The Warriors' lineup on the field is very defensive, but it still has weaknesses.
This weakness is Jordan.
It's a good choice for Jordan to stay inside, but it won't work if he comes out to guard the outside.
After all, the height and weight are there!
At this time, Deng Fang misses the future Draymond Green very much!
If Green is on the court, this lineup will be perfect!
If the defense is also switched, Green will not have any problems.
But there was nothing Deng Fang could do. There were just these people, and that was all.
The Cavaliers missed the shot, but the Warriors' offense showed little improvement.
Curry rested off the court, and the Warriors could only rely on Livingston's mid-range shot and Jordan's free throws to score.
Fortunately, Livingston's mid-range shot is still reliable, and Jordan's free throws are also good.
The Warriors can also score.
However, compared with the Cavaliers' three-point offensive, the Warriors' scoring efficiency is still much lower.
Soon, after the first quarter, the score became 45:25, and the point difference reached 20 points!
This is extremely rare for warriors.
Barkley in the commentary box sighed: "What a rare sight! The Warriors are so far behind!"
"Yes, Deng Fang was severely slapped in the face now!" Reggie Miller also said: "Deng Fang also said that he wanted to win by a big score. I see what else he can do!"
"If James takes the shot, it will be difficult to defend!" Barkley said: "Deng Fang can't think of many solutions."
"I think the only way is to rely on Curry!" Reggie Miller said: "The Cavaliers' James has opened up. If the Warriors want to come back, they can only rely on Curry's performance."
"But why do I think Curry can't do it?" Barkley replied: "In the finals, it is always difficult for a thin defender. I am not optimistic about Curry's performance."
…
The two commentators were not optimistic about the Warriors, and the fans at Oracle Arena were much quieter.
He was beaten so badly in just one game that no one could lift their spirits.
Although the situation was not good, Deng Fang was not in a hurry.
Everyone has a good hand, but there is a possibility of falling behind as long as it is a game.
How can anyone keep beating their opponents?
It's impossible to always be ahead!
At this time, you need to be patient and fight your opponents!
Use up until your opponent's touch disappears, use up until your own touch comes back!
The first thing to win is paper, and the last thing to win is money!
Soon, the second quarter of the game began.
The Cavaliers replaced Delonte West, Jamario Moon, Big Z and Varejao.
James remains on the court.
James can play more than 40 minutes in each game, but Jamison and Mo can't.
Even a young Anthony Parker couldn't do it.
This shows that James' physical fitness is indeed extraordinary.
Resistant to exercise, good in physical fitness, not prone to injury!
The Warriors have also changed people.
Curry returned to the game, bringing Belinelli, Anthony Morrow, Radmanovic and Lopez to play.
This is a pure offensive lineup!
One star radiates everywhere, or one day radiates everywhere!
There is Ku Ritian in the middle and four shooters outside!
After resting for more than half a quarter, Curry is very energetic.
The outside shooters have also changed.
If Azubuike can't make a shot, then make a substitution!
It’s impossible not to make all the shots, right?
The Cavaliers are playing twin towers, and their defense on the outside is not a small problem.
That's why Deng Fang brought up this five-shooter lineup.
Of course Mike Brown knew this, but he couldn't help it.
As I said before, the Cavaliers' configuration is top-heavy and very deformed.
There are five people at the center position: O'Neal, Big Z, JJ Hickson, Varejao, and Jamison!
Only Jamison can shoot three-pointers here.
However, Jamison's defense was not very good and he had physical problems, so he couldn't play much time.
The only three players the Cavaliers can use on the back line are Mohamed Mohamed, Delonte West, and Anthony Parker.
Gibson had been abandoned in the previous two series. It was only because of the shortage of manpower against the Warriors that Mike Brown had to use Gibson.
The Cavaliers only have James on the front line.
Jamario Moon is just a make-up.
Mohamed, Gibson, Jamison and Anthony Parker need to rest. O'Neal has been abandoned. Who else can be used?
The only way to go is to go to the Twin Towers!
Even Jamario Moon played, which shows that the Cavaliers are short of personnel.
It's not that there's no one, it's that there aren't many that can be used.
Seeing this Warriors lineup, Mike Brown's heart sank.
Not good!
The Warriors are going to attack hard.
I had been wrestling with the Cavaliers for most of the quarter, but now I suddenly don’t care about defense, I just want to attack!
This kind of rhythm is difficult to adapt to.
The Cavaliers are playing twin towers, so of course the Warriors have to play off-ball tactics.
Curry and Belinelli kept moving through the crowd, and Lopez and others kept covering them.
The Cavaliers' defense became tough again.
It is impossible to put the inside line, and the Twin Towers move very slowly, so the only opportunity is for Curry and Belinelli to shoot.
Fortunately, Curry still had no touch and failed to make two shots.
Only Belinelli made two three-pointers in three minutes.
The Warriors didn't score many points, and it became difficult for the Cavaliers to score.
The Twin Towers are very crowded on the inside, and it is difficult for James to break into the penalty area.
The three-pointers of Jamario Moon and Delonte West are not very reliable, and the Warriors' attention is all on James.
Although the Warriors' lineup is not very defensive, the Cavaliers don't put much defensive pressure.
After all, it's no problem for three people to defend one person.
It also became difficult for the Cavaliers to score.
Although Curry didn't feel good, he was not discouraged.
If you get a chance, vote!
I'm the best!
We are the boss when it comes to three-pointers!
By running without the ball, Curry made three more three-pointers.
Still no one got in!
The point difference is still more than 20 points, no change.
Oracle Arena seemed unusually quiet.
Everyone is waiting!
Waiting for Curry’s touch to arrive!
Wait until Curry makes his first three-pointer!
The pace of the game is very fast, and the iron is either playing here or there.
Occasionally, if one comes in here, one will be returned immediately.
The Warriors feel bad, but the Cavaliers' lineup is too weak.
The point difference remained unchanged, and Mike Brown gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
You see, Curry is not a god either!
Even if you give him a chance, he can't make a shot!
It seems that I worried too much before.
Since there is nothing wrong with the Twin Towers, let’s continue using it!
Mike Brown was not in a hurry, and Deng Fang also seemed very calm.
There is no doubt about Curry's ability.
Others don’t know it, but Deng Fang has witnessed it.
All you have to do now is create shooting opportunities for Curry and wait!
Wait for Curry to find his touch again!
As long as Curry shoots, all the trouble will disappear!
Of course, Curry doesn't just shoot three-pointers. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will rush to the basket.
Draw a foul and go to the free throw line to find touch through free throws. Curry still knows this.
Although the referee never likes to see Curry and will not call the foul whether or not it is called, but if it is a clear foul and a foul action that everyone can see, the referee will still call it.
No matter what, you have to think about your own job...
