In 1986, Jim Fitzgerald and Dan Finnan bought the Warriors from Franklin Murie and then appointed George Calvey as head coach for the new season.

Ten years, not too short a time, it's hard to imagine a team led by a top 10 scorer in the NBA scoring list without a single playoff appearance, in the 1985 NBA Draft, the Warriors selected Chris Mullin from St. John's University with the 7th pick in the first round, and with Mullin, they saw hope again.

Chris Mullin is 201 cm tall and plays as a forward, in terms of physical condition, Chris Mullin doesn't have any advantages, uh~ Well, I admit that his physical fitness belongs to the lowest type in the NBA, and the bounce power is ...... Belch...... He doesn't seem to have much jumping power, and he doesn't seem to be able to dunk with one hand...... Lateral movement force...... Belch...... In the words of his teammates, his ability to move laterally is as slow as a bank refund, but it is such a player who was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2011, Mullin is a left-handed player, so to speak, throughout the history of the NBA, no one has been able to practice the ability of the left hand to the level of Mullin, if compared to the most well-known left-handed star now, Mullin is more aggressive than Ginobili and can pass the ball better than James Harden, The elusive left-handed back pass is Mullin's signature move, often able to kill the enemy with one move, his shooting is extremely accurate, his career shooting rate exceeds 50%, it can be said that he is a very efficient scorer, one step inside the three-point line, for others is an extremely inefficient means of scoring, but Mullin dominates here, it is said that Mullin likes to shoot with others the most, but none of these people can beat him, including Mark Jackson, Larry Bird and other stars, Mullin's powerful projection ability comes from Mullin's crazy training day and night, and a variety of offensive means make Mullin practice like fire.

It is undeniable that Chris Mullin's career is quite brilliant, but in the first two years of his career, Mullin was struggling with alcohol, Mullin's father was an alcoholic, and his friends and relatives around him couldn't live without a wine bottle, so the young Mullin suffered from severe alcohol dependence, he had to drink, every night, excessive alcohol intake made Mullin's already poor physical condition even more mediocre, his body began to get fat, and his brain began to slow down. In the first two years of his career, Mullin did not play the state that a star should be, in his rookie season, Mullin played 55 games, averaging 14.0 points and 89.6% per game, and the free throw percentage was the first on the team, and the next season, Mullin was in full attendance in 82 games. Averaging 15.1 points per game, becoming the fourth scorer after Joe Barry Carroll with 21.2 points, Slip Floyd with 18.8 points and Pvis Schott with 18.3 points, the Warriors finished the season with a 42-40 record and reached the playoffs as fifth in the West, and the last time the Warriors made the playoffs was in the 1976-1977 season, exactly ten years after now, when it was still the era of Rick Barry Jamal Wilkes, Phil Smith and Robert Parish.

The first opponent of the Warriors in the playoffs is the Utah Jazz, who ranked fourth in the regular season, and the Jazz are also very strong on paper, not to mention the Utah duo of John Stockton and Karl Malone, in the team, Thor Bailey, Darnell Griffiths, Bob Hansen, and Mark Eaton are all powerful players, and it is very difficult for the Warriors to win.

The Warriors were defeated in the first two games, and the score of 0:2 was tantamount to being forced to the edge of the cliff in the best-of-three series at that time, but the Warriors, who were in a desperate situation, began to fight back, and finally completed an incredible 0:2 reversal in straight sets!

The Warriors' first win came thanks to the perfect play of Slip Floyd and Terry Teague, with the former scoring 27 points on 11-of-15 shooting and eight assists, and the latter scoring a full 30 points on 13-of-20 shooting! Terry Teague was transferred from the Pistons in 1984-1985 and has been on duty in 82 games this season, but all of them have played as a substitute, averaging 14.2 points per game this season, becoming the team's most powerful point of firepower off the bench.

The Warriors' second victory relied on Floyd's all-around performance of 22 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds, and even more relied on Puvis Sauter's explosive performance of 32 points! Schott has only played 34 games this season due to injuries, and a series of injuries have caused Schott to lose to Mullin in the competition for places, but this has completely unleashed Puvis Schott's talent in attack! In the final battle of life and death, the Warriors played a model of team basketball, and finally the Warriors defeated the Jazz 118-113 to advance to the second round, and Joe Barry Carroll contributed 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 blocks! Slip Floyd had 21 points and 14 assists, and Larry Smith had 12 points and 14 rebounds, including eight frontcourt rebounds!

The Warriors reached the second round for the first time in ten years, which made them begin to fantasize about the greater possibility of this year's playoffs, however, they met the more powerful Los Angeles Lakers in the second round, and the Lakers in the Lakers that year Byron Scott, Kareem Jabbar, Elvin Johnson, AC Green, James Worthy, Michael Cooper are all well-known players, and the Warriors, who can't keep up with the hardware configuration, were beaten 0:3 by the Lakers in the first three games, throughout NBA history, No team has ever been able to climb out of the abyss of 0:3, and now the Warriors are only fighting purely for honor, in the fourth game, the score in the first three quarters was quite close, and in the fourth quarter of the game, Slip Floyd suddenly went berserk, he scored 29 points in a single quarter, setting a new record for NBA playoff players in a single quarter, and the whole game was 51 points! A direct wave took away the victory of the game! Given Floyd's flawless performance throughout the playoffs this year, fans have nicknamed him "The Sleeper"!

In the end, the Warriors lost 1-4, and the Lakers, after beating the Warriors, defeated the SuperSonics and the Celtics, and finally won the championship.

Speaking of this Floyd, I still think of one thing, in 2014, Dennis Rodman once formed a group of some retired NBA veterans to go to North Korea to celebrate Kim Jong-un's birthday, most of them went bankrupt after retiring, because they went to North Korea to take revenge, including Wen Baker, Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, and Doug Christie, Floyd also went at that time, but he was not bankrupt, purely to travel, in fact, After retiring from the army, Freud wanted to be successful, ran a number of financial companies, and became a truly successful person.

At the beginning of the 1987-1988 season, the Warriors sent three outside cores, Pvis Short, Slick Floyd and Joe Barry Carroll, to the Rockets, and got a strong center Ralph Sampson, who originally wanted to trade a strong interior center with rich outside chips, and didn't want Sampson to be hit by injuries since he left the Rockets. The good foundation that had been accumulated was squandered, and in the 29 games he played for the Warriors this season, Sampson averaged 15.4 points and 10 rebounds per game, far below expectations, trading Floyd and Carroll made the bench players make great progress, Rod Higgins, a role player who averaged 8.6 points per game last year, ushered in an explosion this year, he played in 68 games, including 15.5 points per game in 67 starts, playing the best performance of his career, in fact, another reason for trading these two big players is to establish a team system with Chris Mullin as the core, this season, Mullin averaged 20.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game. But it still wasn't enough to help the team make the playoffs, in fact they actually only won 20 games all season, almost all the time they lost, they lost all the time, Mullin was still drinking, other players should be injured, trade trades, playing on the court, for them was just a routine clock-in, the atmosphere of the team was extremely frustrating, the most important step the Warriors made this season to build the team was to poach Don Nelson from the Milwaukee Bucks as a team manager and part-time head coach, the latter was a huge help to Chris Mullin, it was Nelson Sr., who saved Mullin's precarious career because of alcoholism!

Currently, Joe Barry Carroll has scored 9,996 points for the Warriors, ranking fifth in team history, ranking third with 4,068 rebounds, and second in team history with 836 blocks, and Sripe Floyd has 2,518 assists for the Warriors as a point guard, ranking fifth in team history and ninth in team history with 606 steals.

Just after the end of the 1987 season, the elder Nelson transferred Chris Mullin from the extremely uncomfortable No. 2 position to the No. 3 position, and sent him to the compulsory alcohol rehabilitation center for 47 days, these 47 days can be said to have made Chris Mullin reborn, fortunately, Mullin still has a little bit of control, he swore that he will never touch alcohol again in his life, he said so, and at the same time, in the next 24 years, no one has ever seen Mullin drink, since then, Mullin has made great strides in the direction of superstardom!

In the 1988-1989 season, Chris Mullin played 82 games. Averaging 26.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game, his performance was reborn at the same time, and in 1988, the Warriors' No. 5 rookie guard Mitch Richmond won the Rookie of the Year trophy with an outstanding performance, averaging 22.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, Terry Teague, who had been playing off the bench in previous seasons, was pushed to the starting line, averaging 15.2 points per game throughout the season, and Manute Ball, an interior big man poached from the Washington Bullets, performed well off the bench, averaging as many as 4.3 blocks per game in 22 minutesThis season, the Warriors are back in the playoffs with a 43-39 record under the leadership of Chris Mullin!

Coincidentally, the opponent of the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs is still the Jazz team with Utah double evil, but this Jazz team is still so many people, but they are all three years older, facing the younger and more impactful Warriors, the Jazz team has no power to parry at all, the Warriors easily advanced 3:0, Chris Mullin played a bug-like performance, averaging 32.7 points per game, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists, and the shooting rate was as high as 54.5%, Mitch Richmond doesn't look like a rookie in the playoffs at all, averaging 25.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game while shooting 58.0% from the field! In the second round of the playoffs, the Warriors encountered the Phoenix Suns with many good players, and after five big games, the Warriors lost 1:4, although the Warriors side Chris Mullin, Terry Teague and Mitch Richmond all played well, but the overall strength was insufficient, and the Warriors still hated the Western Conference semifinals.
