Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked if Curry's performance was related to Green's return, saying, "As soon as the dream came on, Curry's situation changed. Green and Curry are together, and everything looks and feels a little different. Green's return has made us a better team, made me a better coach, made my teammates better players, made Bob Myers a better general manager, made Jorah Cobb a better boss. ”
Over the past 10 years, the two-man tactics of Green and Curry have been recognized. According to Thompson, it was Curry's ability to score anywhere combined with Green's court vision and passing ability to make them an invincible combination.
"When I'm not on the court, watching the game, I observe some of the things that can help Curry," Green said of Curry, "he's the greatest shooter we've ever seen, but you still need cover, you still need to find him in good positions and make sure he gets good and the easiest shots instead of tough shots." ”
Curry praised Green for knowing how to influence the game without a shot, "Dream Chaser is very good at interpreting tactics, whether it's an offensive organizer or a cover player, he knows how to sacrifice his body, he helps me and Clay open our hearts." ”
Speaking about joining forces with Green again, Thompson said, "I'm also looking forward to future games because we're recasting chemistry and enjoying the process, and every game we're grateful for having each other there." Clay also said that he wanted to win another championship with Curry and Green, "I have confidence in this team to win the championship, the three of us know what to pay for the championship." I'm so competitive that I don't have to doubt us, or think that anyone can beat us, that's impossible. ”
