Chapter 355: The Usurper Lauf
The Warriors are not only strong because they have the first person in the league, even if Curry Jr. is strong, averaging 35 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds per game, but this is not enough to lead the team to win.
And if teammates are too weak, then Curry Jr.'s double-digit assists are out of the question. The Golden State Warriors are now paying the league's No. 1 luxury tax, and in addition to Curry Jr.'s salary cap, three starters are close to the cap. None of them are superstars, but everyone is integral to the team.
Needless to say, McCann, the 'giant' is not weak, and the most important thing is that a player of this height can also dribble and organize the offense, and the bottom corner three-point can come with his hands open. Across the league, McCann is probably the best spacing center.
Quarterback Raugh is not weak, although this player is a little less interesting than his predecessor, after all, his catch-and-shoot skills are still a little worse. Rauf is the kind of guy who needs to play with the ball, so everyone is not optimistic that he can get along with Curry Jr.
In the end, the Warriors couldn't find a better replacement, so they are now just reluctantly using the Raugh with the bench and adding to the team's offensive power in the starters.
The Warriors' small forward Yaris is also very strong, and although he may not be ranked in the league, his long arms are a defensive weapon. In particular, the body is explosive, and the face frame skill is almost full. So he's also Curry Jr.'s favorite assister besides the center.
The big forward is relatively inferior, weighing 110 kilograms and 2.09 meters tall. This player can't be said to be a complete blue-collar player, after all, although he is heavy, he also has a three-point shot.
The Golden State Warriors' starters haven't lost a game this year. So the audience at the scene also sweated for the Lakers' winning streak. Regardless, they are hoping that the home team can break the historical record.
Now Zhang Yi's strength is infinitely close to the peak of Curry Jr., so for them, the Lakers' lineup should not lose to the Warriors.
Of course, all this is uncertain, the hidden dangers of the newcomers are there, and the warriors are all strong players who have already been played. Once the intensity of this game is raised, it is really difficult to say the final result.
After a steal, Lauf's already smiling face became nervous, as their team's head coach disliked such low-level mistakes the most.
Although Zhang Yi's steal was sudden, and it was still unexpected, in the final analysis, it was Laofu's own carelessness. When a team at this level plays each other, the slightest mistake can affect the final result.
The Warriors are controlled by Curry Jr., and his recommendation speed is actually not fast, after all, he has also played in the NBA for 14 seasons, and his career of blindly playing fast and running has long passed.
But even if it's not fast, the Warriors' offense is very efficient. Not only because of Curry's attacking power, but also because of his ability to lead the whole team.
Not only does he have three points, but the other four have outside ability, and in addition to mid-to-long shots, he can also play inside. It can be said that the configuration of this team is just enough to bring out all the power of Curry's team brain.
This time Zhang Yi was originally chasing Yaris, but after running with Lauf, he lost his pursuit ability as strong as him. This shows how strong Lauf's ability to respond.
Curry Jr. immediately assisted the unmarked Yaris to take off and score a dunk! There was also an exclamation at the scene. Of course, this attack is beautiful, and they are equivalent to scoring from Zhang Yi's head, which is even more rare.
For a team that has won a five-point championship in 6 years, an offense like this is simply easy, and without this level of strength, it is simply delusional.
The Warriors' counter-stealing ability is also top-notch. When the Lakers passed the ball from the baseline, Laoff didn't expect to return to the defense, but stole a ball from an unexpected place in the hands of Wali and immediately turned over and scored two points.
"Pay you back!" Rauf said with a smug expression. Of course, he felt that the first attack in the opening game was Wali's revenge by feigning a steal and covering Zhang Yi.
Wall-E also looked helpless, after all, this mistake should not have happened. The strength of the Warriors is reflected in every aspect, and this game must not be played as if it were any previous game.
Seeing his brother's frustrated expression, Zhang Yi also patted him on the shoulder, "No problem, just pay attention in the future." ”
A ball like this would have been taken by surprise, and who would have thought that Lauf would have such a strong sense of revenge. But this is actually the reason why he deserves the highest salary.
Low's offensive ability is obviously not at the top, especially since he is not so compatible with Curry Jr., but it is this careful eye that has contributed to his evolution every year.
It can be said that the strongest basketball players on the planet are playing together, and having this kind of character is a huge challenge in itself. In an interview, Raugh also stated that from the day he joined the Warriors, he believed that sooner or later he would surpass Curry Jr.
Of course, this is just a good wish, although Rauf is getting better and better, but as long as Curry Jr. is with the Warriors for one day, this team belongs to him.
But Rauf is also about to get out of the way, after all, Curry Jr. said that this is his last season, so it must be like this. Although he is a teammate, he knows that Curry Jr. still has the strength to fight, and it can be said that his strength will not weaken in two or three years.
But as such a competitive player, Rauf can also understand Curry Jr.'s decision, after all, it is unimaginable for the fans who admire him the most to see the day when the historical superstar idol can't play on the court.
So Raugh is the teammate who hates Curry Jr. the most, but he is also the player who has worked the most hard to get him to retire with honor. So when Curry Jr. is resting, Raugh always puts out his best form. Attracting people's attention and taking advantage of the opportunity to grab the board next season is of course one of the goals.
But more of a concern is that Raugh wants the Warriors to have no regrets this season. As it turned out, Curry Jr. won all the games he played, and in the games he rested, Raugh led four games and lost three......
People know how strong Rauf is, but they also believe that he will not be a good team leader. In this game against the rising Lakers, he wants to prove to those who don't believe in him that even if Curry Jr. doesn't play much, the Warriors will win.
It's not clear who the team will be next year's Warriors, and even Curry Jr. may have a purge after he retires, but Lauf's belief now is simple, he wants to stay and become the new leader here!
