Fans are already very familiar with the Warriors' starting five tigers.

Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green and Bogut, it was this set of starters that allowed the Warriors to win 66 wins and reach the top of the West.

To be precise, it's still one step away from reaching the top of the West. But this step, in the eyes of Warriors fans, is not far away.

For the Grizzlies, the starting lineup is composed of Link, Butler, Iguodala, Harris and Gasol.

Conley continued to be injured, while Link continued to play No. 1.

Judging from the starting lineup, the Grizzlies are still very strong. But the biggest problem for the Grizzlies now is that the serious injury problem makes their lineup very limited.

The Grizzlies can play now on the bench, including Delavidova, Tony Allen, Whiteside and Azeli.

The injuries of Carter and Conley made the Grizzlies' outside line not very rotating. Originally, the second and third positions were the two positions with the Grizzlies' most abundant reserves, but after Link was transferred to the No. 1 position, the Grizzlies were equivalent to missing the No. 2 and No. 3 candidates.

The four people who can play on the bench are not weak, but their problems are also obvious - they have no independent offensive ability, and are strong in defense and weak in offense.

Delavidova, Tony Allen, Azelley and Whiteside are all defensive. In terms of offense, each one is rougher than the other.

Therefore, Link is often used to make up for it, which has led to his huge consumption in March and April.

Therefore, the Grizzlies were forced to this point by the Warriors while the starting lineup still looked strong.

I have to say that injury is indeed the biggest enemy of a team.

Although injuries have greatly damaged the overall structure of the Grizzlies, fans still believe that the Grizzlies have the possibility of defeating the Warriors.

The reason is very simple, the Grizzlies have Link!

Moreover, if Link plays the No. 1 position, God knows whether Curry can still perform well.

Lillard, Westbrook and Paul have a deep understanding of this. They were all guarded by Link to autism.

Even a defender with great ability has to be in half the power in front of Link.

Therefore, the direct showdown between Curry and Link has also become a major highlight of this game.

After the Warriors competed for the first attack, the scene shot immediately gave Curry a close-up.

Whatever strength can be achieved when Curry plays against Link, which will be the key to whether the Warriors can win the game!

Almost the whole world is in the duel between yy Link and Curry, as if this game is the 1v1 between Link and Curry.

But Warriors coach Steve Cole doesn't think so. He is a head coach and an excellent head coach.

Unlike fans who watch the fun, Cole's task is not to give the fans the game they want to watch, but to find ways to win the game.

Since commenting on the Grizzlies last season, Cole has already thought that Link is a powerful player. Even he must admit that in terms of personal abilities, his top card Curry cannot compare to Link.

Let Curry fight Link head-on? That's tantamount to chronic suicide!

But basketball games are not just 1v1, but a player who has strong personal abilities will definitely win.

When the Warriors started their first offense, Cole's eyes were not on Curry, but on Klay Thompson!

Today, Thompson is one of Cole's trump cards!

After Curry passed halftime, Link did not press close, but did not give him any more room to step forward.

Crossing the midfield line is the range, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Curry as a slightest.

Link took the distance on the defensive end just right, which would not allow Curry to break through easily, nor could he see that he could not easily shoot.

It is not an easy thing to maintain this sense of distance. Many players can't grasp this degree well if they play for a lifetime.

This is naturally not something that everyone can do, otherwise Link would not be the best defensive player last season.

Curry knew he was seen to death, but he was not in a hurry, but waited for Thompson to take over.

"Primary school students" know that someone can score for him!

At this time, Klay Thompson, who was ambushing the bottom corner on the right, suddenly borrowed Green's unball cover to enter the three-point line.

Curry passed the ball immediately and sent it to Thompson at the right time.

There is no doubt about the tacit understanding of the "Spring Brothers", and they all know each other's playing habits very well.

After receiving the basketball, Thompson drifted and shot without fully standing.

Thompson knew very well that if he waited to stand firm before shooting, the fleeting shooting opportunity would be blocked by Butler.

Therefore, you cannot stop at a single step. Regardless of whether you stand firm or not, you must shoot when you catch the ball.

For most players, floating shooting is a matter of increasing the difficulty of shooting.

But for Thompson and Curry, there is almost no difference between floating shots and standing shots!

Thompson shot when he received the ball. Although his body was floating, his whole body was kept very stable and his actions were not affected at all!

Jimmy Butler immediately blocked after getting rid of Green, but no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than Curry's pass and Thompson's shot.

Butler's interference was eventually slowed down, and Thompson's dodging was hollowed out to the net!

After the ball entered, Cole waved his fist vigorously!

When a coach's tactics come into effect at the beginning, he can't do it even if he doesn't want to be excited!

"Beautiful cooperation, this is the characteristic of the Warriors' offense. If you observe carefully, you will find that the Warriors rarely use personal abilities to solve problems on the offensive end. Of course, I am not saying that Curry and Thompson are not very capable, but that behind every move, they have perfect and complex tactics to support them. The Warriors' offense will never be a one-person offense. Five people are running and covering each other. In this way, they can easily get comfortable shooting opportunities."

On the commentary stage, Mark Jackson made a lot of witty words.

Last season, he originally commanded the team at Cole's position. But this season, he and Cole's positions were exchanged. He became an expert, and Cole picked up the coaching stick.

But Mark Jackson didn't feel sad. He was very happy that the team that he laid the foundation could shine.

The Warriors took out a perfect opening attack, and after falling on the defensive end, the Warriors were unambiguous.

Cole will not let Curry fight Link head-on on the offensive end, and he will not let Curry confront you immediately on the defensive end.

If Curry is asked to defend Link, it will undoubtedly use an egg to touch the stone.

After Link controlled the ball and attacked, he found that Draymond Green, who was full of confidence, was standing in front of him!

Curry guarded Jimmy Butler. Of course, Butler's attack power is not bad. But Cole believes that only Link can kill the Warriors!

In the game at the end of March, the Warriors relied on this move to the end and defeated the Grizzlies.

Today, Cole used the same trick again. Draymond Green, this is Cole's second ace!

"Aren't you going to step over my body? Come on, I'm waiting for you!"

As soon as Link approached Green, the guy started squirting.

The Warriors' 16-game winning streak was ended. Green once had a goal swept away by Link, and then watched Link easily attack the basket.

In Green's mind, it was the most shameful defense he had ever experienced.

Since then, every time Green defended Link, he has been very excited.

Excited not only means that Green will be more serious, but also means that Link will suffer more flesh and blood.

The whole world knows that Draymond Green's defense has always had no relationship with the word "clean".

Link did not call for cover, but hoped to organize the offensive efficiency of the entire team to achieve.

So he finally passed the ball with a subtle pass to Tobias Harris who was cutting in.

Harris bravely broke through and made a layup, and did not take the "North Carolina Black Hawks" next to him seriously.

But he forgot that the Warriors' center is also a guy who is not easy to mess with.

Australian Andrew Bogut rushed up without reservation. Seeing Bogut's aggressive appearance, Harris chose to throw.

The basketball went past Bogut's fingertips, but Harris wasn't so lucky.

He was directly knocked to the ground by Bogut on one shoulder, and the throwing was a slight difference from the target because it was too hasty.

As soon as he came up, Harris was attacked. Bogut and Green had no intention of restraining themselves at all!

While Harris was still lying on the ground and covering his head, Bogut grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Curry.

Curry, Thompson and Barnes were all moving forward, and the Grizzlies were also focused on the three of them.

But in the end, Curry, who broke into the free throw line, threw the ball back and sent it to Green.

Green received the basketball at the top of the three-point line, and no one defended it!

Harris, who was originally defending him, just took Bogut's secret move, but now he has just gotten up.

Link quickly turned his gun and rushed towards Green, but it was too late.

Green took action calmly and entered the net with three points!

5-0, the Warriors started with a perfect start!

"I can keep going like this today, and you will become a corpse!"

After scoring the goal, Green squirted at Link again, and the cheers were very enthusiastic in the stands of the Oracle Arena.

At the beginning, the Warriors' momentum completely overwhelmed the Grizzlies. Everyone jumped excitedly, as if celebrating the victory in advance.

Cole raised his lips slightly, and the two key points he won today Thompson and Green both played in form. He wanted to see how Link won today!

The Warriors can defeat the Grizzlies once, and they can defeat the second and third times!
