The 2013-14 season was a season for Blackburn Rovers as the Eagles prepared to take off, and a year for the Golden State Warriors to lay the foundation for victory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info?? Novel w?w?w?. `

Theoretically, the Warriors in the new season can deal with all the lineups and routines, they can expose a series of hidden dangers of the Heat, the problem is that having a shooter-type star with an old ankle injury in charge of the chief attacker + sole playmaker is a gamble in itself, even if their summer signings are excellent, it is still the cute Stephen Curry who determines their ceiling, and he has not yet reached the superstar level.

The Golden State Warriors in this life have Arthur as the "new boss", so even if Arthur doesn't want to change the team to become the champion and the king of 73 wins, it still brings a lot of changes to the team.

The first is the additional benefits for the players.

Although the NBA stipulates that player wages cannot be changed, and even owners are not allowed to have additional incentives, Arthur can find another way to bring benefits to his team's players through other compliant channels.

For example, sports brand endorsements.

Now in the Golden State Warriors, in addition to Curry and Yi Jianlian are the spokespersons of Arthur's Under Armour brand, including Thompson, Iguodala, Draymond Green have signed multi-year contracts with Under Armour, and other players on the Warriors also have a minimum endorsement fee of $100,000 a year with Under Armour.

In this way, Arthur did not directly raise the salary of the players on the team, so the NBA could not punish and stop Arthur's behavior, but in fact, the players did get benefits, so in the transfer market and free market, the Warriors are still quite sought-after.

And the second big change that Arthur brought to the Warriors was the joining of Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian had his best season since joining the Warriors last season, averaging 8.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game this season, and Yi's biggest contribution was not on the court.

If you like, you'll find an interesting detail about the Warriors' roster

Playmaker: Tony Douglas.

Two-way guards: Curry, Nedovic.

Shooting guard: Klay Thompson.

2nd and 3rd swingman: Iguodala.

Small forward: Barnes.

3 and 4 swing man: Draymond Green.

Power forward: David Lee.

No. 4 and No. 5 swingers: Speights, Yi Jianlian.

Centre: Bogut, O'Neill Jr.

That's right, that's where the Warriors come in: they have a whole bunch of players who can swing two positions. Really do the whole body, no deviation.

No matter what routine you give, you can't cure them.

So, in the playoffs last season, they were the Spurs' biggest rival in the West. They are not as good as the Grizzlies on the inside and defensively, but the Spurs are old and spicy, pinching the Grizzlies' lack of three points, and beating them to death. The Warriors didn't have a flaw in this regard: Bogut guarded the restricted area, giving Duncan a headache; Curry and Thompson are flammable devices, and a little bit can ruin any team with a flaming three-pointer; Barnes proved himself to be a first-year student, but he was a solid one.

In addition, few people cared, but last season the Heat lost a total of four home games: two to the Knicks, one to the Bulls, as you know, the Knicks and the Bulls have long been regarded as the Heat team nemesis, and one was lost to the Golden State Warriors.

One detail: The biggest change for the Warriors last season was that Mark Jackson really faded away from the old Nelson era. The Warriors went from being a wild mustang to a decent team. They have a good offense, are mid-range defensively, are fourth in the league in shooting percentage for suppressing opponents, seventh in the league in three-point defense, and are the best rebounding team in the league. They have excellent box protection + three-point line control, and even the Spurs played hard last season; They have a league-high 40 percent three-point percentage, along with Curry and Thompson, two star shooters.

If you add Bogut, who is healthy this season, and Iguodala, who is a new signing, you can imagine: the former is as stable as a mountain in the restricted area, and the latter is the best wing defender in the NBA today, which is simply for LeBron. Although the chances are slim, if a miracle happens, they will rush out of the West, and the Finals will be against the Heat, which really makes the Heat have nowhere to speak.

In the summer of 2013, the Warriors finally made room to poach Iguodala from the Nuggets after a bunch of draft picks expired to expire the contracts of Biedrins, Jefferson and Rush, plus a bunch of draft picks in exchange.

After this big move, the signing of Tony Douglas, Speights and O'Neal Jr., as well as the release of Landry and Jarrett Jack, all seem insignificant.

Iguodala's arrival is a big deal, not just in defending him to the Nuggets in the previous season before he went to the Nuggets, and the Nuggets were 20th in the league in defense; He played one season with the Nuggets, who finished 11th in the league in defense and were all-round.

Previously, the Warriors were still a little monotonous both offensively and defensively: on the offensive end, they relied on Curry and Thompson to move or block a lot of off-ball moves, David Lee's back play, and Barnes's sporadic singles; On the defensive end, there is a lot of local delay on the inside line.

The Warriors have flexible guards and huge interior lines, but the two are like birds and rhinos, and there is a lack of swingman associations in between, Barnes and Thompson are excellent shooters, but they can barely do the panacea of cutting in the air, moving the ball, and breaking through with the ball.

That's what Iguodala is all about: he can fill in the roles that are missing from the Warriors' offensive and defensive routines, such as counter-arrows, part-time playmakers, air cuts, weak-side raids, help defense chains, rotations, pinching passing lanes, and single-defense aces.

Assuming Bogut is healthy, the connection of Bogut + Iguodala is enough to make a small Gasol + Tony-Allen-style double shield.

Also because of Iguodala's arrival, the Warriors have a more decent starter. Before that, the Warriors were more of a thick-seater gamer: the starters played half a quarter, and Jack and Landry were sent in to mix and match the starters. Such a mix and match formation allows them to have no obvious weaknesses from beginning to end, and even the explosiveness of the substitutes is stronger than that of the starters; The disadvantage is that when it comes to life and death, the shock wave of the substitute has passed, and the main force is dueling, and it is impossible to fight for life and death.

So in the last four games of the battle against the Spurs, the Warriors were fully passive: Green, Barnes, Thompson, and Curry all made surprises from time to time, but the firepower was scattered and there was no fatal focus. No way: you can play nine points in the regular season, and in the playoffs, thickness plays a slightly smaller role, and depends more on the quality of the team's top seven and a half players, and the five-man team in the five-in-one or life-and-death decision is the key.

So, the Warriors are now in a posture of "as long as we run in well and Curry's ankle is fine, we can win 55 with our eyes closed like the Nash Suns".

But on the books, Arthur knows that the Warriors have evolved from a strong team in the West to a top team in the West, and the following problems must be solved

When Iguodala arrives this summer, Jack and Landry leave. Although it is not obvious, the Warriors' bench has weakened significantly due to their departure.

Last season, it was precisely because of Jack's hob meat raid and part-time organization that Curry was able to organize the whole team and boldly brush up on three points; Because of Landry's frontcourt impact, the Warriors have a truly reliable box explosive pack. After Jack is gone, Curry's ball-handling tasks will become much heavier; Without Landry, the Warriors are really lacking a guy who is crawling around the box right now.

So, apart from whether Iguodala will be able to use his full energy anytime soon, and whether Curry and Bogut are healthy, the Warriors should be concerned about these two guys this season: Klay Thompson and Barnes.

As the playoffs last season proved, Thompson was a superb shooter and Barnes was an all-round forward. As role players, they're good enough, but it's not enough. In the new season, the Warriors' offense will largely revolve around Curry + Bogut's pick-and-roll, David Lee's strategy, and Iguodala's occasional cameo to transfer the ball. Jack's departure has added to the burden on Curry, which is not good for his injury.

If so, Thompson would have to take over much of Curry's work; In addition to shooting, he had to become a more well-rounded scorer. Barnes, on the other hand, had to figure out what to do with Landry's penalty area and become the team's reliable mid-range ball-handler. In short, the two of them have to transform from super supporting roles to main creators.

As mentioned earlier, the Warriors are well-rounded and can list a large number of swing people. Theoretically, they can cope with all formations and all routines. If you want to play fast, if you want to play slow, if you want to play big, if you want to play small, they can handle it.

The six big battles with the Spurs last season made the Spurs terrified. They are not like grizzly bears, who will be beaten to death by a spur to a weak point. But behind the comprehensiveness and tenacity, they have another side.

In the playoffs, the Warriors are still not going to be a very strong team. They have the ability to play with everyone, and Iguodala and Bogut will make the starting line-up more impressive; But when it comes to confrontation under maximum pressure, who is their real trump card?

Does the final pressure have to be put on Curry's long-range shot?

But last season's playoffs proved that as accurate as Curry is inevitably with the ups and downs of his shooting touch. Having a shooter-type star with an old ankle injury in charge of the chief attacker and sole playmaker is a gamble in itself.

For the most part, role players determine the team floor, while aces determine the team ceiling. If the Warriors want to make a run for the Western Conference Finals, Curry will have to take on the role of a star at that level.

It's brutal, but at the end of the day, Curry has to take on the responsibility of being a top superstar who can take over and dominate a game at any time.

The progress of Thompson and Barnes, the filling of Iguodala, and the inside support of Bogut and Lee are all just cornerstones in the end.

Arthur's goal this season is for Curry to stand taller, taller, and shoot down the stars. (To be continued.) )
