On April 20, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs were in full swing. In a Western Focus game yesterday, the Warriors beat the Nuggets 126-106 at home to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
In the two games that have now ended, the Warriors have shown strong attack power. Warriors coach Kerr used the new Death Five combination in the game: Curry, Klay, Poole, Wiggins and Green. According to statistics, this fivesome played a total of 11 minutes in the first two games, and the net victory over the opponent reached a terrifying 29 points. Their offensive efficiency reached 204.3 (scores per 100 rounds), defensive efficiency was 75.0 (opponents scored per 100 rounds), and the net efficiency value reached 129.3 (129.3 points per 100 rounds), which is incredibly efficient.
Regarding the strength of the Warriors in these two games, the Magic Johnson tweeted: "Now this Warriors team is completely healthy, they have a super high basketball IQ, and Kerr has the ability to make adjustments to the game in one game." And Curry, Thompson, Green, Cole all have championship pedigree, and I now choose them to be able to break out of the West! ”
Famed commentator A-Smith also praised the Warriors on the show, saying, "Curry and Thompson are recognized as the best shooting backcourts of all time. Now that they have more Poole, have you noticed his range? His dry shot from the logo position is almost like the splash brothers. Of course, Poole is more imitating Curry, because Thompson mainly catches the ball and shoots, while Poole can dribble the ball and pull it directly, he can also break through to the basket after getting rid of it, and the weapon he has is deadly. ”
A-Smith also praised the Warriors' new 5-team, saying: "In the Warriors' small lineup, five people can handle the ball, and at least four of them have the ability to shoot long distances, and even Green can shoot one or two. The other three have super long ranges and I think they're the team most likely to stop the Suns. Because their shooting ability is too strong and they can be consistent on the field, talent is one thing, but it is also important to be able to maintain the same frequency. ”
According to the schedule, game 3 of the series between the Warriors and Nuggets will take place on April 22, when the Nuggets will return to play at home.
