“The Warriors Fall to Kings in Game 2: Frequent Mistakes and Foul Troubles Lead to Defeat”

The Warriors, who lost Game 1 of the series, lost again on the road against the loud Light the Beam. However, if it was said that the last game was helpless against the explosion of both Fox and Monk, today it was more defeated by myself.

Game 1: What message did the Warriors lose in the first game when they were defeated by Fox?

Full strength, frequent mistakes

At the start of the game, the two teams directly raised their intensity to another level. Facing all moves without the ball, they were sticky and full, and entering the penalty area was full of collision. And the referees also paid for it at the beginning of the quarter. In the face of such high-intensity collisions, they seldom whistled.

You must know that both the Kings and the Warriors are teams that use a large number of off-ball systems to create gaps. Therefore, in high-intensity games, mistakes are inevitable. However, after the first quarter, both sides made 9 turnovers! This prevented both sides from scoring high points in the first quarter. In the end, at 23:17, the Warriors entered the second quarter with a six-point lead.

The Kings stabilized with a three-pointer, and the Warriors lost their lead

However, in the first quarter, whether it was Huerter, Barnes or Fox, the Kings actually got a lot of three-point gaps, but they made 0 of 11 shots. It wasn’t until Fox hit the first three-pointer of the field at a 45-degree angle on the right that the King’s offensive officially started.

In the second quarter, Monk, who scored 32 points from the bench in the last game, hit three three-pointers in a row at the beginning of the quarter. In addition to beating Kuminga down, he also helped the Kings regain the lead in an instant. And, it hasn’t fallen behind since.

Before the start of the series, it was generally believed that the second team of the Kings would be one of their weaknesses. After all, most of their substitute players have a single function. Unexpectedly, after the first two games, these role players have performed impeccably within their ability – Monk can always jump out to score points when the team needs it, Mitchell’s stable jumper makes the coaching staff willing to let go He was on the court, sticking Curry very well. Although Lyles didn’t contribute much today, but four three-pointers in a single game in the first game are also the key to preventing the Kings from being taken away by the Warriors.

On the other hand, for the Warriors, it doesn’t matter if they can’t defend in the second quarter, but they still make frequent mistakes on the offensive end. And I have to say that while Monk has played two consecutive high-quality performances, Poole’s trek has been eclipsed. Some cuts are too reluctant, which makes the wave of offense often stare: was Poole scored with his personal ability? Or is it a mistake?

In short, it took just over a minute in the second quarter to wipe out the lead and even fall behind. This is definitely the key twelve minutes for the Warriors to lose this battle.

Judgment scale tightened, falling into foul quagmire

Come to the third quarter of the Warriors foul explosion. Green immediately accumulated two fouls at the beginning of the quarter, forcing Kerr to replace him first. As everyone knows, the player who replaced Green was actually Moses Moody who had never played in this series! ? As a result, as soon as he stepped on the court, he immediately added two more fouls for the Kings… In this way, within two minutes of the third quarter, the Warriors were full of fouls.

Kerr’s scheduling must be questioned here. After all, no matter what angle you think about, it’s not Moody’s turn to play at this time! ? If you want three points, you can play DiVincenzo (by the way, he started the first game and only played 12 minutes today); if you want to defend, you can use GP2; if you think they are too short, you can also play in the second half of the season Kuminga who played brilliantly…… Anyway, Moody played at this juncture and didn’t see any effect at all.

Although the follow-up development will not make the game out of control, the more frequent whistle blowing in the third quarter also made the Warriors fall into a quagmire. After all, only Draymond and Looney are trustworthy in the Warriors’ restricted area defense, but when they both got into foul trouble and the King entered the penalty stage early, it did make the Warriors play more tightly in the subsequent rounds .

The green mouth was expelled from the field, and Curry was alone

Then, there is the “male plus male” of Draymond and Sabonis.

In all fairness, Green’s expulsion from the field really hurt the Warriors who were chasing points. You must know that at that time, the Warriors had narrowed the gap to two goals by relying on several successful defenses and goals. As soon as Green lost control, he was ejected for a flagrant second-degree foul.

Regarding this refereeing, I am indeed a little confused about Green’s punishment at the moment. After all, the reason why there is such a fierce collision is that Sabonis hugged his feet first. However, it must be said that this step on the chest was indeed a bit too much. Although it is really difficult to judge the “intentional degree” of Green under the fierce collision, it seems that there is not much complaint to be sent out for such a dangerous action.

However, for the Warriors, after Draymond, the offensive and defensive center, left the field, the impact can be seen from the follow-up games.

Because of the lack of this conduction point, most of the Warriors’ offenses were launched by Curry at a high position. It’s not that this is not a good way to play, but the Warriors only had this move for six or seven minutes, which seemed tedious. Moreover, with only Looney left on the field, the Warriors basically didn’t have many high-quality shots except for Thompson’s two three-pointers.
