The system's requirements for treatment are very clear. One is a Warriors player, and the other is a potential opponent of the Warriors in the playoffs.
The regular season is an encounter, and everyone just fights and leaves.
If Deng Fang treats players from other teams during the regular season, it is likely to affect the team's strength and ultimately change this season's record rankings.
Except for the Warriors, the strength of other teams in the regular season is as unchanged as possible.
Only in this way can Deng Fang's coaching ability be tested.
Therefore, Deng Fang cannot treat players from other teams during the regular season.
Teams that made it to the playoffs but didn’t meet the Warriors won’t do either!
It’s even worse for teams that don’t make the playoffs!
So Deng Fang rejected the Clippers' request.
It's not that Deng Fang doesn't want to make this money, but the system won't let him.
Of course, Deng Fang really didn't like this small amount of money.
Griffin is very good, but he is a rookie.
Even if he is the No. 1 pick, Griffin's annual salary last year was only US$4.98 million!
Less than five million!
According to convention, the cost of seeking treatment from Deng Fang is directly related to the player's annual salary.
Some are half the annual salary, and some are a little more than half, but no matter what, it will not exceed the annual salary of treating players.
Therefore, Griffin's medical treatment will not exceed US$5 million.
Under normal circumstances, it is 2.5 million.
Compared to James' 13 million and O'Neal's 20 million, this amount of money is so worthless!
Although Deng Fang has a lot of abilities, he still has to use them sparingly.
In the playoffs, the consumption of ability points will be doubled!
By the conference finals, it will be doubled!
The finals is 16 times!
Deng Fang's ability is not enough to treat Curry's illness in the finals - if Curry is seriously injured!
Who knows?
Besides, Deng Fang doesn’t have to worry about buyers.
In the playoffs, there are many teams looking for Deng Fang for treatment!
At that time, their needs are more urgent and they feel more comfortable spending money!
Of course, the Clippers are not too anxious.
Griffin has been resting for more than half a year, including the last two or three months.
The focus of the Clippers in the new season is to train Griffin and let him grow up as quickly as possible.
This Clippers team is mostly made up of young players, full of impact but limited toughness.
Gordon is the boss of the Clippers on the outside. He can shoot quickly and is a seriously underestimated star.
Griffin has excellent physical fitness, and what he is best at is dunking on every other player.
However, both of them are players who focus more on offense than defense, and neither one can be the boss.
It's too easy to deal with a team like this.
The Warriors took down the Clippers without any effort.
Not only a win, but a big win, a 46-point win!
Lowry performed very well in this game, making 6 of 10 three-pointers and scoring 29 points.
This is a qualitative leap for a player whose three-point shooting percentage was less than 30% last season.
This shows how hard Lowry trained during the offseason!
Deng Fang did not misjudge the person.
Lowry feels hot, and Curry feels much more relaxed.
Curry only played 15 minutes in this game and scored 21 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds.
There is no way, the time is too short, the data can only be shrunk.
But Curry doesn't care either.
As long as we win, as long as our teammates perform well, and as long as everyone is happy, then there will be no problem with Curry.
This is also what Deng Fang likes most about Curry!
He is capable but also selfless, he is funny and has a tough character at the same time. How could such a player not be liked?
…
After the Clippers are the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies have performed well this season, mainly because the team has established a positional battle mode with the two bears as the core.
Last season was Black Bear Zach Randolph's first season with the Grizzlies. He performed well and won the Grizzlies' scoring title as soon as he arrived.
During the offseason, the Grizzlies determined the core position of the Black and White Bears. Randolph of the Black Bear was the main offensive player, and Gasol of the White Bear was the main defender. The team focused on positional offense and defense, and the rhythm was very slow.
This style is very counter-trend in today's era.
In order to cooperate with the Black and White Bears, the Grizzlies also traded Tony Allen from the Celtics and lowered Mayo's status a lot.
In this way, the Grizzlies have formed an extremely terrifying starting lineup: center Gasol, power forward Zach Randolph, small forward Rudy Gay, shooting guard Tony Allen, and point guard Conley.
Among them, Gasol, Tony Allen and Conley are all defensive heroes, and Rudy Gay's defensive ability is also excellent.
Even Randolph's positional defense is good.
A team with such a lineup is something that no opponent dares to underestimate.
Playing against a Grizzlies, even if you win, you still have to shed a layer of skin!
After only playing a few games in the new season, this has become the consensus of all teams in the league!
But such a team is like a younger brother to the Warriors!
What are the characteristics of grizzly bears?
Positional warfare is just a word!
Don't shoot three-pointers, just hit the inside and fight hand-to-hand!
If you fall into the rhythm of a grizzly bear, of course you will be very annoyed.
But the Warriors ignored the Grizzlies at all!
Why?
Because the Warriors have Curry!
Curry is a nightmare for almost all inside players!
Curry is a nightmare for almost all teams that focus on the inside!
You managed to score two points in a hand-to-hand fight in the paint, and I turned around and scored a three-pointer!
Zach Randolph is known as an inside offensive killer, but his highest shooting percentage in a season was only 50%!
100 shots are just 100 points!
And Curry's three-point shooting percentage has never been lower than 40%!
Even if calculated at the lowest 40%, Curry would have scored 120 points in 100 three-point shots!
Much more efficient than Randolph!
Even O'Neal, the strongest inside killer in NBA history and the one with the most dunks, only has a career shooting percentage of 58.2%!
Not counting this last year, O'Neal's previous season with the highest shooting percentage was only 61%!
You know, O'Neal has a lot of dunks!
Give O'Neal 100 shots, and he only scores 122 points!
This was Olney's most efficient season.
At best, the efficiency is the same as Curry!
The most important thing is that Curry helps his teammates more than insider players like Randolph and O'Neal!
Curry's efficiency with the ball in hand is as good as anyone's, but Curry's efficiency and role without the ball are unrivaled!
If Randolph doesn't have the basketball in his hands, his teammates have fewer offensive options.
Either he shoots a three-pointer against the defense from the outside, or he makes a sudden pass.
Because there is Randolph standing under the basket, because the team's offensive space cannot be opened!
As long as Curry stands on the court, even if he doesn't have the ball in his hand and doesn't run, he can attract the attention of at least one opponent's player!
But as long as Curry is on the court, he rarely stops!
As long as Curry is on the court, he can attract most of the opponent's players' attention!
As long as Curry plays, the space on the Warriors' court will be widened, and his teammates will have many open opportunities!
Sudden or thrown, it doesn’t matter!
How can such a player exist that can be compared to an inside position player?!
