If you look at the history of the league, every ten years there is actually a change of old and new. You can look at the Warriors ten years ago, they started to rise from that time, and in these 10 years, it can be said that they have made great achievements. In recent years, the league has entered an era of rotating championships, and no one has yet been able to defend the title. Actually, it's a good thing, everyone has a chance, and everyone is willing to match the team with a lineup. Unlike previous super-dominant teams, many teams know that there is no hope of winning the title, so they have to wait slowly. Of course, some stars are also saying goodbye to the league, and the era of some stars is coming to an end, entering a period of replacement between the old and the new.
If you want to talk about the top of the league at the moment, everyone will think of James, Durant, and Curry for the first time. It's true that they are the top of the alliance, I don't know if you have found it, they are actually slowly saying goodbye to this alliance, in the final analysis, it is actually an era that is slowly ending. We can look at Curry, who didn't make the playoffs this season. Even if they toss again this offseason, the Warriors will not return to winning championships even if they enter the playoffs in the future. Curry is getting older, and the Warriors have a dead button that they can't untie. The inevitable result of the aging of the lineup is also the inevitable problem that will occur after this lineup has won more championships. This is how times change, and this is how they are reincarnated.
Let's look at James again. The Lakers are currently down 0-2, and judging from the performances in the first two games, the Lakers have little chance of this series, and the only decent thing now is not to be swept. James has been through a lot in the last 20 years. From the era of super center to the era of small ball, it is right that James can keep up with the rhythm of the game, but people are getting old after all, and James has also had periods of weakness. It can only be said that James's peak and thick eyebrows do not coincide, if the 30-year-old James joins forces with peak thick eyebrows, then this lineup will do more things. Now Lao Zhan can no longer turn the tide like he did in 18 years, and the playoff stage will always tell sighs and heroic endings.
As for Durant, he is also facing the embarrassing situation of falling behind 0-2. Compared to the Lakers, the Suns are actually more embarrassed. The Suns have a big three, with two top-10 scorers, but it's hard to find a win in the playoffs. Durant is old, and he really can't fight this time. After two games, Durant's scoring efficiency is really not high. Although Durant's morale is still very high, he really can't carry the whole team alone. For the Suns, they're really aiming to avoid a sweep right now, not trying to win the series. Durant needs to make a consideration, in fact, the window to win the championship as the boss is closed, and I have to accept this reality.
James, Curry and Durant, who have been the most trafficked stars in the past 10 years, now have to admit that their championship era is over, at least the end of the championship era as the team's boss. Maybe in the next two seasons, they will still be at the top of the league, but they will play the regular season, even in the playoffs, and they will not go far. That's how the league is, there's always going to be young people and young teams, and that's how they came back then, taking the scepter from the older generation of stars, and now they're going to hand it over.
