Green talked about 20 points behind in 17 years and was given a foothold: The Warriors were invincible that year, and they could not lead by 40 points.

2017 should be a year when many non-Warriors fans were reluctant to let it go. In the G1 of the playoffs Western Conference Finals, Spurs player Leonard (Ka Xiao) was plastered by Warriors player Zaza Pachuria in an offense, resulting in a serious ankle sprain and was directly reimbursed for the season. This incident became the turning point of the series.
At that time, there were 7 minutes and 56 seconds left in the third quarter of the game. The Spurs led the Warriors 75-55 by 20 points, but when Ka's shot landed, Pachuria, who was defending him, took a step forward on the path of Leonard's whereabouts, and his left foot was directly at Leonard's foot.
In the end, Ka was injured and the Spurs were swept out 4-0 by the Warriors.
Recently, Dream Green participated in the program on the "TheTylilShow Live" channel and talked about the dominance of the Warriors in 2017.
The host asked, "I really thought Leonard would deal with you because he was leading you 20 points before leaving the court, and no one could defend him at all. Aldridge was in your inside line, and you had no choice but to do anything to him."
Green said, "Come on! Brother, he only played one game, and he was injured and left the court in just two quarters. You can't just watch two quarters. It was a series. If he was not injured, he might be able to play one or two games, but it can be said that the winner will definitely be us."

"And if you really pay attention to that season, you will know how terrifying our third quarter is, and it is simply an invincible existence. That year, if you didn't lead us 40 points when entering the third quarter, the most You will still lose in the end. Leonard is indeed very powerful, but he will not really give us trouble. As for others, there is no ability. "
"That year, we were all very confident. No one thought we would lose. Even if we were behind, everyone believed that we could recover. That kind of self-confidence was really strong, and all players believed that we would win in the end. In the end, we also won the championship with this belief. What is this? This is dominance!"
Some people say that Popovich saw the Warriors clearly that year, and was waiting to deal with them in the playoffs. He said that the Warriors' weakness was in the inside and was beaten by Aldridge at the peak and Gasol at the end. Green and Pachuria could not defend themselves at all. But Cole definitely dared not to subdue the two of them, so there are two non-shooting points on the court, so he basically defends 5 and 3. Moreover, Katie Jr. continuously pressed Durant into the best team that year, and Durant, who was defending the defensive end, shot only 30% of the shooting percentage.
Then the substitute Spurs also have an advantage, because Ginobili is there, and the intensity of the finals is there. If Xiaoka is not allowed to step down, the ending may not be the one who wins.
Some fans also said that even if Xiaoka is not injured, the Spurs will only win two games at most, and the gap in strength between the two sides is there.

Anyway, there are different opinions. However, after the Warriors came to Durant in 2017, they were indeed the only one in the league on the offensive end. "The Three Crazy" is indeed very terrifying. The main force often checks in and rests in three quarters. Green is right, but if he loses if he doesn't lead by 40 points in three quarters, isn't it a bit exaggerated?
However, after 2017, the Spurs entered a transition period of core lineup adjustment and reconstruction, and gradually moved from the long-term peak of the "GDP era" to the stage of alternating new and old. Then, Xiao Ka left in 2019, and the Spurs completely entered reconstruction. It was not until now that Wenban Yama came, so the Spurs footrest was also a turning point for the Spurs.
