Chapter 616: A Little Trouble
The Nuggets did cause problems for the Warriors, who were a little tired from yesterday's game against the Lakers in Los Angeles and didn't start the game as well as they wanted when they returned home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Green started the game, but he couldn't keep Iguodala at bay.
Iguodala defends well, and the Warriors will certainly not be able to take advantage of Iguodala if they go to Barnes.
This Nuggets team is not as talented as before after leaving Anthony, but their current group of players are extremely athletic and are known as the "head gang." ā
The Nuggets got Iguodala through Howard's big trade, and they wanted to use Iguodala's talent to fill Anthony's gap. But Iguodala proved himself not to be a good leader early in Philadelphia, and he may be an important piece of the puzzle for a championship, but he can't be the cornerstone of a team.
Now that it's time for the Nuggets, Iguodala still can't play a superstar role.
The Nuggets got off to a great start, using their athleticism to catch the Warriors off guard.
Chen Mo's performance in the first quarter of the game was not very good, he saw that his teammates couldn't open the situation, so he went more to connect the team to help his teammates, and he couldn't attack by himself as soon as the team had any problems, which was easy for his teammates to develop the habit of relying on him.
Chen Mo's personal attack ability is indeed good, but he is not a pure attacker like Kobe. A large part of his threat comes from tandem playmaking against the team. If it weren't for the big threat of his passing, the individual attack would have to be discounted.
After all, Chen Mo is at a disadvantage in height, and his speed and body have improved a lot compared to the original, but he can't directly crush the opponent's defense through these. If he played like that, he would have played Iverson.
But the more this happens, the more momentum the Nuggets have.
Everyone knows that the Warriors are strong, and their goal is to break the long-standing record of 33 consecutive wins, so naturally anyone who meets the Warriors wants to win. Winning the Warriors is in the headlines at this time, and it goes without saying.
In the first quarter of the game, Chen Mo scored 6 points himself, and he shot fewer shots than usual, but the overall momentum of the team still did not rise. The team's lifeless appearance and inability to open the situation made Chen Mo's mood not very good.
"Let's rotate according to the usual rhythm!" Chen Mo discussed with Timothy Glenn. It's not that Chen Mo is unwilling to play early in the second quarter, but if it destroys the team's rotation rhythm at this time, it will not be beneficial to the growth of rookies and the team's run-in.
Timothy Glenn is actually a little worried, after all, the Warriors' rhetoric of breaking the 33-game winning streak has long been said, and it will not be good if the winning streak is ended at this time. When the time comes, the Oklahoma media will definitely have to taunt them, and this is not very good for the team's morale.
"Don't worry, it's still early. Chen Mo was even more calm.
In fact, Chen Mo is not bad, now the Warriors are 11 points behind, and there are still three full quarters of the game, for them there is still time.
Chen Mo was a little too supportive, and at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Nuggets' offense was more violent, and they played a wave of 9-1 attacks, and the point difference was about to break through to 20 points.
Curry then hit a three-pointer, but then Iguodala assisted Ty Lawson to make it 2+1, and the difference was still maintained at 19 points.
Chen Mo clenched his fists, and he was always a little nervous.
Curry turned his head to look at Chen Mo, but didn't say much, but pursed his lips and silently made a decision in his heart.
Curry started playing more singles, and he knew that now the team needed to score more points on their own.
This game is related to the Warriors' 33-game winning streak, but it was just an ordinary regular season game. If the team needs to rely on Chen Mo's personal ability to get through the difficulties at this time, when it comes to the playoffs, Chen Mo will always be unable to play.
The Warriors have one less David Lee this season, but it's a bench bandit who averages 18.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. When David Lee was around, Biedlins was a pseudo-starter, and there were many times when the pick-and-roll between David Lee and Chen Mo and Curry was an important scoring tool for them in the rotation.
David Lee can block and shoot, can respond to shots, and is a very good power forward.
Although only David Lee is missing now, the Warriors' roster has a lot to change.
Both Green and Barnes lack experience, they have talent but need them to turn their talent into strength.
Today, the Nuggets came up with this slam, and it was obvious that both Green and Barnes were a little confused. Kirilenko is not in good shape today, he is older and his form has fluctuated greatly.
Curry passes the ball to Ty Lawson, who is not very famous, but his strength is very good. He is only 1.8 meters tall, but he is fast, physically strong, and not bad at defense.
But Curry is not panicked about such a player, Curry shoots quickly, the rhythm of the feints changes a lot, and the most important thing is that he shoots quickly, and it is very advantageous to play a player like Ty Lawson.
"Huh!"
After a back-and-forth swing, Curry suddenly made a move. Ty Lawson's reaction was already quick, but Curry's hand speed still allowed Ty Lawson not to interfere with his shooting in the slightest.
The ball went in, and Curry clenched his fist hard.
Chen Mo jumped up on the sidelines and shook his fist violently, which made him very excited, the warrior did need someone to stand up at this time, but it was not him.
The Nuggets got off to a great start tonight, but they need someone to step up and suppress the Warriors' comeback momentum at this time. After all, Chen Mo hasn't come back yet, suppressing this wave of warriors, and when Chen Mo comes back, they can still maintain their vigorous momentum. When the time comes, if you can withstand the wave of counterattack after Chen Mo returns, the Nuggets may be able to enter the second half with a big lead.
If they can go into the second half with a nearly 20-point advantage, it will do a lot to their morale, and maybe end the Warriors' winning streak at Oracle Arena today.
Generally speaking, the one who plays the response ball to suppress the opponent's counterattack momentum must be the number one star of the team. Now, the Nuggets' number one star is Andre Iguodala, and Ty Lawson dribbled the ball across the halfcourt and handed it directly to Iguodala. The rest of the team also pulled away and let Iguodala single.
Iguodala knows what to do, and he has a bit of confidence in the face of Kirilenko. He scored eight points against Kirilenko today, hitting three shots from AK47's head and causing a foul.
Although Kirilenko spent most of the time playing dead today, he also knew when to make a move.
Iguodala didn't get the space he wanted with a series of feints, he crashed into Kirilenko and shot straight away, forcing a shot with no certainty, and the ball bounced straight out of the basket.
Green accepted the rebound, Curry took the ball and ran directly to the opponent's basket, Chen Mo stood up again, he clenched his fists, looking as excited as an ordinary fan.
