Chapter 661 Change
In the second quarter of the game, the two sides played off the bench for a long time.Especially the Warriors, their bench has a lot of talent.Under the leadership of two experienced veterans in Iguodala and Livingston, they will slowly chase their approaching score.
Compared with the previous games, the Thunder's substitutes performed well tonight.Under the leadership of Paul George, although they were approached by the opponent's point difference, they have always maintained the lead on the field.
In the second half, the main players played one after another.The two sides once again launched a fierce competition.
At this time, Cole made a change.He only allowed Green to play for 2 minutes!The Thunder have always used Green's point to double-team other outside players in turn.This made Splash and Durant very uncomfortable.Every attack has to face the defense of two people, either to take the first shot before the opponent is completely surrounded, or to bite the bullet and make a shot.This has greatly reduced the Warriors' offensive efficiency.Although the Thunder's offensive efficiency in the second half was not high, they still took the initiative in the game.
Therefore, Cole simply replaced Green.He moved Durant to the four and replaced him with Iguodala.Such a change has indeed changed the passiveness of the offensive end.After all, the Thunder dare not let Iguodala go.Don't look at this guy who doesn't score high in every game, it's because he takes few shots and his offensive efficiency is higher than most players.Especially in the playoffs, this is even more obvious.In the end it was the man who snatched the FMVP from Curry!Grant didn't dare to pull out to help An Luo and others double-team the opponent's outside players!On the contrary, he still needs the help of others. Durant is really too strong.
However, such a change did not allow the Warriors to reverse the unfavorable situation.While their offense has vastly improved, it also helped the Thunder improve.Without Green, it became difficult for the Warriors to face the Thunder's constant screens and constant changes of positions.Durant and Iguodala are both very good defensive players, but they lack the passionate, unstoppable momentum of Green.The performance on the court is not as active as Green.
Moreover, without Green, the Warriors' offense has not reached its strongest state.The defensive end is only part of Green's role for the Warriors.His support can free Curry.Many of Curry's points came from Green's assists.For Curry, there is no problem with attacking the ball and organizing the team's offense, but when he takes on the job of the No. [-] position, his lethality on the offensive end has been greatly reduced.Except for Green, no one can help Curry do these things.
At the end of the first half, Curry missed a super long three-pointer, temporarily fixing the score at 53:64.The Warriors are still behind the Thunder by as many as double digits.The changes in the second quarter allowed the Warriors to achieve some results.After all, they entered the second quarter with a 23-point disadvantage.However, they have not been able to completely solve the problems existing in the lineup.Replacing Green with Iguodala is also tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and it can't cure the root cause.
During the intermission, the Thunder locker room was full of joy and laughter.Their joy does not come from their lead on the court. In fact, for teams like the Thunder and Warriors, the 11-point difference is not a lead at all.Once they do not perform well on the court, the opponent can smooth it out in two or three rounds.They have done such things themselves.Their joy comes from Adams' return.In fact, at the beginning of the game, players like Donovan and An Luo were still a little worried.Although Donovan has repeatedly communicated with team doctors and professional medical experts to confirm, everyone is still very worried about Adams.For any professional player, injuries must be treated with caution.
But it now appears that Adams is indeed cured.With him at the basket, the Thunder's defense has improved a lot.For a player like Green, the most stable way to score is to rush to the basket for a layup.Noel couldn't defend the opponent before, but in this game, it is obvious that Green's efficiency at the basket has dropped sharply.You know, once Green can score, the Warriors' offense is unsolvable.When he can't score at the basket, Green is very embarrassed on the court.
If the Warriors can't resolve Green's conflicts on defense, support and offense, this game will be difficult.It can even be said that this series is difficult.Facing a team like the Thunder, any weakness may become the opponent's breakthrough.What's more, Green's weakness is so obvious.
Kerr certainly understands this, and he won't sit still.In fact, he took Green down to try to plug this weakness.But now it seems that Green has to be on the court.Green is a double-edged sword. He often kills one thousand enemies and damages himself eight hundred.How to enhance Green's offensive deterrence is the key to Cole's current predicament.As long as Green can score, the Thunder will not dare to empty it at will.In this way, he can contain some of the Thunder's defensive strength, and the situation of other players will not be as difficult as in the first quarter.
Cole is thinking of a way, and the Warriors players are also thinking of a way.Curry chatted with Thompson and Green, and they told Green that he had to make a decisive shot if he had a chance, and the feeling of shooting would be better.In the previous games, Green seemed very hesitant when facing an open three-pointer several times, and finally made a reluctant shot, and finally hit the iron.In the past two seasons, his three-point ability has degraded too quickly!If Green is still in the state he was in 14 or 15 years, no one would dare to let him catch the ball outside the three-point line.For a pitcher, confidence is very important.Green is not a shooter, but he has the ability to shoot three-pointers.It's just that he no longer has confidence in himself.As a result, the more you vote, the more biased you become, and the more biased you become, the less you dare to vote, and you can't get out.
The commentators, fans and even players from other teams who followed the game are also expressing their opinions in various ways.However, most of these people are holding the mentality of watching the fun.The spectator sees the problem clearly, but does not understand the actual difficulty.A lot of high-spirited talk is just talk on paper.
Donovan is also helping to "figure things out."Of course, he wasn't trying to make the opponent win the game.Donovan knows the Warriors well, but he still has to think from Cole's point of view, what changes the Warriors will make in the next game.
