Of course, shorting Bogans does not mean just ignoring it, there will still be interference.
Curry is guarding Bogans. He is two steps away from Bogans and is ready to help defend the basket at any time.
Although Curry cannot block shots to interfere with Duncan and McDyess' shooting, he can steal and prevent Duncan from passing to the basket.
This is enough.
Once the Spurs hit the ball into Bogans' hands, Curry quickly returned to defense, walked in front of Bogans in small steps, and stretched out his hand to interfere.
Yes, just interfere!
If you want to break through, there is no way. If you want to shoot, you have to think about it.
How do you know if I will pounce and block the shot?
Just a moment of hesitation is enough!
Top shooters' shooting percentages in the face of interference and open shots are very different, not to mention you are just an ordinary player!
To the delight of Spurs fans, Bogans was more confident today and took advantage of the openings given to him by the Warriors to hit three consecutive three-pointers.
This can be considered as a meal of dumplings in normal times!
But the Warriors didn't care.
After all, you are not a shooter. I accept your death!
I don’t believe I can lose compared to shooting!
If you want to bet, you must be thorough and don't hesitate.
One reason why the Warriors dare to do this is that the current Warriors defensive system is more layered than before, with few loopholes.
Ron Adams still has some skills on defense, and watching the video and having a meeting yesterday was very helpful.
This game is not like the last game against the Mavericks where mistakes were often made.
The team members all know what they want to do and where they want to be.
Just let Bogans go!
Defend the basket!
Don't let anyone else have a chance to shoot!
Of course, due to some changes in defensive strategy, there is still some gap between the Warriors' defense and the Spurs' defense.
However, the Warriors are much better than the Spurs on the offensive end, and their lineup is younger and more reasonable.
Deng Fang's purpose in joining this lineup is to attack!
I will compare my strengths with yours!
The same goes for the game.
Although the Spurs are highly disciplined and rarely make mistakes on the defensive end, they still cannot prevent the Warriors' offense.
There is no way, the lineup is naturally flawed.
It would be possible if Duncan were a few years younger, but now Duncan is 33 years old, and as a defensive axis, he is not as fast as before.
Although the Warriors had some difficulties on the defensive end and were forced to let Bogans go, the strong firepower on the offensive end allowed the Warriors to take the lead.
And the score difference is still slowly widening.
Popovich had to call a timeout again.
After the timeout, the Spurs replaced George Hill and replaced McDyess.
The Warriors used one senior and four juniors, and the Spurs also used one senior and four juniors. Richard Jefferson was pushed to the fourth position.
This change of formation still had its effect. The Warriors did not have so many open opportunities on the perimeter.
However, what followed was the loss of the inside line.
Duncan has to follow Lopez out to the three-point line, where no one can block the shot and interfere with the shot.
The Warriors kept going to the penalty area to score.
The difference continues to widen.
Popovich has no other options.
After finally reaching the substitute time, the two teams began to compete for substitutes.
The Spurs' substitutes were not weak, but without Ginobili today, it was different.
George Hill is indeed good, but compared with Livingston, he doesn't have much advantage.
Roger Mason's three-pointer is very accurate, but it's even worse than Belinelli and Anthony Morrow.
Even Bonner's three-point shooting and mobility are not much better than Radmanovic's.
The only advantage the Spurs have is their defense.
Popovich runs the team rigorously, and the defense of the substitutes is not much worse than that of the starters.
However, the Warriors' lineup advantage can fully make up for this.
Every matchup has advantages, and the Warriors' personnel are still much younger, so there's nothing to play with.
The score continues to expand.
Soon, at halftime, the score became 65:43!
The Warriors lead by 22 points.
Fighting again in a different place, the Warriors' offense is still sharp and the Spurs are still unstoppable.
Especially Curry, for some reason, he goes crazy as soon as the third quarter comes.
He moves coquettishly without the ball, and shoots when there is a gap in the pick-and-roll with the ball!
There is no way, this is confidence!
If there is only one person in the world who is confident in his shooting, then that person must be Curry!
As long as he adapts to the opponent's defense, Curry can perform to his fullest.
Popovich tried many methods, but none of them worked.
No one can stop Curry when he's in great shape!
The Warriors also began to use double attacks more often, forcing the Spurs to make mistakes and counterattack.
The three-pointer in the counterattack is the most difficult to defend!
For a time, the warriors attacked like a wave.
Yong Sanfeng arrives again.
The game was shattered instantly.
At the end of the third quarter, the score became 97:68!
The Warriors lead by 29 points.
The game completely lost its suspense.
Curry scored 18 points in a single quarter!
The Spurs resisted for two minutes in the fourth quarter, but the point difference widened by two points.
Popovich waved his flag and put on a full bench lineup, admitting defeat.
In the end, the score between the two teams was fixed at 124:93!
The Warriors won by 31 points.
Curry scored 33 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds.
…
At the post-match press conference, as soon as Deng Fang sat down in front of the microphone, reporters began to ask questions impatiently:
"Where do you win this game?"
"We have Curry."
"You mean Parker is not as good as Curry?"
"Parker is very good, but he's not as good as Curry."
"What do you think of Duncan?"
"Duncan is the number one power forward in history, there's no doubt about it, but he's a bit old and there's nothing we can do about it."
"The next game is against the Lakers. They are the defending champions and currently No. 1 in the Western Conference. Can you win?"
"Of course!" Deng Fang replied: "This is another wave of our winning streak and it cannot be interrupted!"
"Is it enough to just win? Didn't we always win by at least 30 points before?" A reporter asked with a smile.
"The Lakers are the defending champions! Besides, you have to be low-key!" Deng Fang replied calmly.
What?
What do you call low-key?
Do you have a misunderstanding about the word low-key?
"The Lakers have Kobe!" a reporter asked.
"We have Curry." Deng Fang replied calmly.
"How are you going to guard Kobe?"
"Normal defense."
"Kobe is hard to guard by himself. He can easily score 50 points!"
"Curry can do it too! And he's better than Kobe."
"Kobe was the MVP the year before last!"
"Curry is this year's MVP!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course!" Deng Fang replied: "Curry is not only this year's MVP, but also next year's and the year after that's MVP!"
"Three consecutive MVPs? Is it possible?" The reporter asked: "In history, only Russell, Chamberlain and Bird have achieved three consecutive MVPs!"
"As long as I'm here and the NBA is still here, then Curry will be the MVP for three consecutive years!" Deng Fang replied: "Listen clearly, it's at least three consecutive years!"
