The Warriors lost 86-89 to the Nuggets at home and missed a four-game winning streak, and although the Warriors only lost three points at the end, they were 24 points behind at the end of the first half, which was a big surprise. And this game also proved the real core of the Warriors in addition to Curry, without him, the Warriors' offensive system was greatly affected.
Curry was in no shape in the first half, and under the defense of the opponent, he only got 6 shots in the first half, hit 1 goal, and got 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, which was a miserable performance. However, after the midfield adjustment, Curry's second half state has recovered, the third quarter 3 out of 1 to get 6 points, to the fourth quarter is a complete outbreak, when a historical top shooter to find the feel, the opponent can really only give the fate to the heavens, Curry in the fourth quarter 7 out of 4, thrown into 4 3-pointers, personal single quarter cut 15 points, leading the Warriors crazy chase points, once the score was tied, but unfortunately they could not resist at the last moment, The Warriors' last 2.2 seconds of tactics failed to hand the ball into Curry's hands, ended by Iguodala, but failed to create a miracle.
Many people are lamenting, if the last goal can be passed to Curry, what will be the end? Although the other side will guard Curry, it is believed that as long as the ball can be handed to him, the probability of hitting this absolutely three points will be far superior to others. Of course, the game is over, and assuming nothing makes sense, it won't change the outcome of the Warriors' loss. And why did the Warriors lose this game?
First, Curry suppressed first, and the first half was in poor shape, causing the Warriors to dig a big hole early, even if the whole team tried to fill the pit in the second half, but in the end it still failed. If Curry had been in normal form in the first half and the Warriors' offense had been slightly better, the game would not have been like this.
The second, and in fact the most important, is the absence of Dream Green! After playing the Christmas war with the Suns, Green triggered the health and safety agreement, will be absent for 6 days, and Wiggins returned in time, bringing a lot of help to Curry, this game, Wiggins contributed 21 points and 8 rebounds, has made a lot of contributions, but, less dream Green, the Warriors' offensive system, it lacks the most important axis, the power is greatly reduced.
Green is Curry's best partner on the court, and the cooperation between the two has been perfected, and even when running tactics, even if Green closes his eyes, he can find Curry's position. Their blocking is an important part of Kerr's tactical system, and with Green's strategy and cover at a high position, Curry can better get rid of the defense and finish after receiving Green's pass. And Green is not there, others can not form such a skillful cooperation with Curry, even if Rooney can come forward to cover for Curry, but he can not be like Green, for Curry to send a mysterious pass, some of the so-called "tacit understanding" things, not everyone can have, and Curry and Dream, is definitely the most tacit 2-person group in the current league, not even one of them.
Therefore, Green's absence, Curry will be under the nuggets in the first half, it is difficult to catch the ball to end, because no one can create a better chance for him to get out of the defense. And Kerr's tactical system also needs to be readjusted because of the absence of the dream, so the warriors' overall offense from Curry to the whole team in the first half played very poorly. In the second half, the Warriors will begin to adapt, Curry also broke out in time, and on the basis of doing a good job of defense, the whole team began to tenaciously chase points, almost staged a big reversal.
I have to say that the warriors' star is Curry, but what really makes them a favorite for the championship, dream green is absolutely indispensable, he and Curry complement each other, mutual achievements, his defense, strategy ability, and cooperation with Curry, no one can replace. Without Green, Curry wants to lead the team to win the championship, and the challenges he faces will be greatly improved.
