Is Barnes a murderer? Can he be better than Kirilenko?
The Warriors players have no problem, and the outside world doesn't care about that.
What the media and experts hope most is for the Warriors to cause some trouble!
The Warriors are too powerful and invincible. What should I do if I want the Warriors to lose?
Start from within!
Sow discord!
Make all kinds of gossip news!
Of course, there is nothing wrong with these people’s ideas.
At this stage, Barnes is much worse than Kirilenko, and Kirilenko is more suitable for starting.
But they don't know that Kirilenko won't be able to stay with the Warriors for long, and that Barnes is the future of the Warriors' small forward position!
Experience and confidence need to be cultivated, and it takes time!
Even if you make a mistake, only after you make it will you know where you went wrong and what to do next!
Therefore, Deng Fang must promote Barnes to the starting lineup.
Of course, this comes at a cost.
After Barnes was mentioned as the starter, the Warriors lost three games in a row!
There is no other way, the opponent finally found a hole to break through!
Let Barnes shoot!
Give him a big space!
I'll bet you not to come in!
It's better to give Barnes a wide open space than to let Curry shoot against someone!
Among the five of Curry, Clay, Hayward, Barnes, and Yao Ming, only Barnes can be released, and he must be released!
Barnes was indeed a little uncomfortable and his performance was poor.
Although Deng Fang gave him dozens of games to adapt, Barnes still did not have such a strong psychological quality.
Facts have proved that psychological quality also needs to be exercised!
Even when playing for the Warriors, there is a big difference between starting and coming off the bench.
Even on the bench, Barnes is not the protagonist, opponents will not let him go, and the test for him will not be that big.
But once you get to the starting lineup, it's completely different.
Your opponent is completely short on you. If you shoot Curry, Clay will have no chance to shoot. Do you still dare to shoot?
When there is an open position, should I fake a move to attract the opponent to attack and then hit the basket to cause damage?
Get to the basket and score!
Get to the free throw line and score!
Make reasonable choices!
This has always been what the coach has told us to do and should be done. Do we still want to do it now?
Although Deng Fang repeatedly emphasized and repeatedly told Barnes to shoot when there is an opening, it still needs to be tempered through actual combat.
Is Deng Fang encouraging himself?
Was it because of his good casting before that Deng Fang thought highly of him?
If the shot fails, does it mean Deng Fang doesn't trust himself?
As a rookie and a player whose psychological quality is not that strong, these thoughts are inevitable.
It just so happens that the opponents in these three games are pretty good: Thunder, Pacers and Grizzlies.
Let's not talk about the Thunder. With Dewey and a group of powerful players, it will be very difficult to deal with.
The Pacers performed very well in the playoffs last season. This season's main lineup remains unchanged, their strength has not diminished, and they still maintain the third position in the Eastern Conference.
The Grizzlies are the same, with the Black and White Bears as the core, focusing on the inside, and playing against the trend. Once the opponent is close to a three-pointer, they will lose.
These three teams all chose to let go of Barnes and choke Curry and Klay.
If it is Kirilenko, because he has rich experience, strong psychological quality, and good ball-holding ability, there is no big problem in letting him go.
But the same can't be said for Barnes.
When he first arrived in the starting lineup, his opponents let him go so unscrupulously, which made Barnes feel guilty.
If one shot fails, the second one will feel even more guilty and the shot will not be decisive.
Even if he makes a shot, he will still hesitate: Will the opponent save it? Should he try to make a shot in?
If my performance is so poor, will the head coach lose confidence in me?
The more he hesitated, the more he failed to make a shot. The more he failed to make a shot, the more he hesitated. It was a vicious cycle, and Barnes performed very poorly.
In a duel between masters, the outcome is often just a hairline!
Although the Warriors are strong, if they perform poorly at any point, they will be exploited by their opponents and lose.
Because Barnes' three-point shooting was poor and he was very hesitant, the Warriors' starting offense was in a mess, which in turn affected the defense.
The starter actually took the lead, which was a great thing. The opponent's morale was immediately boosted, and the substitutes also fought hard.
Seeing the hope of winning, these three teams all shortened the time of substitutes.
Deng Fang didn't care whether he should play as a substitute or not. In the third quarter, he still let Barnes start.
The result was no surprise, the Warriors lost all three games.
The difference is that they lost by 19 points against the Thunder, lost by 9 points against the Pacers, and the game against the Grizzlies went to the last moment and lost by 3 points.
Even though he lost, Barnes' performance got better every game.
Although he still didn't feel good against the Grizzlies, he started to shoot more resolutely.
If you dare to let me go, I will surrender!
Through these three games, Barnes understood one thing, that is, Deng Fang did not lie to others before and will not lie to him in the future!
Deng Fang said he would start Barnes, and he would start him!
When Deng Fang said to be optimistic about yourself, he really means to be optimistic about yourself!
As long as he plays according to Deng Fang's instructions, Deng Fang will not break his promise.
In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Barnes' talent is already great and his shooting is not bad. Once he gains confidence, these problems will disappear.
The task assigned by Deng Fang is very simple, which is to shoot decisively when there are opportunities in positional battles, and attack the basket on a fast break!
As for defense, it's not a big deal for Barnes.
Defense requires a lot of talent, and it also depends more on motivation, and Barnes has both of these things.
The offensive end performed well, and the defensive end also found its feel.
Soon, Barnes found his touch. In the fourth game of his start, he exploded. He made 7 three-pointers in a single game and gave his opponents two big blocks on the defensive end!
The Warriors also won by 39 points!
This was unimaginable to Barnes before!
In the fifth game of his start, Barnes still performed well, making 5 of 7 three-pointers, severely punishing his opponents who missed him!
The Warriors also won by 37 points!
A top 3D is slowly emerging!
…
He has performed well in several consecutive games. After the Warriors lost three games in a row, Barnes silenced the doubters and made opponents dare not let him go.
Should we leave Barnes open or switch defenses to let Curry play small?
It’s all uncomfortable!
Curry can shoot three-pointers with people in front of him more accurately than most NBA players!
Barnes's three-point shooting percentage is also horribly high!
Forget it, it’s better to give up treatment...
It feels good to lie flat!
Anyway, the opponent is a warrior, it is not a crime of war!
It's not that we can't do it, it's that the enemy is too powerful!
Slowly, as Barnes' performance got better and better, the doubts about Deng Fang gradually disappeared.
Deng Fang is so wise!
Know things like a god!
Know people and make good use of them!
He is worthy of being the founder of the Warriors Dynasty!
From this point of view, there is no suspense about this year’s championship...
