On July 26, Beijing time, there were 3 messages from the Golden State Warriors, let's take a look.
Curry shows high emotional intelligence
Today, Warriors star Steven Curry and Suns star Kevin Durant, who followed the United States men's basketball team to the Paris Olympics, spoke to the media and answered a number of questions. When a reporter threw a trap and asked Curry which team he was most looking forward to playing against at this Olympics, Curry said: "The team we played against in the finals. Curry's answer not only cleverly dodged the trap, but also drew applause from the audience, and Kevin Durant next to him showed an incredible smile and nodded in praise.
Curry's implication was to show United States' determination to reach the finals for the gold medal, but also to show enough respect without offending the other 11 teams in the competition. I have to say that Curry's answer is really full of marks, and it also shows his high emotional intelligence to the fullest. Presumably, in addition to top-notch basketball skills and gorgeous ball style, such a way of taking the overall situation into account is also one of the reasons why Curry is so popular and respected by the outside world.
Green vetoed the deal
Today, Warriors forward Draymond Green revealed the Warriors' offseason trade move during a podcast called "520Club." "Just last week, the team came close to a deal, and while it helped me, I was straightforward about telling management that it shouldn't be done," Green said. Because from the team's point of view, I found that the disadvantages of this deal outweigh the benefits, and it is not conducive to the future development of the team. Because Green has a relatively large voice in the team, the Warriors management reversed the deal after discussion.
Combined with the recent trade rumors that the Warriors have been wanting to get Markkanen, it is not difficult to speculate that the trade Green said should be about Markkanen. From his words, it can be heard that the Warriors should have overdrawn a large number of young players and future assets to offer Markkanen. In terms of team help, Markkanen's arrival allows Green to return to the familiar No. 4 position and improve the Warriors in shooting, interior offense and rim protection. But Markkanen isn't a game-changing superstar, and with only one year left on his contract, even the Warriors risk losing him for nothing next summer. Therefore, Green's move is still wise.
Cole is confident of winning the title
Today, Warriors coach and United States men's basketball coach Steve Kerr was interviewed by the media and answered a number of questions. Commenting on the team's struggles in the warm-up games against South Sudan and Germany, Cole said: "At that time, the players and coaching staff were not mentally and strategically ready, but with the start of the Olympics, that wasn't going to happen. On his goal for the Paris Olympics, Cole said: "There's no doubt about winning the title. By all accounts, we are the most hopeful, and as long as we stay focused, we will achieve five consecutive Olympic titles. ”
It is not difficult to hear from Cole's words that he is full of confidence and feels that the United States men's basketball team can win the championship. It is true that the United States men's basketball team has an influence and star flavor that no other team in the world can match, but this United States men's basketball team was formed improvised, and the chemistry is certainly not comparable to other teams that have practiced together for a long time. In addition, Kerr is not without experience of overturning (last year the men's basketball team was only ranked fourth in the world), and if he does not find the right way to coach on the ground, then the United States men's basketball team really won't win the championship. At that time, once the car rolls over, Cole's confident remarks will also become the talk of fans after dinner.
