Beijing time on March 11, the NBA regular season continued, the Nuggets home to meet the Warriors, before this campaign, the Warriors' record was 44 wins and 22 losses, ranking third in the West, after the last game to defeat the Clippers, they finally ended their five-game losing streak, and the Nuggets side recorded 39 wins and 26 losses, ranking sixth in the West, the Nuggets side just experienced a wave of 4 consecutive wins, it is clear that even in the face of the third warriors in the West, the Nuggets are still the dominant side, Whether it's the mental state of the players or their recent performances, the Nuggets are determined to win the game.
In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors showed a good offensive firepower, Curry, Poole, Wiggins hit three-pointers in succession, and the Nuggets' tactics are very obvious, that is, to enhance the offensive firepower of the inside line, they take Jokic as the core to continuously impact the Warriors' inner line, so the Warriors play the outside line, and the Nuggets play the inside line, and neither team can open the gap. In the second quarter of the game, the two teams alternated the lead, after the timeout, the Warriors offense suddenly lost power, and then the Nuggets seized the opportunity to play a wave of 12-0 offensive climax, at the critical moment, Poole stood up to score consecutively, helping the Warriors to bite the score, and finally the half game ended, the Warriors were still 9 points behind the opponent 51-60.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the two sides entered a three-point battle, and the Nuggets continued to expand their lead, and in the first half of the third quarter of the game, Jokic was deeply troubled by fouls and was eventually replaced, the Warriors seized the opportunity to complete the counterattack, especially in the last minute, Curry hit three-pointers consecutively, which brought the Morale of the Warriors to a climax, the third quarter of the war, the Warriors have successfully reversed the score, and in this quarter, Curry alone contributed 18 points. Finally entering the crucial fourth quarter of the game, the Warriors continued to extend their lead, and Jokic was still unable to play off the court, as Jokic came on, the Warriors' weakness of the lack of internal line was exposed again, and in less than five minutes, the Nuggets tied the score. After returning from the timeout, Curry scored consecutive points to help the team regain the lead, and finally the Warriors won 113-102 on the road to the Nuggets.
In the whole game, both sides basically played the game they needed, the Nuggets were able to maintain the lead in the first half, largely because they used their own internal advantages, even if it was the end of the game, the Nuggets' contribution to rebounding was far more than the Warriors' side, unfortunately, due to the absence of the main players, the Nuggets' outside strength was stretched, and this is precisely the strong point of the Warriors, in today's game, the outside core shooting rate led by Curry is still good, Especially in the third quarter of the game, Curry single-handedly led the Warriors to surpass the score, and the key to the Warriors' victory was also Curry's outstanding performance.
Of course, the most critical point in today's game is the time period when Teacher About was off, Zhuge Malone did not arrange cousins to replace Jokic in time, and finally let the Warriors find self-confidence, and successive three-pointers finally let the Nuggets suffer defeat. Even if Jokic returned to the court in the fourth quarter, he was more hesitant in the choice of shots, and the Warriors' pinch was more decisive, and Jokic, who led the team alone, was ultimately unable to resist the Warriors' indiscriminate bombardment.
After talking about the overall performance, let's talk about the performance of the specific players, the Warriors side of Curry's performance is still quite good, the key moment can also stand up to help the team reverse the game, but we must talk about Wiggins and Clay, these two people on the court is simply a help, outside three-pointers, Wiggins 7 in 1, Klay 8 in 2, wasted too many outside shots, fortunately today Curry's performance is not bad, and finally the Warriors successfully won two consecutive wins.
On the Nuggets side, Jokic's performance is impeccable, but the top of the list is too small, so that Jokic plays very tired, 7 three-point shots all hit iron, in fact, this is also a shadow of the Nuggets' full performance, even if it is to the end, the Nuggets' three-point shooting rate is less than 25%, which is also the key to losing.
