On June 3, the NBA Finals G1 began, the two sides played sparks, the pace of the game is also very fast, Curry in the first quarter of the 6 three-pointers, surpassing the Celtics all team single quarter hit three-point total, equalizing the historical record, while he shot 21 points in a single quarter, is also the highest score record in the last 26 NBA Finals since Jordan in 1996.
Before the game began, everyone was discussing that the Warriors and Celtics were the strongest contradictory duels, the Warriors were good at offense, and the Celtics' defense was very iron-blooded. But the Celtics' iron-blooded defense can be seen missing in the game, and the most direct embodiment is the level of restricting Curry. All opponents know that in order to limit the Warriors' performance, they must have multiple people to defend Curry and prevent him from finding the feel too soon. But this Finals G1 Celtics actually did to empty Curry, which appeared many times in the second half of the first quarter, and it was easy to shoot a three-point shot without pressure.
Curry's defensive strategy against the Celtics is also happy, which is equivalent to the Celtics letting Curry continue the feel of the pre-game warm-up, so there is Curry's 8-of-6 three-pointer in the single quarter, while also assisting Clay and others to score easily, and the Warriors quickly opened the rhythm on the offensive end.
Jeremy Lin said after seeing this: "I hope Curry can win the championship and FMVP, but don't get me wrong, he doesn't need FMVP or any other way to prove his great career." ”
Morant also praised Curry on social media.
In addition to Curry, Iguodala, who returned from this campaign, was also very relaxed, and after cooperating with his teammates, his mid-range shot did not encounter any tests, and he directly scored with an easy jump shot.
The Celtics defense is strong, keep in mind that the best defensive player in the NBA regular season this season is smarter of the Green Army, and today he gives more of the impression of shooting consecutive three-pointers in the opening game than the tough defense he is best at. When Curry didn't hold the ball, the Celtics let their guard down, and both Green Army players followed Poole, forming an open three-pointer when Curry received the ball, and the result was directly punished by Curry.
The fast pace of the Finals has also surprised many people, and more people are optimistic before the game that the warriors and Celtics pinpoint against McMang will definitely fight to the final stage. But it is clear that the Celtics want to play against the Warriors in the Chase Center, whether it is at the level of coordination or the outside, the Warriors must have the advantage, so they are also looking forward to the next adjustment of Uduka, they still have a chance.
