The NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals officially ended, G5 returned to the Warriors home, although the Lone Ranger struggled to resist, still tried to narrow the score in the final quarter, but the Warriors still with a stronger overall strength to hold the victory, the whole team 6 people scored in double figures, Klay burst to get 32 points. Although the lone ranger Doncic and Dinwiddie scored 54 points together, the others did not perform well and had no choice but to lose the game.
For the Lone Ranger, this year's playoffs have exceeded the task, not only broke through the first round, but also eliminated the Suns with 64 wins, reaching the Western Conference Finals is actually not expected by the team, and in the next offseason, the Lone Rangers will make reasonable reinforcements to the lineup, and next year's strength will be stronger.
For the Warriors, this moment is really too important, the trough of the past 2 years has made them have been questioned a lot, Curry won the first Western Conference Finals MVP Cup without suspense, his importance to the team does not need to say much, Curry won the first award thanks to the fans, it is no wonder that his popularity is so high, whether on the field or off the field, it is so admirable. Of course, curry will continue to impact the FMVP, and it is indeed a pity that he has not won the championship in the past 3 times. 4-0, 4-1, when the Warriors reached the Finals again, you found out: Durant did take a shortcut
The rise of the Warriors is in the 2014-15 season, when the head coach changed from Jackson to Kerr, they became the strongest team in the league, 67 wins in the regular season and finally won the championship, 2016 went further, the regular season directly broke the record for many years, with 73 wins, but unfortunately the Finals were reversed and lost the championship. But because of this championship, the Warriors had the opportunity to bring in Durant, thus forming a lineup that exceeded the strength of any other team in the league. What was the name of the Warriors among fans at that time? "Cosmos" "NBA Finale".
After Durant came, the Warriors really can say that there are not many, the first year of the playoffs directly 16 wins and 1 loss to win the championship, the second year in the Finals is also 4-0 to win the championship, and Durant has won 2 FMVPs. Many people feel that Durant is the strongest player on that Warriors team, but many more people still feel that his winning gold content is not high. So after the Warriors lost to the Raptors in the 2019 Finals, Durant directly chose to go to the Nets. Some people think that his departure is related to Green's infighting, but then Green revealed that Durant has negotiated with Irving in the regular season.
Durant went to the Nets, apparently to prove that he could succeed without the Warriors. Last year, in the playoffs, the Bucks won consecutive high scores, and even almost staged a seven-point whistle kill, and the offseason Olympic Games led the seven-piece national team to win gold, and the reputation did come up at once, and many media even rated him as the first person in active service. But the Nets performed poorly in the second half, falling directly from the first place in the East to the playoffs, and then being swept by the Green Army 4-0, Durant averaged 26 points per game, shooting less than 40%, playing the second worst playoff performance of his career.
After that, Barkley shelled Durant many times, and said that he only took the Warriors' big hitchhiker, and the driver was not him at all. Now it seems that Barkley is really right, before Durant joined, the Warriors have reached the Finals twice and won the championship. After Durant came, the Warriors did add icing on the cake, after Durant left, what kind of difficulties the Warriors encountered everyone knows, but 2 years to adjust back to the Finals.
It can only be said that Durant joined the Warriors that year, and indeed chose to take shortcuts. If the Warriors win the championship again this year, his psychological pressure will be even greater, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to prove himself.
