Ibaka long, O'Neal wide, Zion you still put that show dunk, Irving soft, Garnett hard, Iguodala really can't....
Presumably, everyone has heard such a passage! Iguodala is now hacked by many people, but at the critical moment, Iguodala makes you feel particularly reliable!
Everyone has heard of the black mamba, the bald mamba, the red mamba, the health mamba... Each one is a special existence. Similarly, Iguodala's coffin mamba will also have a high degree of topicality, and it is a dessert after tea!
Nine years ago, when from the Nuggets to the Warriors, many people felt that it was a very wrong decision to replace Iguodala, who was already 29 years old, with dunk king Richardson and starting interior lineman Berdrins! (Down from 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game to 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists)
However, Iguodala brought 3 championships to the Warriors, breaking the myth of 72 wins and 10 losses created by Jordan in the 95-96 season, and making a huge contribution to the historical status of the Warriors Dynasty and Curry!
It is worth mentioning that in the 14-15 season, Iguodala beat Curry's 26.7+ 6.2 + 5.1 data with an average of 16.3 + 5.8 + 4.0 per game to get the finals MVP.
Many people complained that they should give Curry FMVP, and it was Iguodala who stole Curry's FMVP. But in terms of series trends, in the case of 1-2 behind, Cole used Iguodala's five small reversals to reverse the decline, and Iguodala deserved it!
This FMVP is also the most grassroots FMVP after Bilups, even more grassroots than The One of Bilups!
Curry + Clay + Iguodala + Barnes + Green, this is the original five small!
Iguodala's defense, Iguodala's athleticism, Iguodala's ability to hold the ball and dominate the ball, are all drizzled in this system. So, we always see the Warriors' smooth offense.
Because of the defeat in the 15-16 Finals, because of Barnes' shooting problems, the Warriors introduced KD, forming the Death Five!
Iguodala continued to play his previous role, and the Warriors soon ushered in two consecutive championships, revenge on James and his Cavaliers!
Due to the injuries of Klay and KD in the 19 finals, the Warriors lost the championship and the death five also disintegrated.
Warriors management thought Iguodala was old and traded Iguodala to the Grizzlies, and then traded to the Heat because Iguodala thought the Grizzlies were weak and unwilling to play for the Grizzlies. After the Heat, Iguodala made an important contribution to blocking the alphabet brother, and the 4-1 gentleman swept the alphabet. But the next year, the departure of Crowder, Olynyk and Derrick Jones Jr., the collapse of the Heat's defensive system, the revenge of the alphabet brother, Iguodala came to the Warriors with the veteran base salary, and wanted to retire in the Warriors!
Coincidentally, the Warriors now face Iguodala's old club, the Grizzlies, in the second round after beating the Nuggets 4-2 in the first round. You know, Iguodala's contradiction with Morant and Dillon Brooks is very big!
However, this time, Iguodala will miss several games due to a large neck disease. In part, it's because Iguodala is older, after all, 38!
In fact, in the first round of the game, Iguodala played very badly, only 3 appearances, averaging only 1.3 + 2.3 + 2.3 data per game, shooting less than 20% from the field and 0% from three-point range. When he was on the floor, the team's shooting efficiency dropped by 9.5 percent, and the 100-game game went from 125.4 points to 116.4 points; and the Nuggets, because of his presence, rose from 113.3 points per 100 possessions to 117.9 points, how bad it is!
It can be said that today's five small, in fact, more dependent on Curry + Jordan Pooler + Klay + Wiggins + Green!
Even to a certain extent, using The Little Payton's five small, Little Payton in the series with the Nuggets 8 of 8, reaching a 75% three-point shooting rate, in the G6 even contributed to the winning three-pointer, the defensive end became the best defender on the team's outside line!
And and and and Iguodala really can't do it!
In Cole's five-small system, Iguodala's tactical position is getting weaker and weaker! Mainly because Iguodala is older, defensively and offensively efficient, and the outside shots are gone.
Even, many times when seeing Iguodala's outside position, do not shoot, choose to pass, this is also a performance of no confidence, during the Warriors Dynasty, Iguodala is confident and decisive! In this way, Iguodala's role is even worse than that of the rookie show Kuminga.
Once a small AI, heaven forbid, has the most perfect muscle lines in the NBA, but it is inappropriate to be a home star, as confirmed by the 76ers and nuggets.
But now, as a role player, it's not a championship puzzle anymore, he's the big black hole on the pitch! Perhaps, in the series with the Grizzlies, it is a good thing not to play. After all, the 38-year-old brother really can't find his original self!
Iguodala returned to the Warriors, more of a sentiment, not that the Warriors desperately need him, he really can't come back!
