The Spurs returned home and won 113-100 in the third game, leading 2-1 on the total score.
Coach Popovich made adjustments to the warriors' playing style, allowing players to guard against three-point shots and guards' breakthrough, and put in the middle shot. They would rather be killed by the opponent's mid range shot than by the warriors outside the three-point line.
Warriors players are all in the same year, the overall running distance is a quarter more than the Spurs, but their shooting choice is a little simple, inexperienced.
Under the leadership of GDP combination, the Spurs' tactical quality and cooperation consciousness are better. They shoot 12% more open positions than warriors, which is the key to win.
Curry was completely lost. He made 7 of 18 shots, 0 of 7 of 3-pointer, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. His shooting percentage was only 38.9%. Tony Parker made 11 of 17 shots, 2 of 3-point shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 28 points and 7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 64.7%.
Game four continues at Spurs home.
Curry had two consecutive downturns, five for 15, one for four from three, no free throws and 11 points and 10 assists. Parker made 7 of 13 shots, 4 out of 4 free throws, 18 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.
Parker's data was better than Curry's, but the Spurs lost, 111-114, 2-2.
Parker is not a single defense Curie, the Spurs side constantly in the three-point line outside the clip is the key, put igordala, green, Carroll and other role players to shoot.
Curie pulled in the bag and quickly shifted the ball, and the teammates threw it away.
Carroll played 24 minutes, 6-for-9, 2-2-3-pointer, 2-2-free throw, and 16 points. He used to be a defensive blue collar, the warriors played a very open formation, Carroll also began to play in the offensive end.
Reddick was out for 25 minutes, 6-for-9, 4-for-7 from 3-pointer, 4-out of 4-FREE throw, 20 points and 5 rebounds. He and curry formed a weakened version of the "water brothers" combination.
In the parallel world, someone always called him "system Reddick". As a matter of fact, it's a headache for the opposing coach to run around the screen without the ball like Reddick.
Warriors 6 scored double, spurs 5 scored double, are playing team basketball, stars do not mess. The Spurs lost to the obsessive wallets.
Although KULI's breakthrough ability is not as strong as Guo Xu, he imitates Guo Xu's playing style vividly. The Spurs were eliminated too many times by Guo Xu, including Popovich. When he saw that Curie was playing this way, he couldn't help but wrap up and was afraid that something would happen.
The fifth war started at the home of warriors. The two sides fought an extra time. The warriors laughed to the end, 115 to 111.
The Spurs' most scoring player was substitute Boris Dior, who went out for 36 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 from 6, 7 of 10 from 10 free throws, and got 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Dior's high-level play is very strange, is a flexible fat man, his super level play can not help the team to win a victory. He can play 36 minutes, mainly because of the Spurs lineup, veteran Duncan fight to the end of no physical strength.
Warriors players showed their physical advantages. The young Curie played for 48 minutes, making 18 of 35 shots, 6 out of 14 3-pointer shots, 2-2 free throws, and got 44 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. What's missing is that he made 6 mistakes.
Livingston also had a good performance, 29 minutes of substitute play, 6 out of 8, 6 out of 6 free throws, 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Spurs put the middle shot, the warriors let Livingston and Middleton two people play more, opponents are difficult to block, they are tall, arm length, high shooting point, easy to form dislocation. When they were in the Spurs' locker room, they had several vacancies.
Guo Xu was also a guest commentator in Auckland and enjoyed a wonderful competition. He had a chance to say a few words about Kuri. In this game, Curie looked really like his successor. He took a firm shot and made a three-point shot two meters away from the three-point line in the middle.
This game also laid a fatal danger for the Spurs, the veterans played too much time.
In the sixth game, Duncan made 6 of 14 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and got 19 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. He, a 38 year old veteran, was braver in rebounding than young Lopez, but his 42.9% shooting percentage was a bit miserable.
Lopez made 8-of-16 shots, 3-out of 7-3-pointer, 2-2-free throw, and got 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which was no worse than Duncan. He almost did not enter the forbidden area, occasionally cut one, mainly catching the ball outside, hit rate is good.
The Spurs were also out of line, making only three of 18 three-point shots. The number three break-up, Denny green, became an iron forest, 1-for-7.
Warriors no matter how the Spurs cover, change defense is particularly active, first defense three points and then manage the restricted area, to ensure a player in the vicinity of the forbidden area defense, empty split.
The Spurs replace split to let Matt Bonner, who can shoot three points, play, and defense will be much worse. Their athletic ability, height and arm exhibition are not of the same level.
Warriors inside veteran Scola is experienced, both in the forbidden area near the single anti Duncan, but also in the offensive end of the ball. He came on the bench 17 minutes, 5-for-6, 2-2 free throws, 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.Duncan has a height advantage against Scola, but he lost his accuracy in the middle distance, which is directly related to the physical decline.
Spurs management has done a lot of regret, when Scola was traded to the Rockets, it was absolutely able to rank in the top three. Scola's real shooting rate in the playoffs was only 50.5%, but it was more reliable than Monroe at critical moments.
Monroe needs to impact the basket to play, Scola screen after the catch shot accurate, can help teammates create opportunities, he is more suitable for the warriors' offensive system.
Monroe had previously rejected the warriors' early renewal, and the warriors offered him 10 million a year's salary. He felt that it was too little and wanted to test the free market in the summer. At present, judging by his performance in the playoffs, it is impossible to get a top salary contract.
Monroe belongs to the kind of player without characteristics, everything is general, the middle throw can occasionally show a vacancy, throw a few, can not practice a unique skill. He plays in the low post with average strength and no dominance. It's good for Monroe to be a role player. If a team gives him a big contract, he will regret it.
The warriors beat the Spurs 108-92 and advanced to the finals 4-2.
A day later in the Eastern Conference finals, the nets eliminated the Cavaliers 4-2 and entered the finals.
James scored 35 points in the series, and it's not easy for him to lead the team to win two games. Isaiah Thomas is the team's second meritorious hero, his series of games have scored 19 points and 6 assists, super level play, his breakthrough nets are not easy to defend.
The nets credit is the new arrival Nowitzki, he hung Boozer in position 4. When he first joined, many people said that he wanted to hold his thigh to win the championship, only to find that he was the "thigh" of the nets. He averaged 22.3 points per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 49.4%, a three-point shooting rate of 44.3% and a free throw of 92.9%.
Nowitzki can still make fouls alone this season, averaging 5.6 free throws per game. In the nets have star teammates as a partner, he played more comfortable than in the Mavericks, the opponent is not good to trap him, other people can not empty.
How many years has Nowitzki been trapped by the calf? Outside in addition to Jason Terry, there is no reliable teammates, Ariza, Kidd two people are later joined. Dampier, who can be free, has been playing Nowitzki for six years and wants to trade with no other team.
Now 36 year old Nowitzki finally realizes what it's like to play calmly. At the press conference, he felt a little sad, and suddenly felt that he wanted to be loyal to the Mavericks, and the goal of "one man, one city" was too stupid
