In the first half, the Warriors played very well, and it can be said that they have played out their tactics this season.

In particular, all kinds of cover on the outside, all kinds of running, are basically their main tactics this season.

Of course, after all, this is only the first game, and the Warriors can't talk about the realm of perfection, at least their "five little deaths" are far from the power of a few months later.

However, according to Kerr's expectations, theoretically speaking, the team will not fall behind, even if it can't lead too much.

But the facts disappointed him a little, and at halftime, the Spurs actually led by double digits!

Although it was just 10 points, it was also behind by double digits!

Sometimes it's like that, you're nine points behind and that's fine, and 10 points behind you feel like you want to give up.

If it was because of a poor performance by the players or a poor tactical execution, then Kerr would not have felt that there was anything wrong with trailing by 10 points at half-time.

But when I have done almost the best so far, I still lose so much, which is a bit unacceptable!

Could it be that this is what the defending champions are all about?

In the locker room of the Spurs, everyone is doing their own thing in an orderly manner, some are busy changing shoes, some are lying down to receive massages, and some are meditating cross-legged...... I just didn't look at the tactical board obediently!

Popovich came in with a serious face, although the Spurs looked very good in the first half, but judging from the outside matchup, the Spurs did not have any advantage over the Warriors.

The reason why he was able to lead by 10 points, seriously, it can really be said that Whiteside was too active on the inside, and he just won against the opposite Whiteside.

"Qin, Kehuai, this game is probably not playable, I need the two of you to cooperate more in the second half, and I will suppress the two guys on the opposite side for me!"

Popovich called Qin Yan and Leonard, after all, judging from the first half, although these two played well, there was not much cooperation between them, and the suppression of the main outside line on the opposite side could only be said to be a normal performance.

The Ice and Fire duo and the Splash Brothers, the first half can only be said to explode each other.

"Coach, those two guys are not easy to deal with."

Qin Yan complained silently, he did play half the game today, and Qin Yan also has his own opinions on Curry and Thompson.

These two people, now that their three-point shots are on target, they have no friends, and they are very fast, so it's really terrible to give you a cold shot.

"Indeed, they are strong." Leonard also commented very seriously, he let go of Curry in the first half, and also let go of Thompson, both of whom dared to shoot three points under his block, which made Leonard also have a little headache.

"You two mean you can't deal with them? Did you get itchy skin after taking the ring today? As soon as Popovich heard it, he knew that these two guys must be ready to be lazy, otherwise, they would just be dealing with two pitchers who have not fully cooperated, where do they need to work so hard!

"Well, that's not it, that's it, coach, I'll guard Curry in the second half, and Kehuai will guard Klay, but it's hard for Tony to look at Andre."

Qin Yan hurriedly showed his loyalty, and before the old man got angry, it was better to put himself in a safe environment.

Moreover, there is a deep meaning in doing so, although Thompson and Curry are very accurate, Thompson is now more of a catch-and-shoot who relies on weird runs to get out of space, and his offensive ability with the ball is average.

Therefore, Leonard's death entanglement, or sticky wording, is very difficult for Thompson to deal with.

As for Curry, although his passing ability is not particularly top-notch, it is absolutely no problem to send shells to Thompson, and Qin Yan's task is to cut off the connection between Curry and the other members.

After all, with his height and long arms, standing in front of the Curry, it is an insurmountable nobility!

Leonard is used to block Thompson's receiving route, and Qin Yan is used to block Curry's passing route.

"Coach, and me, and me!"

Whiteside was also very excited, judging from the last period of the first half, Whiteside really contributed a lot, this guy dominated the three-second zone at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends alone, although he almost became a big five, but in the end he twisted it back!

"Hassan, I want you to continue to press the opposing inside in the second half, just like you did in the last moments of the first half."

Popovich is still very satisfied with Whiteside's performance, an excellent center has to go through time to become a talent, if it wasn't for Split's injury two years ago, he would not have fished this guy out of the NBDL at Qin Yan's suggestion.

Think about it at that time, this thing was just a jumping man who liked to block hats, and he didn't have any defensive IQ at all, just blocking for the sake of blocking.

But in the past two years, under the tutelage of Qin Yan, Duncan, Mutombo, Ewing and others, Whiteside is like a water-absorbing sponge, constantly absorbing what is useful to him, and now it can be said that he is already the top center in the league!

Inspirational, from NBDL to the current multi-millionaire, Whiteside can write books......

Back on the court, at the beginning of the second half of the game, as soon as the Warriors came up, Iguodala forced Parker to prepare for a layup, but as soon as the ball was shot, Whiteside directly swung it over with a big slap and capped the ball at once!

The Warriors still play from the outside, and almost 70% of their shots today are on the outside, and it's a shame that their shooting percentage is okay today, otherwise it's really a bit miserable.

Especially the blocking and demolition between their splash brothers, which is indeed very lethal.

However, after Curry was favored by Qin Yan and Thompson was entangled by Leonard, the Warriors' offense was dumb. Although Thompson, who has no ability to hold the ball and needs to rely on his teammates to pass the ball, is also a threat, after Curry was locked by Qin Yan, Thompson's threat level plummeted.

Kerr called several timeouts in the third quarter, but to no avail, they relied too much on three-pointers, but when the two most accurate three-pointers were redeemed by the opponent in a way close to "redeeming", Kerr had no other way, and he couldn't expect Green to step up, and then score several three-pointers in a row or play several offenses in a row to open up the situation for the team, right?

In that case, Green wouldn't be Green, but James or Durant......

"Are you coaches out of recruitment?"

While quickly bypassing the blocking and demolition personnel while chasing Curry, Qin Yan certainly would not let go of the opportunity to blow the opponent's confidence with trash talk.

Curry was holding the ball a little hard, while looking for a chance to shoot, there was no way, this guy was too big for Curry, and it was really difficult to shoot.

Coach, coach, hurry up and find a way, if you continue like this, the white-bearded old man on the other side will win!
