There are talented people in the country, and they all have been leading the way for hundreds of years. In the NBA world, the peak period of a generation of superstars is usually about ten years. James, Durant, Curry, Harden and Kat once ruled an era, but as the saying goes, the new generation pushes the old generation forward, and the new generation replaces the old. A group of young superstars have made their debut and gradually replaced their positions.

The Lakers, who played for James, were eliminated 1-4 in the first round, and Harden and Kat were eliminated 3-4 in the first round, and Durant did not even make the playoffs. The Warriors who Curry played for were dragged into the tiebreak by the young Rockets, and they were going to play the tiebreak away, which looked very unfavorable.

When Edwards rushed to the basket tirelessly, James was exhausted until the power was cut off in the last quarter and the fire was dull. James once flew to the sky and jumped higher than Edwards, and it was no problem to play for 48 minutes in the playoffs. But now he is 40 years old, he is always dragged down by physical fitness in the final quarter.

35-year-old Harden and 34-year-old Ka also experienced the feeling of decline in athletic ability. Facing Jokic, who was at the peak, they fought to the tiebreak battle, but there was a collapse. Durant's sun is in endless civil strife and needs to think carefully about which city he will bring his remaining talent this summer.

They were once the masters who dominate the NBA, and James, Durant and Curry were all double MVPs. Xiaoka won the MVP in the finals two times. Although Harden did not win the championship and the finals MVP, he was crowned the scoring champion three times, won the regular season MVP once, and led the team to the Western Conference Finals, fought seven games with the Warriors, and almost reached the finals. Has the era of the older generation of superstars really come to an end? Harden and Xiaoka join forces to see no hope of winning the championship. Durant failed to realize his wish to win the championship in both the Nets and the Suns, and this season has fallen into a career trough.

James also handed over the leader's scepter in the Lakers, allowing Doncic to take over the offensive power. He began to play more offenses without the ball and needed to focus on defense. He is changing towards the helper.

They are now sure to miss the championship this season, and only Curry is left to lead the Warriors to seek a tiebreak battle to break through the blockade of Houston.

The Warriors led 3-1, but were won by the Rockets two consecutive games and dragged into the tiebreak battle. For the Warriors, the situation of their goal to play the tiebreak in the Rockets' territory is very unfavorable. Curry was troubled by a serious injury to his right thumb, and now his right thumb joint has swollen like a walnut.

Curry also faces the two defensive players Amen Thompson and Dillon, as well as the double-teams of other Rockets players. Curry, 37, faces huge challenges in the battle of life and death. The Warriors suffer from the inside, while the Rockets have a super strong inside, and coach Uduka has brought his advantages to the extreme, focusing on the double tower tactics, and firmly controlling the inside.

As the saying goes, those who win the inside will win the world, and the Warriors need to make up for the gap in the inside. Cole has planned to let Kumingga return to the rotation lineup, but no one can tell what effect it can have. If the Warriors want to break through in the tiebreak, they still have to count on Curry to perform super godly. Curry has two crazy performances of 50+ this season. The stubborn Curry will not give up easily, and he will fight to the end even if he has a glimmer of chance.
