The Nuggets never expected that Deng Fang would put Green in the starting lineup, nor did they expect that Green and Curry would cooperate so well!
Some things are talents and do not require practice.
Football IQ and IQ are just like that. People who don't have them can't learn them no matter what.
Under Green's guidance, the Warriors' offense was smooth, and they beat the Nuggets 15:0 in the second half!
Three three-pointers, two dunks, two plus one!
The Nuggets originally led by 14 points, but in just over 3 minutes, the double-digit lead was wiped out!
The Nuggets quickly called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Nuggets were no longer so determined when attacking Curry. The defender of Green immediately returned to his position after delaying Curry.
This is the fear of being beaten by other members of the Warriors!
Curry is flanked and others hit consecutively. In this situation, anyone would murmur in their hearts.
Although Curry also made a three-pointer, it was a quick shot, and it seemed that there was a lot of luck.
Compared to Curry's three-pointer, other people's 100% shooting percentage is even more terrifying!
In fact, it’s not just a 100% hit rate, but two two plus one!
It's obvious that the Warriors' touch is back. If they are still as defensive as before, I guess the Warriors are about to gain momentum!
Once Yong San crazy comes, the game will be over!
And Curry has been tightly guarded for so long, and he only hit one three-pointer after taking several shots. Does this mean that Curry is not in good condition in this game?
Some stars do fall into inhibitions from time to time.
If Curry is not in good condition today, if the previous defense works and makes Curry lose his touch, then you can choose to relax your defense on him.
So George Karl chose to fake a flank attack and really pursue defense.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with George Karl doing this.
For most players in the league, sending one person to pursue you resolutely is already very respectable, not to mention that the Nuggets also sent another person to help defend!
There was no chance for Curry in the first half, and Curry didn't score a point. In this case, it is definitely the right thing to take care of the rest of the Warriors who are feeling resurgent.
George Carl's idea is correct, and it is fine in most cases.
But not against Curry!
For Curry, it only takes a few minutes to kill someone!
For Curry, there is no need to attack with the ball to kill the game!
For Curry, it is enough as long as the opponent's defense is slightly relaxed!
Curry and Green pick-and-roll again. McGee steps forward to block Curry and then goes back to defend Green. As soon as McGee turns around, Curry raises his hand and shoots!
Ty Lawson just caught up and had no time to block the shot.
Of course, Ty Lawson's height cannot affect Curry's shooting.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
The Nuggets attack, Ty Lawson breaks through to no avail, and is rewarded with a big block by Green. Curry picks up a rebound outside the three-point line and dribbles straight to the frontcourt. Chandler of the Nuggets follows Curry closely.
When he came outside the three-point line, he made an emergency stop and shot directly!
The basketball hits the net again!
The Nuggets had a baseline kick. Curry pretended to defend, suddenly turned around, stole the ball from Lawson, quickly dribbled the ball to outside the three-point line, raised his hand and shot!
Three-pointer hit again!
Lawson didn't react at all!
You succeeded in stealing, but I was near the free throw line, and there was Chandler in the penalty area. You were one on two. In this case, shouldn't you wait until your teammates come back?
Isn’t that what coaches teach?
You just threw the ball away?
Aren't we playing basketball?
What, the basketball really scored?
Is there any more justice?
…
In just over a minute, Curry hit three three-pointers in a row!
The Warriors went ahead by ten points!
Four minutes ago the Nuggets were leading by 14 points, and four minutes later the Nuggets were 10 points behind!
George Karl almost collapsed!
I just relaxed my defense against Curry for a minute!
Isn’t the price of this minute too high?
Clay and the others are already feeling good, can't I just take care of them a little bit?
Where did I go wrong?
Of course, no matter how frustrated you are, you still have to call the timeout.
After the timeout, the Nuggets then flanked Curry and continued their previous tactics.
George Karl finally understood a truth, that is, no matter whether Curry scores or not, no matter whether Curry looks good or not, he cannot let Curry take a shot!
The game can be lost, but Curry must die!
This is the first principle when playing against the Warriors!
Iron law!
An iron rule that must never be forgotten!
There is no other reason than that Curry’s scoring power is so explosive!
George Carl had a very good idea. He thought that he could just correct his mistakes if he knew they were wrong, but what he didn't know was that some people would not give him a chance to correct them!
Such as Curry!
Once Curry gets the touch, once he gets the feeling, Curry's shooting will become more and more crazy!
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, and Ty Lawson stayed close to the defense, denying Curry any chance to shoot.
Curry was not anxious at all. He glanced at Green and motioned for him to come up for the pick-and-roll, and then glanced at Ty Lawson's left side.
Lawson subconsciously moved his weight to the left.
The screener is coming up, and the defender must be prepared in advance to squeeze through.
Unexpectedly, Curry took a step to dribble to the right, raised his hand and shot!
The basketball hits the net again!
In the next round, Curry dribbled just past the midline, and Iguodala came up to double-check Curry.
If you're not in the right state, then I won't give you a chance to take action!
Force you to pass the ball!
Just after passing the center line, two people came to attack. In this situation, anyone would pass the ball.
Ty Lawson thought the same way. He pounced forward, but was already ready to return to cover after Curry passed the ball.
It is necessary to flank Curry, but the people behind him cannot be completely ignored!
Unexpectedly, Curry glanced at Iguodala, then looked at the basket, raised his hand and shot!
Lawson was not prepared at all!
You know, Lawson is standing one meter away from the three-point line, and Curry is still one meter away from him!
Not only that, there was Iguodala coming over to flank him!
Should we still take action under such circumstances?
To say you are crazy is not an exaggeration at all!
Lawson subconsciously stretched out his hand, then looked back at the basket.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
Ty Lawson shook his head helplessly, extremely frustrated!
There is no way, what I am facing is not a normal human being!
Everything is thrown in, what can I do?
This is not a level confrontation at all!
Beyond human power!
Lawson was frustrated, but Iguodala was very sober. He stepped forward and whispered a few words in front of Lawson, then came to the sideline to serve and continue the game.
Next, the Nuggets became more attentive in defending Curry. As long as Curry passed the center line, the Nuggets would come up with two players to attack!
It doesn’t matter if you pick and roll or not!
It doesn’t matter how far you are from the three-point line!
