In the 2003-2004 season, the Warriors won 37 games, and compared to the 2002-2003 season, not only did they not improve, but they also fell back one game, and under the leadership of Nick Van Maniac, the whole team's tactical system was extremely chaotic - well, let's put it this way, this team basically has no tactical system, in a fashionable phrase, it is X-J-B-D, Jason Richardson became the team's new leader with an average of 18.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, Nick Van Exel averaged 12.6 points and 5.3 assists per game, shooting less than 40% from the field, he only played 39 games, this young, hopeless team is not his cup of tea at all, after the end of the season, even before the season is over, his heart is no longer here, Eric Dampier played a career-high performance this year, averaging 12.3 points and 12 rebounds per game, and played a full 74 games, Mike Dunleavy was promoted to the starter, averaging 11.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per gameMichael Petrus, who was drafted by the Warriors with the 11th pick in the first round in 2003, played 53 games, 22 of which were starts, averaging 5.3 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. Point guard Spidy Claxton, who signed for three years and $10 million this summer, has become a major firepower off the bench, averaging 10.6 points and 4.5 assists per game.

Fresh after the season ended, the Warriors sent Eric Dampier, who was in peak form and maximized value, to the Mavericks for a role player, two first-round picks and cash. In June 2004, the Warriors signed solid point guard Derrick Fisher for six years, $37 million. He averaged 11.9 points and 4.1 assists per game, and in 2004, the 11th pick in the first round of the draft, the interior big man Andris Biedrins averaged 3.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per gameThis deal gave the Warriors a complete farewell to their fish belly years.

Baron Davis is nicknamed "Beard", 191 cm tall, but his weight has reached nearly 100 kilograms, his body is thick, his strength is outstanding, he is known as the James of point guards, in the league at that time, it really did not completely limit Davis's No. 1 position, most guards can't withstand Davis's strong burst, that is the feeling of being run over directly, if the body is thin, he will be beaten mercilessly by the beard, the beard is not only excellent in physical fitness, but also very accurate in three-point shots and pull-up jump shots after dribbling, But Davis is fat, but his body is still very flexible, and he is a well-known steal master in the league, Davis is a man of character, he plays with passion on the court, and he is a natural leader.

In the 2004-2005 season, Jason Richardson averaged 21.7 points per game and is still the role of the league's first-line attacker, Troy Murphy averaged 15.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, Mike Dunleavy averaged 13.4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 38.8%, Petrus also became the main point of the team's bench, he averaged 9.5 points per game, and the new entry Baron Davis averaged 19.5 points per game and 8.3 assists in 28 games.

The Warriors have won 34 games this season, although it is not outstanding, but the basic framework of the team has been formed, as long as the run-in is good, it will definitely burst out with strong combat effectiveness, which is also in the 2006 playoffs, so that the Dallas Mavericks deeply experienced!

In the 2005-2006 season, the basic framework of the team's lineup is basically the same as last season, except that there are two more generals, Ike Diogu and Monta Ellis, Diogu is the 9th pick in the first round in 2005 and was picked by the Warriors, 206 cm tall, serving as a center, power forward, power player, no effective offensive means, but tough defense, rebounding is better, and Monta Ellis is the Warriors' 40th pick in the overall player, when the Warriors were not short of guards, I didn't have too much investigation of Ellis before the draft, and Ellis was selected entirely because this pick really can't pick any decent players, the Warriors are almost random players, I didn't expect to grow into a standard All-Star star, Monta Ellis is a typical speed player, excellent ability to attack with the ball, but the three-point shooting rate is unstable, and the defensive end will suffer a lot when facing tall attackers because of lack of height.

In the 2005-2006 season, Baron Davis played only 54 games due to injury. Averaged 17.9 points and 8.9 assists per game, Michael Petrus also only played 52 games, averaging 9.3 points per game, this season Richardson still maintained the role of the team's leading scorer, averaging 23.2 points per game, as well as 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists, Troy Murphy averaged 14 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, as early as last season, Golden State invited a head coach named Mike Montgomery, what? Haven't you heard who Montgomery is? Well, let me tell you, I don't know who he is, I just know that Montgomery only coached the Warriors in his coaching career, and from 2004 to 2006, he won 34 games in two years. This season also missed the playoffs.

The 2006-2007 season was arguably the most memorable year for the Warriors in history, even more than the Warriors' 2015 championship trophy, which changed dramatically on January 17 of that year, when the Warriors sent Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy and Ike Diogu from the Pacers for Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, and Salunas Gascovitius.

Stephen Jackson, nicknamed "Martial Saint", a star who grew up in a place full of gangsters, has a strong social brotherly atmosphere, Al Harrington and Baron Davis and Jason Richardson are also stars with exposed personalities, playing wild and uninhibited, these "Golden State Gangs" made the league cheer up, of course, this list also has Matt Barnes - NBA hitter-level figures, at that time Ba Ye was not as powerful as later, He's still fighting for a training camp contract, and together they've created a history in the NBA that almost no one else can match.

In the 2006-2007 season, the Golden State Warriors dug up the old coach Don Nelson again, raised the handsome flag, it is still a familiar taste, under the hands of the old Nelson, the Warriors held high the banner of running and roaring, with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses at the end of the regular season to catch the last train of the playoffs, you must know that the last time they entered the playoffs was in 1993-1994, when the team boss was still Sprewell, and Chris Mullin did not retire, Chris Webb played the first year of his career here, and before he knew it, thirteen years had passed! What I didn't expect was that the head coach of the team who reached the playoffs at that time was also Nelson Sr., and now the head coach who has reached the playoffs is still Nelson Sr., and the Warriors have gone all the way around and returned to the original starting point.

The Warriors' first-round opponent was the incomparably powerful Dallas Mavericks, who made it all the way to the Finals last year, losing six games against the Miami Heat with Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal, and this year the team made a comeback under Nowitzki's leadership, winning 67 games in the regular season, ranking first in the league! Dirk Nowitzki, the leader of the Mavericks, is a superstar in the league, averaging 25 points per game in the regular season, and is still the MVP of the regular season that year, of course, many games fight to the fourth quarter, and there is no need for Nowitzki to play, other players, Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Jason Terry, Devin George, Jerry Starkerhouse are also quite powerful players, compared with the powerful Mavericks, the Warriors are not only a notch weaker, in fact, there is a joke in this, The Warriors actually didn't play well in the regular season, relying on a record of nine wins and one loss in the last ten games to catch the last train of the playoffs, in fact, the Warriors were able to re-enter the playoffs after thirteen years, and they were completely thanks to the Mavericks, at the end of the regular season, the Mavericks released the water, and they had to choose a team between the Clippers and the Warriors, who had basically the same record, as the first-round opponent of the playoffs, compared to the Clippers with Elton Brand, Corey Margetty, Catino Mobley, Chris Carman and Sam Cassel, The Mavericks would rather let the Warriors, who don't have a very strong roster, go into the playoffs.

Before this series starts, I must first explain the situation of a person, he is the head coach of the Warriors at that time, Nelson Sr., after he left the Warriors in the 1994-1995 season, after a short season of coaching the Knicks, he has been holding the Mavericks' coaching whip for eight years, until the 2004-2005 season was replaced by the little general Avery Johnson. Nelson Sr. even knows whether Nowitzki pees on the left or right, and Nelson's familiarity with the Mavericks also gives the Warriors a huge psychological advantage.

In the first game of the series, the Warriors won the first game with an incredible 97:85, Baron Davis completely exploded the skinny Devin Harris into scum, tied up and hung a beat, 33 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals on 11-of-20 shooting, Stephen Jackson scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Matt Barnes became a wonder soldier, playing 25 minutes and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and did not have a turnover, Mavericks Josh Howard scored 21 points and 13 rebounds, but the offensive efficiency was not high, only 8 of 21 shots, Nowitzki played a heartwarming battle, only 4 of 16 shots, only 14 points and 12 rebounds, in the game, the old Nelson unexpectedly let Matt Barnes defend Nowitzki, the result was a miracle, Barnes has a tough style of play, as long as Nowitzki gets the ball in the game, Barnes must be constantly harassing Nowitzki, making Nowitzki upset, So why did old Nelson think of this trick? Because he knew very well that Nowitzki at that time would not have his back, but would only face the frame, and make an assumption that if Nowitzki could have the ability to back his back now, such as Matt Barnes and the like were arched to the basket by Norvisky with three arches and two arches, Golden State threw in a total of 10 three-pointers in this game, while the Mavericks only had 6.

The Warriors won one game and came out on top, while the stubborn Dallas Cowboys still thought it was just the Warriors' luck.
