I've been too busy lately to have time to read the news, I opened my phone today and saw that Jason Richardson has retired, hey, it's another generation of youth, this player is still unfamiliar with fans who have watched the game for no more than two years, so let's talk about Jason Richardson.

In the long history of the NBA, there are many superstars, such as the current Kobe, James, Durant, Carter, Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Pierce, retired a little earlier, such as O'Neal, Nash, Maddy, Iverson, and even Jordan, most of these players are familiar to the players, and the historical allusions can not be told for three days and three nights. But the type of player that is more important than the role player, and the representative of it is Jason Richardson.

Speaking of this name, many fans may know it, but it is only limited to knowing, but I vaguely remember that he used to be a star who could cut 20+ per game, but his peak did not seem to last for a few years, and his popularity was far less than that of Xike Dongai, North Carnanmai.

In the 2000-2001 season, the Warriors managed to finish at the bottom of the West under the leadership of head coach Dave Cowens, with only 17 wins in the whole season, only two more than the Chicago Bulls, and the whole team was in ruins, one of the greatest stars in the history of the Warriors, Chris Mullin, known as "God's Left Hand", announced his retirement after the end of the season, thus ending his glorious career of 16 seasons, and the young center Eric Damppier, who was highly expected by the team, did not play as well as he wanted. Third-year freshman Antoine Jamison became the leader of the team, averaging 25 points and 9 rebounds per game, Larry Hughes averaging 16 points per game from the outside, but he shot only 38.3% from the field and 18.7% from three-point range, and Bob Soula, another starting guard, averaged 11 points per game, but shot only 40% from the field and 30% from three-point range.

Clearly, the Warriors need a star player who can provide consistent fire from the outside.

In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Warriors drew the No. 5 pick, and before the Warriors, the selected players were all interior players, Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Pau Gasol, Eddie Curry, and in the fifth pick, the Warriors undoubtedly won the star guard from Michigan State University, Jason Richardson.

In the first season of the Warriors, Richardson firmly occupied the starting position, he started 75 of the 80 games he participated in, averaging 14.4 points per game, in the game, he brought his super excellent physical fitness to the extreme, Richardson, who first entered the league, is not a qualified three-point shooter, but is an energetic "Bomberman" is extremely fast, especially the fast break, holding the ball at a gallop, and the wind and clouds generally complete the dunk in just a few seconds, and the bounce is excellent, Its signature move is to turn the body and dunk the 360-degree windmill!

In his first year as a rookie, Richardson participated in the All-Star Weekend rookie game, he scored 31 points to tie the game record and won the rookie game MVP, and the next day, in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Richardson defeated the previous champion Desmond Mason with a domineering 360-degree two-handed tomahawk dunk, crowned the new "dunk king"!

It is worth noting that in this year's draft, the Warriors used the second pick of this round, which is the 31st overall pick, to select a young man from the University of Arizona, this young man is the same as Kobe, with short curly hair, clear eyebrows, and always a bright smile on his face, but in terms of ball skills, he seems to have no other advantages except for juggling the ball and throwing blindly outside the three-point line. Being selected by the NBA team means that he can get at least $500,000 a year for the next three years, which is undoubtedly a huge wealth for a poor boy from the slums, and normal people will be excited, but this young man burst into tears and cried on the spot, because he firmly believed that he could be named by a team in the top ten or even the top five, but obviously, the result disappointed him, and he vowed in his heart that he would be the best. That young man was none other than Gilbert Arenas.

Youngsters always have to pay tuition first, Jamison, Richardson, Arenas, these youngsters have not allowed the Warriors to win more games, and over the course of the season, 20-62, tied with the Bulls for the bottom of the league. Despite the poor record, it is undeniable that this Warriors team is young, full of passion and energy, and one day, its future is limitless.

In the 2002-2003 season, Richardson played 82 games, averaging 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

This season's team's scoring champion is still Antoine Jamison, he averages 22.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, although the data is gorgeous, Jamison is introverted, not good at words, and lacks leadership on the court, this may be Richardson's best, an opportunity to become a superstar, become the leader of this team, and then in the process of his own growth, lead this team to continue to win, in terms of data, 16+5+3 is acceptable, and there is still room for growth, In terms of popularity, the two-time champion of the slam dunk contest also allowed Richardson to accumulate a huge number of fans, but it is a pity that Richardson did not seize this opportunity.

Richardson's concession has made Gilbert Arenas, the latter is not like the former, he has an extraordinary amount of self-confidence, as long as the ball is in my hands, the game is my rhythm, every ball he throws is full of confidence regardless of whether it is scored or not, even if it is a meter away from the three-point line, this season Arenas has completed the transformation from bench to leader, Averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, Arenas is at the bottom of the team with a salary of $510,000 this season.

The Warriors have won 38 games this season but are still locked out of the playoffs.

Before the start of the 2003-2004 season, the Warriors made an unbelievable trade, they traded the team's interior pillar Jamison to the Mavericks in exchange for Nick Van Exel, this player because of the name is more tongue-twisting, not many fans know about it, before the Lakers' "OK" combination, Van Exel was the boss of the team, this person is only 185 cm tall, But the career-high season averaged 21.4 points per game, this person can be described as a strengthened version of Nate Robinson, a weakened version of Allen Iverson, but this year's Van Exel, who was already at the end of his career (in fact, retired after two seasons), averaged only 12 points per game, and shot less than four or three levels (40% shooting from the field and 30% from three-point range). Gilbert Arenas left the Warriors at the end of last season to sign with the Wizards, almost for a season, and Richardson was left alone in the Warriors trident, which had terrified the league last season, and Richardson seized the opportunity. Averaging 18.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game, he began to enter the threshold of the league's first-line stars, and second-year rookie Mike Dunleavy averaged 11.7 points per game to help Richardson a lot on the offensive end, but it was not enough, and after the season, the Warriors won 37 games and entered the playoffs.

Before the start of the 2004-2005 season, the Warriors traded Eric Dampier, and the previous 2001 rookie Troy Murphy became the team's starting interior line, and he soon returned to the team as a surprise. He averaged 15.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, including 3.6 frontcourt rebounds, and the Warriors made their most important addition before the trade deadline when they traded two role players for Hornets guard Baron Davis.

Davis played in the final 28 games for the Hornets. Averaging 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, in addition to that, there are a group of very good role players, such as Derrick Fisher, who signed for $37 million for 6 years in the new season, Michael Petrus, the 11th rookie in the first round in 2003, Andris Biedrins, the 11th rookie in the first round in 2004, and of course, the sharpshooter Mike Dunleavy, the advantages and disadvantages of this team dominated by young players are obvious, young, energetic, impactful, and run at the end of the defensive end, but the state fluctuates greatly, often killing strong teams and losing to weak teams, Richardson 21.7 points 5With 9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals, Richardson began to practice his outside shooting skills from the beginning of this season, transforming from a "dunk king" to a "three-point king"!

This season, under the leadership of Richardson, the Warriors only won 34 games, and next season, Richardson averaged 23.2 points per game, but the Warriors still had 34 wins and failed to enter the playoffs.

In the three years that Richardson has been the boss of the Warriors, the Warriors' record is 37 wins, 34 wins, 34 wins, and the team has not entered the playoffs. Carter's contemporaries of these superstar-level guards can all lead the team's offense after the team's leading point guard is absent, but Richardson can't, he averages about 3.0 assists per game, but the turnover is as high as 2.3, whether it is the court helm or the accuracy of passing, not as good as Comecaika.

On the offensive end, Richardson's average of 20 points per game (17 points per game in his career) is obviously not deterrent enough, Kobe's two scoring titles are 35 points and 31 points per game, Iverson averaged 30 points, 31 points, 31 points and 27 points when he won the scoring title four times, Maddie also won two scoring titles with an average of 31 points and 28 points per game, although Carter did not have a scoring title, but his career has averaged more than 20 points per game for ten years, Averaging over 24 points per game in six seasons at his peak, it is clear that Richardson is not as accomplished on the offensive end as Comecca and has never qualified to match them in history, even though they were both the best No. 2 players of the era.

Although Richardson did not help the team out of the quagmire as the team leader in the past three years, it was also the most glorious moment of Richardson's career.

On January 17, 2007, the team added a number of fresh blood, "bald old demon" Al Harrington and "Captain" Stephen Jackson came to Golden State, this year, Richardson only played 51 games because of injury, an average of only 16 points per game, because the Warriors' starting Davis, Harrington, Richardson, Jackson's appearance is too low, more like bandits, so there is the nickname of "Golden State Gang", this year the Warriors won 42 wins, They finally made the Western Conference playoffs as the eighth in the East, and they faced the Dallas Mavericks with Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, and Josh Howard, and of course, Eric Dampier, a former interior player who was traded away by the team the year before.

It was a series with almost no suspense, the Mavericks won 60 games last year, made it all the way to the Finals in the playoffs, and finally lost to the Heat to finish runner-up, and this season they have won 67 games, ranking first in the West, which is a testament to how solid this roster is, and their head coach is Avery Johnson, the winner of last year's "Best Manager", the team's regular season MVP, with the "German chariot" Dirk Nowitzki, nicknamed is simply a bug in the league, averaging 25 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, while also hitting a super high shooting percentage of more than 549 (shooting more than 50% from the field, more than 40% from three-point range, and more than 90% from the free throw line)! "Ugly Horse" Josh Howard can also average 19 points and 7 rebounds per game as the second leader, and "Jet" Jason Terry is still in his last year of starting, averaging 17 points and 5 assists per game, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 43%! Inside Eric Dampier focused on defense, averaging 7 points and 7 rebounds per game, shooting 63% from the field - almost a little offensive opportunity, and there were also Devin George, Jose Barria, Jerry Starhouse, Greg Buckner, Devin Harris, Austin Crosshill and other strong players on the bench, the Mavericks' goal is to win the championship, and the imaginary opponents are the Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James, and the San Antonio Spurs with Duncan, For a team like the Warriors, who only won a measly 30 games in the past few years, and entering the playoffs is like "hitting a big luck", with huge personnel changes and extremely unstable lineups, the Mavericks don't pay attention to it at all.

But reality soon gave the Mavericks a slap in the face, and the third "Black Eight Miracle" in the league was also the first "Black Eight Miracle" after the first-round format was changed to a best-of-7 system!
