Chapter 16 No Accident
Although the media has become accustomed to the Warriors' victory, the Warriors' clean and tidy takeout of the Spurs will still be a hot topic in the city.
Keynes's performance reminds us of a template for him, and that is Maddy, the highest-paid player who is worth signing. and Curry, the new head coach seems to have a plan, that is, to make Curry another Nash, 8 assists in a single quarter, 13 assists in a quarter and a half games, and only the Suns can be compared to the promotion at their peak.
For the transformation of the Warriors, compared to D'Antoni, it still took a lot of thought. Compared with the Suns he coached, the Warriors are more flexible, faster, and each player's autonomy is quite strong, however, the Warriors lack the intensity of internal confrontation, the Warriors do not have explosive wing players like Xiao Si and Marion, and although Jobs and Aix are not inferior to Xiao Si and Marion in offensive ability, their physical fitness and confrontation ability, as well as defense, are a little worse. So D'Antoni arranged for Aix to indent a little inside, and Keynes also indulged a little bit to make up for the lack of defensive intensity. At the same time, D'Antoni can transform Curry into a playmaker and Keynes into a scoring guard, and the division of labor is more clear. This is a little different from what Nelson emphasized, and as for the outcome of the transformation, it seems difficult to see from one game to another, but it is certain that Curry's assists will increase and his scoring will decrease, while Keynes may be the opposite.
At the same time, there is another question that many people have also questioned, that is, such a Warriors team has made all opponents fearful and the offense is so smooth, but what will happen if Lin Fei joins such a lineup? From D'Antoni's subtle transformation of the Warriors, it can be seen that D'Antoni is obviously emphasizing the organizational role of the point guard, and the team emphasizes fluency, no longer the speed that Nelson has been emphasizing. When Nelson was absent before, the acting coach was actually trying to use other ways of playing, but in the end, it turned out that Nelson's style of play is the most suitable for the current lineup, but the current Warriors are different, D'Antoni has his own systematic tactical concept, and the attack power is also quite strong, from the current point of view, his compatibility with Nielsen's Warriors is still relatively high, if Lin Fei returns, will he be redundant?
At least from D'Antoni's words, you will know that he is still quite looking forward to Lin Fei, and perhaps in D'Antoni's heart, he already has a good plan for Lin Fei's return.
Compared to the excitement of the Golden State media, some of the media in other cities can even be called panicked. What kind of team is this, losing Nelson, they still have D'Antoni, Lin Fei is out, Keynes, Curry is going crazy at the peak again, it's not terrible for a team to have such a group of players, it's scary that the Warriors have such a tactic, and every player has room to play to it.
After learning about this game, some celebrities even went crazy. It's rare in the league that so many people pay that attention to a preseason game.
'Keynes Kannes has the qualities of a dominant player. Magicians knew about Keynes's performance, and so much so. You must know that for his own reasons, Magician especially likes those more versatile players, Keynes is one of them, and Magic's preference for him is even stronger than his love for Lin Fei.
"Curry will probably be even better than Nash when he is fully released." O'Neill put it this way. The shark had a point, as he had worked with Nash, but it didn't work out much. …,
Although most of the time, the statements of those celebrities are a bit unreliable, you can never ignore their words, because you don't know which of their words is true, and if it is, the final result may shock the league.
The second game of the preseason is against the Spurs, the fiasco of the first game, Popovich did not dare to have any contempt, originally intended to let GDP miss the preseason, this time let Parker come back to practice in advance, and it is just a good test of the real strength of the Warriors, you know, in the past ten years, the Spurs have almost been running for the championship every season, and they have won 4 of them. The reason why they sent Parker may also be to use the Warriors as a potential opponent as their imaginary enemy.
Now, there are definitely people in the preseason game. In the first game, the combination of Curry and Keynes can be said to be omnipotent, and now Curry has Parker's counterpoint, and he may be able to spark a spark. Parker's playmaking and offensive ability are not below Curry, except that his long-range shooting is slightly worse than Curry's. But Curry has Keynes as a guard lineman, which is definitely out of reach for Parker.
At the beginning, Parker showed a side against the sky, Parker, nicknamed "French sports car", broke through extremely sharp, Curry couldn't defend at all, even if the Warriors had Keynes's supplemental defense, but Parker still gave up, cut points in a row, and scored 12 points in the first quarter. On the other hand, Curry only had 2 assists in the half, which was much dimmer compared to the previous game, but Keynes was still very stable, and he also scored 8 points in the half. However, the Warriors still led by 6 points in the first quarter, which was acceptable to the Spurs.
In the second half of the first quarter, both teams also replaced the main lineups. After all, it's pre-season!
It's just like that, and the gap is already there. The Warriors lineup led by Keynes stretched the score to 16 points at once! The Spurs had no way to fight back, so they had to replace Parker again, so as not to make the second half of the game lose suspense again.
But Parker isn't omnipotent after all. Even in the first half, the French sports car was able to score a sky-high 26 points, but it was difficult to save the Spurs' decline. The Warriors scored 78 points again in the first half, if the Warriors scored 85 points in the last game, it was accidental, but this time the 78 points had to make everyone start to face up to this terrifying team.
Even with Parker, the Spurs are still powerless, and most of the time they are on the bench, the Warriors are really ruthless.
In this situation, D'Antoni's Warriors seem to be more offensive than Nelson's. Of course, the problem of the intensity of confrontation in the preseason cannot be ruled out, but both games were able to score nearly 80 points in the half and 150 points in the whole game, which no team in the history of the league can easily do, even Nielsen's Warriors, there is no absolute certainty.
Could it be that the Warriors are really strong enough under D'Antoni?
