The Warriors and the Nuggets met, these two are strong teams from the West, the results are very outstanding, because there is no shortage of superstars in the team, so there is a strength to impact the championship, this game attracted the attention of countless fans, this is the most exciting game for fans before the start of the All-Star Game, in the end, the confrontation between them did not disappoint the fans, Morris hit the whistle to kill, helped the Nuggets complete a big reversal.
Compared with the early part of the season, the Warriors' roster has been a lot of consolidation, only the core player Green can not play, and the Nuggets Murray and the key young player Porter are on the injury list, these two players missed this game, it can be said that the impact of injuries on this team is heavier. The regular season schedule is already more than halfway through, almost no team can be in the health phase of the whole team, and injuries are a problem that all teams have to face.
There was no tie in this game, the Warriors led by sixteen points at most, and the Nuggets only led by one point at most, which was the two counter-overs in the last moments of the game, which ultimately determined the outcome of the game. Although the fourth quarter point difference was not large, the Warriors always had the advantage, the balance of victory was on their side, but there were problems with offensive and defensive choices in the final moments, resulting in a loss and losing the game. After the game, Kerr gave an interview to the media, and he admitted that the Nuggets executed a beautiful strategy, but the loss also had its own problems, due to the injuries of Green and Wiseman, resulting in not enough players on the inside.
Recently, the Warriors' performance has not been good, losing more and winning less, one of the reasons is that Wiggins's offensive desire is not high, although his shooting rate is not low, but the number of shots is not much, and he has scored less than twenty points in seven consecutive games. Another reason for losing is that the defensive ability of the interior players is not strong, Looney will be targeted in every game, today's Game between the Warriors and the Nuggets, Looney is very active in both ends of the attack and defense, almost got two-double data, but unfortunately the last moment of continuous free throws did not score, laying hidden dangers for losing. The Warriors desperately need to add inside players, and I think former Cavaliers player Thompson is the most suitable candidate, who has excellent rebounding ability and is good at grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt. In addition, Millsap is also within the scope of the Warriors' consideration, and this player has solid basic skills and certain offensive ability.
Looney's progress in recent seasons has been very pronounced, but unfortunately he can't be a solo inside player because he is a player who lacks physical talent and can't improve through hard work. Looney moves slowly and lacks strength, and when Green is missing, Looney's inadequacies are exposed. At present, the problems of the Warriors are not limited to the offensive aspect, mainly the overall defensive level has declined relatively largely, which has a lot to do with Green's inability to appear, his injuries are more serious, and he cannot return in a short period of time, so the Warriors need to make up for the deficiencies by strengthening the lineup.
The All-Star Game is about to start, the players are given a week off, the Warriors can use this time to adjust well, this season they have performed very well, temporarily in second place in the West, after a few years of ups and downs, the Warriors are back in the ranks of the championship team, hoping that they can successfully achieve their goals.
