Under Laga Bell's defense, Melo Anthony became upset after a while.
There was no way, as soon as he got the ball, the Warriors flanked him, and Laga Bell kept harassing him when he moved without the ball.
If it were Kobe Bryant, he would probably fight to the death with Laga Bell.
But Anthony doesn't, he's just a little unhappy.
Why bother?
Just play a ball!
No grudges in the distant future and no grudges in the near future!
Lagabel, are you sick?
Anthony kept shaking his head.
It may be fine if others are unhappy, but it will be troublesome if Anthony is unhappy.
Because he is a very emotional person and doesn't want to play when he's unhappy!
Give me the ball, I want to go home!
Anthony was originally unwilling to work on the defensive end, and he has become accustomed to focusing on the offensive end.
If the attack goes smoothly and the mood is up, I might be able to defend two more seriously!
So happy!
But now that he is unhappy, he is even less willing to work hard on the defensive end!
The offensive end has nothing to do with me, but the defensive end still requires me to hunker down and do my best?
Sorry, can't do it!
In fact, Anthony didn't play too badly.
The Warriors' double attack forced Anthony to make two turnovers, but he also sent out two assists!
But he was still unhappy.
What are you doing?
How can there be such a pincer attack!
Do you want anyone left alive?
Lagabel is even more hateful. I don’t even want the ball anymore, so you’re still following me and messing around. What do you want to do?
Although the Nuggets scored a lot of points, he was not the one who scored!
After playing for several minutes, I didn’t even practice shooting once!
accurate!
What will happen if you are unhappy?
I won’t play with you anymore!
After Anthony made two mistakes and was counterattacked by the Warriors, he did not retreat. Instead, he frowned and watched unhappily.
This is troublesome!
The Nuggets' two inside defenders are generally defensive and move slowly. If Anthony slacks off again, the Nuggets' defense will immediately become a sieve!
There are five people playing on the field. If three of them don't work hard to defend, the other two can't defend even if they risk their lives!
In the first quarter, the Warriors scored more than ten points just by taking advantage of the Nuggets' mistakes to counterattack!
In addition to being unable to defend against counterattacks, the Nuggets are also full of loopholes in positional warfare.
Not to mention anything else, Curry's off-ball movement alone allowed the Warriors to score a lot of points.
There is no way, the Nuggets' three frontcourt players are not very focused on defense, and no one is willing to switch to defend beyond the three-point line.
Curry is a backcourt player, it has nothing to do with me!
I'm an inside player!
If it were another player, the Nuggets might be able to get through with such a tight defense. After all, Billups and Afflalo's pursuit quality is quite high.
But when they encounter Curry, they will be in big trouble if they continue to defend like this!
Using a screen to move without the ball is a physically demanding task, and it also requires a very high level of a person's golf IQ.
Curry's off-ball movement is a masterclass!
In addition, Curry's shooting speed is also very fast.
He only needs an open opportunity in less than 0.3 seconds!
Billups has rich experience and is very good at defense, but he is old after all and his speed is a bit slow. He is always a little slower when going around the screen.
Although Afflalo is young, he is not much better.
Curry continuously moved without the ball and shot several three-pointers!
Although his touch was not good at the beginning, there are many opportunities if he can't stand it!
After two or three attempts, Curry found his touch.
Curry who finds his touch is almost invincible!
After making three consecutive three-pointers, the Nuggets began to take Curry seriously.
Relatively speaking, the tactics of moving without the ball are still more restrictive.
After all, preventing off-ball movement only requires players to pay attention and communicate more with each other.
This is why few teams can win games with just one or two shooters.
After the Nuggets gradually became familiar with Curry's movements, they responded more to each other and assisted in defense, and Curry had fewer opportunities to move without the ball.
But Curry is more than just a shooter!
He doesn't just move without the ball!
When Curry and Lopez started a pick-and-roll, the Nuggets discovered that this was an unsolvable problem!
If you block and then shoot, what should you do?
Switch defense?
Neither of the Nuggets' two inside players can keep up with the speed. Once the defense switches, Curry will either shoot directly or attack the basket. No matter which one he chooses, it will be very easy.
Pincer attack?
Curry passed the ball directly to the open Lopez!
Lopez is also very annoying, a big man who doesn't stay in the paint and always goes outside the three-point line to shoot three-pointers!
Nei Nei gritted his teeth angrily: You have the guts to come in!
See if I don’t kill you!
Isn’t it embarrassing for a big center to go out and shoot three-pointers?!
Fire you as a center forward!
Although Lopez's three-pointer was the worst among the Warriors' starters, it was still over 30%.
At least he's still taller than Anthony.
The most important thing is that as long as the ball reaches him, he is open!
It's useless even if Billups and Afflalo occasionally come over to help defend.
Both of them are too short and cannot interfere with Lopez's shooting.
Lopez's touch was quite good today, and he scored one goal after another!
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors scored 38 points, and Lopez scored 15 points alone!
Curry also scored 14 points.
Of course, the Nuggets' offense was also good. Due to the Warriors' double attack, Billups and Afflalo got a lot of open shots. The two scored a total of 18 points.
Kenyon Martin and Nene also scored some points in the paint.
For Nene, Deng Fang asked Lopez to defend alone. Anyway, Lopez did not suffer much physically.
However, Nene is still experienced and scored 8 points with hard free throws.
As for Kenyon Martin, Deng Fang's strategy was to let him vote.
Prince was two meters away from him, so Martin could throw whatever he wanted.
However, as long as Martin gets the ball inside, the Warriors will double attack.
Your passing is not very good anyway!
Martin felt pretty good, scoring 4 points on throws and 1 point on free throws.
Little Melon didn't score a single point.
The Nuggets scored a total of 31 points in a single quarter.
It stands to reason that this score is pretty good.
But the Warriors score higher, which is a problem.
In the final analysis, Anthony is still restricted, and the Warriors have more fast breaks than the Nuggets.
In the second quarter, the two teams mainly fought on the bench.
The Nuggets' bench strength is not weak either. The main scorers are Jr. Smith and Ty Lawson.
Their backup center is Birdman Anderson.
Jr. Smith is a twitchy player and his three-pointers are very accurate.
Ty Lawson is extremely fast, has strong breakthrough ability and average shooting.
Deng Fang played Azubuike early in the first quarter, and specifically used him to guard Jr. Smith in the second quarter.
It's easy for others to say, but jr Smith can't surrender.
This kind of person is unreasonable once the feeling comes.
Against Ty Lawson, Deng Fang asked Livingston to constantly single out in the low post.
Just bully you for being short and having poor defense!
The Warriors' bench has average athleticism, but still has plenty of offensive firepower.
Radmanovic, Anthony Morrow and Belinelli are all very good pitchers.
DeAndre Jordan also has a physical advantage over Birdman Anderson in the paint.
The Warriors still had the upper hand in the substitute competition.
Deng Fang made frequent substitutions. He came on the bench at the end of the first quarter, and even Turiaf and Tolliver came on for a few minutes in the second quarter.
When fighting on a plateau, physical strength is an issue, so all personnel must fight.
