The league's style of play over the years, the reason why from the previous traditional landing to the current main fast-paced outside projection, the Warriors are definitely one of the "culprits", after Kerr took office, the Warriors' five small lineups have indeed attracted a number of teams to follow suit, but the real team that has really achieved real merit, it seems that there is really no, the most obvious is the Houston Rockets, in order to implement the five small lineups, they even traded the main center Capela who just played the price, and the result was "drawing the tiger is not an anti-dog", The Rockets also completely lost their competitiveness without a big man to protect the penalty area, and after trading Harden last season, they began to rebuild.
The reason why the Warriors have been able to succeed in these years, winning the championship in 5 years and 3 championships, is because they have their own cornerstone splash brothers + dream green, the three of them in the 14-15 season the team did not have Durant at that time, has successfully won the championship trophy, and the following season although it was not able to defend the championship, but also played the best record in the history of the league 73 wins and 9 losses.
Pachuria, one of the warriors' recent champions and current team consultant, talked about the warriors' uniqueness in an interview with the media: "Those teams that want to emulate the Warriors, you stop here, because you don't have Curry, you don't Have Klay, you don't chase dreams, and it's impossible to impose pressure on these players who play like them (Splash Brothers, Dream Chaser). I don't think it's realistic to build a team like the Warriors because you don't have that kind of player, and you have to build the team according to the actual situation, not just imitate others. It is true that Pachulia was not appreciated by everyone because of all kinds of controversial behavior during his time as a player, but aside from a series of objective factors, he is really familiar with this Warriors, and this statement is really reasonable.
To know that like Curry, Clay, dream chasing these players, not every team can have, even if they can not be sought is not exaggerated, splash brothers are originally phenomenal top marksmen, and dream chasing is an extremely rare all-round mini inside line, even if luck can get two good strength pitchers, but dream chasing this type of player, as strong as the current James can not replace, let alone others.
The reason why the Warriors have been able to play the five small lineups to the extreme over the years, the Splash Brothers is indeed the key, but if there is no dream of defense, frame protection and organizational tandem, the Warriors are difficult to maintain a certain competitiveness, this season is the best proof, after the dream is absent because of back injuries, the Warriors also gave up their top position in the West in one fell swoop, and the Sun, the first in the West, is 6.5 wins away.
For example, the Lakers this season, after the absence of thick eyebrows, Vogel will often sacrifice the five small lineups with James as the center, and it is true that he has won a few games, but it is far from being invincible like the Warriors. One of the main reasons is the lack of a player like chasing dreams, although it is better than chasing dreams in terms of attack and organizational tandem, but on the defensive end, Lao Zhan is limited by the increase in age, has long ceased to be brave, there is no defensive support, and it is difficult to win the game with attack alone. So other NBA teams really don't arbitrarily copy the Warriors' five small lineups, but should recognize the reality and think twice.
