Jokic, who sent explosive stats in succession, was ultimately unable to bargain with the full-fledged Warriors, playing only 5 games in the first round of the playoffs, ending the season. The Nuggets' performance in the playoffs in recent years is obvious to all, and they have played the worst season before, and at least made it to the Western Conference semifinals, and it is really painful to be kicked out of the Golden State Warriors early this time. But the reality is always so harsh, and the Warriors have already held their breath after two seasons of missing the playoffs.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors showed many highlights in the process of beating the Nuggets 4-1 and becoming the first team in the West to advance to the second round. Among them, there are Jordan Poole, who plays the style of team leader, there is also Dream Green, who constantly attacks, and Curry, who always maintains efficient output. That's right, in the last 5 games, Jordan Poole has performed quite well. Especially in the game that led the team to help the team open the playoffs, Poole only played 30 minutes, and with an efficient shooting rate of 5 of 7 from three points and 9 of 13 from the field, he delivered the highest score of 30 points in the game and helped the team complete a 16-point victory.
According to statistics, Poole also handed over a comprehensive data of averaging 21.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the first round of the playoff series. That is to say, in the past 5 games, Poole has accumulated 105 points, taking on a lot of pressure in the scoring segment. Some say Poole has gradually replaced Klay as Curry's most trusted playoff helper. But who would have thought that Clay, who suffered two consecutive season reimbursements, was not destroyed by injuries, and Curry could continue to give his back to him.
That's right, in the last 5 games, Clay has played a role in both offensive and defensive ends for all to see. When the team's offense is blocked, he can make a fixed-point explosion on the outside line and use the three-point advantage to give the team a certain advantage; but in the process of the team's passive defense, Clay can always achieve a steal unexpectedly and lead the team to complete a wonderful counter-attack. In the first round of the playoff series, Clay did not disappoint, handing over a comprehensive stat of 22.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals. After five games, Clay has accumulated 123 points, which is still one of the team's most trusted scoring points.
Clay and Poole averaged more than 20 points per game in the first round of the series, but what about Curry, who played four bench games and only got one starter? Reality is always full of surprises and surprises. Even in the position of substitute, Curry can play his team leader, the style of the historic three-point king. Whether in the starting position or on the bench, Curry can perform freely: in five games, he has hit 19 three-pointers (ranked 3rd in the league) and averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game (ranked 4th). He continues the style of the historical three-point king, and the performance on the scoring end is naturally not a problem.
In five playoff games, Curry contributed at least 25 points in four games, including at least 30 points in a single game. Indeed, in addition to playing 22 minutes off the bench and handing over 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in his playoff debut, Curry's other four games have reached the standard of a league superstar. Now, with the end of the first-round series of the playoffs, Curry has completely come out of injury and returned to his starting position, and it is time for the Warriors to sound the clarion call to impact the championship.
