How did the Warriors of '19 lose their championships?
Toronto Raptors beat golden state warriors 4-2, and the warriors lost three consecutive championships!
I dare to pack tickets, KD is not injured, Clay is not injured, the Toronto Raptors simply can not win the championship of the year, even if Leonard is super god!
Clay is injured, KD runs away from Brooklyn, and a generation of Warriors collapses!
It took Clay two years to recover from injury, and after recovering, Clay became a ball carrier with a 30% share of the round, which is also the confidence given by Kerr. Many fans have called on Clay to play on the bench and even trade Clay. All in all, it's about giving way to Jordan Poole.
At the start of the playoffs, Clay no longer holds the ball, scoring 40 points in two games, shooting 8 of 18 from three-point range, more than 40% shooting, giving us a glimpse of the familiar Clay.
Curry played the role of Jordan Pooler due to injury problems, not only Jordan Pooler played well, averaging 29.5 points per game, Curry also found his sixth man role in the bench lineup. In its current form, Curry must continue to play as a substitute so that he can maximize the role of Jordan Pooler!
4-0, I think the Warriors will soon be able to take Jokic away. After all, Jokic's slowness doesn't match the Warriors' speed, and it's accurate!
And the new generation of five small lineups, Curry + Clay + Jordan Poole + Wiggins + Green, such a lineup, who can defend?
Previously, I thought the Suns were the biggest favorite to win the championship, with the best record in team history with 64 wins in the regular season, but with Booker's hamstring strain, I was not optimistic about the Suns! This injury, at least G6 can not play!
In the last game, we clearly saw that after Booker came off the court, the old Huang Zhong and Shamet who came up on the bench could not replace Booker's role at all. The game advantage that Booker established, under the impact of Ingram and CJ, was gone in an instant!
In fact, from the moment CJ joined the Pelicans, I thought the Pelicans were already a playoff-level team! From 1 win and 12 losses in the opening game, playing two consecutive games in the final playoffs, breaking into the playoffs, the Pelicans proved their strength!
The Pelicans are a team that is constantly layered, with CJ + Ingram + Varland on the offensive line and Herbert Jones + Tre Murphy + Hayes on the defensive line. The author feels that today's sun, it is very difficult to cross the pelicans! Even after crossing the Pelicans, the sun didn't go far at all because of Booker.
Originally, the defending champion Bucks had hopes to defend their title this season, but received an unfortunate news, the team's second leader Middleton knee ligament sprained. It is expected that Middleton will miss a week of games, which is still a first-degree strain; more seriously, it may not be able to play this playoff.
Without Middleton, alphabet brother alone, it was obviously impossible to rush out of the east. Middleton's projection ability, Middleton's key ball ability, is too important for the Bucks team! The author feels that now that the bull fights 1-1, it is not a small problem to pass the bull.
It is a pity that last year's championship is gone, and the overall runner-up is gone!
Let's take a look at the newly promoted hot Nets, who entered the playoffs as the seventh in the West and are favored by many. Now 0-2 to the edge of the cliff, the Celtics' defense allowed KD to play a bad game in these two games, a total of 13 of 41 shots, less than 30% shooting rate, and even at one point in the second half of G2 10 shots 0, his mother is more anxious than himself!
The Celtics' defensive strategy is very simple, that is, to pack KD, and constantly interfere with KD's ball protection, KD sent 12 mistakes in two games, which are the defensive strategies that the Celtics have long thought out. In Irving's defensive strategy, the way of assisting the defense was adopted, and the effect received was also very good.
The Nets' problem of not having the No. 5 position was exposed, Zhao Si was too tender, and Zhuang Shen was on the floor to lose points. KD can play the 5th position, but KD must have greater consumption, and inefficiency on the offensive end is the performance of KD consumption.
I think it's hard for the Nets to make it to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The 76ers, who are now in good shape, have led the Raptors 3-0, and the 76ers are indeed a strong team overall.
Maxi + Harden + Danny Green + Harris + Embiid, plus Rivers, this lineup is enough to compete for the title, and it is still very possible to go out of the East.
But you'd say the 76ers will be frustrated when they meet the Warriors, and the 76ers' front line is not hard in itself, and the Warriors' front line has excellent tough guys like Clay and Wiggins.
The 76ers' defensive talent at the back line simply can't stop the new splash brothers like Curry + Jordan Poole + Klay. And this year's Curry's defensive level has been significantly upgraded, coupled with the bench and a DPOY-level Payton, I think Harden is more likely to be defended. Today's Harden is no longer an MVP-level player, big belly, slow is the culprit!
I think this year's championship will retaliate against the Warriors, the Warriors have no injuries, and the Suns and Bucks have suffered almost devastating injuries, and the roster strength of other teams is not enough to compete with the Warriors. Perhaps, the Warriors want to get back the championship lost in 19 years!
