If James had no complaints and was willing to do the job that Draymond Green would do in the future, then the Warriors would be unbeatable!
80 wins in a season is not a dream!
But Deng Fang knew that this was impossible!
James is so high-spirited that no matter where he goes, he will never be the second best!
But asking Curry to be the second-in-command would not work for Deng Fang!
There is no need to ask Curry about this!
If you ask Shaku, he will definitely agree to James' request!
Curry agrees, but Deng Fang doesn’t agree either!
"You said before that James will definitely leave the Cavaliers this summer. Do you still think so now?"
"Do you still think I'm talking nonsense?" Deng Fang asked back: "James is leaving the Cavaliers. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it now."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because James can't win with the Cavaliers and can't win a championship!" Deng Fang replied: "He wants to compete for the first person in history! How is it possible without a championship!"
"If I beat you in the finals, if I won the championship, wouldn't James leave?"
"This is not possible!" Deng Fang replied: "Without me, James wouldn't even be able to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!"
This season in history, the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals and did not advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
It was because Deng Fang healed James' elbow injury that the Cavaliers reversed the Celtics.
It was because Deng Fang healed O'Neal's injury that the Cavaliers had someone to deal with Howard and reached the finals.
Without Deng Fang, the Cavaliers wouldn't even be able to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!
Historically, it was for this reason that James left the Cavaliers.
In order to retain James, the Cavaliers have used up all their salary space. The team has the second highest salary in the league and there is no possibility of operation!
There is no future at all if you stay with the Cavaliers!
That's why James chose to run away.
"James said that the Warriors are the Big Three, so the Cavaliers lost. What do you think of this?"
"As long as James cannot beat the team, they are all the Big Three. As long as James' team loses, the blame must fall on his teammates. Am I right?" Deng Fang asked.
The reporters in the audience burst into laughter.
After a pause, Deng Fang continued: "The Warriors are not the Big Three. The Warriors are the Big Five, the Big Six. Lopez, Azubuike, Prince, Belinelli, and Livingston are all giants. As long as you come here
The Warriors are all giants, and anyone around Curry can become a star!
On the contrary, the Cavaliers are different. No matter they are giants or stars, they will become ordinary players when they come to the Cavaliers, and they will become garbage that no one wants!"
"You mean James wastes his teammates?"
"That's not necessarily the case," Deng Fang said: "If you are a role player, you will get better with James, but if you are a star or a superstar, you will be at risk of being useless if you are with James."
What Deng Fang said was true, and reporters had no objections.
"As the Finals MVP, Curry led the team to sweep James. Do you think Curry can become the number one player in the league?"
"If Curry isn't it, who else do you think is? James? Does a defeated player have the right to call himself the best player in the league?" Deng Fang asked rhetorically.
"So what is Curry's advantage over James?"
"For shooting, Curry's three-pointers are much more accurate than James's. This is his biggest advantage." Deng Fang said: "Basketball is essentially a sport about putting the ball into the basket. James' shooting is unstable.
Lack of three-point ability is fine for a blue-collar player, but it is a fatal flaw for a superstar. When everyone knows that you are going to the basket, fools know to shrink the defense, so that it will be difficult for you to break out.
The basket went down."
"So what are Curry's weaknesses?"
"The body is thin and easily injured," Deng Fang said, "but with me here, this is not a problem."
Historically, Curry has struggled with injuries early in his career, which is also an important reason for his late blooming.
Of course, it's not too late to say it's too late, but because of injuries, Curry will definitely not be able to shine as soon as he enters the league!
Now with Deng Fang, everything is completely different!
This season Deng Fang has treated Curry 5 times!
There are many season-ending injuries among them!
Without Deng Fang, Curry's rookie season would have been a bitter memory again.
"What are your expectations for Curry next season?"
"Double MVP plus FMVP!" Deng Fang said.
"What are your goals for next season?"
"Defending the championship." Deng Fang said: "Our goal is very clear, which is the championship!"
"Are there any changes for you next season?"
"Of course it will change!" Deng Fang replied: "We will trade some capable players to make our team configuration more reasonable."
What?
Will the Warriors’ lineup change?
You are the overall champion!
Are you still going to change the team lineup?
Isn't this seeking death?
The Warriors won the championship. According to convention, the winning team generally does not make personnel changes.
Winning the championship proves that your configuration is reasonable and the team members cooperate well.
The results may be better if the lineup is changed, but no matter how good the results are, what will happen?
It’s not like winning the championship!
Since there is no problem with the existing lineup, the best option is to stand still!
But standing still means that everything about you is in the open, and it will be much easier for other teams in the league to study you.
After all, you have played this lineup for a whole season, and everyone is familiar with your routines.
In addition, the defending champion plays many more games than other teams every season, and the intensity of the games is much higher.
The result is more injuries.
This is also a problem that all defending champions face.
If your lineup remains unchanged, you will suffer more injuries, and your tactics will be thoroughly studied by your opponents.
Once the lineup changes, the uncertainty will greatly increase.
This is a dilemma.
Just like a person facing two roads in the deep mountains and old forests.
A road is wide and flat, and you can walk it once, but there are many enemies.
The other road is winding and muddy, no one has walked on it, but there are very few enemies.
Which path will you choose?
Most of the defending champions choose the first path.
Many enemies?
We have already walked through it once, and all our enemies have been defeated by us!
The enemy studies us, and our experience becomes richer.
Although there are few enemies when taking the second path, there are also many uncertainties.
Who knows what the outcome will be?
Specifically, no matter who it is, injuries are uncontrollable.
The lineup has changed and there may be injuries.
In this case, it is better to keep the lineup unchanged, make the team more stable, and follow the path that has been traveled once.
It is for this reason that the reporter was very surprised by Deng Fang's answer.
