The Warriors' starter, who had rested for one game, also appeared again.
Granger's playing effect is obvious, and the Pacers' offense is much better.
Granger played well today. Even when faced with defensive turns by Laga Bell and Prince, he could continue to score.
Relying on Granger's single and Brandon Rush's two three-pointers, the Pacers recovered the score by a few points.
But Curry was not to be outdone on the Warriors' side, constantly destroying the Pacers' defense with off-ball movements and pick-and-rolls.
After finding the feeling, Curry began to let himself go, and he hit two super long three-pointers without warning against Deng Tai Jones's defense.
For this reason, Dengtae Jones had to defend Curry from the backcourt.
Soon, at the end of half-time, the score between the two teams became 56:42!
The Warriors lead by 14 points.
Granger played well and scored 18 points, 1 assist and 5 rebounds in the half.
Curry did not give in and also scored 19 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds.
The third quarter started quickly.
As expected, after only playing for two minutes, Yong Sanmang came again!
Curry made three three-pointers in two minutes!
Including two super long three-pointers!
The Warriors players' emotions were also aroused, and their defense was upgraded again.
The Pacers' already difficult offense became even more difficult, and they began to make constant mistakes.
The Warriors' fast breaks were like a tidal wave, one after another.
The score instantly stretched to more than 20 points!
The Pacers called two timeouts in a row for this.
But pausing has no effect.
The Pacers can only rely on Granger's singles to stay alive.
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams became 89:68!
The Warriors lead by 21 points.
The fourth quarter started with substitute time.
The Pacers' substitutes were very "awesome" and the point difference widened to 30 points in two minutes!
The game therefore entered garbage time early.
Turiaf and Tolliver also entered the game early.
The final score between the two teams was fixed at 118:89!
The Warriors won by 29 points.
7 consecutive wins also successfully achieved!
Granger performed well in this game, scoring 28 points, 2 assists and 8 rebounds against the defense of Laga Bell and Prince.
Without Granger, the Pacers would have lost even more miserably.
Curry's performance on the Warriors' side was equally mediocre. He scored 31 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds against the defensive champion Deng Tai Jones.
Not surprisingly, at the post-match press conference, Deng Fang once again expressed "dissatisfaction":
"Curry's score is unqualified! He only had 9 assists!"
"Allowing Granger to score 28 points shows that our defense is not good enough! We must continue to work hard and defend well."
"Curry's scoring will definitely rebound after the game, it can't stay this low!"
"How many points will Curry score in the next game? Let's start with 40 points!"
"The winning streak ends? No, it's impossible!"
"The opponent in the next game is the Knicks? I think winning by 30 points is not a problem."
"What about the Knicks? A bad team! A bad team forever!"
…
After the game, the Warriors once again appeared on the homepages of major media:
"The Warriors started with seven consecutive wins and created team history!"
"The rookie head coach has made a blockbuster success and is raving that his winning streak will continue!"
"When will the Warriors' winning streak end? Let's wait and see!"
"With the Warriors starting a three-point craze, will the league change forever?"
"Rookie Curry averaged 34 points per game and made history with 12 assists. He is a rising star!"
"Averaging 5 three-pointers per game, Ku Ritian is coming!"
…
Deng Fang gained 4 ability points in this game.
There are now 24 ability values in total!
…
After beating the Pacers, the Warriors flew to New York overnight.
Since the Warriors were on a five-game away schedule and the players were relatively tired, Deng Fang did not arrange training the next day.
After a day of rest, the second game of five consecutive away games started at 7pm on November 13th.
The Warriors' opponent in this game is the New York Knicks.
The Knicks in the new century are a bad team, and this season is no different.
Before this game with the Warriors, the New York Knicks had a record of eight losses and one win!
See who loses!
The current head coach of the Knicks is Mike D'Antoni.
D'Antoni is a head coach with a distinctive personality, and his label is offense!
The world-famous 7-second offense of the Suns was created by D'Antoni.
What is the meaning of flowing clouds and flowing water, and mercury pouring down the ground?
Just look at the Suns' 7-second offense!
The 7-second offense controlled by Nash is really exciting to watch!
However, only half of this credit can be attributed to D'Antoni.
Why?
Because of Nash!
Although Nash wasn't that good with the Mavericks before.
But without Nash, D'Antoni's team has never played a 7-second offense like that again!
So who is better, D'Antoni or Nash?
It can only be said that the two of them succeeded each other.
D'Antoni's specialty is building the team's offense.
This requires a super point guard!
But super point guards are not so easy to find!
The current point guard of the Knicks is Chris Duhon, who is a very mediocre point guard.
Du Hong is 27 years old this year. He is 1.85 meters tall. He has a good three-pointer and a good defense. However, his speed is only average and his court vision is limited. It is difficult to organize the team's offense.
If you hand a point guard who is not good at organization but good at defense to a head coach who is only good at coaching offense, the results can be imagined.
8 losses and 1 win is the best proof!
D'Antoni's advantage is that he is good at coaching offense, but his disadvantage is that he does not pay much attention to defense, or is not good at arranging defense.
Therefore, D'Antoni's team's defense is relatively poor.
Another problem with D'Antoni is that he is quite stubborn. He can use 6 players in each game but never 7! He can use veterans and never use rookies!
This also makes it difficult for his substitutes to play, requiring more reliance on the starting lineup.
The Knicks' starting five are Chris Duhon, Larry Hughes, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler and David Lee.
Larry Hughes is a 30-year-old veteran, 1.96 meters tall, not a good shot, and has basically no three-pointers.
But his breakthrough is good and his defense is also pretty good.
Of course, Larry Hughes's defense is somewhat watery. He is mainly good at one-on-one defense, has more gambling steals, and has average team defensive awareness.
Wilson Chandler is 22 years old, 2.03 meters tall. He is a forward with three-pointers, but he is unstable and has good defense.
Gallinari is a sophomore, 21 years old, 2.08 meters tall, accurate shooting, good post-up play, and good defense.
David Lee is 26 years old and 2.06 meters tall. He was originally a power forward, but is now used as a center by D'Antoni.
David Lee has a mid-range shot, but no three-pointers. He is good at facing the frame and rebounding well.
His problem is mainly that he is not good at defense. He struggles with single defense, cannot block shots, and has no help defense.
It's obvious that the Knicks' starting lineup was completely built according to D'Antoni's ideas.
The power forward is used as a center to improve the team's offensive flexibility and strengthen the court space.
The forwards and defenders are taller to make up for the disadvantage of the center.
This is very similar to the idea of the Super Five used by D'Antoni during the Rockets era in later generations.
