264 Terrible Discovery!
As a last resort, Kerr called another timeout, during which a roar could be clearly heard coming from the Warriors' bench area.
"Well done, boys, keep it up like this, I'm proud of your performance"
On the other hand, on the Spurs' side, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and Popovich affirmed Jin Feng's performance.
In fact, everyone in the Spurs, including Popovich, did not expect that they would achieve such a huge score advantage before the first quarter of the game was played.
You must know that although there was an arrangement before the game, everyone in the whole team was prepared for hardship, after all, the opponent was the Golden State Warriors, whose overall strength was stronger than theirs.
"The Warriors lost in the shooting percentage, look at the game to the present, the shooting percentage of the two teams, the Warriors are only a pitiful 28 percent, while the Spurs are a terrifying 73 percent"
"Therefore, for the Warriors who are behind by a large score, their top priority is to find their hand, at least three of the Big Four will return to normal, otherwise, against a defensive team like the Spurs, although the first quarter of the game has not been played, they may not be able to recover the score in the end"
"This season proves that when the Golden State Warriors, who have excellent offensive ability, and then Kevin Durant joins, their offensive firepower is the best in the league, however, it is such an epic offensive team, but it shot a miserable shooting rate in the first quarter, in addition to the slump on the offensive end, to be honest, the Golden State Warriors are not good enough on the defensive end, and the Spurs' shooting rate of more than 70% is the best proof, and the conclusion is that the Warriors have not played their normal level since the beginning of this game."
"And in fact, it's not just the Golden State Warriors who aren't playing at their normal level, making us feel as if we're seeing a fake Warriors, even if the Spurs are leading by a big score at the moment, their performance is also incomprehensible to us."
"We all know that against a team like the Warriors, the biggest advantage for the Spurs is on the inside, but the fact is that the Spurs have a huge lead, but they don't rely on the inside, they do it in the way that the Warriors do best."
"To be honest, at this time, we have to praise China Jin, the reason why the Spurs can play so well on the outside has a lot to do with his excellent play, China Jin and Tony Parker are two styles, but there is no doubt that his play has really helped the team a lot"
"The Warriors need to adjust their shooting touch and find their shooting crosshairs, and for the Spurs, who are leading by a large score, now is not the time to slack off, because on the one hand, the first quarter of the game has not been played, and on the other hand, once the Warriors find their shooting touch, they have the ability to catch up with the score in a short period of time, so the form that the Spurs are facing is still very serious."
There is no need for the on-site commentator to remind them, in fact, Jin Feng and they know very well in their hearts that this game has only begun, and the lead now does not prove anything, and everyone is not complacent because of the 18-point lead.
After the pause, both sides made personnel adjustments, on the Warriors' side, Pachuglia was replaced by Iguodala, so that Green went to the center position, and Durant went to the power forward position, which is obviously the strongest version of the "Death Five", Kerr's adjustment clearly revealed a signal, that is, crazy chasing points, because after Pachuglia went off the court, the Warriors' interior disadvantage was more obvious, although Durant had a certain rebounding and basket protection ability, but as long as Leonard was there, he would not be easy.
On the Spurs' side, Popovich replaced Danny Green with Jonathan Simmons, who was more athletic, and Danny Green's previous performance was very good, but at this time, Popovich had to choose to replace him, because he had guessed that Kerr would produce the strongest version of the Death Five lineup, which was obviously much stronger than the previous starting lineup, and for the Spurs, the athleticism of the inner twin towers was really not flattering, so at this time, I wanted to compete with the Warriors, Adjustments must be made on the outside while ensuring that the inside line continues to dominate.
"Taking advantage of this timeout, both sides made personnel changes, let's see how both teams performed after the timeout"
The game continued, first the Warriors' offense, it was still Curry who advanced with the ball, and the first impression to Jin Feng was that after the pause, Curry was obviously increasing the speed of advancing with the ball, "Sure enough", Jin Feng sneered in his heart, just like Popovich warned them during the timeout, the Warriors really planned to use athleticism to speed up the pace of the game.
In the face of Jin Feng's defense, Curry did not make a rash shot, but handed the ball to Durant, who distributed the ball to Thompson in the bottom right corner, and Thompson hit a random three-point shot, which was the first shot he hit so far in this game (and naturally the first three-point).
Curry didn't make a rash shot, but patiently passed the ball, and finally let Thompson shoot, which was just an ordinary offense, but it made Jin Feng, who was in charge of defending Curry, couldn't help frowning.
He suddenly realized that the real difficulty in this game, and perhaps for him, for the Spurs, was yet to come, because the Stephen Curry they were facing was no longer the Stephen Curry who was obsessed with shooting threes in the playoffs last season.
There is no doubt that from Jin Feng's point of view, Stephen Curry has become stronger, and such an opponent makes him frightened and makes him ready to move.
You are the league's most valuable player in the regular season for two consecutive years, Stephen Curry's special skill is a perverted quasi-three-pointer, in the 2014~2015 season, he once relied on this trick to lead the Golden State Warriors to defeat LeBron James's Cavaliers in the finals, and won the first O'Brien Cup in his career, which is an honor, but it is also a bane!
Why is it a bane again?
Because of the same tricks, in the 2015~2016 playoffs and finals, it failed, his metamorphosis is no longer magical, he is no longer the savior, and the record-breaking 73-win team in the regular season suffered Waterloo in the finals, setting a series of shameful records.
'I didn't play as well as I should have been, they played better and obviously I was terrible'
That's what Curry said in his post-game press conference after last season's Finals loss, or taking all the blame for the loss on his own.
At the time, perhaps no more people cared about Curry's words, and even now, not many people remember what Curry once said.
However, for Jin Feng, he knew this, before the game with the Warriors began, Jin Feng had hid in the video room to study the game footage of some of the Warriors' players, and even other aspects, including the style of play.
Now, Jin Feng can clearly feel that Stephen Curry, the top point guard who seems to have been underrated all the time, is quietly changing...... This change made Jin Feng sweat coldly......
