The NBA playoffs continued, the Warriors and Nuggets had a fifth game, the warriors led 3-1 before the game, although the Nuggets stole a victory, but the Warriors who returned to the Chase Center will not give the Nuggets a chance, and the home fans have celebrated in advance. Surprisingly, the Warriors did not play a dominant game, even scored only 18 points in the second quarter, the Nuggets are a team that will seize the opportunity, the first half of the war, the two sides into a draw, really should not believe O'Neal, saying that this game will the Warriors will hang the Nuggets. In the third quarter of the game, the Nuggets let people see the hope of victory, surpassing 8 points to enter the fourth quarter, is this a rhythm that is going to be upset? In the final quarter of the battle, fans finally saw a normal Warriors, the beginning of the game played a wave of 18-6 small climax to overtake the score, but the Nuggets who have established confidence did not give up, Jokic turned the river on the inside, the game entered a white-hot state, at the critical moment, Peyton Jr. and Curry joined forces to cut 5 points to lay the victory, and finally the Warriors won by 4 points, and the big score was 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.
In this game, the Warriors did not play at a normal level, Kerr's temporary change of team is an important factor, he may also want to try the power of the new death five, it turns out that he is too small to look at the Nuggets. Anyone who has watched the game knows that Poole's performance is so bad that he only scored B points on 3-of-10 shooting, and if it were not for Curry's efforts to turn the tide at a critical moment, the Warriors would have to take a trip to the Denver Plateau. Cole is a mature championship coach, I can't imagine that he also has a rush side, Curry played a very good substitute, why should he be transferred to the starting, of course, fans know that Curry is actually a fake substitute, the purpose of this is so that he can slowly adapt to the rhythm of the game. If it is wise to adjust Curry to start, then matching Poole is a dangerous move, he has attacked well in the first few games, but the defensive ability is really not good.
As we all know, the Warriors' biggest shortcoming is still on the inside, Green although the defensive ability is good, but there is a disadvantage in height, when facing a standard big man, he can not limit the opponent, Jokic's data says it all, therefore, the Warriors must use the firepower of the outside line to make up for the lack of the inside line, after this game, it turns out that Curry, Thompson and Poole are not suitable for starting at all. Green has always valued Poole and is bitter that he lost the Most Improved Player of the Year award, he believes that a superstar like Morant does not need to participate in the award, he is already in the ranks of stars. Of course, from this round of the series, it is also clear that whether it is offense, defense, or leadership, Poole and Morant are too different, he still has to continue to work hard, it is worth mentioning that the next round of the two sides are likely to talk directly on the field.
