When the Thunder opens the Warriors Ten Years script: The NBA version of "Back to the Future" is in progress

If there is anything more addictive in the NBA than a championship, it must be the cool script of "replicating the dynasty". When the 2025 Thunder stepped into the Finals with the shadow of the Warriors in 2015, it made people think that the Time and Space Administration secretly opened a "Dynasty Replica Shop" in Oklahoma City - the same young core lineup, the same explosive regular season dominance, and even the formula of "subverting the league with three-pointers and defense" seemed to be boiled from the same magic pot.

Draft Magic Ball: From "Golden State Laboratory" to "Russia Cultivation System"

The Warriors' Rise began with the "Spring Tea Green" draft four-piece chess, while the Thunder played "Choose Elimination Music". When Curry was picked up by the Warriors in 2009, no one expected that this would be the beginning of the "three-point revolution";

Now the Thunder's operation is more like playing "Civilization 6" - they not only stockpile their picks, but also collect the future first round of the Heat, Clippers and other teams as candy, turning team manager Sam Presti into "NBA draft picks president."

The best thing is the player comparison: Curry, who won the MVP at the age of 26, vs. Alexander who won the MVP at the age of 26, looks like a mirror image from ten years ago.

Klay Thompson's 24-year-old offense and defense are one, corresponding to Jaylen Williams' 23-year-old best third team; Green's "Death Five Axis" is replaced by Homegren's "Basket Protection Unicorn", and the setting from the Midwest has not changed. The most interesting thing is Caruso vs Iguodala - the former is "Chicago Iron Gate", the latter is "Philadelphia Answer Terminator". Even the script of "Substitute Shock" is written, just the finals MVP trophy shines.

Playoffs pass: From "reversal script" to "Youth Storm"

Do you still remember Curry's "logo three-pointer" when the Warriors reversed the Pelicans?

The Thunder were even more ruthless and directly made a "29-point reversal" at the Grizzlies' home court, turning Morant's "air operation" into "background board material". In the Western Conference Finals, Edwards wanted to replicate Harden's "Lonely Hero" scene, but was prevented by the Thunder's "Death Entanglement" and became "Edwards Eliminated Music". The pace of solving the five battles was exactly the same as the Warriors beat the Rockets back then.

The defensive philosophy of the two teams is even more similar: the Warriors asked Bogut to throw Tony Allen, and the Thunder asked Caruso to defend against Jokic - the former told the opponent "I don't care about your weaknesses", and the latter directly staged "center misplaced military training." The most amazing thing is the net score data: the Warriors ranked first in defense and second in offense in 2015, the Thunder ranked first in defense and third in offense in 2025, and even the tactic of "smashing the opponent with mistakes" is like a lesson plan written by the same coach.

Future Challenges: Salary Maze and "Durante Multiple Choice Questions"

Of course, replicating scripts is most afraid of "plot killing". The Warriors forced a resumption with Durant by spending money, but the Thunder collided with the "NBA Anti-Addiction System" - the new salary rules are very similar to the "stamina bar restrictions" in the game. Even if the boss is willing to pay luxury tax, the rules may directly judge you to "overload the lineup." What’s even more interesting is the “Durant Paradox”: If Thunder hadn’t let his schoolbag go, how could he have come from Alexander now? If you want to copy the Warriors' "superstar upgrade", should Chet recruit Antetokounmpo? The picture is too beautiful to think about.

However, the Thunder has a trick "the plug-in that the Warriors don't have" - ​​draft pick sea. When the Warriors traded overdrafted draft picks in the 2010s, the Thunder were using "draft rain" to water the future. Imagine: When Alexander, Williams, and Homgren's tridents are still rising, they can still open potential stocks from the "draft blind box" every year, which is simply "playing the dynasty mode with cheat codes."

Dynasty predicts: When "seven years and seven championships" meet "new king ascends the throne"

The current NBA is very similar to the "Warring States Period". Seven championships have been replaced in the past seven years, and the defending champion can't even enter the Western Conference Finals. But the appearance of thunder seemed to press the "Dynasty Start Key" in troubled times. Think about it: a team with an average age of 24.7 years old, holding the report card of "the first net score in history" and holding a bunch of draft picks in their pockets. Isn't this the configuration of "Son of the Chosen"?

Some people say that "a team that relies on three-pointers cannot win the playoffs." The Warriors slapped the championship in the face with the championship;

Now some people say that "the Thunder is too young and has no foundation". Perhaps the 2025 finals will be the "slap scene" of the new king ascending the throne. As for whether the Warriors' "Five Years Three Championships" can be copied, let's see if this "Russia City Replica" comes out of its own script or continues the legend of the dynasty - after all, the most fascinating thing about the NBA is that there will always be new stories and create a new flavor in the old recipe.
