The NBA play-offs have ended, and the seventh and eighth places in their respective divisions have not been beaten, the only change is that the Lakers have changed from eighth in the West to seventh in the West, and the opponent has also changed from the original Thunder to the defending champion Nuggets. The Golden State Warriors, who are difficult to brother in the regular season, have announced the end of the season at this moment and are ready to pack up and go fishing. Even though, the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets in the series. They are still better than the Warriors, one made the playoffs, the other missed the playoffs, and that's the difference between heaven and earth.
After the game, the big-mouthed Dream Green said on his blog that the team could make big changes in the offseason.
"Now the team is in a situation where everything is on the table and we have to talk. I've had that idea since Wednesday, but it was tight and now, everybody is talking to them and I'm looking forward to what happens with those conversations and I want to see what happens next. ”
Everybody has to accept the conversation, and the main and secondary will have to be sorted out next season, and it can't be as vague as this season. Kuminga put it well: "Young people are the heart of the team. "The question of Clay's whereabouts is still unknown, but it is clear that even if he stays, his role status will decline.
As early as last offseason, the Warriors gave a two-year, 48 million contract extension. At that time, Clay was still in high spirits, and he wanted to gamble with himself for a year. Bet on whether he can or not, and then have a young Lingyun ambition dream. But this season's performance, he is disappointing, and the price of losing the game is likely to be leaving the Warriors.
But fortunately, with the help of Curry, Dream Chaser and Kerr, the Warriors management still leaves a door for his return. The premise is that Clay has to let go of his arrogance, accept the reality, and accept the new position given to him by the coaching staff. But the question is, would Clay want to?
0 of 10 shots and 0 points. Maybe Thompson in 2015 would never have dreamed that he was where he is today. On January 23, 15, Klay, who was less than 25 years old, scored 37 points on 13-of-13 shooting and 9-of-9 three-pointers in the third quarter of the Warriors' game against the Kings, breaking the NBA all-time single-quarter scoring record, which no one has been able to break so far.
Today, 9 years later, it is still on this field, in front of this opponent. Klay used 0 points to bury the Warriors' efforts for a whole season, and the Golden State dynasty officially came to an end.
It has been said that those who go up on the mountain should not laugh at the god who comes down on the mountain. Whether it's a matter of facts, or for Klay, competitive sports are like this, winning tens of thousands of touts, and fans have been uninvited for ten years. Lose the wall and push it down, what warriors are really unfamiliar. After Klay's big injury, Warriors fans were very tolerant.
The severe injury to the anterior cruciate ligament and right Achilles tendon in his left knee caused Klay's leg muscles to atrophy and greatly reduced his athletic ability, which also affected his shooting. Clay is very chicken now, he can't guard against fast guards, and he can't withstand the forward line in the same position, from the original four famous catches, to the current defense of 10,000 people, Clay is also countless nights, nostalgic for his once omnipotent self.
When the best scorer can't score, the pain is probably only known to Clay himself. If you want to stay with the Warriors, you have to take a pay cut to stay with the team, after all, Lacob is not a fool, he will not spend nearly $400 million on a team that can't make the playoffs.
