These are the best times and the worst times.
The Warriors pioneered the "Death Five" and interpreted the "running and bombing style" to the extreme, becoming the leader of the small ball era.
Since the 2019 NBA Finals disappointment, the Warriors have never reached the top and have never left the term "full of injuries."
For the Warriors, this season can be described as a high and low, once expected to hit the league first, but in the face of injury they still lost.
From the heartfelt Thompson finally returning, to Green's long injury suspension, and finally it was difficult to lead the team forward at the same time as Curry's trio.
No, Curry was injured not long ago, probably the kind that was left injured until the playoffs, plus Wiseman, who has been absent for a long time, has not yet returned.
The injury wave to describe the Warriors' player injuries are relatively mild, and to be more serious, it is not too much to say that this team has been hit by injuries.
From the 2019 NBA Finals to the impact of the three consecutive championship failures, the Warriors seem to have an injury "magic" and will lose to the injury for no reason.
2019 is a perfect time for the team to achieve three consecutive championships, on the one hand, with the experience of winning the first two championships, on the other hand, the Finals opponent is replaced by the novice Raptors.
In fact, in the case of Durant's return to support, the team still failed to overcome the problem of injury, first Durant season reimbursement, and then Thompson also suffered a serious injury from season reimbursement.
I didn't think about the root cause of that frustration, the injury, which was just the beginning, and has been following the Warriors until now.
The Warriors in the 2019-2020 season, under the leadership of Curry and Green, have average results, and more importantly, Curry has determined the season reimbursement due to injury early.
By the time the Warriors were close to returning to the playoffs last season, Curry and Green missed Thompson immensely.
It's just that the pitcher suffered another season-reimbursable level injury after a serious injury in 2019, and he was too long out.
Counting Thompson's absence, his two teammates, Curry and Green, waited more than a thousand days and nights.
By this season, the Warriors had played a "all-out" state, plus Thompson's comeback was imminent.
There is a very simple assumption that the Warriors, who were out of Thompson at the time, could play close to the level of the first record in the West, and if the three-point king returned, even if he had experienced two major injuries, it would help the team go further.
Just waiting for Thompson's return, Green was injured again, and the latter was not lightly injured.
Green has only played four games this year, the last two plus two at the beginning of the year, and this state has always made the team in a run-in state.
His importance lies in the revitalization of the whole team, especially the core axis roles at both ends of the attack and defense, which is not directly reflected in the data.
While Curry and Thompson are trying to get back to the "Splash Brothers" status, it is a pity that Green has not been able to "fit in" due to injury absence.
Since Thompson retired from the 2019 NBA Finals, the three have played just one game at the same time.
In a previous game between the Warriors and the Celtics, Curry was crushed to the left foot by the opposing player and had to go back to the locker room...
After the game, he was diagnosed with a sprain of the ligament in his left foot, which was a blessing in disguise.
At that time, the picture of him being pressed to the left foot by Smart and then returning to the locker room and not returning, I don't know how many Curry and Warriors fans are worried.
As long as any fan who knows Curry knows, he must know Curry's injury history, and he was once given the title of "Glass Man".
Such injuries have forced him and his team to be cautious and cautious, and the most optimistic time to return is in the first round of the playoffs.
But his role in the Warriors can not be replaced, the threat on the offensive end alone is obvious, coupled with the run-in with the two main players it will take a certain amount of time, but now he has to press the "pause button".
Curry's injury left the Warriors injured again, and Wiseman's return date was undecided, leaving the team "scaly and bruised."
Since the big man underwent surgery for a meniscus tear, it seems that as soon as there is a high-intensity confrontation, there will be a physical discomfort reaction.
The team naturally wants to be cautious, after all, he is still young, but the "old people" of the team can't afford to wait.
Curry recently celebrated his 34th birthday, and they all wanted to win the championship again, and Wiseman was seen as the hope of consolidating the Warriors' forward line.
One is the absolute core of the team, and the other is the complementer of the team's shortcomings, but now both of them are injured and do not have a clear comeback time.
Thompson was injured, Curry was injured, and then Green was injured, and it was difficult to get together three people to lead the team at the same time, and Curry was injured again.
From 2019 to 2020, to last year, and finally to the current Warriors lineup, there are really very few times when it seems to be complete.
Unable to avoid the topic of injury, many people will think of the Warriors in previous years, almost every year to play the NBA Finals, caused by excessive consumption of players.
Years of fighting to the NBA championship battle will indeed make the Warriors play a little tired.
But the advantages of injury management, this team has also had.
With a succession of injuries to key players, the Warriors are also struggling with injuries.
To be honest, the team can play the result of today, in fact, it is really very good.
Now in the Western Landscape, the Warriors can rush and may go further.
But the injury management of this piece, so that the Warriors currently can not put together a complete lineup, if you do not manage this piece, I am afraid that I can not return to the peak.
I don't know when this team will be able to overcome injuries, and I miss that era immensely...
