No matter how difficult it was, the Warriors successfully defended their title!
Although James injured Curry twice in a row, he failed in the end.
It's a perfect season for Warriors fans!
73 wins and 9 losses, breaking the regular season record set by Jordan, and finally successfully defended the title. Curry once again won two MVPs!
Throughout the entire season, including the regular season and playoffs, the Warriors only lost one game at home!
The opponent in that game was the Cavaliers, who were last in the league!
Everyone can see that Deng Fang just wanted to disgust James during that game!
Warriors fans are also very happy to see such a scene!
Even if they lost, Warriors fans were still happy in that game!
It’s a good feeling to have the god of learning occasionally give up the exam and experience the life of a bad student!
In addition, Oracle wins almost every home game!
Every game is a carnival for the fans!
16:0 record in the playoffs!
All four rounds were swept!
Including facing the top three in the finals!
If a season like this is not perfect, then there is no such thing as a perfect season.
For the Warriors owner, this is also a perfect season.
Whenever the Warriors play a home game, the stadium is packed with fans!
The price of tickets for the Warriors' home games is the most expensive in the league, twice as high as the second-place Lakers!
Even so, Warriors home game tickets are still being sold in the scalper market, and they are often hard to get!
The football market is booming and sponsors are coming in an endless stream!
After one season, Warriors owner Cohan made a lot of money and was happy from ear to ear all day long!
It feels so good to sit at home and count money!
Although Deng Fang's salary is very high, and although Deng Fang also wants to take a share of the pie, it is earned through his strength.
Just make real money by yourself!
For Deng Fang, this is a perfect season.
I made several big trades during the offseason under pressure, and the media and fans questioned myself, but finally achieved success. This feels so good!
With an unparalleled record of 73 wins and 9 losses, I pretend to be crazy before the game, see who can defeat whom during the game, and have the best viewing position in the league. The sense of accomplishment in this job is simply unparalleled!
The most important thing is that Deng Fang also made a lot of money from the boss!
A record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season earned Deng Fang a total of US$6.85 million, and a record of 16 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs earned Deng Fang a total of US$12 million!
In total, Deng Fang earned a total of US$18.85 million this season!
This annual salary is super high!
It can be said that it is unprecedented and unprecedented!
In addition, he successfully defended his title and helped the Warriors win their second championship. According to the contract, Deng Fang also received 10% of the Warriors' shares again!
This 10% stake is worth at least US$50 million!
With the current hot market for the Warriors, 80 million is not a problem!
You know, Deng Fang already owns 10% of the Warriors' shares after winning the championship last year. This part of the shares also received dividends this year, which is also a lot of money!
In addition, Deng Fang also made a lot of money through medical treatment.
Deng Fang earned 5 million by treating Caron Butler, 10 million by treating Rudy Gay, and 14.5 million by treating James!
In total, Deng Fang earned nearly 30 million just by treating illnesses!
If Deng Fang accepts the invitation during the regular season, he will earn even more.
With an outstanding record, leading the team to win the championship, and earning a lot of money, Deng Fang can be said to be a real winner in life!
…
The finals are over and the parade to celebrate the championship is over? Deng Fang can finally rest for some time.
But before taking a vacation, Deng Fang still has one important thing to do? That is the draft and player transactions!
The last game of the finals will be played on June 8th, and there will be a celebration parade on June 15th? The draft will be held on June 24th.
Logically speaking, teams like the Warriors have little interest in the draft.
No matter how good a rookie is, he is still a rookie? Very few rookies directly enter the rotation.
The Warriors are the defending champions, what do they need?
That’s combat power!
Therefore, championship teams rarely strengthen through the draft!
Of course, this is also because the championship teams have relatively low draft picks and the players they select are of average quality.
NBA draft picks are related to the team's record. The better the record? The lower the draft pick.
The Warriors ranked first in regular season record, so their draft pick was No. 30 in the first round!
This pick is the same as the second round? There is no hope of picking a good player.
Of course? It's not absolutely impossible? But the probability is about the same as buying a lottery ticket.
But the Warriors don’t just have one draft pick this year!
During the offseason last year, the Warriors made a deal with the Jazz in exchange for Kirilenko.
Because no one was interested in Kirilenko's big contract? And because the Jazz's salary space was very tight, when the Warriors took over Kirilenko's contract, the Jazz gave the Warriors a first-rounder and a second-rounder!
Who would have thought that Kirilenko would be useless with the Jazz, but would be full of life with the Warriors!
His arsenic? My honey!
If a tree is moved, it will die? If a person is moved, it will live!
What the Jazz need is a scorer? Outside shooters, which is a bit difficult for Kirilenko.
In the Warriors, Kirilenko only needs to defend well and occasionally throw three-pointers from the outside!
Even if he is throwing three-pointers, due to the gravitational force of Library, Kirilenko gets more open spaces in the Warriors and can shoot more calmly!
And because of the existence of Curry, Kirilenko played more of a setter role, which is the role of Dream Green in the pick-and-roll of later generations!
This role is obviously more suitable for Kirilenko!
Kirilenko also has more presence on the court!
If the Jazz had known that Deng Fang wanted Kirilenko, they probably would have asked the Warriors for at least one first round before letting him go.
But they don’t know all this!
Warriors general manager Tim also did a great job, completely concealing Deng Fang's true intentions.
The Warriors have a lot of salary space, and the Jazz want salary space. It seems like the Warriors simply want to use the salary space to earn two draft picks!
This totally makes sense!
Jazz had no doubts.
There was no way, Kirilenko was really ignored in the market at that time!
$17.82 million a year!
More than James!
If you remove 10 million, few teams would be interested!
It is for these reasons that the Warriors earned a first-rounder and a second-rounder from the Jazz!
The Jazz gave the Warriors a jack-of-all-trades player and two draft picks!
Seeing that Kirilenko is in such a hot state now, the Jazz may regret it so much that their intestines are green!
There is nothing we can do about it!
Only Deng Fang can pick up such a bargain!
Deng Fang knows a player’s true ability and is not afraid of the player’s injuries!
Deng Fang dares to ask for players that many teams dare not ask for!
This is the information gap!
Due to Sloan's resignation and Boozer's departure from the Bulls, the Jazz's record plummeted this season and they were only ranked twelfth in the Western Conference!
Taken together, the Jazz's final draft pick was No. 11.
This is a very ideal position!
Why?
Because Deng Fang took a fancy to one of the rookie players!
who?
His name is Klay Thompson!
right!
Klay Thompson!
Deng Fang is a Warriors fan. Before he traveled through time, his favorite was Curry, and the other one was Clay!
In other words, Deng Fang’s favorites are Curry and Clay, in no particular order!
Splash brothers, never be separated!
Historically, Curry was selected by the Warriors with the seventh overall pick in 2009, while Klay was selected by the Warriors with the 11th overall pick in the summer of 2011!
If the Warriors only had their own draft picks, they would miss Klay Thompson!
The combination of Klay and Curry can be said to be a match made in heaven, they are a perfect match!
Curry's three-pointer is accurate, and Klay is also invincible!
If there is really one person who can surpass Curry, it can only be Klay!
Because of Curry's incredible shooting ability, he always attracts a lot of attention from his opponents on the court, and most opponents will double-team Curry!
There is no way, Curry is too accurate!
This is also the reason why many teams' defensive strategies when facing the Warriors are "you can lose the game, but you can't let Curry go"!
As long as you guard Curry, you can win!
Even if he loses, as long as Curry doesn't show off his power, the loss won't be too ugly!
And once Curry gets his full firepower, losing is a matter of minutes!
The key is that losing will look ugly!
This is why Curry can't release it!
How can we prevent opponents from flanking Curry?
That is to put a shooter as good as Curry on the court!
And the more the merrier!
Of course, a shooter as good as Curry must be a historical shooter, which is rare!
Curry is very lucky, Klay happens to be such a player!
Even if you look at the entire NBA, Klay's three-pointers rank among the top three!
This is still the case when Curry is in front of Klay!
As long as Clay is on the court, opponents will not dare to attack Curry unscrupulously!
If he dares, Clay will severely punish his opponent with his accurate three-pointers!
In addition, Klay's greatness lies in his very good defense!
With his strong body and good height, Clay can defend from the 1st position to the 3rd position, and even occasionally defends the 4th position alone without suffering a disadvantage!
This is so important to Curry!
Curry works very hard on the defensive end, but due to his physical condition, it is always difficult to defend.
Especially when switching defenses, Curry is even more likely to be targeted by his opponents!
So Curry needs someone to wipe his ass on the defensive end.
Clay is the best choice!
Accurate three-pointers and good defense. There is a name for such a player, it is called 3D!
Clay is the best in 3D!
It can be said that no matter which team, they need players like Clay!
Especially the championship contending teams!
He doesn’t need the ball, is accurate in three-pointers, plays good defense, and has a humble and low-key personality. Who wouldn’t like a player like this?!
Beyond that, Curry and Klay are similar in many ways.
Curry and Klay both come from athletic families. Curry's father and Thompson's father were both basketball players when they were young and were rivals on the court.
Their mothers were also top volleyball players in college. Not only that, the two mothers met their two fathers in exactly the same way. They both met their future husbands in the gym. It was a classic love at first sight.
Since Curry's father and Klay's father were both NBA players, both of them have good family backgrounds.
Therefore, compared with Iverson, James and others who came from poor families, Curry and Clay have very good tutors. Both of them have humble and gentle personalities and are polite in dealing with others!
Of course, Curry is a little better in this regard.
Curry got married very early, and Curry's sister-in-law is very close to Curry, for fear that other women will steal her away from her.
Of course, Curry himself is also a good man, and his debauchery has nothing to do with him, and no gossip has ever been spread about Curry!
Since Clay has never been married, hanging out in private is indispensable.
And Clay has never lacked women around him.
But it doesn't hurt.
Men, this is perfectly normal!
Especially young men!
Of course, besides Curry, Clay also has a good partner, and that is o!
Clay almost always takes o with him wherever he goes.
The Splash Brothers in history have a very good relationship. Ever since Clay entered the NBA and was drafted by the Warriors, Curry and Clay have been fighting together. The two have established a deep friendship!
In Curry's heart, Splash has always been one, and he and Ahua will fight against the world together!
As for Tang Shen, his emotional expression is restrained, but if he can only choose one between Curry and O, he will definitely choose Curry!
Curry and Clay are good friends. Although they don't often get together in private, they are the best partners in the world on the court!
How can the Splash Brothers only have Curry, and now Klay is the only one left!
So Deng Fang wants to win Clay in the draft!
This pick assisted by the Jazz is very critical!
Of course, in addition to acquiring Clay in the draft, Deng Fang also has to make several transactions.
First, Deng Fang instructed general manager Tim to trade Jordan to the Clippers.
Historically, DeAndre Jordan spent most of his time with the Clippers after entering the NBA. However, the Clippers have failed to make the playoffs in the past two years, so Deng Fang was able to keep DeAndre Jordan with the Warriors.
Apart from Lopez, the Warriors only have one orthodox center in DeAndre Jordan.
DeAndre Jordan was drafted by the Clippers with the 35th overall pick in 2008. His performance was average at first.
When the Warriors traded for DeAndre Jordan the year before last, DeAndre Jordan was inconspicuous, so the Warriors didn't pay much.
But in the past two years with the Warriors, Jordan has made rapid progress and performed very well.
Jordan has excellent physical fitness, although his skills are rough, but with Curry, Livingston, and Lowry around, he doesn't need to do anything else, just alley-oop dunks!
As long as there is a good defender, Jordan can fly!
Such a center is very popular!
The system has reminded Deng Fang that Jordan will not be able to stay with the Warriors next season.
The Clippers will definitely make the playoffs next season. DeAndre Jordan has historically made the playoffs with the Clippers, so the Warriors can't have DeAndre Jordan.
Therefore, Deng Fang must trade Jordan away.
The trade partner can only be the Clippers!
General manager Tim was very puzzled by this and repeatedly confirmed with Deng Fang whether he heard correctly.
DeAndre Jordan's annual salary is less than one million, and he still has one year left on his contract. Based on DeAndre Jordan's performance, this contract is extremely valuable. Why should he be traded away?
