Warriors 123-107 Nuggets, made the playoffs a good start!
With 2 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, Green held the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to play a Warriors signature carding tactic, but the Nuggets defended well, Curry did not run out of the empty space, and Green passed the ball to him to hold the ball and singled out and did not find the opportunity.
With 6 seconds left on offense, Curry returned the ball to Green to play a hand-to-hand hand between the two. But Jamekau-Green was in the shadows, Curry couldn't get rid of the opportunity, and seeing that 24 seconds were coming, Green rushed to jokic and shot a three-pointer.
Mr. Yo did not lose his position, and in terms of Green's shooting rate and the urgency of the situation at that time, the probability of this goal being scored was very small, but the basketball eventually hollowed out into the net! With 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the third quarter, the Warriors led the Nuggets by 19 points at 87-68.
It was a symbolic goal, symbolizing victory's complete fall to the Warriors' side, and Green fired one last shot at the Heart of the Nuggets, with a precise hit.
First, a wave of warriors
In the second quarter of 3 minutes and 32 seconds, About Teacher played Green in the low position, and Green held firmly in the next set, while constantly pulling on Teacher Joe's jersey. Coach Malone stomped his feet on the sidelines, and eventually the referee whistle blew Green's foul, and the Nuggets also led the Warriors by three points at 43-40.
But at the end of the second quarter, the Warriors led the Nuggets by 11 points at 58-47, which means that in these 3 and a half minutes, the Nuggets hit the Warriors in a wave of 18-4!
After this wave, the Nuggets never turned over again. So where did this wave come about?
At 3:16, Poole green blocked the break and hit a three-pointer to draw 43-43;
At 2 minutes and 55 seconds, Poole counter-attacked and beat Barton 2+1, and the Warriors countered the three-pointer 46-43;
At 2 minutes and 40 seconds, Clay broke through about the teacher's layup and hit a layup, 48-43;
At 1 minute and 45 seconds, Green arced the top to cover Clay, and Clay came out to receive a pass from Poole to hit a three-pointer, 51-43;
1 minute and 16 seconds, Green's low position, Curry took advantage of Gordon's lax defense to cut in, received Green's pass and scored, 53-45;
On 37.1 seconds, Green scored a foul on Wiggins' basket, 55-45;
On 5.6 seconds, Curry Green arced at the top of the classic give &go to match, Curry shot the first three-pointer of the game, 58-45.
This wave fully reflects the gap between the Nuggets and the Warriors.
Second, where is the gap?
First, the Warriors scored more points, the Warriors' 18 points Riple 6 points, Klay 5 points, Curry 5 points, Wiggins 2 points.
On the other hand, the Nuggets only scored 4 points in the same period - Barton made a breakthrough, about the teacher a throw, and all the others hung up.
It's not just a nuggets' problem, it's a problem for the entire game, and it's also a problem for continuing the entire series.
The third quarter of this game was spent, and the data at the end of the third quarter can more intuitively reflect this: the Nuggets have 70 points for the whole team, about 23 points for the teacher alone, followed by Patton's 10 points, and the score is completely broken.
The Warriors had 90 points, Poole 23, Klay 19, Curry 11, and Wiggins and Green's 9 points.
Mr. Joe himself was not feeling well, Green defended him well, but he still passed some opportunities, but his teammates could not shoot as always. At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets' outside line was only 5 of 24, shooting 20.8%, and the more the Nuggets could not shoot, the smaller the space for the teacher to operate.
The second gap is the Nuggets' lack of targeting.
You look at these offenses of the Warriors, either playing about teachers blocking and dismantling defenses - teachers today's defensive performance is definitely below the regular season benchmark, or playing the nuggets' defensive problems on the outside, such as Barton, who is being taken care of.
The Warriors are trying their best to form a misalignment on the court, and you won't see the Warriors going to play Gordon or Green on the front line.
But the Nuggets played around just to practice the teacher, Barton broke through Poole once made my eyes light up, yes, the Warriors' five small has a defensive weakness like Pooler, the Nuggets you hit him.
For an offensive player, if you can't defend him, you can't make him too comfortable on the defensive end. Unfortunately, the Nuggets didn't mean to target Poole.
Speaking of the matter of practicing the teacher, the Warriors have placed so many five small, and the Nuggets' main job of the teacher is not impossible. But can we do two covers to help the teacher replace Green, play misalignment, or let him move to a deep position without the ball to catch the ball directly.
None of this was seen, anyway, it was to turn over and let The Teacher Jo play back, attracting the defense and passing the ball. In this way, the exhausted teacher Nuggets can only be swept away, and in terms of pertinence, the Nuggets are too far away from the Warriors.
Third, Curry? Little Poole!
After a month of Curry's comeback, as soon as he made a comeback, the warriors were noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers were fired in unison, red flags were displayed, and there were many people.
Cole also gave him a comeback gift: Xiao Ku, you go to the bench.
Hey, Curry really went on the bench. All the superstars are Curry's good temper, change someone early big mouth called up, buddy superstar you let me substitute?
How to say this character of Curry, there are good and bad...
The end result was that Poole played 30 minutes, scoring 30 points and 3 assists on 9-of-13 shooting. Curry played 21 minutes, shooting 5-of-13 and having 16 points and 4 assists.
It can be seen that Curry's playing time limit should be around 20 minutes. But they are all 13 shots, but the score is doubled, no wonder there are legends on the rivers and lakes that "Curry - Little Poole".
You're talking about the Splash Brothers, pool and Clay, who teamed up to shoot 10 three-pointers and cut 49 points together, right?
So why is this happening?
First, of course, is the feel problem. Curry has not played for a month and needs time to find his feel, and because of Curry's absence, Poole has been flying high in the past month, which is when the feel is hot.
Second, the defensive pressures faced are different.
After all, Curry is Curry, and he is still Curry without playing for a month, so all the cover related to Curry, the Nuggets are all strictly guarded, and the teacher has to come out of the box to delay the pinch.
But Poole was different, it was the first time in his career to play in the playoffs, the Nuggets did not give him special care, he was still able to rely on single block cover to appear a lot of opportunities.
"Team battles can be lost, Curry must die" has become a consensus.
Poole don't kill, and if you kill like this, there are only three words to give to the warriors.
Thanks for reading it all!
