Deng Fang's frankness surprised the reporter in Denver, but after he recovered, the reporter's face was filled with joy and his eyebrows were beaming: "This is what you said!"
"Of course!" Deng Fang replied simply: "When did you see me that your words don't count?"
"Haha, just wait!" The Denver reporter laughed happily: "The strongest point of the Nuggets is that they have so many people playing ball. If you abandon your martial arts skills now and lose so many people, there will definitely be bitter consequences.
food!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid!" Deng Fang replied: "Don't worry, the result of the sweep will not change!"
…
Deng Fang's promise was immediately reported by major media and immediately became the biggest hot spot in the NBA!
"Deng Fang actually took the initiative to give up four main players!"
"With the Splash Brothers, they will definitely sweep the Nuggets. How confident is Deng Fang!"
"This is a huge opportunity for the Nuggets, and also the best opportunity for other teams in the NBA!"
"If the Nuggets can't win like this, then George Karl will just pick a piece of tofu and get hit and die!"
"James must be a die-hard fan of the Nuggets now, and this is his best chance to win the championship!"
"Whether James can win the championship depends on the strength of the Nuggets!"
…
The media attention and fans’ interest will definitely be greater!
This is almost the best chance to defeat the Warriors!
Who doesn’t want to see such a showdown?
For a time, the Warriors game became a hot topic in the league, and the search volume skyrocketed!
The league is also very aware of current affairs and immediately turned the series between the Warriors and Nuggets into a national live broadcast!
All live!
I have to say that in terms of having no lower limit, the Alliance is definitely number one and unrivaled!
As long as there is something that can make money, there will never be a shortage of alliances!
Of course, this result is exactly what Deng Fang wanted!
Tickets for Warriors home games will be doubled immediately!
Advertising sponsors are also delighted!
A happy outcome for all!
The only ones worried are the die-hard Warriors fans.
Can the Warriors still win if they give up four main players?
What to do if you lose?
For die-hard Warriors fans, winning is the first priority!
The garbage time is too long and there is no suspense in the series?
This is the best result!
Diehard fans are never afraid of long garbage time!
The more disparate the score, the better. The best thing is that there is no suspense at all!
It is understandable for die-hard Warriors fans to think so, but Deng Fang cannot do this.
Deng Fang is the head coach of the Warriors and also the small boss of the Warriors. The Warriors must not only win, but also receive greater attention. This is in his best interest!
It is for this reason that the Warriors' starting lineup changed drastically in this game!
Curry, Clay, Middleton, Barnes and Yi Jianlian are the starting five!
Middleton and Yi Jianlian were originally substitutes for the Warriors, but now they are directly in the starting lineup!
Many people thought that Deng Fang would put Lopez and Tucker in the starting lineup, but no one expected that Deng Fang would do this!
How much you look down on the Nuggets!
The Nuggets' starting lineup has not changed, it is still Ty Lawson, Iguodala, Chandler, Faried, and McGee.
These five people showed 100% energy from the beginning, went all out, and fought very fiercely.
The Warriors gave the opportunity like this, wouldn't they be stupid if they didn't seize it?
The two teams started an offensive battle.
Without Yao Ming's inside control and Hayward's support and defense, the Warriors would have a big impact on both offense and defense.
The good thing is that the Splash Brothers are all here and the Warriors' offense is still online!
If no one supports him, let Curry hold the ball and beat Ty Lawson alone!
Anyway, Ty Lawson is not tall enough and his defense is average. Even if it is a hard shot, Curry's shooting percentage is very high!
Do the Nuggets dare to use Iguodala to guard Curry?
Then Clay has a chance!
Although Yao Ming is gone, Yi Jianlian still poses a threat on the offensive end.
Yi Jianlian's characteristics are his shooting ability and good jumping ability.
Before coming to the Warriors, Yi Jianlian had always relied on shooting as his main scoring method. After joining the Warriors, under Deng Fang's training, Yi Jianlian's shooting ability has made great progress.
However, Yi Jianlian has always had a problem with his shooting, which is that he takes a long time to prepare for shooting, is slow in shooting, and lacks accuracy.
Although his three-point shooting percentage is above the league average, Yi Jianlian still lags behind Yao Ming.
In addition, Yi Jianlian has no inside singles ability and is much worse than Yao Ming in blocking shots, so Yi Jianlian can only play as a substitute when Yao Ming is around.
But this does not mean that Yi Jianlian’s ability is weak!
Especially when working with Curry and Klay!
With Curry and Klay around, Yi Jianlian has enough space and time to take action, so slow shooting speed is not a problem!
Compared with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian moves quickly and bounces well, so the Warriors' offensive firepower is not much worse after replacing him!
Hayward's support ability is indeed much better than Middleton's, but Middleton's three-point shooting is also better than Hayward's, so in general, the Warriors' firepower is not bad, or even stronger.
Since these five people don't have much time to work together, the tacit understanding on the defensive end is not enough. The defense is definitely worse than the previous starters, but there is no problem with the five of them on the offensive end!
Because Curry is here and Clay opens up the space!
Since there is a problem on the defensive end, let’s go all out on offense!
The Warriors with Curry are never afraid to attack!
The pace of both teams is very fast!
The Nuggets' playing style is fast. Without Yao Ming, the Warriors will play fast even after Hayward!
The defense of the Warriors lineup is average, and the defense of the Nuggets is even worse!
This is good, everyone is focused on attacking!
Compared with the Nuggets, the biggest advantage of the Warriors' lineup is accurate shooting!
Needless to say, the Splash Brothers, even Barnes, Middleton and Yi Jianlian can shoot more accurately than the Nuggets!
Iguodala's three-pointers are average, and the same goes for Ty Lawson. Faried and McGee have no three-pointers at all, and only Chandler's three-pointers are on the line!
Only one person on the Nuggets can shoot a three-pointer, but five players on the Warriors can do it!
Yi Jianlian, the Warriors' worst shooter, is about the same as Chandler, the Nuggets' best shooter!
The two teams are much different in terms of shooting!
Without three-pointers, the Nuggets' offense can only rely on fast breaks, but the Warriors are different. Fast breaks are fine, and positional warfare is not bad either!
The two teams played very fast, but the point difference kept widening!
After the first quarter, the Warriors led by 8 points at 39:31.
In the second quarter, the Warriors' pure substitute lineup: Azubuike, Ariza, Tucker, Draymond Green, and Lopez Jr. played.
The Warriors have a total of fourteen people, divided into two groups, each group has seven people, and each group has two substitutes. Now there are two fewer people in each group. In order not to affect the rotation, Deng Fang had to bring in the substitutes.
The Warriors' bench lineup is not bad on the defensive end, or even better. Their only problem is that their offense is not good.
Lowry, the only point guard on the Warriors' bench, was taken off the bench, and their offense was immediately paralyzed.
Deng Fang’s choice is to let Draymond Green organize!
This move shocked all fans, including the commentators.
Deng Fang actually asked a power forward to serve as point guard, and this player was still a rookie!
