Averaging 3.3 points, 4.7 boards and 5 assists per game, the above set of statistics is the last three games of Warriors player Green's average data, these three games Green's performance is obvious to all. Looking at the data, we all understand, and the Warriors have all lost all three games, and the only game green has not played, it seems that this is not a coincidence. Without Curry Green, he can't play anymore, and the Warriors' state is also taking a sharp turn, and today they were defeated by the Hawks. Green's performance was lackluster, he couldn't find his own position, the shooting could not break through and was covered, and the defense and organization did not have the same feeling of arbitrariness as before. Considering Green's current annual salary of $24 million, Green's performance today is really unacceptable. We have to admit: Curry's failure to play had a very big impact on Green.
First of all, Curry's arc top card without playing Green is equivalent to half of it, in the past, when Curry was on the court, he would run a lot of no-ball positions to attract the attention of the other side, and Green could use this to send a pass for Curry. Green's pass was indeed just right, very precise. Curry and Green's duo rotation is also a reserved program for the team, the problem is that now Curry is not there, and the threat of other people's no-ball running is not as big as Curry, and it will take a certain amount of adjustment time after receiving the ball. Opponents also give Green more free blocks when defending, and both shooting threats and pass threats are weakened.
Green has been shooting less than 30% of three-point shooting for 4 consecutive seasons, and the importance of the current NBA three-point shooting is self-evident, and the Warriors have The pressure on Green's inability to project points can be imagined. Green's failure to hit three-pointers will drag the Warriors' offense, and now Curry, the league's first three-point shooter, can't play. The Warriors' space is blocked. The offensive end is getting more and more blocked.
Green can still exert some power on the defensive end, but it is really too hurtful not to attack. Curry's motivation not to play Green also seems to have declined a bit, and his rebounds and assists in these three games are not as much as the season average, and his defensive motivation is not as good as before. Many people say that Green is an indispensable member of the Warriors, and indeed, Green's organization and defense support the team's system, and he is also a player who dares to speak up and inspire the team.
The problem is that Green's limitations are too obvious now, and without Curry Green really don't know how to play. Curry missed most of the season due to injury in the 2019-20 season, and Green's offensive efficiency was dismal that season. The shooting percentage is not even 40%, and the Warriors' record is also the lowest level in the league. Without Curry, the Warriors are uncompetitive among all the teams in the league.
Green has always been a strong player and he will adjust himself. But he must also admit that without Curry he would never have been able to play to where he is today, and would not have achieved so much and the team won three championships. Without Curry, Green would not have been able to play the performance he has today with other teams. Green should cherish the opportunity now, he took tens of millions of annual salary to play in the Warriors to start, in fact, stained Curry's light. A veteran who does not have stable three-point shooting ability and independent offensive ability basically has no living space in the NBA. Green had to try to change.
