How does Curry win when he becomes the Iron King? The Warriors lacked two generals but found the key to defending

Curry has gone from being the first shooter in history to the "Iron King," but the Warriors have found a way to win, and without Green and Iguodala, they have found the key to defending.

How does Curry win when he becomes the Iron King? The Warriors lacked two generals but found the key to defending

The Warriors' goal is to play a good defense without Green and Iguodala, which seems unlikely to be achieved. When it comes to having these two players, the Warriors are able to play elite-level defense, and when they're not, that's a different story.

Green has been named to the All-Defensive Team six times and he is also the only defensive player in Warriors history to miss the last eight games due to an intervertebral disc injury. He will be reassessed next week, but Green could be absent for a month or more because the back injury is so sensitive.

Iguodala has been named to the All-Defensive Team twice, he may be one of the most cunning defenders in the NBA, "One Brother" has missed the last two games due to sore left hip, in the first 47 games of the team, he has only played 25 games, the Warriors are not very worried about Ichigo's frequent suspensions, after all, the team planned to reduce his number of appearances at the beginning, hoping that he can help the team in the playoffs, playing 20-25 minutes of playing time each game.

With the two out of the game, the Warriors rely heavily on two players — Kevin Rooney Jr. Gary Payton Jr. — who need to make up for the absence of Green and Iguodala. For now, at least, the two have done an excellent job.

The Warriors' defensive efficiency of 104.2 in the last nine games is third in the league in the same period, during which time Iguodala missed three games, and Green only made a symbolic 8 seconds in Thompson's comeback.

After today's training, Peyton Jr. said: "We just finished some basic training, at any time, everyone needs to communicate with each other, Draymond Green and we exchanged a lot of things, in some games, we lacked communication, but in the last game, everyone did a good job. ”

Rooney is also trying to be a communicator on the defensive end while doing his job, and that's where Green excels. Rooney has gone from being a frequently injured player to the team's Iron Man, and although he doesn't play much, he's the only one on the team who hasn't missed a game.

But for a guy who averaged less than 21 minutes per game, it was hard to ask him to do everything, and Rooney clearly needed help from other strikers, with Wiggins, Porter Jr. and Cumminga all needing to take responsibility on the defensive end.

"Green is not there, we really need to rely on the team's defense." Warriors coach Kerr said, "But in order to play a good team defense, there have to be some good individual defenders coming out, and that's what Payton, Wiggins and Thompson are going to play." I obviously need Wiggins to keep an eye on the most dangerous players on the other side, which is a great role for him, but most teams have more than one player with threats, so Clay also needs to face some difficult alignments, and I think he's obviously perfectly capable. ”

Maybe Thompson can be that great defender again, but not now, after two years of recuperation, the team is also more cautious about his use, and after missing the last game, Thompson is missing today's training.

But for now, the Warriors have found subtle averages on the defensive end, and Stephen Curry's poor shooting has made the team's offense difficult, but in this case, the Warriors have found defensive consistency without Green, which is undoubtedly a big gain, and when the dream returns, Curry returns to normal, they will become stronger.
