On April 28, Beijing time, in the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 4-1 and successfully advanced to the next round.
In this series, the Warriors will have a good performance. Curry went from bench to starter, getting better and better. Klay Thompson also found the feeling before the injury. Dream chased after successfully limiting Jokic on the defensive end, and Poole also had a good performance in the first three games. Relying on the outbreak of the "new death five small", the Warriors successfully advanced to the next round by defeating the Nuggets.
The Warriors will play well, but the role players will have someone to pull on the crotch, such as Otto Porter. The coach often has a bright performance in the regular season, averaging 8.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and shooting 37% from three-point range. With his excellent defensive ability and one-handed three-point shooting ability, he became an important member of the Warriors' bench.
But in this round of playoffs, Otto Porter's three-pointer was completely inaccurate. In the past five games, Otto Porter has shot 2-of-13 from outside the three-point line and shot just a pitiful 15.4 percent from the field. His average also dropped to 3.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Compared to the regular season, Otto Porter's score plummeted by 4.8 points, rebounded 2.5 fewer, and averaged only 0.5 more assists per game.
As an anti-aircraft cannon on the Warriors' bench, Otto Porter wants to find his touch as soon as possible in the next round of the playoffs. After all, his contract with the Warriors will expire this summer, and if he wants to sign a contract that exceeds the base salary, Otto Porter must play in the playoffs.
