Since Curry's playing time is much less than Rose's, it is impossible to take advantage of the data.
So far, Rose is averaging 25 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game.
Curry averaged 23 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds per game.
There is not much difference in the data between the two.
To be honest, the main reason why Curry is not far behind Rose in terms of statistics is because the Warriors' offensive style takes advantage of him.
The head coach of the Bulls is Thibodeau, and his philosophy is defense first.
Therefore, the Bulls' pace is not fast and there are many positional battles.
Rose was able to obtain this data under such an offensive rhythm thanks to his long enough playing time and enough ball rights.
The only initiator of the Bulls' ball-handling offense is Rose, and Rose's outside shooting is average and he cannot play without the ball, so the ball is basically in his hands alone.
The Warriors' rhythm is much faster!
So far, the Bulls are averaging 98.6 points per game and allowing 91.3 points per game.
The Warriors averaged 113 points per game and conceded 101 points per game.
Just looking at the data, the two teams are completely different from each other!
Thanks to the Warriors' fast offensive and defensive rhythm, Curry was able to score 23 points in 21 minutes of playing time!
Therefore, compared to Ross, Curry's data is not superior.
In this case, if Curry wants to win the MVP, he can only rely on the team's record.
Historically, the main reason Rose was able to win the MVP this season was because the Bulls had a good record.
The historical scoring leader in the 10-11 season is Durant. He averaged 30.1 points, 2.7 assists, and 6.8 rebounds per game!
This data is much better than Rose!
In the NBA, averaging 20 points per game is a hurdle.
Players who can average 20 points per game are all smart, big or small, and they are at least the number three player in their respective teams!
Generally speaking, only the second boss can do it!
25 points is another hurdle!
Players who can average 25 points per game are basically the bosses of their respective teams and are also All-Stars!
The entire alliance generally does not exceed ten!
If the average points per game exceeds 30, then there is a high probability that it will be super!
Ordinary players, even if they are given enough shots, will never get this data!
It's possible in one or two games, but it's impossible to get this data on average over a season!
Durant's statistics are much more eye-catching than Rose's, but historically the MVP of this season was still given to Rose.
Why?
Because the Bulls have the best record in the league!
The Thunder's record is only fourth in the Western Conference!
Compare the data when the results are similar, and compare the results when the data are similar!
If one has a good record and the other has good data, then the one with the better record is more powerful!
No matter how good your data is, if the team cannot make the playoffs, then you can only be defined as a bad team brusher!
Even if you average 40 points per game, if the team ranks last, you will not get the MVP award!
Therefore, we must not lose this game against the Bulls!
The momentum behind the Bulls will be very strong. Even if they cannot catch up with the Warriors, they will still be the Warriors' biggest opponent.
In this case, the face-to-face confrontation between the two teams is particularly important!
The data of the two people are similar, and one is first in the team and the other is second. In this case, if one person defeats the other in a face-to-face confrontation, his status in the hearts of the judges will rise a lot!
Facing the menacing Warriors, the Bulls played very tenaciously.
The Bulls' starting lineup is Rose, Bogans, Luol Deng, Boozer, and Noah.
Rose controls the ball, Boozer can play in the low post, Noah is the inside gate, and Luol Deng and Bogans are 3D players.
There is an inside and an outside, both offense and defense.
This configuration is very reasonable.
But overall, the strongest thing about this lineup is defense.
Bogans is a pure 3D player with good defense. Luol Deng can play three or four, and also has a certain ability to attack with the ball. He can defend three-pointers and Noah is an inside gate.
Even Rose, with his excellent physical fitness, is also very good on the defensive end.
The only defensive weakness is Boozer.
But it's not a big deal if four people wipe one person's butt.
The Warriors replaced Laga Bell in the starting lineup and sent Curry, Azubuike, Prince, Tucker and Lopez.
Azubuike guarded Rose, Curry guarded Bogans, Prince guarded Luol Deng, Tucker guarded Boozer alone, and Lopez guarded Noah.
This is also the first time Tucker has started a game.
Although Tucker suffers from his height, he can definitely rival Boozer in terms of strength.
It would be much more difficult for Prince to stand up to Boozer.
Since Rose's three-point shooting is average, the Warriors are not afraid of Boozer's low post singles.
As long as Boozer is in the low post, Azubuike will shrink his defense and be ready to help defend at any time.
What's more, Lopez is still watching eagerly from behind!
As for Rose's breakthrough, there is still no problem with the marking of the four defensive heroes Azubuike, Prince, Tucker and Lopez.
Before the game, Deng Fang issued a death order. This game must be won, and Rose must also prevent death!
In fact, as long as Rose is guarded, most of the Bulls' offense will be paralyzed.
How to prevent Ross from dying?
One person guards, and the others help guard.
The main reason why Deng Fang dared to do this was that Boozer and Noah had no shooting range.
Boozer can only make a mid-range shot, not a three-pointer, and Noah can't even make a mid-range shot!
Another reason is that the Bulls shoot less three-pointers.
Since Bulls head coach Thibodeau's philosophy is defense first, they rarely shoot three-pointers.
Three-pointers that fail to hit the backboard tend to bounce far, and once the opponent grabs a long rebound, they will be counterattacked.
The first principle of basketball defense is not to let the opponent rush!
Due to Thibodeau's philosophy, the Bulls are very cautious in their three-point shots.
But the pitcher needs to be fed!
Although Luol Deng and Bogans are good three-pointers, they take very few shots.
Although they all shoot three-pointers, some people are inaccurate if they take too many shots.
The main reason is lack of adaptability.
Usually, he keeps passing the ball to the open position, and finally takes a three-pointer when it is in his own hands.
Now there is no need to pass the ball and there is an open space, this...
I usually only throw three or four balls in a game, but now I take four or five shots in a single quarter. This...
Luol Deng and Bogans are definitely not used to it.
As long as you are not used to the shooting rhythm, your shooting percentage will not be very good!
Deng Fang was betting that these two people were not used to it.
In short, all five members of the Warriors are staring at Rose and not giving him a chance to break through.
Azubuike took a step back, ready to stand in front of Rose at any time.
Tucker is always ready to stand in Rose's path and draw him an offensive foul.
Prince and Lopez were also watching from behind, ready to block Rose's layup at any time.
If you want to dribble outside and make a quick stop to throw a three-pointer, you can, but want to break in easily?
There are no doors!
It's either an offensive foul or I'll slap you out!
