Chapter 776: 20 points is not a lag
Chen Mo asked Jackson and Green to play together, and asked them to follow Durant closely.
Chen Mo is equivalent to finding two bodyguards for Durant to restrain Durant.
For the Warriors' current roster, it's certainly easier to limit Westbrook than to cut the link between the two of them entirely.
Thompson's ability to defend opposing defenders is still outstanding.
And the Warriors' current configuration wants to block the positioning and cover cooperation between Durant and Westbrook one-on-one, which is difficult.
Chen Mo's substitution played a very good role, Green's strength and speed matched Jackson's old spiciness, and Durant could no longer be as comfortable as before.
Westbrook didn't particularly dominate against Thompson, but he still played a huge amount of energy as a top team in the league.
In the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Thunder outscored the Warriors by four points.
"The advantage is smaller than in the budget. "Coach Brooks wasn't in the mood like a leader.
The camera swept over the faces of the two head coaches, and Timothy Glenn still didn't look sad or happy, and his expression was never rich among NBA head coaches.
"Facial paralysis players in the coaching team. Barkley complained.
"If he goes to the Spurs, he might be able to replace Tim Duncan's facial paralysis on the bench," Smith said. ”
During the timeout, Smith and Barkley were discussing Timothy Glenn's condition with facial paralysis.
Timothy Glenn didn't have any anxiety in his heart, and in Chen Mo's absence, the Warriors only lost to the Thunder by 9 points, which is a completely acceptable situation.
And they didn't call a pause again because they wanted to replace Chen Mo, they waited until the advertising pause time, and Chen Mo's rest time was one more minute than usual.
Chen Mo reappeared, and the second young man of Thunder still did not rest.
"I didn't change the lineup. Barkley said: "Vucevic plays center, and the Golden State Warriors are still not ready to launch a stormy attack. ”
"That's the right way to go, the Golden State Warriors are now more and more mature in their style of play, and they are more inclined to control the pace of the game than to give the opponent time to turn the tables after a storm of attacks. Kenny Smith said.
The regular season and the playoffs are different, and the playoffs rarely go into garbage time, and even if the Warriors pull the score away, the Thunder will never be beaten away from the game. And when the excitement of the Warriors passes, they are likely to be reversed by the Thunder. After all, the explosive power of the Thunder Ershao's score is not covered.
Chen Mo suppressed the rhythm of the game, he completed the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Vucevic, and then he rushed directly to the basket, Perkins' defense looked extremely clumsy in Chen Mo's opinion, and Chen Mo easily sent the ball into the basket in a flash.
Brooks yelled from the sidelines, "Don't let him break through easily, keep him out of the three-second zone." ”
Because the Warriors have always maintained a certain height, the Thunder still have to put Perkins on the court. If they let Serge Ibaka play as a centre-forward, their attacking power will be hampered in attack.
The choice between offense and defense is also a headache for the Thunder.
The strong point of the Thunder and the strong point of the Warriors are exactly right, and many of the advantages of the Warriors are not possessed by the Thunder, so the chances of such a series matchup for the Thunder are very slim.
The playoffs are all about alignment, and the Thunder, who are not dominant in the alignment, can stalemate with the Warriors all the way, which can only show that their strong points are really strong enough.
Chen Mo's appearance almost immediately helped the Warriors take control of the situation, and Chen Mo quickly made the assist stats also double-double after scoring double-doubles.
Westbrook is once again connected with Durant, and they must also choose to play as physically efficient as possible, otherwise they will collapse sooner or later due to physical exhaustion.
Curry directly pressed to Durant's side, Chen Mo reached out to steal, Durant sped up the frequency of shots, and the shot in a hurry did not score.
Curry immediately turned around and used his back to block Durant's path, and Vucevic, Green and Jackson all began to block people, and several of them acted like bodyguards to block all the Thunder players behind them.
Chen Mo rushed straight to the basket, and he had the upper hand in the scramble with Westbrook. Chen Mo's judgment of the ball landing point is very accurate, which is his huge advantage in grabbing rebounds.
Chen Mo, who took the lead, pocketed the ball, and then he held the ball and began to advance to the court.
"If Jack comes to grab the rebound, our counterattack will be affected a lot. Timothy Glenn understands the problem, but he still chooses to let Chen Mo brush the data.
"Are they helping Jack with the data?" Smith asked.
Barkley frowned, shaking his fat head, "I don't know, it's hard to understand." I don't doubt Jack's ability to grab rebounds among guards, but if so, how do they push on the counterattack?"
The biggest problem with Chen Mo's rebounds is that the Warriors can't quickly push the counterattack.
"You're going to lose. Westbrook reminded Chen Mo.
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It doesn't exist." ”
Westbrook wants Chen Mo to lose because of the data, but if the opponent insists on doing so, he can't continue to dissuade him. After all, if Chen Mo loses because of swiping data, the one who wins is Westbrook.
"If you lose, even if you get four doubles, I won't admit it. Westbrook said one last word, and then went into a state of concentrated defense.
"I'm going to win, and the data will do it. Chen Mo said.
This time, Chen Mo chose to single Westbrook, and he completed a back shot to Westbrook at the free throw line.
Chen Mo's back body skills are already among the top in the league, and if you look at it technically alone, maybe even Kobe Bryant is not as good as Chen Mo.
Durant held the ball directly across the half court and completed a three-point jumper that stopped at a short time.
Kevin responded forcefully. Barkley said: "This three-pointer stabilized the entire Thunder team. ”
The clock was ticking on, and the Warriors were in control of the game, leading by six points at the end of the first half.
"The Oklahomans withstood a half. "But what are they going to do in the second half, the Thunder's physical attrition and the offensive storm that the strongest team has in the third quarter is a problem that Brooks has to solve in the locker room." ”
"The situation in basketball can never be seen by the score. While the Golden State Warriors have a six-point lead, they are the side that holds a huge advantage. Barkley added: "The Aucklanders were within 20 points down at half-time and I always thought they were the dominant side. ”
