"We were champions before you came!" It may be that Green's words have taken away Durant, and Durant did not even have time to discuss with Curry when he left the Warriors, and went directly to the Nets. He went to the Nets on his front foot, and then Irving went too. It didn't matter if he did, the Nets immediately became a top favorite team. For a while, the Warriors became the target of everyone,no other reason than to let Go of Durant, and Green was infinitely magnified by that sentence. After 20 years of warriors not making it to the playoffs, Paul said a garbage word to Green: "Don't cry your nose, go beg durant to come back!" ”
It seems that Durant's departure has caused the Warriors to fall to the bottom, and the Warriors have lost not a Durant, but more like a team's strong propellant. But since Durant left the Warriors in 19 years, has Durant won the championship? It seems that the first year spent in injury, the second year stopped in the second round of the playoffs, and now this third year is currently 0-3 behind the Green Army, one foot has fallen outside the playoffs. The Warriors, on the other hand, were in a mess in the first year, failed to make it to the playoffs in the second year, and now in the third year, they are currently leading the Nuggets 3-0, and one foot has been put into the second round of the playoffs.
It seems like the Warriors have eased up, and Durant doesn't seem to have played the nets to get the results he wants. Especially this season, if the Nets are eventually eliminated, then the next thing waiting for the Nets may be a rebuild with Durant as the core. That is to say, it may only be possible, of course, the three years in the Warriors are perhaps the most comfortable three years of Durant's career, of course, this comfort refers to the comfort of the style of the game. In the Warriors, Durant can even throw randomly, casually, because there will not be a lot of pockets aimed at him.
But this round of playoffs against the Green Army, Durant was clipped and assisted by the defense to quickly unbalanced, the Nets have Mills, Curry Jr., Irving, these players with strong outside projection ability, but the Green Army will still pinch Durant, this sense of space can not be pulled out. And think that when he was in the Warriors, no one would choose to pinch Durant and let go of Curry, every time the ball hits a critical moment, the Warriors don't need too many tactics, don't need too many running positions, a Duku block to break everything, Durant played the most relaxed feeling of his career, because it was all singles, all that kind of indiscriminate offense that could be pulled out.
Whether the Warriors were Durant's team or not, it is certain that Durant's three years with the Warriors were the three easiest years of playing. He brought the Warriors two championships, but at the same time he also won two FMVPs, and he achieved the Absolute Peak of the Warriors, but the Warriors in turn achieved his absolute historical status. Now at the Nets, Durant seems to be going through a more difficult situation than in the Thunder era, and it is difficult to say whether he can finally lead the team to a 0-3 counterattack, but it is certain that his career will never meet a team like the Warriors. While the Warriors don't have Durant, it seems they've found a new Durant replacement.
(Durant's playoff career in the Warriors' win rate is 79.2 percent in the Thunder and Nets combined at 53.8 percent.) ）
