Losing to the Nuggets to win the Jazz, the Warriors refused a losing streak! The Warriors have also become the only team in the league that has not lost consecutively this season, and last season the Warriors were three consecutive losses and four consecutive losses, and this season directly completed the transformation, losing but losing less fiercely. At the same time, in addition to the defeat of the Raptors this season, the Warriors did not lose more than 10 points in the rest of the game, and it can be seen that the Warriors this season do have a championship phase and have the characteristics of a super team, that is, stability!
Playing the Jazz Warriors showed their stability again, and the whole team sent out a total of 39 assists, setting a new single-game assist number this season. At the same time, this season's Warriors are ranked first in the league in steals and assists, and the reason why the Warriors are strong is defense! This season, the Warriors' lineup is not very complete, the lineup at the beginning of the season is relatively solid, but as the season deepens, the Warriors continue to lack personnel, but the Warriors have stabilized the situation, and did not let the lack of personnel affect the game, and Kerr seems to know how to line up the lineup, for the change of lineup, he has done a very good job.
In the last game against the Nuggets, Kerr put Anderson in the fourth position, the result was very incompatible, the performance was not very good, and this game was directly to Porter to the starting, Porter cut 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, perfectly assumed Green's position. At the same time, Poole returned, but Kerr did not choose to directly replace Payton Jr. to let Poole return to the starting lineup, but let Poole continue to come on as a substitute, continue to find feelings, and only gave him 16 minutes of playing time, while Payton Jr. started 28 minutes, scoring 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, and the performance was also outstanding.
Why are the Warriors more stable this season? One of the three points is that Curry is not absent! Most of the time the Warriors have curry's presence, Curry's system in the Warriors is there, the whole operation will not appear too stiff, which is a crucial point for the Warriors this season. In addition, Cole's employment is more flexible, in addition to Curry, Green, Wiggins, the rest of the players Cole are flexible use, today may play 30 minutes of Pooler tomorrow may be Porter, this game reuse Rooney the next game may reuse Belitsa, Cole's employment is not rigid, a bit similar to who plays well who will play more.
The third and most important point is the defense! This season, the Warriors' defense has always been remarkable, and most of the winning rounds this season are fought by defense, and the Warriors' current ball is basically all defensive as long as it is starting, using defense to play a conversion, and using defense to start rhythm. And the Warriors' lineup basically has no defensive shortcomings, which makes the Warriors as a whole look balanced, looking like a very resilient team, and when the Warriors gradually show this resilience, as long as the opponent can't stand it, the Warriors win the game quite easily!
