NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 473 Breaking the defense!

Before the start of the season, with the enthusiastic joining of Durant, the Golden State Warriors directly evolved from a super battleship to a galactic battleship. The combination of Curry + Thompson + Green played an unparalleled season in the 14-15 season.

That season, the Warriors achieved a super record of 65 wins and 17 losses. Fast whirlwinds and violent three-point rain also became popular that season.

And the Warriors' achievements not only come from the regular season, they are also invincible in the playoffs, passing all the way to the finals.

There is no doubt that the Warriors were the brightest star in the league that season. If Xue Liancheng hadn't come out of nowhere, the Warriors would have been really close to the championship.

However, even though the Warriors were on the finals stage, they were still surrounded by fans.

The media are still optimistic about the rise of this new force.

In fact, the Warriors did not disappoint those fans who love them. In the second season, they won 24 consecutive victories at the start of the season and won 70 games at an unstoppable pace throughout the season. They really shocked the entire league!

No one dares to underestimate them anymore. Everyone believes that the Warriors will make a comeback and will surely stand on top of the world.

The results were surprising.

Xue Liancheng led a group of stragglers to reach the finals again.

That's right.

But they are all role players and cannot play an absolute role.

Both the Pistons and the Grizzlies gave up on them, and you can imagine how outrageous their performance was last season.

This shows that the Warriors at that time were the top players, while the Knicks were the bottom dogs.

The other one only focuses on offense, and the defensive end seems to have nothing to do with him.

The one thing they have in common is that they are not good at defense.

First of all, Lopez is the most famous. He has played for the Nets for many years and was selected to the All-Star once. However, he has never been recognized by the public and no one has included him in the top ranks for discussion.

With 70 wins, they actually lost to Xue Liancheng for two consecutive years, which was extremely disappointing.

The Golden State Warriors are so strong, and they welcome another historical scorer, Kevin Durant.

The latter made a name for himself in the Miami Heat. As the top defensive gate during the Heat period, PJ Tucker was really strong that season. He could defend the outside line and the inside line. He was very active and in place in assisting defense.

At that time, most people felt that as long as the Warriors could stay healthy, winning the championship would definitely be within reach.

What's the result now?

When the Warriors faced the Lakers, they actually lost two games and trailed the Lakers by a big score of 1:2. This is simply incredible.

But despite this, they were unanimously looked down upon.

And Lopez's team-leading ability and personal performance cannot really support the title of top insider.

None at all.

And the successful climb to the top explains the legend and greatness.

One is slow and soft, and can only be used as a three-point turret.

Now add Durant, is there any suspense that they can easily win the championship?

You can get a rough idea of ​​this from ESPN predictions.

In fact, when Xue Liancheng first led the team, many people were not optimistic about the Knicks.

You know, Xue Liancheng is the absolute core of leading the Heat to win the championship! With the existence of double MVPs, he was still the assist leader that season.

They are playing it out now, because the Knicks' championship has gilded them, which makes the Knicks' overall lineup look scary.

Then there are Ilyasova and Jeff Green, but they were also abandoned by their original teams, mainly because their shortcomings were too obvious.

But no one dares to say that the warrior is not strong.

Such a warrior?

Who else can beat it?

The season hasn't even started yet, but the championship has actually been booked by the Warriors.

Then the second biggest helper is Oladipo.

The Knicks looked really average that season.

Their offensive and defensive rhythm and offensive firepower are at a historical level. They kill all the way in the regular season and are invincible in the playoffs.

In the end, Xue Liancheng led this group of questionable abandoners and ran all the way to the finals.

In terms of fame and strength at the time, Lopez was Xue Liancheng's biggest helper.

As losers, the Warriors will undoubtedly be cast aside.

Only the loss to the Knicks in the Finals was shocking.

It was precisely through his success in New York that Xue Liancheng conquered everyone and became the new face of the league in one fell swoop.

And Lopez has made it to the All-Stars after all, and he still has some personal strength.

But speaking of being the second assistant, in fact Oladipo is a complete abandonment of the Magic. The second-place talent was abandoned by the Magic before his talent could be realized.

The bargaining chip in exchange is Will Barton + Chalmers. What is this if not abandonment?

Then the more famous ones are David West and Pj Tucker. The former is a former All-Star and is still capable of fighting.

This is what people can expect from the Golden State Warriors.

What's even more unbelievable is that the Warriors won a thrilling game.

At best, Lopez is hovering on the line of quasi-All-Star, not even a prince.

After all, they reached the finals stage with Curry + Thompson alone.

That season, the Knicks were only predicted by ESPN to be ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.

In addition to these people, Crowder and Galloway are completely role players. Even last season, they were still struggling on the bench.

How could this situation not be shocking?

"Haha... I didn't expect that the legendary Yong of the Universe would be so vulnerable."

"You boasted amazingly, but ended up falling behind 1:2. The next game is the Lakers' home court. I just ask the Warriors, do they still have a chance?"

"The most disappointing team in history, bar none."

"It's surprising that a team with 70 wins lost in the Finals. I didn't expect that with 70 wins and Durant, it still couldn't beat the Lakers."

"This just shows a problem. Xue Liancheng is already a level higher than those superstars."

"I wonder if Durant regrets joining the Warriors?"

"I don't know if Durant will regret it, but Curry is already confused."

The voices of ridicule and questioning came in like a tidal wave.

Even Warriors fans broke the defense.

"Now, I don't know what to say anymore?"

"I'm tired, destroy it, hurry up..."

"If you can't defeat Xue Liancheng like this, there is really no solution."

"The whole world knows the Warriors were fighting for a championship, and now it's a complete joke."

"What else can I say? I can only wish you well and disband where you are..."

On paper, they are much better than others, but they fall behind by a big score. The next game will be at the Lakers' home court. How can this be explained?

All Warriors fans also became desperate.
