Nuggets 89-86 Warriors!
The last score of the two teams of the villagers is like a world, and it is difficult to imagine that in this era, there will be a game in which both teams score less than 90.
You watch the Lakers next door play the Rockets, and the final score is 132-123, and the two teams combined to score 255 points. The comparison between the two matches is like a time between time.
Today's game is very clear, divided into two halves. In the first half, the Nuggets beat the Warriors violently, and in the second half, the Warriors began to fight back, and the positions of the two sides reversed, and finally spelled out a chance.
If the Warriors are neatly organized, it is difficult for the Nuggets to have a chance now that they are about to be dismantled. But Green was quarantined for triggering a health and safety agreement, so Mr. Yo took the Nuggets to find an opportunity.
In fact, the Warriors trailed by up to 24 points throughout the first half, which silently illustrates one thing: Green's importance to the Warriors. On this point, the villagers can refer to the video of the previous two days
》。
Green didn't play a second, but feared the biggest winner of the game.
The impact of Green's absence is first and foremost on the offensive end: Green is the real brain of the Warriors' offensive system, and the whole team's offense needs him to deploy and sort out.
Green wasn't there, and Kerr had to take Anderson to the starter and try to get him to play Green's role. Anderson has been learning Green's way of playing, but he and Green are still in the same rank. You can let him use the articulation section as a side dish, and if you want him to be a staple food, it is far from it.
Of course, the Warriors system is great, but the reason why this system is so powerful is that the players have the ability to play their respective roles and finally make the system work.
When there was no Green, the Warriors played like a luxury supercar. This supercar is good everywhere, that is, the engine has a bit of a problem, and in the end it seems to be useless.
So the Warriors theoretically best choice is to temporarily abandon the system, give the ball to Curry, let him play more blocks, and move more about the teacher's defensive position, and the game effect may be better.
But I can also understand that Kerr and the Warriors, the players and the team are not characters in the game — not at the push of a button that immediately switches modes. They are living people, all with their own ways of playing and habits.
So the Warriors had some rounds for Curry to hold the ball, and he also seemed a little uncomfortable, with a lot of mistakes. The Warriors made nine turnovers in the first half, and Curry alone made four.
This discomfort and the Nuggets' defense also affected the rhythm of his three-point shooting. Curry is 1 three-pointer to 3,000 three-pointers, and this record is clearly there.
Of course, the Nuggets know that they will be the background board, but they can be as late as possible, and it is also good for the Nuggets themselves not to let Curry find the feel as soon as possible.
So Curry took the ball and the Nuggets clamped down, and Curry was not too far away from the three points to get out. Curry's 1-of-6 and 5-of-5 three-pointers in the first half were not just a matter of not being able to shoot, but a problem of extremely difficult shots.
To sum up: Curry's 2 points, 2 assists and 4 turnovers in the first half, there are reasons for the Nuggets defense, but the main reason is that Green's absence caused Curry to lose the rhythm of the game. The Warriors scored just 36 points in the first half, and Green's role in the Warriors system was unmistakable.
Green is not in the impact on the Warriors, in addition to offense, but also defense.
The Warriors currently have a center for Looney, who averages less than 20 minutes per game, which means that the Warriors are playing a small lineup for at least 28 minutes in a game. And most of the time in this, it is Green who is in the top five position.
Then today, when I met the Nuggets, there was the current league's first center about teacher in the opposing lineup. Looney is on the floor, it must be Looney's main defense, but when the Warriors become smaller, Green is not there, who can stop the teacher?
The answer is no. In the Warriors' small lineup, except for Green, who can't play, no one can defend the teacher one-on-one, which is also the opportunity for the Nuggets to overturn the league's first.
Then you say that a single person can't prevent it, so you can only pinch it?
The key is also here, in the face of the league's most passable fat man, does the Warriors dare to pinch the attack?
The warriors did not dare. In the first half, as long as the teacher received the ball in the low position, the Warriors looked like an extremely frightening full contraction, but all the people who received the penalty area were fake assist defenses. Because the real pinch hit arrives, the teacher passes to the outside line is an empty three-pointer.
About the teacher is a thief, and he saw through the warrior's false defense. So in the first half, he was 6 of 8, with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, but only 1 turnover. Teacher Yo won 23 points for the Nuggets on the field, the highest in the whole game, it can be said that every point advantage of the Nuggets in the first half is inseparable from Mr. Yo.
Teacher Joe's actions make the impact of Green's absence on the Warriors' defense also unmistakable.
In fact, Teacher Yo can penetrate the Warriors' defense in the first half, on the one hand, Teacher Yo is very powerful, on the other hand, the Warriors are too greedy.
They fully contracted the meaning of fake defense is to want everything, and they want to force the teacher to play the ball, and they want to take advantage of his ball to save the three points, and the result is that nothing is well defended.
Facing the defense of the superstar, there must be a trade-off between letting him attack and pass the ball.
The Warriors turned fake defense into a real pinch in the second half, and they were no longer willing to let Mr. Jo score easily on the inside.
Therefore, in the whole second half, the teacher was about 2 out of 11, and he only scored 8 points. The level and intensity of the match is one level higher than the already low first half.
Teacher Yo is like a great white elephant with infinite strength, the warrior is like a lion group, one-on-one lions can certainly not beat the elephant, but the elephant can not withstand the impact of the lion group. Each lion put some blood on the elephant, and the elephant could not carry it sooner or later.
At the end of the fight, a pair of white and fat arms of the teacher were red again, and there was a clear tendency to exhaustion.
Then some people will ask, the Warriors pinch teacher about, teacher about to pass the ball? Isn't Mr. Yo the fat guy who can pass the ball the most?
Teacher Yo did pass, but his teammates couldn't shoot in. The Nuggets scored 7-of-15 three-pointers in the first half, which is definitely a super level for the Nuggets, whose offensive resources are currently barren.
The first half was super level, and the second half immediately pulled back - the 18-of-1 shooting rate is obviously not the real three-point level of the Nuggets.
On the other hand, the Warriors' overall defensive level is still quite high, worthy of the league's first defensive efficiency.
You look at a lot of teams' defenses, coaches let them pinch, as long as the opponent core catches the ball they will stare at the pinch. It's easy for the opponent to anticipate the timing of their incoming pinch shots, and when they're ready, it's relatively easy to get the ball out.
And the Warriors clip teacher is not, in the first time he receives the ball in the low position, the Warriors do not come to pinch. Well, the teacher saw that no one was coming, so he was ready to take the ball and hit it.
As long as Teacher Yo starts dribbling, the defense teacher, such as Looney, first uses his body to resist, and then other teammates come from Teacher Yo's blind side to pinch, or reach a deep position and then a group of people surround him.
At this time, the teacher heard the reminder of his teammates, first look at which side the pinch comes from, and then go to find the position of the teammates and judge the passing route, a series of actions down, the space for operation is very small.
And when the Nuggets are more and more unable to shoot on the outside line, the pinch pressure encountered by Teacher Jo will become more and more intense. So Mr. Yo had only 1 assist in the second half, but 7 turnovers.
As a result, Mr. Jo's personal attack and passing are limited. The Nuggets' offense is completely supported by The Teacher, and the Teacher is pressed, and the Nuggets' offense naturally begins to lose power, and can only rely on the role players to play piecemeal.
The Nuggets scored 60 points in the first half and 29 points in the second half. The gap is as big as changing teams.
The Warriors can defend the Nuggets and start to counterattack, counterattack together, and the offense is much more comfortable.
At the same time, Curry in the second half was also clearly more accustomed to the role he should play after Green's absence, especially after shooting his 3,000th three-pointer at the end of the third quarter.
One clear sign is that Curry made four three-pointers in the fourth quarter. But what is more interesting is that except for the first three-pointer, which was hit by Anderson's pass during the counterattack, the other three points were all held by themselves to block or change direction.
At this point Curry has clearly adapted to a big-core play with the ball.
In the end, the game between the Warriors and the Nuggets was like a tortoise and rabbit race, the Nuggets were rabbits, and they ran out a long way at first, but the Warriors slowly chased back in the second half by defense.
And the speed of the turtle is getting faster and faster, the rabbit's pace is getting slower and slower, and it looks like it is about to catch up, but in the end, the Nuggets still hit the line at the moment when the Warriors are about to catch up.
If the game is one more minute, the Nuggets' fate of being reversed is basically doomed.
Curry and Mr. Yo, two players who are quite at the top of the MVP rankings, are not easy, and Curry may need to change some of his playing style to adapt to a short game without Green.
Not to mention Teacher Yo, now that even Gordon is injured, Teacher Yo can only bear a little more.
Today's teacher is 22 +18 data, and the first two games have even been done to 20 +20.
It's so hard... It's really hard...
Thanks for reading it all!
