Beijing time on April 22, the NBA playoffs continue, the Nuggets home to meet the Warriors, the first two games of the rout so that the Nuggets have reached the brink of struggle, the new version of the death of the five small collocation let them suffer, how to reduce the pressure for Jokic has become the Biggest problem for the Nuggets at the moment. On the other hand, the Warriors, as the season deepened, the performance got better and better, Curry played a super performance on the bench, and Poole also proved his worth with two 59-point performances. In the whole game, this is the most exciting game in the past three games, the two sides have been entangled until the last second, the intensity of the playoffs is very well displayed in this game, helplessly, the last moment the Warriors are high, although Jokic poured everything out, but in the face of the absolute gap, the Nuggets lost to the Warriors 113-118, and the series score was 0-3 behind the opponent.
In the first quarter of the game, the Nuggets used their advantages in the inner line to frequently attack the inside line, and the Warriors continued to rely on their silky feel to open fire on the outside line, it is clear that today's Nuggets played more actively, although the Warriors side hit three points in succession, but did not open the point difference. In the second quarter, the two sides began to shoot three points, and it was clear that the Nuggets could not withstand the Warriors' firepower suppression, and finally at the end of the half game, the Warriors extended their lead to 10 points.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Nuggets began to counterattack, a wave of 21-6 offensive small climax to take advantage of the score, but the Splash Brothers quickly responded, a wave of 7-0, the point difference was flattened again, it is worth mentioning that in this game, Green and Poole suffered from injuries, fortunately it was not serious, and finally the third quarter ended, the Nuggets overtook the score. The game entered the final moments, the two sides began to tug-of-war, and finally the Warriors helped the team to take the lead with Wiggins' three-pointers and key rebounds, and finally the Nuggets completely lost the opportunity to turn over after Poole and Curry scored consecutive goals.
Throughout the game, the two teams showed us a high-quality battle, the Nuggets' advantage in the inner line was very obvious, and the Warriors' outside touch was also vividly displayed. This game did not lose suspense early as in the previous games, in fact, in Xiao Feng's view, it is Jokic who performed too well, 37 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, which is the data handed over by Jokic, it is obvious that the Warriors' five small lineups can not limit Jokic, although the Nuggets lost today, but Xiao Feng feels that the Nuggets should play their own internal advantages in the case of an uneven lineup, only in this way can they have a chance to fight.
After saying Jokic, we need to talk about the Warriors, coincidentally, Curry continues to play the position of the bench, in the eyes of Xiao Feng, this should be Curry's last game as a substitute position, although Poole played well in the starting position, but the lack of experience This is an established fact, let Curry go to the bench to play, Cole This is overkill, and even played a restrictive role for Curry.
The Warriors can win today, thanks to the play of the whole team, to put it bluntly, the shooting rate is too high, the end of the game, the Warriors' three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%, even in this case, the Warriors still can not open the score, in addition to the internal line does not have an advantage, Xiao Feng feels that Curry should be accompanied by more high-quality players, rather than marginal players on the bench, which will greatly limit Curry's play.
The Nuggets' biggest reliance is still Jokic, when the fourth quarter game is deadlocked, the Warriors feel good, but please don't forget that Jokic is also unrestricted, today the Warriors feel good, if not allowed, what to do? So even if it is a 3-0 lead, the Warriors still face a big problem, the five small lineups are indeed strong, but not invincible, facing the next stronger opponents, I hope Kerr will make more changes.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
