Curry 30 points, warriors home win! Cole strained too well, morant retired injured, 34 points empty cut

The Warriors beat the Grizzlies 142-112 to give them a 2-1 lead!

Back at home, Kerr changed the lineup to put Cuminga on the starting line, his idea should be the Grizzlies main defense Warriors three-pointer, defensive expansion, in the absence of embiid such a big man can enrich the interior offense, can only increase the vertical impact, so the excellent physical talent of Cumminga is an option.

But the effect... It can only be said that there is no egg, and Cuminga is still much worse in terms of competition experience.

After watching this game, there is only one feeling: the Grizzlies have no one who can play except Morant; the Warriors have no one who can't play except Cumminga.

Chen Haonan ate well in Causeway Bay in those years, and there was no difference between wanting to come to San Francisco, so there was no suspense in victory or defeat. Of course, the Warriors and Grizzlies game, at least one per game, this sledgehammer Anderson clocked in early.

First, the Warriors' offense has changed

Kerr put Cumminga into the starting lineup in order to improve the offense, which means that in his mind, the Warriors' first two games of offense are more problematic than defensive.

It is also true that although Morant scored 81 points and 18 assists in the first two games, the Warriors' overall thinking was correct, pinching the inside line to put three points. Morant has made nine three-pointers in the first two games, and he can only say that he is strong, and he has thrown all of them when he put the Warriors on him.

But no matter how many three-pointers Morant shoots, his lethality in breaking into the interior must be stronger than three-pointers, so the Warriors' defense can't change, especially without the outside defense sharp knife Peyton Jr.

Some people will ask, what if Morant scored 5 three-pointers in the field?

If that does happen, it means that Morant has grown to another level, and he's been promoted with the Grizzlies. But who believes Morant can score five three-pointers per game? Kerr won't believe it anyway, because Curry won't necessarily be able to do it in the playoffs.

So The specific idea of Kerr's offense is, didn't the Grizzlies not give the Warriors three points? In fact, as long as the inside score is well grasped, it is a more stable way to score than three points, because the basketball court is always closer to the basket, the higher the probability of scoring.

The Warriors only shot 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, which translates to four quarters, which is 20 three-point shots, not to mention the Warriors, which is rare in any team in the NBA today.

But they scored 10 of 14 inside the line, shooting as high as 71.4%, the Warriors scored 26 points in the first quarter, and the inside scored 20 points, accounting for 77%! After the start set the tone, the Warriors carried it throughout the game.

The third quarter of this game was spent, so let's look at the game data at the end of the third quarter: the Warriors scored 101 points in the third quarter - 101 points in the whole game, including 50 points on the inside line, 10 of 19 three-pointers, and did not shoot much but were extremely efficient.

In contrast, the Grizzlies only scored 28 points on the inside at the end of the third quarter, almost half of the Warriors, but 33 shots on the outside. The Grizzlies are originally an inside team, and floating to the outside line is like missing two bear paws, and it is difficult to compete with the Warriors.

As for how the Warriors managed to break through the Grizzlies' interior, the answer was simple: abandon the multi-axis empty-cut system and give the ball to Curry to be blocked by him + multi-point spurt.

The playoffs are simpler and simpler to play, because complexity means a high turnover rate, and playoff mistakes can be fatal if they are caught. The Grizzlies' defense is fierce enough, including a lot of pressing and pressure, and the ball is definitely the most stable in Curry's hands.

So the Warriors played a lot of Curry and Green to block this time, by the two of them to attract multiple people to defend, and then green to deal with other people to catch the ball for the second time to break through, after a few sudden points, the Grizzlies' defense can always be found by the Warriors.

The Warriors finished 25 assists in the third quarter, and 6 people with more than two assists. One would argue that they also had 16 turnovers, but half of those turnovers were concentrated in the first quarter.

Then when the Warriors attack through the Grizzlies' defenses, the Grizzlies can't get up and fight back, and the Warriors' defense is much easier.

Second, joint defense wins

The Warriors' defense was a tenet to keep the Grizzlies inside, so they used a lot of contraction in the opening half of the game, but the Grizzlies scored six consecutive three-pointers, and Kerr shouted out the first timeout.

After the timeout came back, the Warriors changed their defense and then gave the Grizzlies a complete no-go. In fact, the joint defense is mainly to protect the forbidden area, but the staring is changed to one person to guard an area, and after the change to the joint defense, Morant's middle breakthrough is completely blocked, and the Grizzlies' attack can only be ineffectively transmitted on the outside.

The effect of joint defense is good, the Warriors have been using it, three two, two three, one stare at the four leagues, a lot of contractions, the Grizzlies are helpless, as if their plan did not think that the Warriors will swing joint defense, which obviously should not be ah.

Breaking the joint defense is mainly four points: a large number of counterattacks do not allow the joint defense formation to appear; the outside three points are accurate enough, just like philadelphia yesterday; the big man who can shoot and pass at the free throw line station, Jackson Jr. should take on more tasks; the bottom line should be ready to be cruised with guerrillas at any time.

Of course, the NBA also has direct use of 45 degrees to break the joint defense, but this requires the outside ball carrier to either be accurate or have a strong enough impact to burst from the joint to the inside line.

Bane is actually a good choice, but Bane doesn't know what's going on, this feels weird, holding the ball to break through and take the ball unsteadily, the overall speed is too slow. Another Grizzlies commando, Dillon, is still on suspension, and Coach Jenkins should miss Dillon's impact this time.

Bane couldn't, Dillon wasn't there, so the Grizzlies had to come and go and practice Morant. Morant scored another 34 points, but his two fists were difficult to defeat with four hands, and the good tiger could not stand the wolves, and he slammed down and injured his knee.

Morant's body is really good, and his playing style does suck powder, but he is really not the kind of brass and iron bone that James and Alphabet have. If he doesn't practice shooting well, he's likely to become a fleeting shooting star.

Thanks for reading it all!
