to the second verse.

What the commentators say is not without reason.

Lillard, who entered the bench lineup, faced the Warriors' lineup in the transition section, which was simply a wolf into the flock.

The Warriors went into the transition and relied more on Barbossa and Livingston for offense.

Although these two people are famous, their strength is not at their peak for a long time.

From the point of view of offense alone, Lillard is a superstar level, and there is no doubt that he is weaker than Curry with the same style of play.

can also be regarded as the second person in the league to hold the ball three-pointers.

Originally, Cole was still thinking about how to solve the problem that Curry was targeted by Box-1.

Now seeing Lillard's wide open and closed scores on the court, the Warriors' transition lineup simply can't withstand Lillard's offense.

Although the Clippers didn't let Jokic assist Lillard in the transition section, Capela is full of blue-collar attributes in terms of the single function of blocking and pick-and-roll.

Lillard doesn't have to think about having a lot of complicated cooperation with Jokic, that is, it is very simple to play with the ball and block three-pointers, and Capela will not be so complicated is to eat cake or grab the board.

Lillard is a productive player who gives the ball and is productive, and he's efficient.

Without being targeted as the number one star, Lillard can easily blast out high-yield and efficient statistics, and it is more than enough to carry the ball.

Such a prolific and efficient player, appearing on the bench to play the sixth man, is simply a super-touch existence.

Lillard's shortcomings are being demanded by the standard of the team's number one star.

When Lillard came in as the team's sixth man.

What kind of organizational skills are not excellent, the defense is just barely passing at the back, and the mid-range micro-maneuver is rough and so on.

These all turn into advantages.

Crawford, the best sixth man, is far worse than Lillard's organizational skills, and his defense is also a colander and is not as good as Lillard.

As for the middle-distance micro-gymnastics that look a little rough, if you look at it as a sixth person, it's simply a middle-distance master!

At the same time, the two offenses are not at the same level at all.

Crawford's singles are great, but it's not on a par with Lillard, the league's second-most ball-handling three-pointer.

And in the Warriors' transition period, there are obviously not enough defensive resources to target Lillard.

Lillard playing the sixth man is simply unstoppable for the Warriors.

If the Warriors had Iguodala, maybe they would be able to let Iguodala limit a little bit, just like George defended Curry to fight against.

However, the Warriors did not have Iguodala, and even entered the transition section with Richard Jefferson, a veteran forward.

He's still strong enough to top those breakouts, but he can't keep up with Lillard's speed.

Barbossa, Livingston also struggled to keep up with Lillard.

Besides, Barbosa was only fast when he was young, and his defense was also poor, let alone his current form.

Cole saw that the point difference continued to be widened, so he had no choice but to go to the main force early.

As soon as the main force of the Warriors came up, they barely managed to stabilize the situation and chased some points back.

However, the Warriors are not chasing points very quickly.

Su Chen didn't let all the main forces come back early, but let George come back.

Su Chen's task for George in this game is to follow Curry, and Curry goes up on George, and Curry goes down George.

George didn't have to take on too much offense in this game, and his energy was basically put into defense.

And the defense of the benches is not bad.

Kyle Anderson is still a rookie, but he has a high ball IQ and can play the role of Batum when he is a co-defender.

Grant is also tall and can play the role of Jeff Green and continue to put pressure on Curry.

Some points were recovered, naturally because they weren't as mature as the starting lineup, allowing Thompson to find some opportunities.

However, Su Chen thinks it's okay to chase points.

Continue to let the starting lineup conserve physical strength, after all, this game is a high-intensity confrontation, and there is enough rest to have a better performance.

Su Chen took time to make a substitution, ensuring that the main force had a very sufficient physical strength.

The Clippers, who got more time off, started and faced the Warriors with a more pressing defense.

Cole's early substitution temporarily stabilized the situation and chased the point.

However, under the physical exertion of such a high-intensity confrontation, the main force played a large number of games without rest, and there was still an intensity that slowly failed to keep up with the Clippers.

By the end of the third quarter, the margin remained at 20 points.

Warriors 71: 91 Clippers.

Cole, who was on the sidelines, looked a little irritable.

It's not like he hasn't thought of a way to play this game.

But every time he thought of some strategies to crack Box-1, many of them would be guessed by Su Chen.

The tactics were guessed, so naturally it had no effect, but because the landing point was guessed, the Clippers played some conversion offense.

At the same time, the difference in physical strength between the players of the two sides became obvious in the next quarter.

The Clippers are still actively looking for confrontation with the Warriors.

Thompson is already very tired at this time, because he often has to play the role of the Warriors' game-breaker, and the Clippers don't necessarily have to play Curry every time they have the opportunity to play Thompson.

Thompson's defense is still quite good, but playing Thompson is not to score, it is purely to exert Thompson's physical strength.

Thompson, who was arranged by Kerr to not rest much, had to run frequently on the offensive end to get rid of the opponent, and on the defensive end, he had to deal with the opponent's offense.

It made Thompson choke on exhaustion.

Some balls are shot, and the shooting posture is not very standard.

Cole on the sidelines knew there was nothing to blame for because he had kept his main players on the pitch for too long and the intensity of the game was still so high.

But he didn't dare to let the Warriors' bench face the Clippers' bench.

I have to say that after Lillard went to play on the bench, the Clippers' offense simply continued to maintain a high level, and it was not something that the bench could cope with at all.

The suspense of the game has also gradually decreased.

With two points left in the game, Kerr switched to a third team.

The main team of the Warriors was too tired in this game, and this was only the first game of the series, and Kerr chose to protect the players when he saw this score.

Not to mention that the Warriors are tired, even the main Clippers who are almost enjoying the time to rest in this game are also very tired.

Due to the high-intensity defense that has to be given to the Warriors all the way, the Clippers' rotation defense is very fast.

After Jeff Green wrapped up Curry, he was about to return to a rotational defensive position, and he couldn't get too far away from Curry, and if Curry got the ball, he would immediately have to wrap it up.

Rondo was the main task of chasing down Thompson, and Batum, although he often looked at the defensive area was not very large, but he was constantly watching the movement and draining a lot of energy.

If it's a little easier, it's Jokic.

Jokic, as the object of protection for this defensive lineup, is often defending the bottom corner of the three-point point, although he still has to look at the basket, but it is much easier than others.

The most tired is George.

No matter how strong the other main forces are, it is also a time to rest.

He's not the same, he's been staring at Curry the whole time.

Even when Curry got off the bench, he had to follow, and he watched Curry sit down before going back.
