Is this NBA team a problem with "Feng Shui"?

Which team has the biggest regression in the NBA this year? Compared with last season, the Suns' regular season winning rate dropped by 15.9 percentage points. Even though the results are indeed disappointing and have the most luxurious lineup in the league, they have stopped in the regular season. However, the Suns are not the team that has the fastest decline. After all, they did not reach the championship level last year. The Mavericks were still playing in the finals last year, but this year they fell in the playoffs. Their regular season winning rate dropped by 14.6 percentage points, which is not too much. The more exaggerated one is the Philadelphia 76ers. Because George's personal performance was not as expected, Embiid was frequently troubled by injuries. The 76ers only scored 24 wins and 58 losses this season, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. Their winning rate is 28 percentage points lower than last year, and they missed the playoffs for the first time in nearly 8 years.

You can believe that the team with the largest regression is not the 76ers, but an unpopular team in the West - the New Orleans Pelicans. Last season, the Pelicans quietly evolved into a dark horse in the Western Conference and entered the playoffs with a regular season record of 49 wins and 33 losses. Although they were swept by the Thunder in the first round, this short playoff journey also allowed the team to see the dawn of a breakthrough. Their lineup was no longer bad at that time, with the starter standing at three All-Star players, Zion, Ingram and McCollum. In order to increase the team's ceiling and further create a championship-level lineup, the Pelicans introduced the second instructor of the Hawks - Dezhangtai Murray, in the offseason last year, and attracted another All-Star player. Murray is one of the best outside defenders in the league. He is tall among the defenders and has won the steal king in 22 years.

Unexpectedly, after upgrading the lineup, the Pelicans suffered a Waterloo record. This season, the Pelicans ended with 21 wins and 61 losses, and finally ranked second from the bottom in the West. They suffered 10 consecutive losses + 11 consecutive losses in the season, with a winning rate of 34.2 percentage points less than last year, and they truly fell from a championship team to a bad team. The biggest reason for his regression was of course affected by injuries. At that time, Murray encountered a fracture in his left hand in the first game of his debut. He tore his Achilles tendon shortly after his return and was reimbursed for the season. Zion's glass man attributes were also activated, and he only played less than half of the game throughout the season. Yingge and CJ also played and stopped. Ingram was traded to the Raptors while playing. McCollum couldn't escape the fate of being abandoned this summer, and the Pelicans just traded him to the Wizards.

The Big Four have left after less than a year of cooperation, and they all said whether the Pelicans have some problems with Feng Shui. Murray said in an interview about his feelings about joining the Pelicans this year: "I encountered a lot of problems. I broke my hand as soon as I came. My mother also had a stroke at that time. My cousin was killed. One of my uncles used medicine overdose. I felt that I didn't get the help I needed in the team. It was really difficult for me to train on time. I was under a lot of pressure and I was very angry and sad every day. Then it was my Achilles tendon to tear it. During that time, I really didn't want to show up. Too many things happened to me. It was crazy." Not only Murray, but many players seemed to have endless difficulties in the Pelicans. Last summer, while exchanging Murray, the Pelicans sent away Daniels - the steal king this season.

Come and hear what Daniels said. After leaving the Pelicans, Daniels did not give his old club any face and said bluntly: "That ball will be cursed, and new things happen every year. I'm very happy that I'm no longer there... I've also suffered ankle injuries four or five times there, and there's something in the water there. Their hamstrings were injured, their knees were injured, and they also had concussions and other things. They have everything there. I don't know why." The Pelicans are rich in "Glass Man", which is no accident. In addition to the current No. 1 pick Zion, Thick Brow and Cousins ​​lived a very painful life here a few years ago, including Paul in the early years of his career (the Pelicans' predecessor, New Orleans Hornets). He also experienced serious injuries, removed his meniscus, and changed from a violent guard who flew and escaped to a purely organized point guard.

There are also Ironman Hart, one of the five donkeys in the Knicks. He averaged playing time in the league this year. He has absolutely no physical fitness. At that time, he played for the Pelicans for three seasons, but his three-year attendance rate was less than 65%. When Murray was traded to the Pelicans last year, Hart joked: "No one is excited about going to New Orleans." Is the Pelicans really metaphysics? Of course, using scientific analysis, most injuries are probably related to the team's hardware not keeping up. The training venues, competition and medical equipment are too backward compared to other teams, and the living environment here seems to be not comfortable enough and the climate is too humid. After seeing off McCollum, the Pelicans welcomed the young defender Poole again. He was once focused on training by the Warriors and had the potential of an All-Star player. I wonder if Poole can make a fortune in the Pelicans again?
