The NBA regular season continued, and today the Bucks traveled to the road to challenge the Warriors, and they eventually lost to the Warriors 109:122. Thompson completed a personal explosion in this game, scoring 38 points. Among them, 8 of 14 shots outside the three-point line are the highest plus-minus in the team. Jordan Pooler also had 30 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Wiggins scored 21 points. The Warriors starters scored a combined 99 points, and Curry had eight points and eight assists on 3-of-7 shooting today. In the case of his teammates playing well, Curry chose to complete his teammates and did not force his own shots.
Looking at the whole game, we can clearly feel that although Curry did not score high points in this game. But he became the core of the Warriors' tactics in this game. We can clearly feel that when the Warriors put out Curry, Poole, Thompson's lineup after the Bucks' defensive focus is still on Curry. You will find that even if Tang Shen and Poole scored a total of 68 points in this game, the Bucks' strategy of defending Curry has not changed, that is, Curry will face a pinch after taking the ball, and Curry will assist several people everywhere he goes. That is to say, the Bucks' strategy is not to let Curry shoot, and to allow others to get the shot.
So today, in the case of Thompson and Poole's outbreak, the Bucks still adopt a strategy of pinching and assisting in Curry's defense. Many fans bluntly say that Curry is really too difficult. Many teams in the league have adopted strategies for Curry to pinch and assist in defense, and Curry has to deal with the defense of several people every game. So that's why the rest of the Warriors have been able to get a lot of empty seats.
The Bucks' defensive strategy today focuses first on Curry and Thompson on the second. So you'll find Poole and Wiggins, they've got a lot of big empty slots, even chances to be unguarded in front of them. And once they seize these opportunities, the Warriors will be insoluble. The most important thing for the Warriors now is whether other players can grasp those empty shooting opportunities after Curry and Thompson are pinched, and if they can grasp those empty shooting opportunities, we can conclude that the Warriors' offense in this league is insoluble.
And once it comes to the playoffs, opponents will be even more crazy about Curry's defensive strategy. So we have repeatedly emphasized that Thompson must play in a state, must find the feel of the shooting. Because in the playoffs he is the most important person to relieve Curry's defensive pressure. And he is also the one who is the easiest to punish the other party. After all, whether players like Jordan Pooler and Wiggins can have big hearts in the playoffs still have a big question mark. I don't know what the fans think?
