There are many reasons. Curry has more firepower on the bench. Curry starts Sun Hao's defensive pressure will double. Curry is not suitable for starting a championship team in terms of ability and experience as a rookie.

Old Nelson obviously has his multiple considerations.

First of all, there is a competition between the main players and the substitutes.

In this quarter, Sun Hao tended to pass more balls to Durant.

As mentioned earlier, he wanted to see the impact of adding the confrontation on Durant's shooting.

As it turns out, there is indeed an impact.

But, very limited!

You can even draw conclusions in advance, and Durant can completely adjust this impact during the season!

You have to admit that Durant's projection level is definitely at the historical level.

That is not just the result of training, but the talent.

Oden's performance was also better than he expected.

The "Emperor" who has become much more flexible not only has the deterrent power on the defensive end greatly, but the offensive end is no longer standing under the basket and waiting to feed the ball as last season.

He started to play and took the initiative to move within three seconds, even mentioned that he would pick-and-roll the teammates and then roll it.

All of these have greatly improved his offensive threat on the court.

Seeing the performance of the two, Sun Hao has obviously become more confident in the new season.

Thinking about what Kobe said before, Livingston had indeed declined in his individual skills if he replaced Curry.

But the improvement of Durant and Oden alone has completely made up for the gap.

Then, it was Curry.

When playing against the starting team, Curry's performance was pretty average, because the substitute's offense focused on Mageti.

However, when the substitute team and the bench team were fighting, Curry's performance was more impressive.

This has to start with the matchup on the field.

The one who matched Curry was Watson. He was originally Livingston's chief substitute and was a rotation member.

But before the new season began, he was assigned to the bench team.

Although Curry is the No. 4 show, this operation is normal.

But in this world, who would be willing to be trampled by others?

Especially a newcomer?

So even in the training match, Watson and Curry face each other's strength on both offense and defense ends is very high.

At first, Curry was not experienced enough and was suppressed by Watson for two rounds, but his bloodiness was also aroused.

Although he has a baby face and a good temper, Curry's competitive spirit is not bad at all.

Then in the next time, the confrontation became Curry's solo performance.

With three-pointers from the outside and a breakthrough layup, Curry fully demonstrated his scoring talent.

Moreover, Sun Hao could feel that Curry's overall strength has improved a lot compared to the summer league.

Curry mostly trained with Durant this summer, and it is reasonable to make progress.

Watson was helpless until the end because he found that he was indeed not as good as Curry.

The only experience advantage was also crushed in the face of talent.

At this time, you may have to popularize Curry’s cold knowledge.

Cold Knowledge 1: When Curry is on the side of his body, the number of 85 kg bench presses is 10 times!

That's right, it's the one that Durant rookie didn't push up at once.

And the number of 10 times is only 2 less than the big center like Arnold.

Then his deadlift also reached 181 kilograms, which ranked among the top defenders at that time.

This is also why he can easily complete a long and even a logo three-pointer.

Anyone who has played the ball knows that strength is the key factor that determines your shooting range.

When Sun Hao was able to play very far in La Liga, he also benefited from his outstanding strength.

Leng Zhi 2, Curry's bounce is 90.17 cm, and for comparison, Westbrook is 91.44 cm!

Some people say no, the bounce is so close, why is Westbrook flying and hiding in the earth, but Curry only has the joke like "Golden State Lavender" in history?

The main reason for this is that Curry has a poor wingspan, not to mention Westbrook, but Sun Hao is much worse than Sun Hao.

Then, Curry himself is the speed of his point guard. His penalty area back-running was 11.07 seconds, which was only 0.02 seconds slower than Devin Harris, who broke the Guinness World Record, and 3.28 seconds back-running was 3/4!

So, except for the shortcomings of Curry's age, short wingspan and thin body, his other talents are among the best among defenders.

Watson may subconsciously be like many people think that Curry can get the fourth pick because of Sun Hao.

But in fact, Curry's strength is in that position!

So in the end, he was left with only shaking his head.

After a training class, the happiest person was Old Nelson.

Because in addition to what Sun Hao saw, he also saw Sun Hao’s progress!

Although Sun Hao did not deliberately show it, how could Old Nelson not be able to detect the ability to control the ball?

Just the past summer, the team's progress in all aspects can really be said to have made him a big surprise!

Although he had some luck in the Western Conference Finals last year, this year, not only did he go to the Western Conference Finals again, but even facing the Clippers, he was obviously more confident.

...

After the training class, Durant and Oden were both very excited.

Sun Hao saw their progress, and they also saw each other's progress.

Their self-confidence is the highest since the NCAA.

"I feel like we are now like the NCAA's five Michigan tigers."

Durant spoke.

Although the Michigan Five Tigers did not win the NCAA, a legend has a high status in the minds of players.

Durant made this metaphor to show that his self-confidence has reached a certain level.

"I think we should have a brand new way to enter the new season."

Oden, who was beside him, nodded.

"Then you also have to choose a new entry background music and make that into our battle song."
