Beijing time on January 2, the NBA regular season continues, the Warriors, who were previously delayed because of the game against the Nuggets, came directly to Utah and competed with the Jazz, which currently ranks third in the West, this game can be described as a strong dialogue, and it may also be a preview of the NBA playoffs this season, so any detail in the game is very important, and any tactic may become the target of the opponent's study, so it is a game that must be won for both sides. Although this game was played on the road, the Warriors had an absolute advantage because they were going to go to Denver Highlands for the Game of December 31, but due to the delay in the game, they flew directly to Utah and got longer rest and preparation time, while the Jazz were playing back-to-back, as Mitchell said, "They have more time to study us, we have to try to compete."
The Warriors' advantage is on the outside, and their overall shooting ability is higher than that of the Jazz, and it can be said that in addition to Rooney, the team's main rotation players are inside. Both outside and inside players have good shooting ability. In addition, the small fight after the blocking and dismantling and changing the defense is also a major killing move of the Warriors. This is extremely targeted at Gobert. The advantage of the Jazz is even more obvious, strong interior line, excellent rebounding ability is what the Warriors are very lacking, this season when the Warriors face some teams with excellent interior line, such as: Suns, 76ers, etc., in some times play very struggling, because the interior line is absolutely not high enough, even with the dpoy level of defense level Green, can not very well limit the opponent's big center play, not to mention this game Green has not yet lifted the league health agreement, can not play, That's a big loss for the Warriors.
Today's game both sides actually played their own advantages exquisitely, the Warriors ball rotation speed is very fast, the defensive counterattack is extremely fierce, Curry's excellent ability to transfer the ball to the bag clip, coupled with the outside line to transfer the ball very fast, so teammates can continue to get good opportunities to attack, even if he does not feel too good today, it can also bring a very positive impact on the game. The team scored a second assist in the game, setting a new season high, while the Jazz took advantage of the Warriors' internal deficit to continue to make a fuss, on the one hand, the advantage of rebounding ability made the Jazz continue to get second offensive opportunities, while Gobert and other high-pitched hits also made the Warriors players have no temper, and when the game was played until the last minute, the only big center Rooney also left the court early because of six fouls. The Warriors trailed five rebounds in the game, most of which were missed in frontcourt rebounds. From this point of view, the Warriors can only count on Wiseman's return at present, or trade to bring internal help to the team.
As I mentioned in the previous article, the Warriors currently have two major flaws: lack of internal resources and poor ability to play hard at key moments. And the problem of the interior is obviously more important at the moment, and in this season's games, we can often see a lot of good interior players performing well in the Warriors' games, Ayton. This is true of Gobert and Embiid. As the only big center, Rooney's defensive ability is online, but his offensive ability is very limited, and in many cases he can't even eat a simple pie. Last year's list wiseman's various strange performances last season are still fresh in our minds, and we don't know whether they can be reborn after the comeback, so I think the Warriors urgently need to find a player who can hover in the fourth and fifth positions in the subsequent trading market, and can help the team in rebounding and defense.
But for this kind of player, we must not be too demanding on the offensive end, after all, the inside players who can attack and shoot are scarce resources in the entire league, and the Warriors' trading chips are not enough to get such players, so they can find defensive ability online, can constantly fight, do dirty work players have been very good, with Rooney, Green, Wiseman, Anderson and other players, can also solve some urgent needs, otherwise wait until the playoffs to face the Suns, Lakers, Bucks and other teams, I am afraid that I will be beaten by the other party for my shortcomings
