Beijing time on April 22, the first round of the playoffs G3 continued, the Warriors came to the Nuggets' plateau home, but the attack had no impact, although Jokic broke out to get 37 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists, but Poole + Curry + Klay, 3 people combined to bomb 80 points, leading the Warriors 118-113 victory over the Nuggets, the series of big score 3-0 lead.
It can be said that the Warriors' promotion is already a suspenseful thing, because there has never been a team in history that can achieve a reversal in the case of 0-3 behind, not to mention that the Warriors' advantage in these 3 games is so obvious that the Nuggets can't resist at all. To paraphrase Maddy's famous quote: The Warriors can already think about their opponents in the next round. The US media FW is more optimistic about the Warriors, who can return to the Finals after a gap of 3 years, and gives 5 reasons to support: the defensive configuration is top-notch, and the splash tea is too strong
5. The strongest bench defense in the league
The Warriors have peyton jr., Porter, Iguodala and other high-quality flanks, of which Peyton Jr.'s 1-on-1 defense is definitely the top of the league, he has super physical fitness, and the old Payton even doubts whether Peyton Jr. is related to Carl Malone, otherwise why would it be so strong. In 17.6 minutes of playing time, he contributed 1.4 steals in the league's 16th. Iguodala and Porter can also misplace multiple positions. These players are the second most important reason for the Warriors' defensive efficiency in the league.
4) Wiggins is one of the best 3Ds
In the regular season, Wiggins was close to 40% three-point shooting, averaging 2.2 three-pointers per game, and his autonomous offense was certainly not outstanding, but his ability to seize opportunities was too strong. On the defensive end, Wiggins' impact is not much worse than Smart and Bridges, he is an All-Star starter, and his ability is naturally top-notch.
3. Dream Chaser - Green is in the league's top five defenders
In the first half of the season, Green's DPOY was also very loud, and before he was injured, the Warriors lost the league's first fewest points per game and lost 5 points less than the second place. Playoffs against MVP Jokic, Green's first two games also made him very uncomfortable on the offensive end, like a trapped beast.
2. Poole played great in the playoffs
In 3 games, Poole scored 30 points, 29 points, 27 points, even Curry, not as shiny as Poole, and this is only Poole's first playoff trip. He has too many scoring methods in the game, unreasonable three-pointers, mid-range shots, fast breakthroughs, playing like a scoring king. Now the Warriors' opponents should have a headache, and the Warriors really have too many outside scorers.
1. Splash returns
The combination of Curry and Klay is the foundation of the Warriors' dynasty, and last season Curry proved his form by winning the scoring champion, but Klay has been injured for more than 2 years. However, after his return, Clay's form is getting better and better, averaging 22 points in 3 playoff games. With Curry, the Warriors will have a lot more tailwinds, with Clay, the Warriors no longer have to worry about playing headwinds, and G6 Clay is notoriously strong.
