Before the buddha's comeback, the outside world once talked about waiting for the water and splash combination, which was the time of the finale of the alliance. Even if the return of the Buddha did cause a certain sensation, but the Buddha returned to these 3 games, the Warriors won the Cavaliers, lost to the Grizzlies and Bucks, especially this one was hung up by the Bucks, 39 points behind in the half, and Klay was beaten back to the locker room before the end of the third quarter...
Taller than you, faster than you and stronger than you can run, bucks are the style of the Bucks
Back-to-back play only one game, when Cole decided to play bucks on the Buddha, it shows that compared to the Bulls, the first in the East, the defending champion Bucks are still a more difficult opponent in Kerr's eyes and more valued! And the Buddha only came back and needed to find the feeling of the game again, and needed to re-adapt to the role of the Warriors, so the Warriors could accept some defeats, and they could also accept the status quo of the low shooting rate after the Buddha's comeback. Judging from the situation in these three games after the comeback, Buddha has increased his ball-holding attack than before his injury; his offensive means are more abundant, but his lateral movement and retreat speed have dropped significantly, and he is definitely no longer the level of the top 3D before.
Of course, the last loss to the Grizzlies, this fiasco Bucks did not have much to do with The Buddha; the root cause was actually the loss of this Warriors team lack of absolute athletic ability.
No one can deny that the Warriors and Suns, who are currently leading the league, are the most reasonable teams in the entire league today; most teams are really difficult to play if they play according to the conventional number of roads. But the weaknesses of these two teams are actually highly similar, that is, the overall lineup is short and athletic; it is really difficult for them to withstand teams that can prevent and rush. Last season's Bucks Finals reversal of the Suns was based on Holliday locking up Paul at the same time that the letters hammered the Suns' inside line. The Bucks use the "shooting and grabbing tactics" of Shonbei in the dunk high hand, grabbing more than a dozen, twenty rebounds, and 20 more shots than the sun in a game.
This year, although Da luo has been absent for a long time, Tucker has gone again; but Tucker's vacancy, Matthews, who returned to the Bucks, has basically filled it. And Portis has also made great progress on the defensive end this season, although his rim protection ability is not as good as Da luo, but he also has a good ability to change defenses; inside the letters, Portis can change defenses, outside Aaron, Connaughton, Matthews, Di Vincenzo and Holliday, who did not play in this game, are still short and strong, and most of the front and interior lines are not at a loss... And the Warriors are a team that likes to use cover to create open positions or play misalignment; but when Looney went to cover Curry again this game, Curry found that the person in front of him was replaced by a letter brother, and he couldn't play; and the Warriors' tallest Looney was facing Aaron and Matthews, the shortest in the Bucks' starting lineup, and couldn't play inside; when the Warriors attacked in the third quarter, Curry played Matthews in a low position.
In previous games, position battles were not easy to play, and the Warriors would speed up the pace and keep spinning; but in front of the Bucks, the Warriors could not run the opponent. In order to limit the letters, they could only keep shrinking, and as a result, the wind leaking everywhere outside gave Middleton, Allen, and Portis too many empty shots...
When the Bucks are taller than the Warriors, faster than the Warriors, stronger than the Warriors, and more accurate than the Warriors, behind the Bucks' halftime lead of 39 points, they completely restrained the Warriors in the style of the ball.
Curry did not fall into the magic ball mistake from mid-range, and Green's return could not solve the Warriors' fate
Without Green this season, the Warriors lost to the Nuggets, lost to the Grizzlies, and lost to the Bucks, allowing all parties to once again see the importance of chasing the dream of Green. Curry's pursuit of the line and Green's handling and cover of the splash on the line has always been the number one kill on the offensive end of the Warriors; and without chasing Green, Curry has to take on more carding tasks, and the other party can be more unscrupulous to curry crazy and force him to play the ball.
On the defensive end, Dream Green has been a defensive barrier to the Warriors' small lineup and is DPOY's most favorable contender this season. There was no dream green these games, playing the Nuggets they were single-handedly blown up by The Teacher, playing the Grizzlies was overwhelmed by Morant, this game alphabet and Portis also hammered the Warriors' inside line...
Both offensive and defensive ends have been greatly affected, once again highlighting the inevitability of Dream Green's arc top serve, low-post strategy, cover, and defense to the Warriors. If Green can play, maybe they won't lose to the Nuggets before; playing the Grizzlies also has a chance to win, but if they are all the main force, the Warriors will still have a hard time playing this Bucks... The problem is still limited in stature, and it is difficult for the Warriors who lack height to block the attack of the alphabet on the basket head-on, but the bigger problem is actually curry...
In the past, Curry was an easy to target colander on the defensive end, and many times teammates needed to hide him, and this year, Curry's improvement on the defensive end was also obvious to all, so the outside world was once discussing whether it had evolved again. But if we talk about the threat and the richness of the means on the offensive end, in fact, the current Curry is not as good as in previous years.
In Curry's shooting distribution this season, the proportion of finishes in the reasonable collision zone accounted for 24.8%, and the proportion of endings outside the three-point line accounted for 63.3%; this means that in the middle distance from the three-point line to the reasonable collision zone, the proportion of shots accounted for only 11.9%! In the 14-15 to 18-19 years, Curry's proportion of mid-range shots in the regular season was 25%, 14.5%, 17.5%, 18.2%, 16.8%; the proportion of mid-range shots in the playoffs was 21.6%, 15.4%, 17.9%, 16.1%, and 20.2% respectively!
Among the league's top superstars, only Harden has a lower proportion of middle-distance shots than Curry; other superstars have a lower proportion of mid-range shots, Morant 24.2%, letter 26.7%, Embiid 45.7%, Durant and DeRozan, Paul this kind of middle-distance master are more than 60%, even because the team's offensive space is too poor this season, reducing the middle distance of the old Zhan and Joo teachers, the proportion of middle distance is 17.9% and 18.4%, respectively, and like Trey. Young's small defender, who is more than Curry, has a 30.7% shot in the middle distance. When Curry's basket finishing efficiency (52.4%) is much lower than the league average, he is too obsessed with shooting three-pointers; behind Curry's recent continuous crotch pulls, in fact, each team has found a way to limit Curry.
And in the top teams in the league, the Suns, Nets, Bulls, Bucks (Middleton's mid-range shooting ratio is close to 40%), there are mid-range masters, their offense can be combined with near and far; and the Warriors' most stable mid-range choice is Porter, who may not be on the court at the decisive moment... The offense is too magic, but the interior line lacks height, this Warrior is not afraid to play the Lakers, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the Bulls, not afraid of the Nets, what they are most afraid of is like the Grizzlies and Bucks, which have excellent tactical qualities, can play high-intensity defense, and their athletic ability is far above them, this Warriors is not the biggest favorite to compete for the championship!
