Chapter 62: Without Lin Fei, he was still violent
Although the Warriors didn't count it, the Mavericks didn't count it in their hearts, and this season, the Mavericks' record didn't rank in the top four in the West. If you are in the playoffs like this, you don't even have a home-court advantage, in the playoffs last season, you have a home-court advantage, and the Warriors can't have much of an advantage, they are all narrow wins, and Lin Fei missed a few games in the games that the Warriors lost, the Warriors are soaring, and the Mavericks are down, which is an indisputable fact. Lin Fei's possible absence may be a good thing for the Mavericks, but it is undoubtedly not good for the team to make adjustments.
The Christmas game, the Golden State with heavy makeup is extraordinarily enchanting, it was originally a time for family gatherings, but it was slightly postponed because of the Warriors' game, and the Warriors' home court was still full.
Fans eagerly cheered the Warriors players on, and the Mavericks were given endless insults as a way to show their love for their team.
Before the game, the Warriors lineup was revealed, Lin Fei did not enter the injury list, but on the bench, you know, now he still has a plaster on his feet, it is impossible to play, but this is a privileged player, I don't want to enter the injury list, don't throw me into the injury list.
Curry is on top of Lin Fei's starting point guard and Keynes partner, in fact, the time of these two people will not be much less than the time of Lin Fei and Keynes, after all, to be honest, Curry is a "pseudo" substitute, looking for the current situation, this year's Warriors may be the best sixth man, because Curry is playing as a substitute this year, and his data is a good affirmation of his contribution, just like Lin Fei last year. Last year, Lin Fei came off the bench, almost all of them could contribute 30 points, creating a lot of miracles, and Curry's current data of 14 points + 7 assists + 4 rebounds is also a miracle on the bench.
The Mavericks still use Kidd, a veteran point guard in his 40s, who is almost one of the oldest starters in NBA history, and although he has problems running, he can still assist more than seven and hit more than one three-pointer per game. The rest of the lineup is still the old lineup of Nowitzki, Marion, Chandler, and Barria.
The game began with the fans cheering, the Warriors took the lead in gaining possession, and Curry launched a fast break directly with the ball. Curry hasn't felt like a starter for a long time, and today it seems that he is working extra hard, and he actually passed Kidd directly and easily when he was parallel to Kidd. Curry's pass is also a sight to behold, Curry's play seems to be gradually absorbing Lin Fei's advantages, originally before Lin Fei's rise, Curry was already considered the league's top five three-point shooters, even if Curry lost enough playing time because of Lin Fei's start, but he was able to hit nearly 2 three-pointers per game, although it can't be compared with Lin Fei's average of seven or eight per game, but he can hit 2 three-pointers per game, and ensures a three-point shooting rate of nearly 44%, which is definitely the top in the league. Now that Lin Fei is injured, Curry has brought more opportunities and ball possession, I don't know if this guy can grasp the opportunity and play at his highest level.
After passing Kidd, Curry went directly to the three-point line, and the Warriors are all participating in the fast break, so to speak, it is absolutely impossible for the other 29 teams in the league to directly convert the ball obtained from this scrum into a fast break, but the Warriors can, because the five people on their court are all good players who can participate in the fast break, can dribble, and can shoot. Curry easily reached the predetermined three-point line, and before Kidd could catch up, the rest of the Mavericks players were also unable to make up for it, and Curry jumped up decisively.
Curry's ball is a little slower than Lin Fei's, but the shot point seems to be a little higher, and the arc of the ball thrown out is relatively gentle, and Curry's ball is not as soft as the ball thrown by Lin Fei, and it looks more fierce. Curry's shot felt like a shot put, slamming into the basket.
Curry's ball shocked the Mavericks players, and in the playoffs last season, Lin Fei's super-godlike performance is still vivid, and now the rest of the Warriors players have such a three-point effort, how to deal with it?
In the Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki used the golden rooster dúlì with the symbol xìng to complete a beautiful attack.
However, the Mavericks' ball just landed in the basket, the Warriors kicked off directly after receiving the ball, Curry ran quickly when he received the ball, Cairns and Aix ran forward quickly, echoing in front of Curry, both of them were prepared for the Mavericks' defense in time, at this time Clauderson and Jobs were also running rapidly behind, at this time the Warriors were a five-person joint fast attack, this offensive formation was almost insoluble when the speed was fast, Aix and Cairns were like rabbits and went directly into the restricted area, The Mavericks players are a little panicked, who will Curry pass the ball to? All three of them blocked Curry's passing lanes to Irons and Aix, perhaps because these two people gave the impression that they were paired with a point guard, and their fast-break ability is rare in the world!
When Curry dribbled to the three-point line, Kidd hurriedly came over to defend at this time, half a step away from Curry, and tried to let go of a certain amount of space, so that Curry did not have the space to break through easily, but when Kidd just arrived at the position, Curry's ball had already been shot, and Kidd jumped up frantically to plan the cap, but the ball in Curry's hand was obviously not a shot, because it was sideways, Lin Fei directly gave Jobs who followed up and ran on the left, Jobs received the ball, and passed it directly to Clauderson, and Clauderson passed to Curry during the run. At this time, Ax and Cairns dispersed in the penalty area, wandered the bottom line, the ball completed a triangle operation, and then returned to Curry's hands again, the opportunity came, Curry stuffed the ball directly to Aix on the bottom line, Aix received the ball and stepped on the three-point line to make a decisive shot, hit. At this point, the Mavericks players on the court didn't even know where the basketball was. The Warriors' passing is truly dazzling and incredible.
At this time, the Warriors' interpretation is refreshing again, and suddenly the fans found that they have long been accustomed to Lin Feifeng's speed, missile-like accurate shooting, super breakthrough and shooting ability, and then taste the Warriors' impeccable cooperation and team combat, it is really a pleasure, and it is hard to believe that when Lin Fei is there, he can interpret the offensive talent of a single player to the fullest, and when he is not there, he can interpret the team battle vividly, which can really be said to be the best work in offense. Only a master tactician like Nelson can perform it.
Lin Fei is also happy to watch! But this guy thinks further, if it was himself just now, he would definitely get rid of Kidd when he was facing Kidd, and then he would shoot, but it seems that his style of play is more physically demanding, and it is not the fastest way to complete the offense, is it not his own possession of the ball, so that his players can't show the power of the team at all, and when Curry is on the court, everything is so easy, when Lin Fei started before, Watching Curry play doesn't have a deep feeling at this moment, he can't play, and he sees it so clearly. Do you have to weigh what works better for the team?
