance. Let's sum up and evaluate which teams and players have brought us surprises and which have disappointed us.
Surprise team: New York Knicks
As a team with poor performance in the past few seasons, the New York Knicks showed surprising strength in the 2021 regular season. They ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 47-25, and successfully entered the playoffs. This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for a team that has been in the low ebb for a long time. The defense of the Knicks was excellent. Their players showed their tenacity and fighting spirit on the court, bringing countless surprises to the fans.
Disappointed team: Boston Celtics
Boston Celtics has always been regarded as one of the strong teams in the Eastern Conference. However, in the 2021 regular season, their performance was disappointing. Celtics ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with a record of 36 wins and 36 losses, barely entering the playoffs. The disharmony and injury problems within the team have been puzzling them, resulting in their inability to play their due strength. For the team and fans, this is undoubtedly a disappointing season.
Surprise player: Julius Randall
Julius Randall of the New York Knicks showed a remarkable performance in the 2021 regular season. He became the core player of the team with 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game. Randall's comprehensive development and leadership made people admire him, and he became a key figure in the reconstruction of the Knicks.
Disappointed player: Ben Simmons
Ben Simmons of Philadelphia 76ers is disappointing in the 2021 regular season. His low efficiency on the offensive end and his lack of confidence in free throws have become the shortcomings of the team. Ben Simmons' offensive ability has not been significantly improved, which disappointed the team and fans. He needs to re-examine his style of play to give full play to his potential.
summary
The 2021 NBA regular season has brought us many surprises and disappointments. The breakthrough of the New York Knicks and the outstanding performance of Julius Randall let people see the hope and potential. However, the Boston Celtics' downturn and Ben Simmons' disappointing performance also brought a heavy blow to the fans. Whether surprise or disappointment, these are unpredictable parts of sports events. It is this uncertainty that makes us full of love and expectation for basketball.
