For the Warriors, dealing with Harden who has not yet evolved successfully is not a big problem.
What's more, Harden still doesn't have many helpers!
The Rockets called a timeout, and after the timeout, Asik was replaced and replaced by Patterson.
Patterson has three-pointers, but he usually plays the power forward position. The Rockets put up a smaller lineup in order to increase their offensive firepower.
You only scored 8 points in half a quarter, it’s useless no matter how good your defense is!
After replacing Patterson, the Rockets' offense was better, but the defensive end was also much worse.
The two teams started to attack.
When it comes to offense, the Warriors are not afraid of any team.
Soon, the first quarter was over and the score became 48:24!
The Warriors beat the Rockets by 24 points in a single quarter!
The Splash Brothers threw 6 three-pointers in a single quarter!
Harden remained on the court in the second quarter, fighting with several substitutes.
I have to say that in terms of endurance, both James are very powerful!
The Warriors' bench strength is much stronger than that of the Rockets, but with Harden here, the gap between the two teams is not that big.
Because there was a big problem on the defensive end, McHale adopted a gambling style of defense, sticking to the penalty area and betting that the Warriors would not make a shot.
Anyway, Brother Splash is gone. If you have the ability, surrender to me!
McHale was lucky. The Warriors' substitute didn't feel well today and made several consecutive three-pointers but failed to score.
The Rockets took the opportunity to recover some points.
At this time, the shortcomings of Lopez's absence became apparent.
If Lopez was still there, when everyone was not feeling good, they could at least give the ball to Lopez and let him play in singles in the low post.
Moreover, Lopez and Lowry also have more options after the pick-and-roll. Unlike Lopez, who can only go to the basket.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. Deng Fang also knew that Lopez was useful, but the system stipulated that he could no longer be retained.
Fortunately, the defense of the Warriors' second team was still online. Although the Rockets scored some points, it was difficult to reach a climax.
With their tenacious defense, the Warriors still kept the point difference at 15 points at the end of the second quarter.
Although the point difference became smaller, Deng Fang didn't care.
The Rockets let Harden play the entire first half of the game, which was overdrawing Harden's physical strength in advance.
Besides, there is nothing anyone can do about the feeling of the hand. If it is not available now, it may be available soon.
The second half started quickly.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, while the Rockets directly let Patterson start.
The third quarter lasted more than 5 minutes, and the Rockets relied on their fiery touch to prevent the Warriors from widening the point difference.
But the Splash Brothers suddenly found their touch and made several consecutive three-pointers to stop the Rockets.
After the timeout, the Warriors increased their intensity, taking advantage of Harden's physical inability to keep up, causing the Rockets to make several mistakes, and launched several fast break counterattacks.
The score difference quickly came to 30 points!
This is Yongsan crazy!
In order to match the intensity and keep up with the strength of the Warriors' second lineup, opponents are often forced to beat the main force hard, which will make them unable to keep up with the Warriors' intensity in the third quarter!
You are already tired, but I am well rested!
Coupled with the Splash Brothers' inexplicable outburst in the third quarter, few opponents can stop Yong San's emergence!
Even though I know the third quarter is dangerous, there is nothing I can do!
This is naked strength crushing!
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score became 109:71, with the Warriors leading by 38 points.
The game basically lost its suspense.
Both teams came off the bench in the fourth quarter, and Harden did not play again.
McHale is not stupid. There is no hope of winning this game. In this case, it is better to conserve energy and prepare for the next game.
If you are not as skilled as others, you have to admit defeat!
The Warriors only lose single-digit games in a season, so beating the Warriors is a low-probability event!
What's more, the Rockets are playing back-to-back games on the road.
No one can blame him if he loses!
Soon, the game was over, and the final score was fixed at 136:101, with the Warriors winning by 35 points!
Harden has been flanked by the Warriors. He only took 11 shots in the game, scored 15 points, and sent 10 assists, but he also made 11 turnovers!
An alternative triple-double!
There is no way, this is the price young stars must pay!
The Splash Brothers played very well on the Warriors side. Curry made 7 of 12 three-pointers, scored 33 points, 8 rebounds, 15 assists, and only made 2 turnovers.
Klay made 8 of 11 three-pointers with an astonishing shooting percentage and scored 28 points.
As long as the Splash Brothers are active, there will be no suspense in the Warriors game!
Must win!
Still a big win!
There is only one Splash Brother, so there is no problem in winning, but the winning points will not be too many, "only" twenty or so points."
If the Splash Brothers are not open, then it depends on whether anyone else will step forward.
If other people step up, there will be no suspense about winning.
Because the Warriors' defense is always online!
Clay, Kirilenko, Hayward, Ariza, Lowry, Tucker, Azubuike and other defensive heroes are not for nothing!
Even Yao Ming and Lopez Jr. defend well in the paint!
This doesn’t even count Barnes and Draymond Green!
No one can say that I always have the offensive touch, but there will be no problem on defense!
If you want the Warriors to lose, you must pray that all members of the Warriors feel cold, make inexplicable mistakes on the defensive end, and at the same time, your offense must perform exceptionally!
Only when these conditions are met can you win!
Because the warriors are so powerful!
The Warriors started with 2 consecutive wins!
Big wins every time!
Various experts who were originally not optimistic about the Warriors were slapped in the face, and betting websites quickly lowered their odds on the Warriors winning the championship.
In matters on the field, strength must speak for itself!
…
The Warriors started well and won the next few games.
Beat the Kings by 32 points, beat the Timberwolves by 55 points, beat the Eagles by 18 points, narrowly beat the 76ers by 9 points...
Soon, the Warriors won 11 consecutive victories.
It's easy to let down your guard after a long winning streak. Soon, the Warriors overturned when they faced the Spurs on the road.
The Spurs didn't make any big moves during the offseason and were very low-key, but they have an excellent head coach Popovich, the team's discipline is very good, and coupled with the stable understanding of the GDP Troika, they are a very difficult opponent.
.
The Warriors underestimated their opponent, the Spurs played well, and in the end the Warriors lost the game by 5 points.
There is nothing you can do about it. If you don't perform well, your opponent is strong and it's normal to lose if you perform well.
The regular season is an encounter, and winning or losing a game is nothing.
Deng Fang reminded the players several times before the game not to underestimate the enemy, but it was of no use.
This is the aftermath of a winning streak.
Human nature is difficult to change with just a few words.
But losing is not entirely a bad thing, at least the Warriors players' attitude towards the game is much better.
After losing to the Spurs, the Warriors immediately silenced the doubters with a big victory!
143:101, 42 points victory over the Pistons!
I'm sorry, Comrade Piston, I have to wrong you first. We don't want this either...
