At eight o'clock in the evening, the game between the Warriors and the Spurs started on time at the AT&T Center.
Although they were behind by a big score, the fans at AT&T Center did not give up and kept cheering for the home team.
In a last-ditch battle, the Spurs changed their lineup and Parker was put into the starting lineup.
Parker, Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson and Duncan, the Spurs' strongest five!
The Spurs' lineup is stronger offensively and slightly weaker defensively.
However, when the GDP combination is played together, it is still very powerful.
It's obvious that the Spurs are going to compete offensively with the Warriors.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, with Curry still playing five.
The Warriors have been working together as starters for a season, both offensively and defensively, and have a high degree of tacit understanding.
The game was extremely intense from the beginning, with both teams focusing most of their energy on the offensive end.
The Spurs mainly use Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll, while the Warriors use Curry and Lopez's constant pick-and-roll.
On the defensive end, the Warriors still stick to the inside and let in three-pointers from Jefferson and Parker.
The Spurs also focused on defending the penalty area and amplifying Lopez's three-pointers.
It is impossible for Curry to take action!
You can take action if you want, just grab the frontcourt board yourself!
The two teams have similar defensive methods. The final competition is the assist ability of the team's core players and the three-point shooting of the role players.
Jefferson, Parker and Lopez all had good three-pointers, and the scores of the two teams also increased alternately.
After 7 minutes, the substitute came on.
The Spurs' bench strength is much weaker than that of the Warriors, but I don't know how much chicken soup Popovich poured into them. The Spurs players played very hard, and they still had the upper hand in terms of morale.
In fact, before the game, Deng Fang repeatedly told his team members not to relax and win as much as they can!
No mercy!
But no matter how much Deng Fang emphasized, with a big lead, the players were still inevitably a little relaxed.
This is human nature and there is nothing you can do about it.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led by one point.
During the timeout, Deng Fang emphasized to the players again: Don't relax! Don't relax!
The Spurs are a powerful team with GDP, so we have to work hard!
The more desperate the team is, the more terrifying it is!
If you can win by 50 points, you can't win by 49 points!
Don't give your opponent any chance!
Deng Fang even smashed a tactical board when talking about the players' wrong moves on the field.
This is what I learned from Cole in later generations.
How to remind team members?
How to let the players know that they take this game seriously?
When you can't hit anyone, smashing a tactical board is the best option.
In the second quarter, it was still substitutes.
Obviously, Deng Fang's reminder worked.
Warriors players are more active on the defensive end.
Once everyone becomes serious, the gap in strength will be reflected.
In 5 minutes, the Warriors not only overtook the score, but also led by 8 points.
Popovich had to call a timeout.
When fighting against a cliff, the most fearful thing is falling behind.
When the timeout ended, both teams replaced their starters.
With Curry around, the Warriors' starting lineup has never slacked off.
Whether on the defensive or offensive end, Curry works hard.
Curry didn't relax at all just because he was leading by a big score.
A skinny rookie is working so hard, are his teammates embarrassed to slack off?
Of course, the Spurs also played very hard.
The GDP portfolio is not in vain!
Although he is old, his power is still there!
We have gone through so many ups and downs together, but this situation is nothing.
This is probably the last game of the season. What can you do with your energy?
Let’s fight!
The game was very fierce, you scored two points, and I made a three-pointer, without giving up.
At the end of the second quarter, at 48:40, the Warriors led by 8 points, with no change in the point difference.
It can be seen from the score that the two teams fought very hard on the defensive end.
Curry only took 5 shots during the half, made 3 of them, and scored 8 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds.
The Spurs really don't give Curry a chance to take a shot!
Fortunately, using his attractiveness, Curry sent out 8 assists and revitalized the team.
After the intermission, the second half of the game started.
The Spurs held on for three minutes, but slowly they couldn't stand it anymore.
I can't help it, I fought too hard in the first half!
What older players fear most is this kind of pace.
It’s okay to fight with high intensity, and you won’t feel anything if you keep fighting.
But when I came back after resting for ten minutes, the uncomfortable areas on my body immediately became apparent.
That's what happens when you get older.
This cannot be changed.
When people grow old, they no longer rely on their muscles and bones for energy.
In addition, the Warriors also played very fiercely, and the Spurs kept falling behind in chasing points, and their morale slowly declined.
Falling behind by a huge margin, leaning against a cliff, and hanging on by a thread, I wanted to fight my opponent, but found that my opponent was even harder than me. In this situation, not many people could maintain their strong fighting spirit.
Why bother?
You will lose sooner or later anyway, there is no point in fighting like this!
People work hard because they want to win, and if they win, they can get a big contract.
What are we working so hard for?
It’s not worth it if you get hurt!
The point difference slowly widened to 12 points.
Double digits!
Popovich called a timeout with a livid face, scolded the players and replaced him with a substitute.
He couldn't play in the starting lineup, so he had to come on the bench.
This time the Warriors did not put on a full bench lineup, but let Curry continue to play.
The other four players on the Warriors' court are Belinelli, Azubuike, Prince and Radmanovic.
Deng Fang brought out the Warriors' strongest offensive lineup again!
The third quarter of the game is Curry time!
The battle must be resolved as soon as possible!
The longer it takes, the greater the risk.
Curry and Belinelli once again played a simplified version of the splash tactic.
The two kept running around the pile, and their teammates kept covering them.
If it were the starting lineup, the Spurs could still defend against the Warriors' tactic.
After all, the personal abilities and tacit understanding of the GDP team are very good.
But it won't work as a substitute.
Personal ability is not enough and tacit understanding is even worse.
Either they lost track of Curry, or they all focused on Curry and forgot about Belinelli.
Finally, both of them took care of it and ignored the screener, allowing the Warriors to score at the basket.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Curry finally had room to shoot and made three consecutive three-pointers!
Belinelli also made 2 three-pointers.
The Warriors' 18:5 surge directly widened the point difference to 25 points!
The game completely lost its suspense.
The score difference is huge, and more importantly, the Spurs players have lost their fighting spirit.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams became 89:64!
In the fourth quarter, both teams used all their substitutes.
Finally, the referee blew the final whistle and the score was fixed at 118:85!
The Warriors defeated the Spurs 4-0 with a 33-point victory!
Curry played 32 minutes, not taking many shots, and scored 19 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds.
Another triple-double is obtained!
In a series of four games, Curry had 2 triple-doubles!
The Warriors won the first game by 29 points, the second game by 38 points, the third game by 17 points, and today they won the fourth game by 33 points!
Sweeping the Spurs 4:0, winning every game, no suspense!
