On April 19, Beijing time, the Warriors' new version of the Death Five can be said to be the hottest combination since the beginning of the playoffs. The data doesn't lie, let's take a look at how strong this five-person group really is?
In the past two playoff games, the combination of Curry, Thompson, Poole, Wiggins and Green played 10 minutes and 55 seconds together, and the offensive efficiency was a terrifying 204.3 points per 100 rounds, the league first, the defensive efficiency was 75 points lost in 100 rounds, and the net efficiency was exaggerated 129.3, also ranking first in the league, far surpassing the other 5-man group in the league. In other words, with every round, the Warriors' lineup can win as many as 1.293 points over the Nuggets.
Conventional data, when this set of 5 people is on the court, it has hit 17 goals in 22 shots, shooting a shooting rate of 77.3%, ranking first in the league. On 7-of-8 shooting from three points, the shooting percentage is a terrifying 87.5%, which is also the first in the league. Moreover, the total plus-minus value of +29 is also the first in the league.
Green said of the lineup, with a smile on his face, "This is simply a passer's paradise, and when all three of them are on the floor at the same time, it's really heaven for me as a passer." ”
Cole explains, "We had envisioned playing this way before, and when Draymond played 5, we played some different squad combinations, before there was Kevin Durant, before there was Harrison Barnes, and Iguodala was also part of this combination. So Clay, Stephen, and Dreamcatcher are all very well suited to this style. ”
Now, though, Cole is also suffering from the annoyance of happiness. As Green put it, "We have to have Curry in the starting lineup, so, you know, we're not going to let Stephen play as a substitute all the time, but, eventually Poole will play as a starter, and that's what we need to solve now." But I'm not the kind of guy who will get my nerves, and Cole will fix that. ”
The next game to the Nuggets home, Kerr will start the king bomb, or Curry continue to be a substitute, continue to play the league's most expensive sixth-man role? See.
