A saying was circulated in the universe back then: Durant is seen in good times, Curry is seen in bad times, Thompson is seen in desperate times

On May 28, in the long history of the NBA, the Golden State Warriors' "Cosmic Brave" period is undoubtedly one of the most legendary chapters. The super team consisting of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson not only created a brilliant record, but also left countless classic game moments. At the peak of this team, a saying circulated among fans: "Look at Durant in good times, Curry in bad times, and Thompson in desperate times." This sentence seems simple, but accurately summarizes the key role of the three superstars in different situations of the team, and has also become the best footnote for that glorious period.

**Full situation Durant: Unsolvable singles machine**

When the Warriors are in a down-wind, Kevin Durant is often the "God of Death" who makes his opponent completely desperate. His height, wingspan and shooting ability make him one of the hardest defenders in NBA history. Durant's singles ability is almost unsolvable, especially when the pace of the game is controlled by the Warriors, his pull-out jump shots and breakthrough layups can always easily tear the opponent's defense. In the 2017 and 2018 finals, Durant repeatedly ended the suspense of the game with a cold-blooded three-pointer at critical moments, especially the fatal three-pointer against LeBron James in the third game of the 2017 Finals, directly securing the victory for the Warriors. Durant's existence makes the Warriors almost unstoppable in good times. His stability and efficient scoring ability are the most reliable guarantee for the team.

**Watch Curry in Adversity: Magician who changes the pace of the game**

However, when the Warriors fall into adversity, Stephen Curry is the leader who can turn the world around. Curry’s greatness lies not only in his three-point shooting, but also in his ability to completely change his opponent’s defensive strategy through unball running, passing and breakouts. When the team is behind or falls into a scoring drought, Curry can always use his iconic "Kugravity" to attract multiple players to double-team and create open opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, his ultra-long three-pointers and quick shooting ability can often ignite the team's morale in an instant. In the 2016 Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, the Warriors were on the verge of elimination, but Curry's consecutive scoring and assists in the third quarter completely reversed the momentum of the game and finally completed a shocking reversal. Curry's game influence cannot be fully measured by data. He is the most trustworthy "magic" in the Warriors' adversity.

**Look at Thompson in Desperate: Cold-blooded Killer and the God of G6**

If Durant and Curry are the basic base of the Warriors, then Klay Thompson is the "savior" who saves the team in Desperate. Thompson's explosive scoring power is the top in history, especially when the team's life is on the line, he can always use a series of three-pointers to hit the game back. In the 2016 Western Conference Finals G6, Thompson scored 11 three-pointers in a single game, scoring 41 points, almost pulling the Warriors back from the brink of elimination by himself; in the 2018 Western Conference Finals G6, he once again saved the team with 9 three-pointers. Thompson's calmness and efficiency make him the most terrible killer in desperate situations. His ability to run without the ball and shoot at the catch makes the opponent unable to defend. The name of "G6 Soup" also resounded throughout the league.

**The chemical reactions and historical status of the three giants**

Although the three players have different styles, their complementarity makes the Warriors' offensive system almost perfect. Durant's singles ability makes up for the Warriors' hard-to-solve needs at critical moments, Curry's organization and off-ball run injected soul into the team, and Thompson's defense and explosive power are the team's "ultimate weapon". Although their cooperation was short, it created two championships and countless classic moments. However, with Durant's departure and Thompson's injury, this glory gradually became history, but the legend of "Durant in good times, Curry in bad times, and Thompson in desperate times" is still talked about by fans.

**Conclusion: The eternal mark of legend **

The era of "cosmic courage" may have ended, but that memory of the Big Three remains forever in the history of the NBA. Their story is not only a perfect interpretation of basketball tactics, but also an ultimate combination of teamwork and personal heroism. Regardless of the future, this sentence will serve as the highest tribute to that great team, witnessing their indelible legendary status in basketball history.
