NBA history 18th! Green sets a record against the sky, and one sentence after the game made the black fans shut up!

The laughter in the Warriors' locker room can be heard through the door panel. Dream-Zhun Green just achieved an achievement that he didn't expect - the number of steals in the playoffs surpassed Leonard, the best defensive player of the two-times. 257 times, 18th in history. When this number appeared on the big screen, even the Timberwolves fans gave applause.

The graduation of six prisoners is not new to Green. But when he left the field this time, he looked up at the statistics and raised the corners of his mouth. He sent three steals this night, officially surpassing the record held by Leonard. Among the active players, only James, Paul and Durant are ahead of him.

"I know I'm close to this record, but I didn't expect it tonight. "Green wiped his sweat after the game,"Kavai is a monster defender, and it's very special to be comparable to him. "

It's even more surprising to see the technical statistics. Green played 20 more games in the playoffs than Leonard, but he averaged 1.4 steals per game. What's even more exaggerated is that at the age of 36, he averaged 1.2 steals this season, almost the same as the season he won the championship five years ago.

What is his secret? Coach Cole said it very directly: "The basketball IQ of dream-chasing is at the historical level. "Now Green rarely makes gambling steals, but it depends more on prediction and position. The data won't lie - he is seventh in the league this season when he interferes with passing routes. At the 2012 draft, it was Green's turn after 35 names were called. At that time, the scout reported that he was "too short and too slow". Ten years later, this second round pick became the fourth active player in the playoff steals list.

His defense style is very alternative. Without the long arms like Leonard, it depends on footsteps and brains. Experts say Green is best at "guiding" his opponent into a trap, thinking three steps ahead of time just like playing chess.

Today's 6 offenses remind people of the other side of Green's defense. He is the player with the most full bucks in the playoffs at the active duty, but he is also the top fifteen contributions to defensive victory. This contradiction is precisely his label - disrupting the opponent's rhythm at any cost.

data reveals an interesting fact: Green's 89 steals were directly converted into Warriors' fast break score, with a higher conversion rate than the peak Paul. When asked about his feelings beyond Leonard, he grinned with a signature style: "Those who said I should retire should be looking at the statistics now, right? "

This night, Green was only one steal away from Carl Malone's record. This is the best response for him who was once labeled as "system player".
