In the second half of the season, the Warriors have reached a level of fan outrage. Everyone doesn't understand why the Warriors have become what they are now. From the beginning of the full staff, the role players super god play, to the main force in the back of the inaccurate, the team injuries frequently. Such a plot is somewhat similar to the last season of the Big Three, but the difference is that the overall performance of the Warriors at that time was not as good as it is now.
Reversed by the Nuggets, lost to the Lone Ranger, lost to the Spurs, and even the magic could not be done. This kind of report card, I really don't know how they are so kind to come up with their hands? As one of the most favored teams in the West before, the Warriors seem to be caught in a strange circle themselves. I couldn't find my way out, and I didn't know how to break the game. The main force has not fully recovered, and the remaining players of the team look at the chicken feathers and really do not know what to do.
In fact, this is the best time for the team to find the hidden pearl, there was a main aura before, and some role players may be limited and have no chance to play. But now it is different, the performance of the main force is not very good, and the overall atmosphere of the team is not very good. If you can express yourself at this time, you can probably change your career. To be honest, this is also the most crucial point for everyone to feel that Wiggins can't take on the leadership of the team, and he can't stand up in time when this morale is low and someone is needed to save the team. It was like this when I was a Timberwolf, and it's still like this when I come to the Warriors. His passable nature is not suitable for a team that is waiting for a waste.
Some people may say that the environment of other teams is not very good now, and with the foundation left behind, the Warriors should still be able to get a playoff spot. There is really no problem with this statement, the Timberwolves and Nuggets still have tough characters to deal with, and for the Warriors, the playoffs do not need to be considered for the time being. But that doesn't make for the Warriors to continue to loosen up, and a team getting a better playoff spot will certainly help the rest of the rankings and player breaks. And if the team falls to the fourth and fifth place, this year's playoffs will certainly be very difficult to play, especially the current Western teams, one by one, are desperately trying to climb up.
What's the Warriors' problem right now? This needs to start with the overall performance of the Warriors. Curry in the second half, is the alternating between injury and state downturn, either there is an injury can not play, or there is a relatively long period of state downturn, and Green before and after the injury, if there is no qualified state of Curry, his performance is very general, can not give the team to achieve positive output, Clay after the return, has not found the right state, the contribution to the game is still relatively limited. Not to mention Wiggins, who has been on vacation since the All-Star Game, losing his stats and status. It's a matter of the team's core squad.
So now the Warriors are very embarrassed, the main players who can decide the key points, there is no intention of adjustment at present. In order to ensure that they can enter the playoffs and get a good place, all the team needs to do is raise their lower limit a little. This improvement is very interesting and requires a more complete supporting role as a basis. Damien Lee, like Poole, Little Payton. Increasing the role of these players in the tactical system can effectively improve the lower limit of the team's tactical system.
But these role players alone are certainly not enough, and how far the team can go in the playoffs needs to see the ceiling! The Warriors' current cap is also simple, Curry and Klay. Klay can return to the level he was before the injury, and the Warriors have one more insurance at the critical moment. The most critical core is whether Curry can achieve MVP-level output after he returns. Curry's performance directly determines the warrior's upper limit. Curry's state is good, Green's performance is good, Clay's pressure is small, and the output will be better, and Wiggins may further improve his normal output because he does not have too much performance pressure. It's something like the butterfly effect that moves the whole body.
From this perspective, we can also roughly understand why the Warriors are a team built on Curry's ability. You could even simply say that in a game without Curry, these players wouldn't play at all. In this environment in the second half of this year, the Warriors could not even find a character who could be used as the second boss, but instead let Pooler take over the position of the first main attacker after Curry, which has to be said to be a bit funny.
Imagine if any team in the league could have such an unreasonable thing? The probability is impossible, because the squad of a team at this level is basically complete. Even if there is a problem with the first core, the second core of the team can immediately take over. For example, Middleton of the Bucks, McCollum, who is now an efficiency pelican, and so on. That's even more true for teams with big doubles. No team's management would put their team in such a dangerous position, and the Warriors once again refreshed everyone's cognition with actions.
Seeing here, some fans may ask, since the Warriors are so dangerous now, and Curry retires one day in the future, how should the Warriors deal with their future development plans? Is it continuing to be messed up? Not really! The Warriors are a rare team that can grasp the present and have future opportunities. Most of these role players that we see now are players with developable talents and are also young. Wiggins, one of the core players of the team, is relatively young, and his future task is to undertake the time when curry trio retired and give young people more time to grow. Poole, Peyton Jr., Damien Lee, these will be the team's hopeful candidates for the future. It has to be said that the Warriors owner is a very ambitious player, and he knows that it is a bit unrealistic to just trade future opportunities for the success of one or two seasons in the present. The current state of the main squad is not big enough for him to make such a big bet. So in the beginning, he had been plotting this. It's certainly good to have this precautionary mindset, but the Warriors' task now is to take advantage of the current season. It is their top priority to let the players find the right way and find a way to get the players back to their form. If you have been fantasizing about the future, it is just a castle in the air.
