Chapter 440 Changes in Mentality
The Warriors' aggressive start caught the Nuggets by surprise.
After they reacted, they gradually returned to normal under Xiang Chu's leadership.
It's just that I didn't expect that because of the performance of the Warriors' role players, Curry found an opportunity after playing in the second quarter, and scored 15 points in a single quarter, expanding the lead again.
Originally, the Nuggets defended Curry very tightly, but the Warriors opened up other points, and the Nuggets were also defending Curry's passes. After all, Curry is not a pure shooter.
Unexpectedly, Curry took the opportunity to explode his scoring ability, and the Nuggets also missed the other.
There's no way around that, the underdog is always on defense, and basketball is a game where the offense has the upper hand.
During the intermission, the Nuggets were ashamed. Xiang Chu's reminder was still in his ears, but something went wrong, and now he was being led away by the nose.
The Nuggets' offense returned to normal in the second half, but it was very difficult to chase points.
The feel of the Warriors players has come out, and they will have problems no matter how they defend.
And Curry also showed his strength as a superstar, scoring and passing the Nuggets can only defend the same.
When Green, Klay, and Iguodala all performed well, Curry's performance was like an artist on the court, elegant and elusive, only to be amazed afterwards.
By the end of the quarter, the Nuggets still hadn't caught up with the score, and the gap between the two sides was still in double digits.
When the game entered the last 3 minutes, George Karl replaced the substitute, the Nuggets conceded, and the total score of the series became 2:1.
After the game, Xiang Chu said in an interview, "The Warriors are a very good team, especially in their home games. They beat us successfully. They definitely want to come again or several times. The only thing we can do The only thing to do is to fight and go all out!"
When the reporter asked Curry, Xiang Chu said domineeringly: "Curry is very patient. When he finds the offensive feeling, he is difficult to stop. However, I am the scoring leader this season, regardless of his next game. No matter how good the performance is, I will win the game."
When Xiang Chu is aggressive, it is also the time to push himself.
What is said must be done, and to be done, you must perform better on the court.
After knowing Xiang Chu's declaration, Curry said: "I know he is a strong player, but this series has just begun. I believe in our team. We have the strength to win the game. We entered the Western Conference Finals for the first time. , and now we have fully adapted.”
Losing a game is nothing, the key is not to repeat the same mistakes.
George Karl has experienced many similar times, and he was very calm after the game, "Our attitude towards the next game has not changed at all, just like before, we have to play one game at a time, and then win .”
Relatively speaking, this victory made Cole a lot easier, and he also talked a lot.
"One of the things that I believe about this team is that these guys really care about winning and they care about each other so they make sacrifices. Maybe it's their scoring, maybe it's their shots, maybe it's playing Time, but every player on the roster can show that sacrifice."
"Stephen is a special player, a guy like him who can ignite your fire when you need it most, and he has always done that."
"The beauty of Steph is that he is him, he's quiet and competitive, he's humble and arrogant. Interesting. He’s got those moments where he’s out of control, like over-dribbling or something, but then he’s right back on track and understands where the team needs to be and what he needs to do personally.”
"I think we have a good chance. After all, we have played two games at the opponent's home court before, and we both have a chance to win. As long as we play the right way and don't let the opponent play an offensive climax, I think we have a chance to win. .”
This loss may not be a bad thing. Now it is only the Western Conference Finals, not the Finals. It is not that they have lost a few games. The Nuggets players have become more correct after the game, which is beneficial to them.
At the last two steps of defending the title, I am most afraid of failing because of my own carelessness.
Xiang Chu believes that after learning this lesson, they will play better in the next game.
After the Nuggets lost, the Cavaliers in the East still did not give their opponents a chance.
The Eagles actually played well this time, but they went even harder when they went to the away game. Teague played at a true All-Star level.
It's just that the Cavaliers finally forced the score to overtime, and James scored 5 points in a row at the last moment to close the game.
Teague scored 30 points in this game, but James scored 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. In addition, he also had 3 steals. These four statistics are the highest in the game, which can be said to be abrupt. The opponent grabbed the victory.
It can be said that superstars are really completely different on the field, and the data can fully reflect their abilities.
Xiang Chu and Curry are also often the highest in several statistics, but they are good at slightly different aspects.
After losing the game, Xiang Chu was on the side of comforting others.
After talking with Olivia, this guy happily posted on social media.
In the video call, the little guy was sleeping on the sofa.
Xiang Chu feels that his son is looking more and more like him, inheriting his advantages, and will be more handsome than him when he grows up, completely different from the wrinkled appearance when he was born.
Seeing his family, Xiang Chu's heart warmed up.
After winning the victory and sharing the glory with his family, he now has more motivation.
The fourth game was still played at the home court of the Warriors. After the opponent won a game, their morale also rose, and they hoped to get back the score at home.
Xiang Jianzhong was wearing Xiang Chu's jersey, sitting in the Warriors' arena, which was particularly conspicuous.
He has always been a fan of the Warriors, and Xiang Chu only became a fan of Xiang Chu after he entered the league.
However, he usually also watches games with the Warriors. He is a dual fan and knows many old fans, so there will be no problems.
The starting lineups of the two teams will not change, but the momentum has changed.
The Warriors' confidence was stronger, but they didn't expect the Nuggets to explode at the beginning.
The Nuggets' outside players were all suffocating. Since Gallinari hit the first ball, they all showed their power.
Everyone feels good. The Nuggets may not have such a few times in a season, but now it has appeared in the Western Conference Finals.
Gallinari, Middleton, Knight, Fournier all hit 3-pointers in the first quarter.
On the Warriors' side, Clay didn't feel very good at the start, and Curry couldn't support himself, and was suddenly opened up by the Nuggets by a double-digit gap.
