Billups can also play pick-and-roll and is quite powerful.
But when he and Nene were in a pick-and-roll, Lagabel always went around from behind Nene.
You want to pull up and shoot a three-pointer?
casual!
Want to break through?
no way!
Want to pass the ball to Nene?
Impossible!
Lopez didn't come out at all, just waiting near the free throw line!
Of course, Billups can also choose to play a pick-and-roll two steps inside the three-point line.
However, this is very inefficient.
One is because the distance is awkward.
If Billups plays a pick-and-roll between the free throw line and the top three-point line, Lagabell will still go around Nene.
At this time, Billups can choose to take a mid-range shot.
However, a mid-range shot from this distance is two points longer.
That is the least cost-effective way to score.
The mid-range shooting percentage at this position is not much higher than the three-pointer, but the points scored are one-third less!
Even if Lopez's three-point shooting percentage is 30%, he can score 99 points in 100 shots.
But if you shoot in two steps inside the three-point line and the shooting rate is 40%, you can only score 80 points in 100 shots!
You know, Lopez's three-point shooting percentage is the lowest among the Warriors!
Since Curry entered the NBA, his three-point shooting percentage has never been lower than 40%!
The entire NBA's long two-point shooting rate can reach 35%, which is considered high!
So, it doesn't matter if Billups hits one or two long two-pointers.
Because you can’t kill anyone like that!
In addition to the awkward distance, another problem is that because the pick-and-roll position is further inside, it is easier for the opponent to help defend.
When it comes to pick-and-rolls near the three-point line at the top of the arc, it is difficult for the opponent to help defend, since they are far away.
If you really want to come here to help with the defense, someone will definitely be missed outside!
Especially the Warriors' formation that lines up outside the three-point line.
But if you want to pick and roll near the free throw line, your opponent is not far away from you!
Anyone who takes a step inside will make you nervous.
And as long as you hesitate, you won't be decisive in handling the ball, and your shooting percentage will become lower.
Especially when facing a fast-moving team like the Warriors.
The Warriors' special skill on the defensive end is to flank and help defend!
You were far away from me and I still wanted to come over to attack you. Now that you are so close, why don’t I attack you?
Anyway, I have teammates behind me to fill in.
Therefore, the Nuggets' pick-and-roll can't kill anyone.
Billups is the only one in the Nuggets' starting lineup who can play pick-and-roll.
In singles, each matchup is very defensive and cannot kill the opponent. If the pick-and-roll efficiency is low and the opponent cannot be killed, then there will be trouble!
Although the Nuggets can also score, they are nothing compared to the Warriors' tidal scoring offensive!
In fact, the Nuggets are taking a gamble by doing this.
Although the starter in the first half had poor defense, he still made the Warriors uncomfortable on the offensive end and could pose a certain threat to the Warriors.
The inside combination of Nene, Martin and Anthony is too lethal, and the Warriors can only attack from a flank.
And as long as the flanking attack fails and there is no counterattack, the warriors can only grind down their position.
Positional warfare is more about blocking, hand-to-hand combat, and wrestling.
After fighting like this for a long time, the side with the taller body and weight advantage will definitely have the advantage.
And as long as they run, a lineup like the Warriors can take advantage of their speed.
Therefore, if the Warriors use one senior and four juniors to fight against the opponent's tall lineup, they can be able to take the lead in the short term, but over time their physical strength will not be able to keep up.
If your physical strength cannot keep up with the flanking attack, the effect will be much worse.
Especially in the plateau of Denver.
If George Karl persists and continues to fight with the same lineup as in the first half, maybe the score can be recovered.
Of course, the premise is to appease Little Melon's emotions.
But George Karl couldn't hold it back.
He is afraid!
He has changed his formation!
This is troublesome.
What a head coach fears most is indecision and change.
Led by Curry, the Warriors' offense is like a tide, three-pointers are like arrows, and fast breaks are like a tide!
Yong Sanfeng reappears!
Although this is not the Oracle Arena, the audience at the Pepsi Center Arena also began to applaud the Warriors' pleasing offense!
Everyone likes beautiful things, and everyone likes to see gorgeous playing styles!
If you want to see strong men fighting, please go out and turn left to buy tickets at the boxing gym.
Isn’t he cool with emergency three-pointers?
Isn’t it nice to see a super long three-pointer three steps away from the three-point line?
Isn't it cool to hit a layup after the defender is knocked out of the air?
Don’t you feel good about three-pointers on a fast break?
The elementary school student's push is not good... are you laughing!
As the Warriors scored one goal after another, a large number of voices cheering for the Warriors began to appear in the Pepsi Center Arena!
"go warriors!"
"go warriors!"
…
This is the home court of the Nuggets!
Switching sides in battle?
Defect online!
The constant cheers made the Nuggets players even more discouraged.
Especially Little Melon, his face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't even want to move.
Curry dribbled in front of him, but Anthony didn't even raise his hand. He watched Curry lay up and score two points!
The army was defeated like a mountain!
The score difference quickly reached 30 points!
George Karl called two timeouts in a row to no avail.
Soon, the third quarter ended and the score became 115:82!
The Warriors lead by 33 points!
The game completely lost its suspense.
Both teams came on the bench in the fourth quarter.
However, Deng Fang did not want to let go. Before the substitute players came on the field, he still told him: "Fight to the death!"
For most players, the coach’s words are the truth!
Even if it is not the truth, it must be heard as the truth!
Especially the substitute players.
Your playing time is all determined by the coach.
And playing time means data, and data means money!
To put it more exaggeratedly, the head coach is the father and mother of food and clothing, the God of Wealth!
Especially when meeting a coach like Deng Fang!
Therefore, after hearing Deng Fang's instructions, the Warriors' substitutes seemed to have taken medicine. They all worked hard and competed for the lead.
Under the influence of Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets originally played listlessly in the starting lineup. Seeing the state of the Warriors, the Nuggets' bench players became even less energetic.
Brother, why bother?
Just playing ball!
Are you afraid of getting hurt when you fight like this?
Are you sure you will still be on this team tomorrow?
No, brother, why are you still working so hard?
Okay, you're welcome!
How about we stop playing with you...
The Nuggets' bench has already lost interest in playing, but the Warriors' bench is still full of interest.
A massacre appeared in front of everyone!
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the game, the score was fixed at 151:99!
The Warriors beat the Nuggets with 52 points!
This also set a scoring record for the Warriors this season.
Curry scored 38 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds.
In the third quarter, the play was exciting, and the elementary school student even dunked a basket!
Although it is much less entertaining than the dunks of those violent macho men, Curry's dunks are even more exciting!
Few times!
It’s a rare sight!
A primary school student dunks in an NBA arena filled with giants. It’s exciting to think about that scene!
