On April 30, Beijing time, the US media counted the five players who limited the opponent's best shooting rate in the first round of the playoffs this season, of which the Warriors' Drummond Green ranked first, and the specific ranking is as follows:
First, Golden State Warriors, Drummond Green: 11.6 percent; second, Phoenix Suns, Mikal Bridges: 11.9 percent; third, Phoenix Suns, Ayton: 13.9 percent; fourth, Miami Heat, Adebayo: 13.9 percent; fifth, Milwaukee Bucks, Holliday: 16.8 percent.
It is worth mentioning that in this round of the series, Bridges' performance is eye-catching. Especially in the G5, when the Pelicans faced Bridges defense, the Pelicans scored only 7 points on 3-of-17 shooting. CJ scored just 21 points on 7-of-22 shooting, 1-of-8 three-pointers, and 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting in Ingram. Throughout the series, against Bridges' defense, the Pelicans shot just 36 percent from the field and made 12 turnovers.
At the same time, from this data, it can be seen that Green is still very powerful on the defensive end. The Suns have two big players on the defensive end, with Adebayor in the Heat and Holliday in the Bucks still good at defense.
With the Warriors, Suns, Heat and Bucks all reaching the semifinals, how will they perform in the next game? Let's wait and see!
