Winning the Spurs did not come as a surprise to Deng Fang, it was something that had a high probability of happening.
As long as both teams play with full strength, the Warriors are obviously much stronger than the Spurs. As long as they are not too unlucky, the Warriors will win.
The GDP team is getting old, Duncan has been a weak point since he came up, and Parker and Ginobili no longer have the ability to play alone. It is possible to have a sudden inspiration, but it is impossible to lead the team to win by oneself.
So as long as they guard Aldridge, Leonard, and Danny Green and Mills on the outside, the Spurs can't win.
Aldridge's singles ability is good, but Bogut's defense is also very good. Aldridge can't take much advantage in front of Bogut.
As long as the Spurs can't open up inside, Danny Green and Mills on the outside will have no room to play.
As for Leonard, he is still leveling at this time and is not too much of a threat.
Therefore, the Warriors have a high probability of winning. As long as all members play, Deng Fang is not worried.

The Warriors' loss in this game was very surprising. After all, it was a home game. They had not lost at home for more than 50 consecutive years, and their opponent, the Celtics, was not a particularly strong team.
The main reason for the loss was Iguodala's absence.
Iguodala's role on the bench is still very important. In this game, the Celtics were all on the field and fighting hand-to-hand. In this case, it is quite difficult to miss Iguodala.
The Celtics played very tenaciously. In this situation, players with shortcomings like Barbosa and Livingston are very annoyed. Iguodala is both offensive and defensive, and his intensity is completely matched. Without him, it will still have a big impact.
of.
Judging from the post-game data, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage was as high as 46.5%, while the Celtics only made 34.8%. It was obvious that the Warriors felt fine. The main reason for the Warriors' loss was their inability to shoot free throws: the Warriors made 10 of 13 free throws in the game.
The Celtics made 19 of 30 free throws. The gap between the two teams is quite big!
It can also be seen in the turnovers. The Warriors made 22 turnovers and the Celtics made 14. It is obvious that the Warriors also have some problems on offense.
The Celtics use a small lineup. Sullinger, Amir Johnson and Jerebko are all power forwards with flexible movements. In this case, the absence of Iguodala will have a great impact.
The opponent has a small lineup. If you use a big lineup, the opponent's strategy is to break through, draw fouls, stand at the free throw line and score. The Warriors will be very annoyed without Iguodala. They can't guard Barbosa, and Livingston is not as strong.
There are still no three points, so it will be awkward no matter how you play.
Being able to allow the visiting team to get 30 free throws at home shows how big the Warriors' defensive problem is!
