Chapter 440 Changes in Mentality
The Warriors' power at the beginning caught the Nuggets off guard.
After they realized that, under the leadership of Xiang Chu, they gradually returned to normal.
But I didn't expect that because of the performance of the Warriors role player, Curry found an opportunity after playing in the second quarter, and scored 15 points in a single quarter, expanding his lead again.
Originally, the Nuggets had a very strict defense against Curry, but the Warriors opened other points, and the Nuggets were also defending Curry's pass. After all, Curry is not a simple shooter.
But Curry took the opportunity to burst out his scoring ability, and the Nuggets also missed the other.
There is no way, the disadvantaged side is always defending, and basketball is a game where the offensive side has the advantage.
During the intermission, the Nuggets were ashamed. Xiang Chu's reminder was still in his ears, but there was still a problem. Now someone is going to be led by the nose.
In the second half, the Nuggets' offense returned to normal, but it was very difficult to catch up with points.
The Warriors players' touch has been revealed, and no matter how they defend, they will have problems.
Curry also showed his strength as a superstar, and his scoring and passing the Nuggets can only defend against it.
Green, Clay, and Iguodala all performed well. Curry's performance was like an artist on the field, elegant and irrational, and he could only be amazed afterwards.
By the end of the quarter, the Nuggets still failed to catch up with the score, and the gap between the two sides was still in double digits.
As the game entered the last three minutes, George Carl replaced the substitute, the Nuggets admitted defeat, and the total score of the series also became 2:1.
Xiang Chu said in an interview after the game, "The Warriors are a very good team, especially in their home games. They successfully defeated us, and they definitely want to do it again or a few times. The only thing we can do is fight and give our all!"
When the reporter asked Curry, Xiang Chu said domineeringly: "Curry performed very patiently. When he found the offensive feeling, he couldn't stop it. However, I am the scoring leader of this season. No matter how outstanding he performs in the next game, I will win the game."
When Xiang Chu is aggressive, he is also the time to force himself.
You must do what you say, and to do it, you must perform better on the field.
Curry knew Xiang Chu's declaration and said: "I know he is a strong player, but the series has just begun. I believe our team, we have the strength to win the game. We entered the Western Conference Finals for the first time, and now we are fully accustomed to it."
Losing a game is nothing, the key is not to repeat the same mistakes.
George Carl has experienced many similar times, and he was very calm after the game. "We have not changed any attitude towards the next game. We have to play one game after another just like before and then win the victory."
Relatively speaking, this victory made Cole much easier and he talked a lot.
"One of the things I believe about this team is that these guys care a lot about winning and they care about each other, so they can make sacrifices. Maybe they sacrifice their scores, maybe the number of shots, maybe the playing time, but every player in the team's roster can show that sacrifice."
"Stephen is a very special player, someone like him who can ignite your passion when you need it most, and he has been doing this."
"The beauty of Stephen is that he is him, he is both taciturn and eager to win, he is both modest and arrogant. He is a wonderful combination of confidence and modesty. You can find this on the court, and it is really interesting to see him play. He has had such out-of-control moments, such as overdrafting or something, but then he will immediately return to the right track and understand what the team needs to be in and what he personally needs to do."
"I think we have a good opportunity. After all, we have played two games at the opponent's home court before and we also have a chance to win. As long as we play in the right way and don't let our opponents play an offensive climax, I think we have a chance to win."
This loss may not be a bad thing. Now it's just the Western Conference Finals, not the Finals. They didn't lose a few games. The Nuggets' players' attitudes after the game have become more positive, which is beneficial to them.
When I defended my title in the last two steps, I was most afraid of failure because of my carelessness.
Xiang Chu believes that with this lesson, their next game will be better.
After the Nuggets lost, the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference still did not give him a chance to play.
The Hawks actually played well in this game. They fought harder when they went away. Teague played at a true All-Star level.
But the Cavaliers finally forced the score to overtime, and James scored 5 points in a row and closed the game.
Teague scored 30 points in this game, but James scored 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. He also had 3 steals, and these four data were the highest in the game. It can be said that he snatched the victory from the opponent.
It can be said that superstars are really different on the field, and the data can fully reflect their abilities.
Xiang Chu and Curry often have the highest numbers in several items, but the aspects that everyone is good at are slightly different.
After losing the game, Xiang Chu was the one who comforted others.
After talking to Olivia, this guy happily posted on social media.
On the video call, the little guy was sleeping on the sofa.
Xiang Chu felt that his son looked more and more like him, inherited his strengths, and would be more handsome than him when he grew up, which was completely different from his wrinkled appearance when he was born.
Seeing her family, Xiang Chu's heart also became warm.
He now has more motivation to win and share glory with his family.
The fourth game was played at the Warriors' home court. After the opponent won one, the morale also rose. He hoped to win the score at home.
Xiang Jianzhong was wearing Xiang Chu's jersey and sat in the Warriors' stadium, which was particularly conspicuous.
He has always been a fan of the Warriors, and Xiang Chu became a fan of Xiang Chu after he entered the league.
However, he usually watches football with the Warriors. He is a dual fan identity and knows many old fans, so there will be no problems.
The starting lineups of both teams will not change, but the momentum will change a little.
The Warriors have stronger confidence, but they did not expect the Nuggets to explode at the beginning.
The Nuggets' outside players were all angry, and they all showed their strength since Garlinari made the first shot.
Everyone feels good, and the Nuggets may not have had this situation a few times in a season, but now it appears in the Western Conference Finals.
Garlinari, Middleton, Knight, Fournier all hit 3 points in the first quarter.
