The Splash Brothers are back!
Maybe it’s Kevin Durant’s injury that makes the Warriors, especiallyCurry has completely returned to his 73-win game and feel., the Warriors continued to design and block gaps for Curry throughout the game, and Curry lived up to his mission and hit one outside shot after another.Thompson is the Warriors' anchor on both offense and defense., he will jump out when needed on the offensive end, and provide steady output every second on the defensive end, taking turns to intercept and block attacks.LillardAnd McCollum, the wave of power and courage is the constant secret to victory.
The Trail Blazers may have been affected by the fact that the Western Conference Championship Game took place less than two days after Game 7 of the second round. They rushed back to San Francisco from Denver to play in the game. According to TNT sideline reports, the Trail Blazers team not only did not practice, but also did not have much practice. During the break, the Trail Blazers were unable to concentrate throughout the game. They committed 13 turnovers in the first half (the season average was 13.3). Facing the Warriors' 12 most double-teams this season, Lillard withstood 9 of them, resulting in Lillard only taking 12 shots (if Jusuf Nurkic was here, facing double-teams from the far side and letting him, who could distribute the ball and attack himself, get the ball …),andMcCollumThe confidence is not high. Several layups and floaters were not as efficient as the last two games against the Nuggets.
But we also have to praise the Blazers' lieutenants. Several times the Warriors seemed ready to take away the game in a wave, but someone jumped out to support the game. Maurice Harkless andRodney Hood17 points,Zach Collins’s 8 points and Enes Kanter’s 10 points, plus 16 offensive rebounds in the entire game, also caused the Warriors a lot of trouble, and they were not pulled away until the latter part of the fourth quarter.
This is just the first game, and both sides have gained something. The Warriors' core Splash Brothers finally performed normally, and the entire team seems to have a sense of crisis. Curry's perimeter is not the icing on the cake, but a need in a scorched earth battle. Thompson's The defense bogged the Blazers down with both guns. The Trail Blazers were still able to interact with the Warriors in the first half despite being physically weak, and they lost the whole game to Curry's unanswerable three-pointer.
The second match between the two sides will be at 9:00 am on Friday (5/17) Taiwan time.
