An NBA regular season focus battle, the Golden State Warriors took on the Indiana Pacers on the road. At the end of the half, the Warriors temporarily trailed 47-55. Offensively and defensively, the Warriors did not play very well, and they still did not come out of the slump.
In terms of the record and hard power of the two teams, the Warriors should not play like this even in the case of away games and the referee's strict penalty. Stephen Curry is a barometer of the team's good or bad, and before this game, he was seven points away from surpassing Ray Allen's three-point record, and two more shots at halftime, which was five short. Whether the mentality will be affected by this, it is inevitable that there will be some, but the biggest problem with the Warriors today is not this, but mistakes.
In the first half, we saw too much, because of the Warriors' mistakes, and gave the opponent the opportunity to counterattack, so he lost points, and even hit the attack wave, called a timeout, etc., which was very demoralizing.
Take this time, when the game was more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors made another pass mistake, Brogdon counterattacked after stealing, and the two teammates followed up, forming a 3-on-1 situation, and the Warriors relied on Draymond Green to struggle to interfere, and did not expect to succeed.
It's not how defensive Green is, it's the opponent's mistake to give a big gift. Brogdon did not go on his own, and a back pass was given to Miles Turner who followed up, but Turner followed too slowly, and some were not ready, did not receive the ball, and he was also upset.
The Warriors escaped the disaster, but not every time they have been so lucky, they should be alert. The Warriors made a total of 11 turnovers in the first half, almost twice as many as their opponents, Curry alone occupied 4 times, and he was the only one on the team to score in double figures, scoring 13 points on 4-of-10 shooting. But looking at the momentum today, his performance is not enough, it needs to be more explosive.
