Throughout the first half, Curry took 5 three-pointers and hit 4 of them!
They are all open shots, even if the hit rate is not high!
In addition, Curry singled out Boozer and scored 6 points.
With Curry's fiery touch, Boozer wouldn't dare let Curry shoot a three-pointer!
It makes sense that he couldn't catch up without the ball. Curry hit a three-pointer in a single, but Mr. Sloan still didn't eat him!
Lopez, on the other hand, had to eat and drink. He scored 17 points in the paint, sent out 4 assists, and caused Boozer to commit 2 fouls.
The Warriors' first and second leaders performed very well, and the Jazz suffered losses both inside and outside.
Fortunately, the Jazz's offensive performance was passable, especially in terms of drawing fouls. Taking advantage of their physical advantages, Millsap and Deron made a total of 11 free throws!
Although Laga Bell is guarding Deron, the Jazz also have a lot of off-ball screens. Once Laga Bell is blocked, Curry or Belinelli will have to switch defenses.
Facing Curry and Belinelli, Deron's physical advantage was very obvious.
Fortunately, Deng Fang did a good job in protecting Curry, and Curry only committed two fouls at the end of the half.
The Jazz are still very good at drawing fouls. If the Warriors didn't do a good job of double-attack defense, Curry and Belinelli would probably be in foul trouble.
The half-time break is over and the second half continues.
In the third quarter, the Jazz played a weird lineup. Deron, C.J. Miles, and Matthews remained unchanged, and the other two were replaced by Korver and Millsap!
This is a very small lineup.
The biggest advantage of this lineup is its strong outside shooting ability and flexible movement.
Of course, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the inside line is not tall enough.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, with Curry and Belinelli still in the lineup.
Belinelli's independent offensive ability is not as good as Azubuike's, but his shooting is more reliable. It is more suitable to put him in the starting lineup against the Jazz.
As long as the Jazz dare to go to the Twin Towers, Curry and Belinelli's off-ball tactics will make the Jazz pay the price.
Mr. Sloan is still very good. After half-time testing, the Jazz quickly made changes.
Give up the Twin Towers after playing for a season, not even Boozer!
Aren’t you warriors fast?
I'm faster than you!
Aren’t you a brave warrior?
My lineup is equally accurate!
Except for Millsap's three-pointer, which is not as good as Lopez's, the others are not worse than the Warriors.
When it comes to open three-pointers and off-ball movement, even Curry wouldn't dare to say he is better than Korver!
After half the game, Mr. Sloan saw that defense could not stop the Warriors.
In this case, it’s better to fight against the warriors!
Of course, attacking doesn't mean you don't have to defend.
Millsap's defense is much better than Boozer's, especially against smaller lineups.
Comparing the lineups of the two teams, the Jazz's back line defense is better, and the Warriors have a greater advantage in the frontcourt.
Facing the Jazz's lineup, Curry and Belinelli's off-ball power will not be able to be used.
As long as Curry and Curry are running without the ball, the Jazz can switch defenses indefinitely!
Even if Millsap is switched in front of Curry, he can still defend himself.
In terms of pure speed, the Jazz lineup is faster than the Warriors!
The Jazz wanted to play fast and shoot hard with the Warriors, but the Warriors didn't want to do that.
I have the advantage of being on the inside, so why should I run with you?
Do you want to switch defenses indefinitely? Then I will play inside!
The most feared thing about unlimited defense changes is the inside singles.
As long as the Warriors attack, the ball will be handed over to Lopez in the low post.
It's easy for Lopez to chisel Millsap!
Lopez is 2.13 meters tall, weighs 125 kilograms, and is only 21 years old.
Millsap is 2.03 meters tall, weighs 112 kilograms, and is 25 years old.
Regardless of height or weight, Millsap is much worse than Lopez!
In addition, Lopez is not a reckless guy like Howard who only knows how to dunk the ball. Thanks to his excellent touch, Lopez's inside singles skills are very good.
There are few post players in the entire league who have better low-post singles skills than Lopez.
With hard work, it is okay to defend the ordinary fourth position Millsap, but it is too difficult to defend Lopez.
The Warriors' pre-game arrangements were very good, and they calculated that the Jazz would use this lineup!
You only have a few people available, how can you change it?
If Twin Towers doesn't work, this is the only lineup.
The Warriors are very targeted, that is, playing inside.
In three minutes, Lopez beat Millsap five times in a row in the low post!
Scored three times and fouled Millsap once!
There was another pass to Belinelli who was open, but he just didn't make a move.
The Jazz are in pain, double team or not?
If you don't flank Millsap, he will be beaten to death by Lopez!
If you attack from a double flank, the Warriors' group of outside shooters will open up!
Even if Lopez plays alone in the interior, the Warriors are constantly covering and running from the outside.
As soon as there is an open space, Lopez's ball will be passed immediately.
Ten centimeters taller than Millsap, coupled with his wingspan advantage, Lopez, who occupies a high point, can pass the ball to any point on the court.
This is the benefit of back hitting!
When playing from behind, your eyes are looking outward, and you can observe the movement of your teammates and the opponent's flanking attack at any time.
But Boozer and Millsap are not good in singles. They attack facing the frame. In addition to shooting, they also break through. It is difficult to see the situation of their teammates behind them.
Unless they have the speed and dribbling of a guard.
And that is impossible!
Two minutes passed, and Lopez then hit Millsap four times in the low post.
He scored two goals, gave out an assist, and also caused a foul on Millsap.
This efficiency is amazing!
Fortunately, the Jazz's offense played very well and the point difference did not widen much.
This lineup of the Jazz is still very difficult to defend.
Deron and Millsap play pick-and-roll. Deron is very comprehensive and can shoot suddenly, while Millsap has a mid-range shot and can break into the paint to score, and his ability to cause damage is not weak.
No matter which one I let go, I would be annoyed.
As for flanking, there is no such thing.
Miles, Matthews and Korver's three-point shooting is not worse than the Warriors' perimeter shooting!
Deng Fang's choice was to let Millsap shoot.
Just like dealing with Boozer, on the offensive end, let Lopez play Boozer alone, and on the defensive end, let you shoot!
You will be consumed on both offense and defense, it depends on how long you can fight!
No matter who you are, your shooting will become worse after your physical strength decreases!
I bet you can’t make the shot!
When Deron and Millsap were on a pick-and-roll, Lopez blocked it and then returned.
Laga Bell chased Deron closely and refused to give Deron a chance to shoot.
As for Millsap, if you want to invest, you can vote for him, but if you want to break out, there is no way!
The third quarter lasted for more than 6 minutes, and the score between the two teams became 89:73!
After only playing half of the third quarter, the Jazz scored 73 points, which is already a very good score.
But the Warriors score more!
Warriors with firepower on the offensive end have nothing to fear!
Although the point difference has not widened much, Millsap has already committed 4 fouls.
