A one-sided defeat. Where did the Warriors lose? 4 aspects became the key. Kerr’s tactics failed.

The game between the Warriors and the Thunder can be said to be a one-sided game. The Warriors had no room to win. They only lasted one quarter and were defeated by the Thunder. When the Warriors fell behind the most in this game, it could be said to be 36 points, which was also an ugly game. So what are the points worth analyzing for the Warriors in this game? In a one-sided game, where did the Warriors lose? Four key aspects were crucial. Cole's tactics failed.

To talk about where the Warriors lost, the following four points are crucial. The first point is that there is a huge gap in strength. In this regard, it can be intuitively reflected in the game. In the first quarter, the Warriors were able to compete with the Thunder for a while, but after the Thunder increased their intensity, the Warriors were defeated. In other words, the Warriors only lasted one quarter, and the rest of the game was just a formality. There is no way around this. There is a clear strength gap between the two sides, and this is not the Thunder with a full lineup.

Second point, Cole’s tactics failed. Cole's passing and cutting tactics completely failed in this game. You can take a look at the Thunder's defensive strategy, which prevents the Warriors from passing and cutting. Regarding Curry's defense, whether with or without the ball, Curry is in a very uncomfortable position. So we also saw that Curry only scored 11 points and had 0 assists. Green, as the core controller of passing and cutting, only has 4 assists.

The third point is that the role players show their true colors. For this kind of high-end game, the core players of the Warriors must be targeted, which will test the Warriors role players. But we have all seen that the Warriors role players did not play enough to change the Thunder's defensive principles. On the other hand, the Thunder's role players are well rounded. In fact, this also shows one thing. The performance of the Warriors' role puzzle still relies heavily on the leadership of core players.

The fourth point is that there are more fouls and more mistakes. The Warriors in this game are also quite eye-catching in terms of fouls and mistakes. In terms of the number of fouls, some were targeted by the referee, but some fouls did affect the rhythm of the game, but this is not the most critical, the most critical is various mistakes. In terms of turnovers, the Warriors had 20 in this game. Making mistakes in front of the Thunder means giving them points. There's no way around it, after all, sometimes the Thunder's defense has to make the Warriors make mistakes.

In general, the Warriors' loss in this game can be said to have completely sobered them up. On the one hand, we must recognize the gap with the super team and then advance the game at our own pace and goals. On the one hand, adjustments need to be made. After all, there are still many games to be played in the later stages. To a certain extent, if the Warriors want to go further, it does not depend on veterans like Curry, but on how many growth points young people can provide.
