Kirill Sviridov explains why the “Golden State” – a unique champion

NBA Basketball built on stereotypes that have long been seen as an axiom. Everyone knows what material appearing great teams, never underestimate the heart of a champion; Victory is achieved through the destruction; self-sacrifice – the most important thing; it is impossible to win a star of the gathering; the path to the top takes more than one year and vykalivaet champion character; can not be defeated by the cast … and so on up to the “disease” more “. In nature, the NBA is all logical and verified by the experience of time. It is impossible to become a great, if you’re several years otdubasil not “bad guys” or “Big Trio”, led by the evil Pierce. Your club may be just the two best players in the top ten of all time, but you do not win, until a wise coach will not corrode the entire mold. Your best player can age for five years and lose the status of MVP, but the defeat mean much more than the first signs of approaching old age … But logically does not mean boring. NBA beautiful including the fact that I have more than any other league, and even overwhelms immutable truth.

This “Golden State” came in a rather limited list of commands that appear seemingly out of nowhere virtually . And achieved this, though ironically destroying all the stereotypes that used to operate in the NBA.

The “Golden State” the new owners ( and like petty tyrants), who last summer were not satisfied with the work of Mark Jackson, who had raised the team from the lower classes. But “syndrome of the new owner,” lolling “Nets” and “Sacramento” of reason is not affected.

The “Golden State” coach -novichok. Steve Kerr made a great head coach seemed to be a misunderstanding. He longed to see in her “the Knicks’ Phil Jackson, just as a man who knows how to work a triangular attack, and can communicate the ideas of the president. The owners of “Warriors” behaved like a dashing bar at the fair, and took a specialist who has never worked as a chief, appeared in recent years as a commentator and has earned a reputation as a not very lucky general manager. But Steve Kerr appeared almost genius and managed to transfer all of its stunning gaming experience – output command from any difficult situations that require the young that they were added to the passion, dedication to, that creates a championship team. One may show to his assistants, but the role of the head coach is indisputable.

The leader of the “Golden State” – a puny guard and point guards at all, even the most brilliant, will never fall short of the team to the finals themselves. Stephen Curry honorably continued the work begun by Mark Price and Steve Nash, but took a step into the future, towards the players, every movement which honed to automaticity and phenomenal speed becomes irresistible. The final series was like force to restrain the enthusiasm, but in vain. In its first final Curry did what was required of him – to create opportunities for the team. Perhaps he was nervous at first, perhaps, somewhere Dellavedova made him a little trouble … But in the end he threw all the shackles and the ship burned to ashes David Blatt.

We were told that self-sacrifice is necessary to study long and hard, at least a year, or even longer. Last summer, Robert Horry said that now even the children do not need to verbalize it – so was the alphabetic this truth. And by “Golden State,” it was obvious from the beginning: Igudala may grumble in the off-season, Bogut – noting that Steve Kerr first drew attention on him, the return to expect with caution – but the team with frightening ease overcome any internal difficulties. Everyone is familiar with the relationship between Kobe and Shakom, Shakom and Penny have all seen how long was mutual lapping at like best friends LeBron and Wade … But, “Golden State” is obtained as anybody. No one was happy Thompson 37 points as Curry. Standing bubnezh Green finished zatreshit on the floor, and Jesus perceived condescending entire team up to coach, he obkladyvayut on a regular basis. Lee waited patiently for his chance on the bench, but did not. Igudala wait – its transformation in the course of the season, during the playoffs and final series of the course to help the team to maintain its integrity and always remain the most biodiversity and dangerous.

«Golden State” – a team of the future, a fit best qualities of two past champions.

First , a more advanced version of the “hit” to their smollbollom. A decisive contribution to the final series brought five small with Green ( 201 cm), centering on the spot, rapid, tenacious and ready for any bargaining defense, surprisingly equally dangerous in attack, where even the defense of “Cleveland” broke, despite all the tricks Blatt, and defense. Chris Bosh could even remotely resemble the post, Greene most small forward, ready to knock Brain ( and scratch his back). The five, who runs faster “Phoenix” and firing with both hands. And it does not transfer any defense to attack. Although even here the “Golden State” immediately another stereotype: that only protection – a priority in the scoring title.

Second , a more advanced version of “San Antonio,” sung with their legends of the ball. The “Golden State” is not such a serious collision forces as Tim Duncan, but there is a more taut Boris represented Dreymonda Green ( ten assists in six games), committed by snipers and MVP, who can not only cut the defense as Parker, but almost magically convey the ball to the ring with a transcendent distance. The difference between passive and Duncan focused on the transfer and not to play in the post Bogut seems to be an insurmountable obstacle stood between the “Golden State” and “San Antonio”, between “rootless pulyalkami” and elite attack, but this obstacle has blown off when Curry unleashed on “Kevz” carpet bombing.

No one can say how this young team will develop further. After all, it is unique by the fact that Bob Myers made a feint, comparable in greatness that gave Jerry West in ’96: in the new collective agreement, he assembled a team that exceeds all leagues in depth composition of unique artists. somewhere it was an accident – Green throw repaired and brought up in the starting five players, Igudala demonstrated unprecedented patience for the NBA, Klay Thompson had left in exchange for the lava, and revealed how one of the best snipers, Stephen Curry showed that he had in mind when he said that exceeds LeBron James, grew Iseli … But for the most part turned out to be counted ( and the three best players of “Warriors” chosen in the draft). And now the team will change not only the external circumstances such as new contracts, but what will happen inside.

Only in this case is much more important than what we have now. “Golden State” – a unique champion. It seems to be a down to earth and does not claim to greatness ( differs from the “Spurs ‘Duncan,’ Hit the” LeBron and Wade, ” Lakers’ Kobe and Gasol). It is absolutely stunning, as makes you forget about all the axioms of the sport and appreciate the event as such. “Golden State” may repeat the fate of the “Pistons” -2004, simultaneous implementation of genius, who tried to jump up themselves after a single title. Can follow in the footsteps “Spurs” -99, when a new dynasty was born.

Do not guess. Do not underestimate their worth. “Golden State” – is the personification of the whole of last season, the unexpected, turns consciousness makes rethink everything we know. And that is enough.
