The Warriors' change of formation once again made the Jazz passive.
The goal of changing the starting lineup in the last game was to catch the Jazz off guard.
The Warriors ended the first round series in four games. They spent a lot of preparation time just for this!
Deng Fang knew that after Okur was cured, the Jazz would definitely let him return to the starting lineup.
If something unexpected hadn't happened, I wouldn't have given up casually after playing as a starter for a season.
Others didn't know how Okur was recovering, but Deng Fang knew for sure.
Resurrected with full health and bouncing around, Oku will definitely challenge for a fight when he returns.
Okur performed very well in Game 6 against the Nuggets. There is no reason not to start against the Warriors!
During the few days the Warriors were preparing for the game, they did nothing but practice moving without the ball.
After the last game, it proved to be effective.
Even if the Jazz can compete with the Warriors in the first few minutes of the game, Boozer and Okur will not be able to hold on later.
Two slow-moving big men followed Curry and Belinelli. Even if they could catch up, they would be almost dead from exhaustion!
What's more, the Jazz's starting offense is not ideal.
So the Jazz will definitely not use regular starters again.
Deng Fang changed the starting lineup, but the Jazz didn't expect it.
Your starting lineup in the last game was very good, why did you change it?
The winner remains the same, don’t you know this principle?
Young people, if you don't act according to common sense, you will be punished!
Although this is the truth, looking at Azubuike replaced by the Warriors, Mr. Sloan frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
It seems that this young man Deng Fang has not been punished yet...
This is a goblin!
In a duel with a goblin, the result can be imagined.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Jazz were at a disadvantage again.
Curry and Lopez resumed the pick-and-roll.
Curry and Lopez didn't play a few pick-and-rolls in the first game, which made the Jazz almost forget about it.
Due to the lack of preparation, the Jazz's defensive strategy did not change much from that of other teams in the regular season.
Deron squeezed through after being blocked, while Millsap huddled inside and stared at Lopez, preventing Lopez from going in.
But they forgot that the Warriors were on the opposite side and Curry was holding the ball!
If it were any other point guard, he would definitely not shoot if he saw the defender squeeze past the screener and then pounce on him.
Although the defender is two steps behind, they are rushing towards this side!
People are rushing towards you so hard, how can you not be disturbed?
Can your shot be accurate if interfered with?
Besides, you are dribbling the ball!
What you want to shoot is a three-pointer!
Emergency stop three points!
If you vote under such circumstances, it is not littering!
For most defenders in the league, it's okay to think this way.
But the person opposite is Curry!
In the last game, Curry rarely played pick-and-rolls with Lopez. Most of them were off the ball or one-on-one with Boozer. The Jazz almost forgot about it.
Even if Deron works very hard to squeeze past Lopez, he will still be slow.
This is enough!
In the first three minutes, Curry took 5 three-pointers!
Here are all the shots the Warriors took.
Fortunately, Curry didn't feel very good at first, and he didn't score in the first three games.
But Curry didn't care and continued to take decisive shots, and the difficulty became increasingly higher!
That's how shooting is, the more decisive you are, the higher your hit rate will be.
What's more, Curry is already accurate!
For Curry, there is no difficulty problem. As long as he can take the shot, the difficulty is the same!
When Curry hit two difficult three-pointers in a row, the situation changed instantly.
Curry's three-pointer is a propeller and a dynamite barrel with infinite energy. As long as Curry makes an unreasonable three-pointer, he can ignite the emotions of his teammates and arouse the enthusiasm of the Oracle Arena fans.
How about scoring two in a row?
Exploded!
All the fans in the Oracle Arena cheered in unison, cheering for Curry and the Warriors.
The same goes for Warriors players.
When you see the core player on your team making such an unreasonable three-pointer, your emotions will be high and your confidence will be a hundred times higher.
Why?
Because you know this game is going to be won!
Even if the game has just started!
We are all in the same team, so we know each other best about what happens during training.
In training, Curry's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 90%, which is also higher than most players' free throw shooting percentage under normal circumstances.
Once or twice, when you see Curry being so accurate every day, you will also have confidence in him.
That’s three points!
It was all one shot, and everyone scored 3 points!
Of course, whether it can still be so accurate in official competitions depends on the feel.
Under normal circumstances, Curry's three-point shooting percentage is about 40%.
But when Curry made two difficult three-pointers in a row, his teammates knew that Curry's touch was getting hotter!
As long as Curry feels hot, he will be unstoppable!
As long as he is allowed to take action, he will definitely advance!
And it will continue to advance!
This is confidence!
When Curry finds his form, even his movement and dribbling will become coquettish and weird, making it even harder for opponents to defend.
Although Curry scored two three-pointers in a row and the morale of the Warriors was high, Mr. Sloan did not pay too much attention.
Why?
Because the Jazz are still ahead!
Two three-pointers are only 6 points!
The Jazz have scored 9 points!
Okur made a three-pointer, and Boozer made three shots and scored 6 points!
Does Curry feel good?
It's good to make 2 out of 5, so what do you call Boozer when he makes 3 out of 3?
We have a 100% hit rate!
You are just enjoying yourself!
Mr. Sloan has rich experience and is not someone who underestimates his enemies.
But after all, he is a coach who came in the 1980s and 1990s. He is older and still somewhat conservative in his thinking.
We have all fought against Jordan, and even fought the Bulls in 6 games in the finals. What does a young Curry mean?
When did you hear that three-pointers can kill people?
Can a skinny rookie lead a team to win?
It’s just a regular season team, just a regular season player!
The playoffs rely on physical combat and scoring inside!
So Mr. Sloan didn't care, even though the Oracle Arena was already boiling.
What happens next is predictable.
In just three minutes, Curry scored 5 three-pointers in a row!
All 5 shots hit!
No, counting the first two, it should be 7 in a row!
22 points!
One of them is three plus one!
In a single quarter, no, Curry made 7 three-pointers in half a quarter, scoring 22 points!
Driven by Curry, the four Azubuikes were also in high spirits and ran fast. The Warriors were airtight on the defensive end.
Attack and defense are always inseparable.
Some teams rely on defense to drive offense, and some teams rely on offense to drive defense.
When your team plays smoothly offensively, players will be more willing to invest energy on the defensive end!
Seeing the hope of winning is more effective than taking stimulants!
The Jazz scored 9 points in the first three minutes, but only scored 2 points in the next three minutes!
These two points were obtained by Deron's free throws!
The game lasted 6 minutes and the score became 22:11!
The Jazz trailed by 11 points.
Curry alone scored twice as many points as the entire Jazz team!
