NBA super small ball center

Seeing that the Nuggets' defense was completely unable to limit the Warriors' interior and outside offense, Nuggets coach Malone also smiled bitterly.

The Nuggets attacked, Moodier dribbled to the outside again, and Jokic took the right corner this time.

Immediately afterward, Moodier passed the ball to Jokic.

Wang Lang still stood in the bottom corner to defend.

Farid and Gary Harris had a pick-and-roll, Gary Harris was still standing outside the three-point line, but had been given space to shoot, in desperation, Barnes could only switch defenses, while Thompson switched to Farid, Farid rushed to the basket to catch the ball, and attacked the basket again.

Jokic's pass timing was also good, allowing Farid to face Thompson alone for a layup.

The ball was scored again, and Thompson's athleticism was not superior to Faried. Unable to effectively prevent the opponent from scoring.

The Warriors are 5-5 tied at the scoreline.

Amid the shouts of the Warriors fans, Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt.

Curry still ran directly after the block and came to the top of the arc on the right side.

Wang Lang quickly passed to Curry.

This time Moodier followed up closely, and Farid also stepped up to form a trap on Curry from the outside.

Wang Lang also ran outside the penalty area.

Curry handed a long pass to Wang Lang.

Wang Lang received the ball with his back to the basket, turned around first and made a shooting action, which made Jokic pounce and dare not slack off.

Wang Lang jumped high at this time, switched hands in the air to make a layup, avoided the defense, switched from left hand to right hand, and scored easily.

The Warriors are 7-5 and have another two-point lead.

Wang Lang also got 4 points and 1 assist in the opening game.

In the next round, Wang Lang received the ball outside the penalty area again and again, attacked inside, and tried his best to score in front of Jokic, completely breaking Jokic.

When the opponent's defensive resources are poured on Wang Lang, Wang Lang will decisively pass the ball to Curry, and let Curry go one-on-one on the outside, either shooting from the middle distance or shooting quickly with three points.

Curry also scored another 10 points, which was extremely easy, making 2 three-pointers and 2 mid-range, allowing Wang Lang to add 4 assists.

Wang Lang also scored 12 points on the inside, hitting all 6 shots.

He also added six rebounds, three of which were offensive rebounds that Wang grabbed when Curry missed a shot.

That gave Curry several more opportunities to continue scoring.

After Wang Lang grabbed the backcourt rebounds three times, he did not rush to launch a counterattack, but slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, carried out positional warfare offense, maintained the physical strength of the Warriors, and waited for the third quarter to strengthen the offense.

By the end of the first quarter, Wang Lang had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

On the other hand, Jokic also had a good hand in the first quarter, hitting 3 of 6 three-pointers and scoring 9 points, reaching a high shooting percentage.

The Nuggets also scored multiple inside points under Jokic's passing, scoring eight points.

By the end of the first quarter, the Warriors had a seven-point lead at 29-22.

Although the difference in points is not large, it clearly shows the completely different offensive states of the two sides.

The Nuggets didn't let the score gap be too big, but they relied heavily on their outside three-point touch, and Jokic's shooting was already good, hitting four three-pointers in the first quarter, but still couldn't take the lead.

And after the Nuggets opened up the interior space, they also let the likes of Farid and Gary Harris score under the basket.

It also drains their physical energy.

Although Wang Lang constantly runs and defends between the outside and the inside, trying every means to prevent the opponent from scoring, the effect is average, but fortunately, he is full of energy and full speed, which makes the opponent's attack more tired.

Especially those who ran to the inside and then passed the ball, Farid and others were gasping for breath.

In the live broadcast room, Reggie Miller analyzed with wide eyes: "As I guessed, Jokic made 7 three-pointers and hit 4, which is perfect." The Nuggets also took advantage of Jokic's offensive space to make multiple inside layups.

"They played well offensively, but the scoring was still suppressed by the Warriors and they didn't take the lead.

O'Neal nodded: "That's right, the Warriors mainly focus on interior offense, allowing Wang Lang to face Jokic alone again and again, and Jokic's lack of interior defense is also obvious, allowing Wang Lang to score 16 points." "

It can be said that Jokic was blown up by Wang Lang, and once the Nuggets poured resources into interior defense, Wang Lang will give the ball to Curry and let Curry play alone on the outside.

"Neither Moodier nor Farid can defend Curry alone, so they can only adopt a trap strategy, so that the Warriors' interior and outside offense are combined and invincible.

Reggie Miller asked, "But I didn't see the familiar quick counterattack, and the Warriors were clearly conserving their energy in this game."

O'Neill smiled: "That's natural, they just played a game yesterday, their physical energy is depleted, even at home, it's back-to-back games, it's impossible to attack with all their strength and speed up at the beginning."

"My guess is that they're going to step up their counter speed in the third quarter and take away the win, which is the perfect fit.

Reggie Miller gave a thumbs up: "You really know the Warriors' tactics inside out.

O'Neal patted his chest and said proudly: "Curry is one of the greatest players, there are guys like this in the Warriors, can I not know them? and Wang Lang, he is the greatest center after me and Duncan." "

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides switched to the bench for the game.

Wang Lang also sat on the sidelines, drinking free Coke and enjoying a relaxing moment.

The Warriors' bench lineup played well at home, scoring consistently and defensively.

Bogut, in particular, gave the Nuggets players three big caps to cover the interior.

But Bogut also got two fouls for his big defensive moves.

The good thing is that he is a substitute and there is no big problem.

Barbossa and Livingston also performed well, combining to score 12 points.

The Nuggets' bench performance was very average, scoring only 9 points, less than the Warriors, and they were blocked by Bogut many times, and their momentum was also affected.

Three of their few points were from the free-throw line.

With seven minutes left in the second quarter, the main players of both sides came on.

The Warriors are 41-31, leading the Nuggets by 10 points.

Such a point difference is also very satisfying for Warriors fans.

At this time, the Warriors were still in the starting lineup and did not replace Iguodala.

And the Nuggets are also starters.

The Nuggets attacked, and Moodier dribbled to the perimeter.

Jokic came to the top of the arc to receive the ball this time.

Wang Lang also followed Jokic and defended at the top of the arc.

Farid and Gallinari made a pick-and-roll.

The pick-and-roll allowed Green's defensive position to be blocked, and Gallinari was given space to shoot.

Barnes hurriedly switched defenses and prevented Gallinari from shooting a three-pointer.

Faried was also defended by Green and rushed to the basket.

Jokic made a quick pass to Gallinari.

Gallinari also ignored the defense, took advantage of his height, and made a strong shot against Barnes and hit a three-point shot.

The Warriors are 41-34, and the margin is back to seven points.

Seeing that Gallinari suddenly felt online, Wang Lang also frowned, knowing that the first half of the game would be more intense.
