This season, the Warriors' regular season has been plagued by contradictions and controversies between Chase Dream and Poole, on the one hand, the veteran game representing the merits of the four championships, and on the other hand, the young heroes representing the future of the team.
Dreaming smartly, successfully escalating their contract issues to Curry and Poole, the team wins between the present and the future.
When you are powerless to turn over on something, the best way to do this is to muddy the water and try to see if you can turn it against the wind.
After all, he had already succeeded once in 2019.
Many people support dreams and dislike Poole, not because they like this rough man who has brought countless troubles to the team in recent years, was smashed by the Celtics in the finals, and still has the mind to live broadcast the "second spring of career", but nostalgic for Curry, nostalgia for Klay, and nostalgia for the invincible years of four years and three crowns.
Chase Dream is just a participant, but dresses himself up as a master.
It looks like he's going to succeed soon, regardless of this year's record, because of the internal atmosphere of the team, out of the horribly high luxury tax, out of the pressure of outside public opinion.
The team had to choose between Poole and the veterans, and because of Curry's support, the probability of leaving was Poole.
However, today's kick on Sabonis has broken everything he has carefully constructed,
Not only did the warriors' previous efforts to catch up come to naught,
It also caused the team to suffer a dilemma of 0-2 down for the first time since 2014.
At the same time, it also reminded countless fans of his many bad deeds with the Warriors over the years.
This in itself is a highly competitive playoffs,
This series has a very high level of confrontation from the first game,
Not to mention that it was indeed the little Sabonisla who came first,
If Chase Dream only takes the first kick he steps on, it can even be said that he is the victim, and Xiao Sa should be sentenced to a foul (in fact, the referee later gave the king a technical foul).
But his subsequent joint movements, jumping on one foot made his 200 pounds + weight all press on the abdomen of little Sabonis with his right foot as a medium,
It is the roughest and most damaging foul in the NBA's nearly decade-long history.
People with a little sports common sense know that if this causes a rib fracture, it is likely to pierce the lung lobes of Xiaosa, and then even life-threatening.
Within the scale that the team can bear, chasing dreams to irritate and even solve opponents with rough movements can be said to be an essential element in the Warriors' glorious journey, and victims include but are not limited to:
Almost changed from Aquaman to Adams of the Queen of the Sea
Give eye medicine to James, Mr. Joe, and Harden three MVPs,
A hug against Brandon Clark last season.
and "headshots" of Herbert Jones this season
The Warriors have won four championships in the last eight seasons and are undoubtedly the most successful team in recent years, but the notoriety of their "Golden State Wushu Team" has always existed, and the pursuit of dreams accounts for most of the credit.
Especially as he gets older, his original foot movement and physical confrontation ability have decreased year by year, and in the face of increasingly flying and strong opponents, the 33-year-old dream chaser has become accustomed to "feet are not enough, hands come together." ”
But over the years, his contribution to the warriors has increasingly degraded from the behind-the-scenes heroes who do dirty work and black work to the clamouring and unprofessional drag bottles.
Taking this game as an example, facing Sabonis, a young man who is seven years younger and 13 centimeters taller, Chase Dream and Looney combined can't bear it. Coupled with the Warriors' current outside defense, they can't stop the galloping Fox and Monk.
Before Dream Second Malicious was sent off the court, the stats were 8 points, 4 boards, 5 assists and 5 fouls.
He and Looney combined for just 14 points and 11 boards, while Sam alone had 24 points and 9 boards. Even if the last game said that Xiaosa was limited, he played 12 points and 16 boards, and the two of them only had 12 points and 18 boards.
He's important to the Warriors, but not because he's good, but because there's really no one on the team.
The Warriors and general manager Miles, who are paying the price for not filling the right interior line before the offseason and trade deadlines, have to be "kidnapped" by Dreams at this time.
Of course, now that Dream Chase has screwed everything up, allowing the Warriors to return to Golden State with a 0-2 scoreline, it's good if they can turn around and advance, and if they are really defeated by their own king in the first round, then embarrassment is still to come.
The NBA's official collective bargaining agreement with players will be implemented next season (2023-24), and the latest revelations about "secondary hard hats" include:
1. Teams that exceed two hard caps in the current year will be locked in the first round after seven years and cannot be traded
2. If you exceed the second hard cap twice in the next four years, the first round after the above seven years will automatically become the end of the first round.
Both Dream Chase and Klay will have their contracts expire in the 23-24 season, and both are pursuing early contract extensions.
Klay's final year is a no-team and player option, but Dreams is the right to jump out of his final year of $27.6 million contract at the end of the season.
The countless resumption and hints of chasing dreams this season are nothing more than hoping that management will realize his importance, and even pull out LeBron James and the Lakers to indirectly threaten the Warriors, once the multi-year "horse boy" leaves Curry to join LeBron, no matter how good-tempered his face is, he can't hang on his face.
Of course, maybe Curry has had enough of dreaming this time.
If it weren't for the tacit understanding of the two on the court,
If it weren't for the deep friendship of the off-site Audio-Technica,
Maybe the dream chasing in 2019 will be opened.
But now along the way, perhaps in Curry's heart, it is more important for Audio-Technica to start and finish well and always play on the same team than to win a few more championships.
But the dream chasing trick of "blackmailing Curry to make the Warriors" has disgusted too many people, and even affected Curry's own image and interests.
There is an old Chinese saying called "cutting the robe and breaking the righteousness", and it is time for Curry to stand up and speak.
Of course, if it's really like the picture below, I didn't say anything.
