After a short wait, the NBA playoffs officially began, and in the first round of the game, the Warriors made the final appearance, sitting at home to meet the Nuggets.
After 2 seasons and 3 years of long waiting, Clay, Curry and Dream once again stood on the playoffs at the same time.
In the face of the bitter main nuggets during the regular season, the Warriors did not have a bloody blade, played with 14 people in the whole game, and used a 10-man core rotation to defeat the opponent with a large score, and easily won the series opening.
Throughout the game, the Warriors are in an absolute advantage in terms of tactical adjustments and personnel depth.
After finding a feel for Curry in the first half, the game ended, and after the whole game, the Warriors played all 14 and boldly used the 10-man core rotation.
Five of them scored in double figures, namely Poole with 30 points and 3 assists, Klay 19 points, 3 boards and 2 assists, Wiggins 16 points, 9 boards and 2 assists, Curry 16 points, 3 boards and 4 assists, and Draymond Green 12 points, 6 boards and 9 assists.
It is also the existence of these five people that allows the Warriors to create a "death five" lineup again, although the overall ability is not as good as the death five when durant was owned.
But with Cummingal, Moody and Wiseman still sitting on the bench, it's an exaggeration for the Warriors to have such depth of immediate combat.
The five players played together for a total of 4 minutes to win the Nuggets by 13 points, which shows the dominance of this set of five small deaths.
In addition to the stable role of the three cores of Curry, Clay and Dream Chaser, Poole is undoubtedly the key to this new five-small lineup.
In the whole game, 9 of 13 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and efficiently bombed down the data of 30 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, which is the biggest contributor to the team's win.
Considering that this is the first playoff game of Poole's career, being able to deliver such an impressive performance also makes the future of this rising star worth looking forward to.
After handing over the impressive performance, Poole thanked the coaching staff for the first time after the game, admitting that the coaching team had made all the plans and was only ready to appear.
Poole then boasted about all the veterans in the team at once, saying that there was nothing better than playing next to a group of veterans with extensive combat experience, and it was very cool to gain their trust.
Finally, do not forget to praise Dream Green by name, use "arrow characters" to describe the role positioning of Dream In the Warriors, and point out that after entering the playoffs, Dream Chase has obviously handed over a higher level of performance, bringing different energy to the whole team.
A number of veterans also praised the up-and-coming, among them, Claire supported Poole to win the most improved player award, bluntly saying that if Poole did not get this award, then this award would lose its significance.
Curry gave Poole great recognition, saying that Poole proved that he could be ready at any moment, which is the result of his continuous efforts.
At the same time, Curry revealed that the main reason why he is willing to start from the bench and slowly find his form in this game is to see Poole's excellent state.
However, Poole's hot state has also brought a lot of sweet troubles to the Warriors, that is, who will be the starter in the next game between him and Curry.
Faced with this relatively sensitive topic, Poole gave a very high emotional intelligence answer after the game, that is, "no comment".
Head coach Kerr is also pending, saying in a post-match interview that everything will be decided before the start of the next game.
