Although the Spurs changed their lineup and were well prepared, the Warriors were still able to lead by 19 points in the second quarter, mainly because the Splash Brothers played a few more minutes.
Previously, the Splash Brothers would not have played in the second quarter.
Deng Fang's unconventional arrangement shows that he attaches great importance to the Spurs.
This Spurs is indeed very strong, especially on the offensive end!
Although it was at home, Deng Fang did not dare to slack off.
You must win the game you should win, this is non-negotiable!
What Deng Fang did surprised Popovich, but it was also reasonable.
Even Duncan and Ginobili played a lot of time in both quarters. What happened to the Splash Brothers?
The average age of the Warriors is much younger, especially the Splash Brothers. They spent more time to complete the game reasonably!
What's more, they don't play more time than the Spurs' main force!
It just took a few more minutes to fight than they did before!
After the two came up in the second quarter, the substitute's defense was a little worse, but the offensive power more than doubled!
It is also for this reason that the Warriors widened the point difference.
There's nothing Popovich can do about it.
Who lets people be younger than you? Who lets people play ball more than you?
Soon, the second half of the game started, with both teams starting the game.
After the first two quarters of the game, the Splash Brothers felt hot and fired up as soon as they started!
The Spurs turned on the box-1 mode again, and Curry immediately had no chance to shoot.
But Clay got a lot of vacancies as a result.
Although it's not as good as others' open opportunities, it's enough for Clay!
Take action, take action, take action!
This is the meaning of Clay's existence!
If you dare to double-team Curry, I will make you pay the price!
Although Curry was double-teamed, he passed the ball quickly and did not force the shot. He played very reasonably.
The hit rate is high and the shot is reasonable, the result will definitely not be bad!
The Spurs also performed well in the starting lineup, but they were still lagging behind the young Warriors.
You are reasonable, and others are also reasonable. You are accurate on the outside, but they are more accurate. You are experienced, and they have experienced the finals in the past few years, so they have a lot of experience.
The most important thing is that you are older, but they are still very young!
I have what you have, and I have what you don’t have. How can you play with this?!
The difference is slowly widening.
Popovich called two timeouts, but the effect was not very good.
Deng Fang has made full preparations, and his players have gone all out. If the Warriors don't make mistakes, the Spurs have little chance.
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score became 111:84, with the Warriors leading by 27 points.
The game basically lost its suspense.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams came on as substitutes and played for two minutes, but the point difference remained unchanged. Popovich replaced the starter and played for another three minutes, but the point difference remained unchanged.
The Warriors' bench is not weak at all, especially defensively, even better than the starters!
The Spurs, whose physical fitness was declining, encountered substitutes with stronger defense, but the effect was not very good.
In desperation, Popovich had to replace the starter.
The game went very quickly without any suspense.
In the end, the score was fixed at 139:108, and the Warriors won by 31 points!
With two consecutive home wins, Deng Fang has accomplished his mission.
Two days later, the third game was played at the Spurs' home court.
The Spurs' starting lineup remains unchanged in this game, with one senior and four juniors, with Ginobili starting.
This is the Spurs' strongest attacking lineup and their only chance to win.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, with one senior and four juniors.
The Spurs were more fully prepared for this game. They double-teamed Curry from the beginning and did not give him a chance.
Popovich is an old fox. He knows that no matter how well the Warriors cooperate and how many killing tricks they have, the most important thing is Curry!
Is Clay great?
sharp!
But without Curry's control, it would be difficult for Clay to lead the team to victory!
Limit Curry and the Spurs will have a chance to win!
If Curry can't be restrained, it's impossible for the Spurs to win!
Although there is not much hope of limiting Curry to win, it is possible!
Facing a double attack, Curry behaved very calmly and always released the ball immediately.
This is what Deng Fang repeatedly told before the game.
Others may make mistakes, but Popovich will not!
This is a level that Curry must face!
Although other teams have double-teamed Curry before, the Spurs' double-teaming is particularly good!
Deng Fang's request to Curry is to reduce mistakes and get the ball out as quickly as possible.
Just reduce mistakes and pass the ball!
It doesn't matter if you can't score, as long as you don't give the Spurs a chance to counterattack.
Curry did a good job, but the Spurs' defense was even better.
Not only did Curry have no chance to take action, but even Clay couldn't find a good opportunity to take action!
Popovich asked Danny Green to guard Curry and Leonard to guard Klay!
Parker defends Barnes, Ginobili defends Hayward!
Does mismatched defense suffer?
It doesn't matter!
You can attack from a flank, and so can we!
If it doesn't work, just let Barnes play Parker alone. Anyway, Duncan is in the paint, so you can make a mid-range shot if you want!
I don't believe that Barnes can beat me to death!
Popovich is crazy and dares to bet!
Under the Spurs' defense, the Warriors did not perform well offensively, and their scoring efficiency was very average.
They did a great job on the defensive end, and the Spurs felt surprisingly good on the offensive end!
Ginobili and Duncan set a pick-and-roll. As soon as the Warriors changed defense, Ginobili immediately took action!
Come in as soon as you take action!
Although he is older, Demon Sword is still immortal!
Danny Green and Leonard are also very good. When given the opportunity, they will throw it and they will score it!
The Spurs scored 6 three-pointers in the first quarter.
Relying on the defense and incredible touch, the Spurs led by 11 points after the first quarter!
In the second quarter, Parker, Danny Green and Leonard were all on the court, while Ginobili and Duncan rested off the court.
It seems that Popovich is desperate and will win this game no matter what.
This is a rare opportunity for a group of veterans, so they have to fight for it no matter what!
Deng Fang also sent the Splash Brothers, but this time the effect was not very good.
Danny Green and Leonard are both on the court, Mills' defense is also very good, and with the defensive hero Split, the Spurs' defense is not worse than the starting lineup.
The Spurs' strategy remains unchanged, as long as Curry is on the court, double-team him!
The Warriors' substitutes also had a mediocre touch. The two teams started a physical battle and it was difficult to score.
A few minutes later, Duncan and Ginobili came on the court, and the Warriors also changed to the starting lineup.
After the break, Ginobili's magic remained the same, and he cooperated well with Duncan, and the two continued to score points.
Soon, at the end of the second quarter, the Spurs led by 22 points.
This is very rare for the Warriors.
As soon as the third quarter started, Curry tried two long three-point shots, but Danny Green was very focused and led the defense from the front court. Curry took a hasty shot and failed to make either shot.
The Spurs are determined not to give Curry a chance!
Although Clay had a small explosion in the middle of the third quarter and hit four consecutive three-pointers, the Spurs still felt good and the point difference remained at double digits.
After the third quarter, the Spurs still led by 14 points.
In the fourth quarter, the Splash Brothers stayed on the court and played for more than 3 minutes, but Curry still had no chance to take a shot.
After 3 minutes, the point difference was still double digits, and the Spurs players were even more motivated.
After all, we see hope of winning!
Deng Fang on the sidelines smiled slightly, called a timeout, and replaced the Splash Brothers.
There is no touch in this game, and the opponent performs exceptionally well, so forget it!
It doesn’t matter if you lose in this kind of game!
After all, the opponent is not an ordinary team, nor is it in an ordinary state.
Seeing the Warriors replace the starting lineup, the Spurs players became even more energetic.
However, the Warriors' substitutes were also unambiguous, and the point difference did not widen much.
The final score was fixed at 118:101, and the Spurs won the third game.
The score between the two teams also became 2:1, with the Warriors leading.
