Warriors 102-100 narrowly beat the Pacers!
With about 100 seconds left in the game, Brogdon and Sasa made a two-man turn, and Sa scored the 100th point for the Pacers.
After this round, the Pacers did not score more than 90 seconds, and the Warriors, who were originally 5 points behind, scored 7 consecutive points and finally turned the game over.
The Pacers aren't without effort, and they have three chances:
The first is Turner's empty three-pointer, not scoring;
The second is Brogdon's emergency stop at mid-range and does not advance;
The third is Le Vere single out Peyton Jr., And Le Ver is also a player on the left side, and he must break the left hand when he crosses Poole. Little Peyton was not Poole, he had sealed his left hand, he still had to take his left hand, and finally he made a mistake under the confrontation.
It is still an old problem, and personal ability is not enough. That's why the Walkers want to rebuild, and the upper limit of this group of people is obvious at a glance.
How did the Warriors' last 7 points come about?
Curry used cover to hit Sa with a three-pointer, and the small hit was big;
Curry used the cover to force out Turner to change defenses, Turner mainly defended three points, Curry burst to the inside line with his back stuck to the pursuing Turner a confrontation basket to score, small hit big;
Looney's last moon-catching ball was scored, which is a stroke of genius, and it is still high.
One detail is that Looney played the fourth quarter — except for the last two seconds of the round when he wasn't there, so the Warriors closed the game with a big lineup, which the Warriors hadn't seen in a long time.
The reason for this is that the Pacers' twin towers have a height advantage against the Warriors, and Kerr finally did not end with a small lineup step by step, but used height to height, while hitting the opponent's two high points on the offensive end, and finally won the game.
Overall, the Warriors did not play well, which is a portrayal of their relatively low ebb after playing the Sun. Compared with the previous high-flying progress, the Warriors have exposed two problems during this time.
The first is the height mentioned above, the Warriors' small lineup is great, but Green can't stand five all game, and the playoffs can't stand five forever, whether Looney is a division final or even a finals level of the fifth position, need to play a question mark.
The Warriors played against the Suns, and Ayton scored the highest scores in both games; Philadelphia, who did not have a good guard in the last game, the Emperor had 26 points and 9 rebounds; today he played the Pacers, Anderson Jr. had 30 points and 11 rebounds.
Assuming the Warriors meet the Suns in the DivisionAls Finals and the Bucks in the Finals, their interior heights will always be targeted points.
So the Warriors management almost never said such a thing as trading Wiseman, although he is a big smart on the court, but his height and arm span, physical talent is there, what if the fight is cultivated?
Looney is certainly a better center for the Warriors than Wiseman, but Warriors management is looking at Wiseman's ceiling.
The second question is, when Curry is not so daytime, what do the Warriors do?
In the last 5 games, Curry has averaged 24.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, which is an excellent statistic for any athlete. But when you put it on Curry, it always feels almost interesting, especially if you add the overall 37.4% and less than 35% three-point shooting rate.
Apparently, Curry is stuck in a long season with three reasons visible to the naked eye.
First, other teams have further defended Curry.
Mu Xiu must be destroyed by the forest wind, the Warriors and Curry in the month before the season are too dazzling, naturally each team will study how to limit Curry.
The Suns did it in the way that Bridges chased, Ayton was delayed, and the whole team rotated to make up for the position, and the other teams learned from each other, and the defensive pressure facing Curry naturally came up, which was an external factor.
Second, logistical mean reversion.
No one will always be at the top, and no one will always be at a low. The previous month was the peak of Curry and the Warriors, and to return to the average, there will naturally be a low.
This is the same as the accuracy of the three-point shot: if a team is extremely iron in the first half of the empty three-point shooting, the second half is likely to be able to shoot back; conversely, if the first half is accurate but does not open the point difference, the second half often has to be very careful.
Life is the same, when good things come one after another, bad things are also one after another to make you breathless. It is always said that life is as plain as water, but in fact, it is not a straight line, fluctuations are the norm, when you put these fluctuations into a long enough time dimension, and eventually return to plain and calm, this is the internal cause.
The third point is also the internal cause, Curry's mentality.
When anyone knows that he is going to make history, he will not be ancient, and many great people in history have been praised for "having a calm breath in every big event", either from the praise of posterity, or he did not know that he was writing history by himself.
But the three-point record is clearly laid out there, and every time Curry shoots one, the whole world counts for him, and it's impossible for you to say that it has no impact on his mentality.
Curry's three-point shot before the first three-pointer in the second quarter today was not smooth, and even gave people the feeling of hesitation and caton, which happened to Curry is incredible, but he just happened, obviously abnormal.
And the third point and the first point are mutually influential, Curry knows that he is going to break the record, and the opponent knows it, but why does the other party give him a background board?
At this time, the mentality becomes "the game can be lost, Curry must die", but the opponent often finds that after Curry is choked, the game seems to be won.
Because the Warriors' current offensive system is completely based on Curry's ability, in other words, all the remaining teammates are brokers standing on Curry's shoulders.
If Curry is good, they will follow, which is called the icing on the cake; if Curry is not good, they will also be affected, which is called not being able to send charcoal in the snow.
In the past five games, Curry's three-pointers have been deducted, and the other Warriors players have scored 8 of 22, 13 of 27, 8 of 29, 9 of 34, 3 of 15, and none of the last three games have passed 30%.
So when the opponent locked Curry and the basket, the Warriors' offense stopped. At this time, the Warriors can only rely on Wiggins and Poole, because although they have benefited from Curry's system, they also have the ability to hold the ball and can also play singles.
But the problem with the two of them is instability, with Poole having 23 points from last game and eight points today; Wiggins with 28 points from playing the Magic and 11 points from the Spurs.
So it's still the old saying: What kind of team the Warriors are, it depends on Klay, who has tacitly accepted himself as the 77th player in history.
When Curry was choked, Clay was the one who could send charcoal to him to untie. Of course, it had to be the one who wasn't too different from 19 years ago.
