Warriors get back the five little essences! Should the Nuggets go and copy the fire war?

In the first game, Curry made a hasty comeback and could not play in 100% form. But Poole picked up Curry's playoff buff directly, and the first game didn't look like a newcomer at all. The look and feel of the whole game is that the Warriors used the "five small" to deal with Jokic's single-core operation and won a beautiful victory.

There wasn't much probing on either side. As soon as the opening came up with their own strategies, Poole played as the starting point guard, and Clay and Poole, like the former splash brothers, formed a double shot on the outside. Combined with Green's arc top serve, it directly played the momentum of the championship period.

Before the match, this group of duels was still quite interesting. The Warriors' internal protection has not been very good, just met the MVP level of the teacher, can score and pass, in the characteristics of the team can be regarded as "the middle of the soft underbelly", the Warriors can easily win the first game, the reason is several points:

Warriors: Recovering the "Strongest Version" of the Championship Era

Warriors get back the five little essences! Should the Nuggets go and copy the fire war?

The Warriors in the 5 years and 3 crowns period, the tactics are "clear cards", but there is no good way to defend.

Green, who is most familiar with this system of transmission and cutting, is the soul of the outer line. In the first quarter of the game, there were 4 assists. The Nuggets stubbornly chose not to change defenses, and the Warriors' dazzling running positions, empty cuts and no-ball cover often made the Nuggets lose people at a certain point in the offensive round, and Green's pass was always accurately guided.

This "multi-axis system" plus more than 2 elite pitchers, this set of classic systems for the Warriors to bring 3 championship trophies, ordinary defensive defensive ideas can certainly not be limited, in order to compete with the Warriors offensive system, the Rockets specially developed a full "unlimited change of defense", which can be called a representative of the high-intensity defensive level of the playoffs. The Nuggets' defense of not changing defenses from time to time with the loss of attackers is obviously unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Nuggets: How to use Aaron Gordon?

On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets here, the lineup is quite difficult to play.

They were once the most competitive team in the West, but injuries have knocked down two main players at once: Murray, who can swim outside the system and score consecutive points with his personal ability, Porter Jr., a tall shooter who has been stable for a period of 20+, and two players who are very important to the offensive system have missed this playoff.

The lack of autonomous offensive capabilities has also led to the Nuggets' difficulty in solving the problem of offensive coherence. In the first half, Aaron Gordon shot 1-of-7, including 2 empty three-pointers. Gordon is not a player with the ability to attack autonomously, without the guidance of a good system, which is especially evident in the playoffs.

The Warriors' defensive strategy is to let Jokic come to "single-belt" the Nuggets, choosing to let Jokic get more singles opportunities, including more shots outside the three-point line. The impact is that Jokic's assist rate is lower than in the regular season. Aaron Gordon was very good at playing in the regular season: empty cuts, cover blocks and then down the basket to score, which could not be played under the Warriors' defense. At the same time, his own hand is not good, and there are no three-pointers in the whole game.

In the first game, the Nuggets' three-point shooting rate was only 32.4%, the team could not open the outside line, Jokic could only fall into a bitter battle under the basket, constantly eating Rooney and Green, relying on this way, the Warriors successfully cut off Jokic's connection with the team, and at the other end of the court, Thompson and Poole continued to calmly fire on the outside and firmly occupy the lead.

Nuggets: It is difficult for a woman to cook without rice

The first game was lost and the loser went into adjustment mode.

But the Nuggets' adjustment scale is relatively limited, and they do not have sufficient manpower and tactical options like the Warriors. The Warriors' classic system will be used throughout the series, and as for the Nuggets wanting to win, they can only consider how to "pick up" defensively.

Defensive ideas, the fire war has given a template, but in practice, not every team has enough configuration. The Nuggets don't have many players who can follow the Warriors indefinitely, and at the same time, their offense relies heavily on Jokic, which makes them unable to come up with reasonable ideas to improve the defensive system at this stage.

But no matter what, how to limit Green's direct "precision guidance" outside the three-point line, and how to restrict Poole, Thompson and Curry's use of blocking and running positions to "infinite brush points", is the next focus of the Nuggets. The former question still has ideas to solve, as for the Warriors' elite pitchers, who will stand up in the next game? Malone may have to leave this to fate.
