But in recent years, with the gradual rise of small balls, the traditional center seems to have no place to play. On the contrary, small forwards and point guards are becoming more and more popular. ...
14, 15 In May, Cole signed a five-year, 25-million-yuan contract with the Golden State Warriors to replace mark jackson, who led the team with an average record, as the head coach of the team. Cole's arrival and the small ball system he advocated made the warriors complete the qualitative change.
14- 15 season, the Warriors and Curry jumped from the sixth record in the West on 5 1 last season to the first record in the league with 67 wins 15 losses. Curry also won the MVP in the regular season by averaging 23.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists to suppress Harden's 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.0 assists.
It's just that Curry failed to win the final victory this year. In the playoffs, facing pelicans, grizzlies and rockets, the Warriors easily reached the finals. Fortunately, I didn't face the Cavaliers in the finals (Love and Owen were injured), and finally defeated the Cavaliers led by James 4-2 and won the championship. As a team leader, Curry averaged 26.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, but failed to win FMVP as expected. Instead, Iguodala scored 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists. ...
15- 16 season, Curry completely vented his depression of not getting FMVP. He averaged 30. 1 minute, 5.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists, shot 45.4% from three-pointers, 90.8% from free throws and 50.4% overall. Because Curry also became the only player in the "180 Club" who scored 30+ per game, he became the all-vote MVP and led the league into the small ball era.
But this year Curry not only failed to win the FMVP, but also led the Warriors to win 73 games in the regular season, leading the finals with a big score of 3- 1, and was successfully reversed by Cavaliers 1-3, and missed the championship. Naturally, he could not win the championship.
In the finals of 17 and 18, Durant scored 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 55.6% shooting percentage and 28.8 points 10.8 boards, 7.5 assists and 52.6% shooting percentage respectively, and successfully won FMVP. Let Curry win the championship, but never get more personal honors.
19 playoff, Durant was injured in the series with the Rockets, which brought the Warriors back to the era of the Splash Brothers. The lack of Durant Warriors is not in trouble, because Curry didn't disappoint this time. In the Western Conference finals against the Trailblazers, he averaged 36.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 46.9% shooting percentage, leading the Warriors to beat the Trailblazers 4-0 with Lillard and Mackler. His perfect performance in this series of tournaments also earned him the title of "King of the West" ...
Unfortunately, due to Thompson's injury and Durant's achilles tendon tear in the finals, it is difficult for the Warriors to win the series only by Curry's performance of averaging 30.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, and Curry naturally missed FMVP. So that some fans are still discussing after the game: as long as Thompson and Durant are absent, Curry can't lead the team to win.
In fact, Curry did not perform badly during the five-year treble. What he really lacks is to turn the tide in the finals and win the FMVP trophy to prove himself. ...
Durant left this year and Thompson was injured, which should have been the best time for Curry to prove himself. The media also released a prediction early: Without Durant and Thompson, the Warriors may not be the team with the first record, but they are likely to let Curry go, which is far more terrible than the 73-win season. He will win the scoring champion and MVP…… again ... ...
I never thought that shortly after the start of the season, Curry broke his left hand in a layup and missed most of the season. Curry's long absence also gave birth to another negative voice: Curry was simply "cheating" and his injury had already healed. Nothing more than seeing the team's poor record and not coming back. At the time of the 19 finals, Durant was also shrouded in the voice of "cheating": the reason was that he missed many games, and even if he came back, it was difficult to get FMVP, so he didn't want to play.
But what about the facts? Durant, who is sensitive in his heart, made a forced comeback under the condition of incomplete recovery, but he got an achilles tendon tear. Who can be responsible for this?
Just when people expected the reunion of the Huashui brothers and broke people's expectations again, Thompson was injured without warning in a recent training match, and was finally diagnosed with a torn achilles tendon in his right leg, which was reimbursed again before the start of the new season.
This also means that the Warriors will once again lack a general in the new season, and Thompson also occupies more than 30 million salary space of the team, which greatly affects the follow-up reinforcement operation of the Warriors. Curry, like last season, will once again face the time without Thompson and Durant.
In fact, Curry's personal condition was not good in the five games he came back after missing Thompson and Durant last season. He averaged only 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 40.2%, the lowest in his career in the past seven years. ...
It's just that Curry's status can be adjusted through the game. Last season, his data was so mediocre because he didn't experience many games, and the data of five games can't be used as a standard to confirm his personal status. If there is no injury, Curry will have no difficulty in averaging 28+5+6 in the new season, and there is no problem of re-proving himself. In fact, he doesn't need to prove himself at all. The focus of the Warriors in the new season and the practical problems they should face are actually: in the absence of Durant and Thompson in the new season, only the "strong mouth"-Green, holding a thermos cup-Wiggins, I wonder if he can honor the second talent show-Wiseman, and how Curry can lead the team to play a good performance and rush into the finals. ...
Finally, whether Curry can prove himself a false proposition in the new season. If you want to prove it, he has proved himself by winning 73 seasons, winning 3 championships and leading the small ball era, proving that he is a super giant. As for "some groups" who have been clamoring that Curry must get FMVP to prove himself in the new season, who else in the league can lead this warrior to win the championship successfully?
