The Warriors' building collapsed, and the real culprit is Curry

When the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets 0-4 last year, many people blamed Russell's abnormal performance, thick eyebrows were blown up by Jokic, and Ham's use of personnel only dared not face the essence of the problem:

"If 23 Zhan is replaced by 16 Zhan, 18 Zhan or even 20 Zhan, can the Nuggets still be so rampant?"

In the final analysis, the root cause of the failure is that James is old, too old to have never played the teacher who has entered the peak and the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Similarly, today, the Warriors were eliminated in the first game of the play-offs by the "designated son" King in recent years, so don't blame Kerr for making mistakes, Klay for ten shots, and newcomers can't stand up.

Please, what kind of king is this now? The team's number one three-point cannon and bench chief killer are out, with two wins and six losses in the final eight games of the regular season, and the only team in the top 11 in the West this season to have a lower record than last season.

What's more, this is still the defeat of the Warriors in last season's playoffs.

How did the first-round tie-breakers play last year?

Curry shot 20 of 38, 50 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 turnover, and the Warriors easily passed 120-100.

Today, he scored 22 points and made 6 turnovers on 8-of-16 shooting, and the Warriors were run over by the Kings and fled 94-118.

The Kings used Curry's almost crazy trap throughout the game, constantly testing his ball-handling safety in key games, but it turned out that the "engine combination" of him and Dream Chaser had long passed the safe period.

Reddick once joked LeBron on the podcast "Mind The Game" that "a coach in the league will hardly choose to wrap you up." ”

James laughs, "Because I make the right decisions every time."

In today's game, Keon Ellis, the guard who came on as a substitute for Huerter, led Curry and scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists to become famous.

One thing to say, in addition to the 22-year championship season, Curry has made young students famous in the world in recent years. From Van Jordan in '19, Morant in the playoffs in '21, Reaves last year, Lonnie Walker, plus Ellis today.

"The children of Nancun bullied me and was powerless", as a supergiant who has been put into the top ten discussions in history at every turn, even if you can't be all-round in attack and defense, you can't become the target of the opponent's explosion every year.

James continued his highlight form at the age of 39 and finally broke the "411" record, which gave other fans an illusion to a large extent

"James did it, and my brother did it. ”

As everyone knows, in the history of the NBA, most stars have a golden period in the 28-32 age range, and since then they will gradually decline, and even fall off a cliff for various reasons.

Especially for outside stars, it is not easy for the former Jordan and Kobe Bryant to extend their peak to 35 or 6 years old.

And Curry and Durant still have a highlight performance this year, which also depends on their own hard work and self-discipline, as well as the rapid development of technology and medical standards.

But, after all, it's not your young self.

This season, his playing time has been reduced to a career-low 32.7 minutes, but his efficiency has still been severely slumped.

Both 45.2% shooting percentage and three-point percentage (40.8%) are the second-lowest in their careers, and their Victory Contribution (Ws) is a career-low (7.0), especially with a True Defensive Effectiveness (DBPM) of -1.1, which means that they are already in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

What's more, because of the impact of physical endurance, his performance this season has been extremely inconsistent.

He has scored in single digits in four games and under 20 points in 17 games this season, both career-highs.

He made more than 5 three-pointers this season and shot less than 25% of 13 games, not only the most in a single season in his career, but also the most in the league.

Of course, he can't use his lack of physical strength as an excuse for today's game. Prior to that, Kerr rested most of his core players in the final game of the regular season against the Hornets, and the last game was against the Pelicans four days ago, and he theoretically had much more energy than Fox and Sasa in the final game.

Not to mention, they also got an incredible 10-day vacation in the middle of the season because of the death of the assistant coach, and the league-wide maximum of seven days off during All-Star Weekend.

Of course, the landslide on the court is actually unavoidable, Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron have all experienced the embarrassing scene of not coming back in their prime at the end of their careers and being taught a lesson by their juniors, and they can't criticize him too much in this regard.

But it is the intervention at the level of team building that is what he does more damage to the team now.

In the minds of many people, Curry and the Warriors are beautiful, elegant, and personable representatives, with an angelic smile, a family with zero scandals, and decent manners, which have earned him a huge number of fans around the world.

But it's hard to imagine that this team is also pregnant with a bunch of filthy demons.

Since Pachulia knocked out Leonard and the Spurs, the roughness of the Warriors' game over the years has developed in inverse proportion to their level of competition.

The more difficult opponents they encountered, the more exaggerated their actions in the game became.

Dream Chaser has grown into a demon in the alliance, and his style can no longer be described as rude.

Death stomping Xiaosa, rear-naked choke Gobert, and 180-degree reflexive big Bidou Nurkic are unsurpassed in NBA history.

He is no longer as simple as being rude, but a complete "violent maniac" and "psychotic".

So why didn't the Warriors remove this villain who seriously affected the team's image, drove Durant and Poole away in a row, and brought shame to this legendary team?

Because Curry simply can't do without him.

In Kerr's tailor-made system for Curry, chasing dreams is an indispensable part. It not only plays the role of the defensive gate as the small ball number five on the defensive end, but also the most important command tower of the team on the offensive end.

In terms of tandem organization, Curry does not have the ability to string together a team like Paul, Kidd, and Nash back then, and he will be numb once he encounters a bag and tough confrontation.

And Dream Chasing's strategy and ability to play the ball in the high post can alleviate Curry's embarrassment on the offensive end to the greatest extent.

Last year, Curry once said that he was the all-time point guard GOAT, not to mention that he did not have any top honors comparable to Magic, and he also needed an inside line to help organize in his career, which is sensational among the great point guards in history.

And today's loss to the Kings is only a reaffirmation of that.

勇士，哦不对是库里，根本离不开追梦。

That's why he can hold the treasury and respect himself.

As a result, he and Durant exploded on the sidelines in the 18-19 season, and knocked out Poole with another punch before the start of the 22-23 season.

From the perspective of the boss and management, it is impossible for Dream Chasing to compare with the league's "Little King" or the team's most valued "Rising Star", but in the end, Dream Chasing has become the final winner.

didn't close to driving both of them away, and he also won a 4-year contract extension of 100 million.

Dream chasing, you think the Warriors love you, they are just afraid of affecting Curry.

And today, after this painful defeat, Curry once again carried forward his love of adulteration, and turned to speak out for Klay, who was 0 in 10 today:

"I can't imagine myself without these two guys [Dream and Clay], there's a lot of things changing every day in this league and we've been through so much together. I know they want to win, and I want to win. We can't play together forever, but we've been through something together. ”

So Lacob, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and hand Clay a 4-year contract of 100 million.

Curry has already spoken, do you dare not listen?

The Warriors' Curry-only, veteran-only, and merit-only business ideas have seriously affected the team's metabolism and rebuilding development, and they are indulging in the fantasy of regaining the glory of the past every day, but they don't know that the three old men they rely on are more than 100 years old.

And the only one who can provide positive value is Curry.

But he always insisted on "buy one get two free", which is even more outrageous than James wanting to play with his son and "sign one get one free".

Everyone knows that Curry hopes to replicate the glory of the Spurs' GDP back then, and the old three played together until the end of their careers and retired together.

But as everyone knows, the Spurs also sent Tony Parker away for follow-up development.

But more importantly, in order to stay together and maintain the team's competitiveness, the three gave up a total of $100 million in salaries during the 2003-16 period, and the team was always guaranteed to be replenished with new blood with cost-effective contracts, and Ginobili was even willing to play on the bench, while Klay was already crazy when he played on the bench for the first time this season.

And what about these three? Since Curry ended his child labor contract in 2017, who of the three has sacrificed their salaries for team building?

Duncan only received an annual salary of 9.8 million at the age of 36, and only 5 million when he retired, while Curry could still take $114 million from the Warriors in the next two years.

Sometimes the so-called white-headed to old age is really not as simple as talking.

The point is not what you say, but what you do.
