Historically, both Curry and Barnes were absent against the Mavericks, with Curry's absence having the greatest impact.
Without Barnes, Rush is no worse than him on the offensive end. Although he is worse on the defensive end, it is not a big problem with the help of the system. But without Curry, the Warriors' system cannot operate.
This Warriors team is built around Curry. Without Curry, they would lose their soul!
Many people say that Curry is a system player and his personal strength is not strong. These people are idiots!
Which player doesn't play in a certain system? Even a self-contained system needs a system, right? Who can beat one against five?
James has always been considered to have his own system, but if there is no good shooter, if there are two meat shield big men in the penalty area, James will not be able to play well!
Why?
Because James is a breakthrough player, he must be given enough space, otherwise he will not be able to exert his own strength.
Curry is the same, but the system he needs is different from James. What Curry needs is a shooter like Klay to open up space for him, a passer like Green to deal from the top of the arc, and teammates with high intelligence to pick and roll with him.
run.
If Curry's system is given to James, James will definitely not be able to play well, because he does not have Curry's three-pointers, nor can he run back and make air cuts - it is not that he can't run, but he can't make a shot even if he runs out!
Similarly, if James' system is given to Curry, Curry's performance will not be as good as James's. Because of his height and jumping, Curry is much worse in physical confrontation. Opponents are prone to make mistakes in double attacks, and individual duels are easily restricted.
.
What kind of playing style requires what kind of system. Only in this way can the strength of the stars be maximized.
But no matter what, these systems are designed around stars. Without the fulcrum of stars, the system will not work well.
So the Warriors can live without Clay, Green, and Iguodala, but they cannot live without Curry!
The characteristics of Clay, Green, and Iguodala can only be brought out with the blessing of Curry!
It is also for this reason that historically the Warriors lost miserably to the Mavericks without Curry in this game.
This time Deng Fang was very straightforward and directly asked Curry and Barnes to come back, and the five dead players started directly!
Historically, they took advantage of my illness to kill me, but now I want to pay back double the amount!
Curry, Clay, Barnes, Iguodala, and Green, these five people appeared together. The starting five of the Mavericks opposite were Barea, Matthews, Parsons, Nowitzki and Pachuli.
Ya.
Although it was an away game, the power of the five small teams of death was still strong. The Warriors hit a 15:1 climax at the beginning and directly defeated the Mavericks!
The Mavericks set up a twin-tower lineup, with two big men Pachulia and Nowitzki on the court, and a lineup like the Warriors' death and five little Tianke!
After the timeout, the Mavericks replaced Pachulia and Nowitzki played center. Their offense was slightly better.
However, they still couldn't guard against the Warriors' offense, and the point difference continued to widen.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 19 points, and after halftime the score difference reached 25 points!
In the third quarter, Yong San crazy came as expected. Within four minutes, Curry and Clay jointly contributed 5 three-pointers, and the point difference was directly opened to 35 points!
The game completely lost its suspense.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 138:93, winning their 31st consecutive victory in the season!
Curry only played 26 minutes, making 9 of 11 three-pointers, scoring 41 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists!
Again, if it weren't for the Warriors' poor personnel, the Mavericks wouldn't have been able to win this game!
