Chapter 387 Defeating the Golden State Warriors

Phoenix, which has lost two games in a row, will face the Golden State Warriors next at home.

On the evening of November 11th, at the American West Arena, the Phoenix Suns played against the Golden State Warriors. Just after the end of the first quarter, all the Warriors looked up at the score on the scorer, their eyes were a little lost and they didn’t believe it. With his hands on his waist, he shook his head, and slowly dragged his body towards the field.

18 to 35! !
Who would have imagined that before the game, it was considered a [-]-[-] match, but in the end it was only played for one quarter, and the outcome of the game was almost decided.

17 points behind, the Warriors are not impossible to recover, but, for a team that is still rebuilding, the destruction of confidence is still quite large, and it is a joke to want to recover.

In fact, the state and strength of the Warriors this season are not bad.

In order to exchange for "Big Beard" Baron Davis, the Warriors sent a first-round pick. Therefore, last season when other bottom teams were desperately doing badly, the Warriors struggled game by game, wanting to polish There is an existing fixed lineup.

The momentum is like a rainbow, and they have a better record than other playoff teams.

At the beginning of this season, the Warriors maintained the lineup and tactical play of last season. They have a similar lineup and achieved good results. This season, they have 4 wins and 2 losses, ranking No. 3 in the Western Theater. The record is even better.

This is also the reason why the Warriors are still optimistic even if the Suns are at home before the game.After all, the current Suns team has a big problem and has lost two games in a row. To put it bluntly, many experts still believe that the Suns are at the bottom.

You know, the Suns have changed a large number of teams, almost a dozen players.Just running in the lineup is enough for the Suns.

Moreover, the Suns also experienced injuries and the loss of main players, which naturally had a great impact on combat power.

I didn't want to, but this game ended in such a situation in the first quarter, and the completion was a one-sided game.

Except for the head star Baron Davis, the Warriors can play, and none of the other players can play.

The second-in-command, Jason Richardson, even made unbelievable statistics. He made 5 of 0 shots in the first quarter, scored no points, and was completely undercover.

Facing Garabel, who was on the hook, Jason Richardson, a player with a strong style of play, was like facing a top defensive superstar, and he couldn't score points under the opponent's defense.

Mike Dunleavy, the No. 02 pick in 4, also had a strange performance. He only made 1 of 2 shots and only scored [-] points. Neither his shooting nor his organization and passing could pose any threat to the Suns.

You must know that Barbosa is the main defense against him!This was a misplaced confrontation, but Dunleavy was not on the line and played very amateurishly.

The weakness of the Suns is the weakness of the interior, and the Warriors are also attacking the interior of the Suns, but Murphy's performance is also poor, 6 of 2 shots. Facing Thomas' defense, he can't resist the opponent. And post-up singles, and did not score steadily.

Foyer, who plays power forward, does not have many powers, does not perform well on offense, and does not do a good job in his defensive tasks.

Marion made 5 of 4 shots. Whether it was an off-the-ball layup or an awkward mid-range shot, he almost played no matter how he played. He made 5 of 4 shots and scored 9 points in a single quarter.

Garabel was in a hot state, like a god possessed, 5 of 5 shots, 12 points, three-pointers or two-pointers, no matter how he shot, the Warriors had no power to parry at all.

In this game, the Suns, which had been in a two-game losing streak, took the initiative to change. D'Antoni put Barbosa in the starting lineup and resorted to a three-guard lineup.

Barbosa replaced Jones and did not disappoint the coach. He used his speed to force a breakthrough, hit the basket, cause damage, hit the free throw line, and he could also play defense and counterattack quickly.

Thomas put his energy on defense, didn't take many shots, and almost didn't use his shots.

Under Nash's needle-and-thread organization, he delivered ammunition to the Suns, sorted out the Suns' offense in an orderly manner, and the offensive rhythm was very smooth, like flowing water.

The Suns began to exert their strength in the first quarter, playing violent offensive firepower, and a wave of flow established the victory of the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors were not willing to accept the defeat, so naturally they had to counterattack with all their strength to close the gap between the two sides.Their head star Baron Davis is still on the court, presiding over the Warriors' offensive firepower.

With this year's rookie Eta Ellis also playing an amazing offensive performance, the Warriors played a golden double-gun offensive situation in the second quarter, and the chasing points were very tough.

Even if the bearded man rests, he can be replaced by the "old fish" Fisher to continue the offensive firepower.

The Warriors played a good offensive offensive when the outside players were in good condition. In the second quarter, they beat the Suns with a 29-18 attack wave and returned the color.

The Suns led by a lot of points and had a large rotation lineup, but at the same time, the Suns didn't have a good run-in, and they immediately returned to their original shape, and their offensive firepower was directly misfired.

Dior increased his shots, but he didn't expect how bad his shooting would be. He made 4 of 0 shots and didn't score a point. He was like an undercover agent.

Thomas had almost no offense in the first quarter, and also increased the number of shots in the second quarter. However, the touch was not on the line. He made 5 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points.

Lin Bai's performance was not as amazing as in the previous games. He only made 4 of 2 shots and scored 5 points.

The lineup composed of substitute players was not in good condition, which also affected the starting players. Gala Babel's condition directly plummeted. There were no mistakes in the first quarter, but he played in the second quarter. His condition came and went quickly. Soon, like the tide, he made a 3-for-0 and scored a zero.

Fortunately, Nash and Marion's pick-and-roll cooperation played well and continued to output offensive firepower to the Suns, so that the offensive firepower output of the Suns did not make the Suns' offensive firepower output so ugly.

After the first half of the game, the two teams each finished a quarter of the game. With their better performance in the first quarter, the Suns led the Warriors by 53 points 47 to 6 and entered the locker room to rest.

The score gap between the two sides has been narrowed to less than 10 points. The suspense of the game has not been lost, and there is still room to play.

Back from the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the third quarter, the starting lineup of the Suns reappeared, and the Suns' offense on the court played quite well after the change.

Garabel's condition picked up. Although he was not as superb as in the first quarter, he was not as ugly as the second quarter. He made a three-pointer and a two-pointer.

The performance of Barbosa and Thomas is not bad, both can contribute points.

As for the new pair of Nash and Marion, the state has remained very stable, and there is no problem with the offensive firepower output.

The Suns played a full-on, multi-point offensive offensive, scoring 28 points in a single quarter.

However, the Warriors' offense has a big problem. The starting lineup of Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, and Murphy is very bad, and the offensive firepower is directly misfired.

Relying on the power of star Baron Davis, he made 11 of 5 shots and scored 14 points in a single quarter. He carried the banner of the Warriors' offense and did not make the Warriors' offensive firepower so ugly.

In particular, the outstanding performance of substitute players Pete Ruth and Fisher helped the Warriors score 23 points.

After the first three quarters, the Suns have opened the score to 11 points.

The game started in the fourth quarter. The Suns, who used to like to run and bomb, began to slow down the pace and rhythm of offense, and played a defensive counterattack steadily.

The Suns, who strengthened their defense, made the Warriors very adaptable. In addition to this game, their state was very bad. They started to try their best to improve their three-pointers in the fourth quarter. As a result, their three-pointers hit the iron repeatedly. Missing the shot was like seeing a ghost.

Under such circumstances, the Warriors fought back desperately, only scoring 16 points.

Although the Suns took the initiative to play a defensive battle and their offensive firepower was poor, they could still score 20 points, without giving the Warriors any chance to comeback.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns beat the Golden State Warriors 101 to 86, 15 points at home, ending their two-game losing streak.
