Since the Jazz were trailing by a huge margin in every game and there was no hope of a comeback, the Jazz's starting lineup kept changing, and it became smaller and smaller.
Upper Oku and Boozer Towers?
No, Curry and Belinelli are going to shoot the sky!
Then go small and get Boozer and Millsap?
Still not working, the space on the offensive end is small, and the double attack on the defensive end is slow!
Then get smaller again, mini five little ones appear!
The smaller you are, the faster you are and the more accurate your three-pointers will be.
But correspondingly, the inside blocking ability and single defense ability have become weaker.
There are gains and there are losses.
There is a high probability that the Jazz will change their starting lineup, but which one Deng Fang will switch to is hard to guess.
Therefore, the Warriors' starting lineup has not changed, and they are still the five most commonly used players.
It can be attacked or defended, and staying the same to cope with all changes is the best choice.
There is no need to give orders. When the Warriors players see the Jazz's starting lineup, they know how to play.
The same goes for the game.
Although Millsap is not tall enough, he is very hardworking.
Especially at the beginning of the game, Millsap has enough physical strength and can still defend Lopez twice.
At least he won't let Lopez get the ball and push it to the basket for a dunk.
Once Lopez turned his back and dribbled in, the Jazz decisively attacked from a double flank.
As long as Lopez passes the ball, he must rely on tacit understanding and speed to defend.
There is really no other way, so let the Warriors shoot.
Anyway, our three-point score is not worse than yours!
This is our home court, everyone should run!
See who can't run first!
Lopez's passing is still good, and the Warriors players also have a tacit understanding, but the Jazz's defense is really fast.
Three consecutive shots were interfered by the Jazz.
Only Curry's shot went in, the other two didn't.
The Jazz's offense focuses on the pick-and-roll of Deron and Millsap.
Millsap can shoot, break through, and has a strong ability to cause damage.
Not to mention Deron, whether it is shooting, breakthrough or assist ability, he is very good.
The Warriors' defensive strategy is the same as before, still letting Millsap shoot and locking down outside three-pointers and Deron.
After Deron and Millsap set a pick-and-roll, Laga Bell squeezed through the screener and chased Deron, denying him a chance to shoot.
Lopez huddled behind, preventing Millsap from breaking in.
Prince followed Matthews closely, Azubuike followed Myers, and Curry pursued Korver.
No matter which position, the Warriors have an advantage.
Millsap's shooting is still good, especially in the opening game, he is well prepared and has a good shooting percentage.
Two minutes into the game, the Jazz still led by 3 points.
However, the Warriors soon stopped letting Lopez play alone in the paint, and Cullo started playing pick-and-roll again.
It is still very tiring for Lopez to play singles alone, and the Jazz are well prepared, so Lopez's singles effect is not good.
How easy it is to catch the ball in the open position after the pick-and-roll!
Why does it have to be an open ball?
Because the Jazz will definitely double-team Curry!
In the first two games, Curry scored 45 points in one game and 51 points in the other. He also sent out nearly 10 assists in each game, almost beating the Jazz by himself!
The most important thing is that once Curry performs well, the Warriors team will be in good shape.
As long as Curry makes two or three unreasonable three-pointers, the Warriors will go crazy!
Once the Warriors enter a crazy state, they will be unplayable.
Therefore, Curry must be restricted when playing against the Warriors!
You can lose the ball, but Curry can't let it go!
Before playing against the Warriors, many teams did not take the Warriors and Curry seriously.
Teams who have played it all understand this truth.
The same goes for Jazz.
As expected, Curry and Lopez set a pick-and-roll, and the Jazz began to flank Curry.
Millsap and Deron blocked Curry's breakthrough route while not giving him any space to shoot.
What this does is amplify Lopez's shot.
Many teams have already done this in the regular season.
We accept being thrown to death by Lopez, but not being thrown to death by Curry!
Another reason why the Jazz did this was to restrict Curry and make him anxious.
As a star, no matter who you are, you will care about your own data.
How can there be a team leader who doesn’t score!
If Curry is restricted like this, as long as he gets impatient, it will be easy to say.
After all, Curry is a rookie, so it's hard not to be anxious.
The Jazz were right to think so, but it's a pity that they met Curry.
The most admirable thing about Curry is that he never competes or grabs!
Take the lead when there are difficulties, no matter who the opponent is, never be afraid.
But he takes data and honors very lightly and does not compete for them.
As long as it's beneficial to the team, Curry never complains.
In this game, the Jazz and Warriors had the same defensive strategy, which was to lock down their stars and give the big men a chance to shoot.
The Jazz think so, but Lopez will not play according to their wishes!
You want me to shoot a three-pointer?
I prefer to go to the basket!
You both went to Pukuli, I can go wherever I want!
Jazz coming to help defend?
Do you think Matthews can guard me or Myers is enough?
As for Korver, forget it, letting the weakest defensive player on the field guard Lopez is a complete joke!
The pick-and-roll between Deron and Millsap occurred near the free throw line, and there was not much room for the two to operate.
The most important thing is that Deron did not make a three-pointer with a sudden stop, and the mid-range shot with a sudden stop was not very reliable.
In this way, the Warriors dare to use pursuit defense to limit Deron.
And Curry has an emergency three-pointer, so the Jazz must flank Curry.
This will increase Lopez's range of movement.
The result of the pick-and-roll between Deron and Millsap was Millsap's mid-range shot.
The result of the pick-and-roll between Curry and Lopez was that Lopez went to the basket and dunked!
If Lopez is still playing singles inside, the Jazz won't be afraid.
After all, the Jazz have been doing a lot of research and training in the past two days, and they have done a good job of assisting in defense.
But it's difficult to defend Lopez when he moves and plays.
Unless Curry is not flanked!
But Curry can only be restricted by flanking, so he has no choice.
For a center that moves inside after a pick-and-roll, the best way is to delay the move and then have a big man come over and change positions to defend.
The Jazz also wanted to prevent Lopez from moving inside, but because the lineup they used was too small, they couldn't stop Lopez at all.
After receiving the pass from Curry, Lopez took a square step and went directly to the basket for a dunk.
Although Lopez's speed is not fast, he can't beat the openness of the penalty area!
Everyone on the Jazz team was defending outside the three-point line, and there was no one inside.
Matthews, who came to help defend, stretched out his hand, but finally took it back.
Forget it, I can't help it, the height difference is too big, why bother giving someone two plus one!
The second time Lopez received Curry's pass near the free throw line, this time Myers got there early.
However, Miles is not as strong as Matthews. He stood motionless on the edge of the three-second zone and could only cause Lopez an offensive foul.
But Lopez was no fool, so he turned slightly and passed by Miles.
As long as it's not a head-on collision, it's not an offensive foul!
It was a side collision, even if it hit Miles, the collision was in vain!
