The Warriors led the Nuggets 2-0, in fact, the results of the first two games, most fans can predict. The Nuggets don't have Murray, no Potter, just a Jokic, and he alone certainly can't stand it. But the Nuggets lost the game, but what no one expected was that the two losses were three quarters of collapse, the last quarter was almost garbage time, and the Nuggets almost lost to the Warriors. And when the two teams come and go in the regular season showdown, the gap between the nuggets and the warriors is not so large, and the interior advantage of the nuggets in the playoffs seems to be less obvious, and the nuggets have not woken up the warriors' pain points at all.
G1 when the Nuggets rebounds even lost to the Warriors, the advantage of the inner line is not large, on the point of Jokic is difficult to defend, but in the end Jokic only 25 shots to cut 25 points, the efficiency is very general, the Warriors are not afraid. The G2 Nuggets played the advantage of the inside line, grabbing 17 frontcourt rebounds in the whole game, but it seems that the Warriors did not hurt the bones at all, and the Warriors instead intensified their small lineups. The Nuggets have an inside advantage, but it doesn't seem to be that big, and the Warriors don't seem to be afraid of Jokic' point, where does this interior advantage go?
First of all, Jokic this point the Warriors really can't defend, really can't prevent, G2 exploded in the first quarter, the Warriors have no way, Jokic, whether it is the feel or confrontation, is obviously more outstanding. The Warriors can't defend Jokic but that doesn't mean they can't limit Jokic, and Mr. Jokic is one person under the basket, but the Warriors are three or four people against him. GreenRuni and Belitsa, the three of them are taking turns to defend Jokic, constantly consuming him, three people to fight him, during which there are also mushroom cameos in the center of the basket under the hard top, three or four people to fight with Jokic to consume his physical strength. On the other hand, the Warriors who saw Jokic who surprised him, Jokic played 28 minutes, ate 5 fouls, and finally was a continuous technical offense, and the mentality was a bit out of balance.
And the Warriors have been near the basket to cut Jokic's ball, and once Jokic doesn't pay attention to the ball and is taken away, Curry and Peyton Jr. always inadvertently wait for him to turn around. The bottom line is that the Warriors are a fast-paced team, frantically rotating and offense, running all over the field. What is Jokic's body type? A large lump of "pork belly" body shape, jogging is OK, continuous sprinting for several rounds of physical exhaustion is almost exhausted, playing to the end Jokic's goals are kneaded into, really can't move. Jokic gave him twenty or so points at this point, but these twenty points had little impact on the overall situation of the game, and the Nuggets' advantage was not obvious.
And the nuggets other people's words are left with a high cousins, defense Cousins is purely engaged in mentality, 12 minutes Cousins 3 fouls, his high point has not yet been played to be taken down. The Nuggets' internal advantage has been worn out a little bit, which is very uncomfortable, and the Nuggets are empty advantages that cannot be played. Although the rebounds are fierce, but the third quarter of the game naturally collapses, although Jokic wants to desperately save the disadvantage, but the two fists are difficult to fight four hands, the Nuggets' ball is still not easy to win.
