“Draymond Green Suspended: Can the Warriors Overcome Their 0-2 Deficit in the 2023 NBA Playoffs?”

A controversial action in G2 caused Draymond Green to be suspended in G3, which is undoubtedly worse for the Warriors who have fallen behind by a big score of 0-2…

forward2War review: a deja vu process

Ime Udoka, how long has it been since you heard this name?

In G1, the way the Warriors defended the Kings was very similar to how the Celtics defended the Warriors in the finals of last season, blocking the system led by Draymond Green. The Warriors also successfully limited Sabonis’ personal performance and the performance of the Kings team this time.

However, I chose G4 for comparison because the same method was used, and the final loss was similar. The team with super ball holding ability and the big heart of Clutch Time reversed. The Warriors won last year. This time Fox and Monk also jumped out. crack.

And G2 is very similar to the championship game G5. The Celtics double-teamed Curry in this game, which made the Warriors system move. Similarly, the Warriors put more restrictions on the ball holder this time. Fox The scoring with Monk was not so explosive, but Keegan Murray and other shooters who didn’t play well in the game made some gains in this game, and Sabonis personally said goodbye to the downturn in the first game. The two teams in the same way just happened to lose in the end! History is always amazing coincidences.

Mistakes

The more experienced Warriors made too many turnovers in the 2 games. First, the opponent Mike Brown is familiar with the Warriors system and has a good grasp of the passing line. Especially the Warriors also have many tactics. The Kings have also played a few times. , Knowing ourselves and the enemy, the G2 Warriors made more than 20 turnovers.

However, how many balls were stolen inexplicably when they were still in their hands, and then the ball was conceded by the first line of pressure, allowing the Kings to easily score points without defense?

Or at the beginning of G1, it is obvious that they lack stability, pass randomly when they are oppressed, and the ball is also easily stolen by the king if the ball is too long. It is possible to miss more than 20 times.

This kind of performance can be expected if it is the first time in the playoffs, but this is the Warriors who have 4 championships and are seeking to defend their title. If Poole makes a mistake, maybe everyone will be used to it, but if it happens to Curry or Green. Low-level mistakes, what else is there to say? How can we talk about the theory of rich experience and rolling?

If returning to the home court can’t reduce the occurrence of such a situation, then in this round of the series, the chances of the Kings sweeping 4-0 are really not small.

G3What adjustments should I make?

From the current point of view, the effect of G2 is relatively poor, because both Fox and Monk are still playing at a high level, allowing other players to integrate into it, so if there is no surprise, the Warriors will defend in a way similar to G1.

Judging from the rotation lineup, in the case of Draymond Green being suspended, although Kuminga did not perform well in the game, he should still eat up 20-25 minutes of playing time in this game. Wiggins is no surprise that he will play No. 4, so DiVincenzo has the opportunity to get more playing time, and even because Looney is going to start, considering space issues, DiVincenzo does not rule out the possibility of returning to the starting lineup.

As for JaMychal Green should be unfreezing, 15-20 minutes of playing time should not be too surprising. In theory, Kuminga will play POA, so JaMychal Green should have a lot of playing time, shared with Looney, Moody will have to look at Poole The situation is over. After all, his condition in the last game was not good, and his playing time was also greatly reduced. It should have a lot to do with the foot injury in G1. With the king increasing the pick-and-roll ratio and reducing hand-offs, Moody’s off-ball defense is not bad. If you pass the test, you may be able to win playing time.

Fortunately, in this round of the series, Looney’s defense against Sabonis is not bad, reducing the loss of Green’s absence. As for the offensive end, the Warriors should also increase the proportion of ball-holding pick-and-rolls. Poole’s status will therefore be quite critical. He and Curry are The only player who can tear apart the opponent’s defense line through the pick-and-roll, Curry can be expected to score very high in the next game, but it will be a tragic defeat, or a strong lead to win. Can other players make up for Green’s vacancy, and go further in the game? Helping Curry play in other aspects will be the key to whether the G3 Warriors can win.

For the Warriors, G3 is also equivalent to a last stand. The home game with a winning rate of more than 80% in the whole season also loses, especially in the face of a large score behind. If you lose again, it will be an absolute disadvantage of 0 to 3. This round of the series will come back. , the difficulty is also very high.

Warriors come on, don’t give up hope!
