At the beginning of the season, all kinds of experts and fans in the prediction of the new season format, without exception, will be the Nets as the biggest favorite to win the championship, after all, they have Durant Harden and Irving three giants, but when the game really starts, the nets are very bad, Irving can not play without vaccination, Harden's state is cliff-like, not even the level of ordinary starters, the Nets only Durant, a real superstar, but fortunately, Durant's personal ability is strong enough. Leading the Nets has been at the forefront of the East.
The performance of the Warriors is somewhat beyond the expectations of the fans, under the premise that Klay Thompson has not returned to the team, they once played an offensive performance close to the cosmic bravery period, and now that Klay Thompson is back, the Warriors will become stronger.
The Warriors and nets, who are also two of the most interesting teams this season, both have superstars and have the ability to win championships. However, these two teams are also very different, where are their differences?
The Warriors' current roster has reached its full potential
The Warriors' current record is 29 wins and 9 losses, second only to the First Place Suns in the West, and Curry, although his recent state has declined slightly, can not deny his overall performance. Curry is the best three-point shooter in history, and without one, he also has a good quality, that is, very selfless, Curry is willing to sacrifice his personal data for the team's victory. The Warriors' current main player in the second position, Poole, is only the first round of the 28th show, and Payton Jr. was once a wandering league, with no ball to play, but, around Curry, both of them played an absolutely over-the-top performance. Poole can shoot suddenly, smart and courageous, choose calm and wise at key moments, Payton Jr. defends desperately, and steals have the magical characteristics of stimulating the blood of teammates, injecting a priceless spiritual wealth into the Warriors.
A large part of the reason why the two of them are so good is due to the team boss Curry. Curry is always actively running, interspersing cover back and forth, tearing the opponent's defensive space, making his teammates more comfortable, at the same time, Curry never slacks on the defensive end because he is a superstar, he is fully focused on every attack of the opponent, and does his best to put pressure on the opponent. Curry also often rushed to the inside to fight a group of big centers, whether he could successfully grab the rebound in the end, which was a huge boost to the Morale of the Warriors.
Wiggins, who has always been said to be playing health basketball, has gradually regained the domineering spirit of the past in the Warriors, becoming the team's front-line defensive gate, and often staged the domineering chop at the top five ball level, and this year is very promising to be selected for the all-Star team for the first time in his career.
So many players have played a super level of performance around Curry, which is definitely not accidental, highlighting Curry's greatness, but it also shows that the Warriors' lineup potential has basically been developed, and before Thompson returns, it is difficult for the Warriors to have a big improvement in offensive and defensive levels, and the talent of the players determines this.
The Nets Harden and Irving will determine the team cap
The Nets certainly don't have as good a record as the Warriors, and in direct conversation, they also collapsed against the Warriors. However, don't forget, this is in the case of Durant alone to play the strength, Harden in the previous period of time is completely dragging oil bottles, the offense can not be attacked, the defense can not be defended, Irving is not out of the game, in such a bad situation, Durant still led the team to stabilize in the second place in the East, which fully reflects the Nets' fault tolerance. Harden's performance can not be so bad forever, Durant triggered the league's health and safety agreement, Harden led the team to stabilize the record, with the average of 30 + 10 per game data to tell everyone that he still maintains the residual heat of the MVP period, his state is slowly recovering, even if he really has a hard time catching up with the self who was once pinned high hopes, but as long as he slowly adjusts, he can still become a qualified team core in a short period of time, which will undoubtedly greatly alleviate Durant's pressure.
Irving has now been allowed to play in the Nets away games, Irving's combination of ball and undifferentiated singles level will provide strong fire support for the Nets, Irving's big heart also allows the Nets to have a hard solution point at key moments, if Harden and Irving can play eighty percent of the level, plus Durant's historical level of scoring ability, then the Nets are the most perverted team in the league today.
The Warriors' lower limit is stable, and the net limit is incalculable
Warriors this kind of team, play the whole, play pass cut, have a positive team atmosphere, and Curry such a superstar, as long as there is no major injury, they are particularly stable, basically will not have a cold situation, such a stable lower limit, but also to ensure that they will enter the playoffs with the top two results in the West, as for the Warriors can play to what extent, but also depends on the state after Thompson's return. The Nets are not as stable as the Warriors, but their upper limit is higher than any team in the league, especially in the playoffs, that will be the stage for superstars, Harden even if he pulls his crotch again, he is also a superstar who has won the MVP, Irving has proved himself in the Finals, the Nets' attack power will be very terrifying, their upper limit is immeasurable, this is the biggest difference between the Warriors and the Nets, a lower limit is terrible, a ceiling is beyond imagination.
Of course, no one can predict what the outcome of this season will be, especially in the bayonet playoffs, anything can happen, a ball will determine the outcome of a game or even a series, the format of the game is often unpredictable, and this is the most attractive place of competitive sports, everything is possible.
I hope Thompson will get back in shape as soon as possible, I hope harden and Irving will adjust their respective situations and play the purest basketball, and hope that Curry and Durant will stay healthy and provide the most wonderful duel for fans!
