On April 22, Beijing time, the Warriors continued to play against the Nuggets at home, ushering in the second game of the first round of the playoffs. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 118-113, and the series score became 3-0 The current situation is already very unfavorable for the Nuggets, Jokic 37 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, without Murray, let Jokic play very bad in the playoffs, after all, the single core team is much more difficult.
In this game, the Warriors continued to let Curry substitute, and young Player Poole started in place of Curry. Obviously, the Warriors attach great importance to Curry's state, so they are also very cautious in using Curry, after all, Curry is the leader of the Warriors and the absolute core of the team. Poole also lived up to expectations and continued to be in good shape on the offensive end. Playing 34 minutes and having 27 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Poole has performed very well as a substitute for Curry. In addition, Klay scored 26 points and Curry 27 points. It can be seen that Curry's state is very good, and the feel is gradually picking up. With the Warriors' current performance and the overall state of the team, there is still the strength to fight for the championship.
Today's Warriors can be said to be five smaller than the death of the past, or even more than that. Poole's outburst was something the Warriors didn't expect, but think about it in turn, which one of the strengths that can enter the NBA to play is not the top? It's just that Poole has taken the opportunity very well, Curry's rest is a good opportunity for him, and he has proved his strength and is fully capable of entering the starting lineup. Moreover, you know, it's the playoffs now, so Poole's performance is still very high. This may also lead to a larger contract for him.
There are a lot of fans who are very concerned about the question, that is, when will Curry be able to return to the starting lineup? Back in the first game of the playoffs against the Nuggets, Kerr also made it clear that Curry would soon be back in the starting lineup. Although Pooler has performed well, he still can't shake Curry's starting position, you know, Curry is now the top star in the league. When Curry returns to the starting lineup, perhaps Poole will be the sixth person in the Warriors, a bit like the role of Iguodala. However, Poole is more inclined to the offensive end, and Iguodala is a player with a balanced attack and defense. Now that the Nuggets have been cornered, it's hard to turn the tables over 0-3, and if they are eliminated in the first round, Jokic may also be the first MVP star to be swept in the first round of the playoffs.
