Dream Green: The outside world has not given Durant enough praise. Without him, we can beat the Rockets, but we cannot beat the Cavaliers with James .
In recent years, the grievances and resentments between Durant and the Warriors have been throughout NBA. It has been three years since Durant left the Warriors, but the outside world has never stopped ridiculing him.
Durant was unhappy with the Warriors for three years. Perhaps the biggest reason came from Green. His words "We were the championship before you came here" were too hurtful. Green also had many confrontations with Durant on the court. There was a fierce dispute. Even if Durant was not injured in 2019 and always won the championship, Durant would leave the Warriors.
Speaking of Green, sometimes I really can’t figure him out, and his emotional intelligence fluctuates high and low. He was the one who forced Durant away, but now he has stood up to speak out for Durant. In one sentence, he praised Durant and James, but also trampled Harden to the ground.
So, with or without Durant, can the Warriors really not get past the Rockets?
In the 2017-18 season, the Warriors and the Rockets met in the Western Conference Finals. The Warriors were composed of Durant, Curry, Thompson and Curry. The Rockets lineup was composed of Harden, Paul, Gordon and Tucker formed . With the addition of Durant, the Warriors' strength has risen to a new level.
After the first four games of the Western Conference Finals, the two sides tied 2-2. Then the Warriors lost the Tianwangshan Battle. In the sixth game, Durant scored 23 points to help the team drag the game into a tiebreaker. In the seventh game, he scored a game-high 34 points to help the Warriors eliminate the Rockets and advance to the finals.
Without Durant, the Warriors might not be able to get past the Rockets. After all, Harden was by no means a vegetarian that season, not to mention the Rockets still had Paul.
Therefore, Durant not only helped the Warriors defeat James in the 2017-18 season, but also helped the Warriors defeat Harden. Without Durant, the Rockets' lineup would not be worse than the Warriors. Perhaps Harden would have already tasted the total defeat. A taste of the finals.
In any case, after Durant was ridiculed, Green should stand up and speak out for Durant, and should be grateful to Durant. After all, Durant was recruited by them to deal with James and Irving.
In Green's words, since you were the championship before Durant came, why did you openly recruit Durant to join? You don't need to think about it, you are scared by 73 wins and not winning the championship, and you were frightened by James Irving. Shocked.
So fans and friends, please take a fair look at Durant joining the Warriors. The entire Warriors team should be grateful to Durant instead of being sarcastic. In any case, Durant still got most of the players in the Warriors. Honors that everyone dreams of:
1, defeated James, the league's number one player at the time;
2, won the championship for the first time in his career;
3, won FMVP for the first time in his career;
4, helped the Warriors achieve two consecutive championships!
(Purely personal opinion, please correct me)
