This is the key for the Warriors to gradually transform into a strong team this season.
Because when facing those teams that excel in defensive contests, the Warriors are not incapable of slowing down and patiently grinding in the positional game against their opponents.
Except when facing this Suns team.
The Warriors' defensive system would immediately fail.
Then, in the offensive battle against the Suns, they would be overwhelmed by the Suns' offense.
In the second quarter, as the offensive version of Thibodeau during this period, D'Antoni kept Marion and Bell on the court, and brought in Barbosa, Diaw, and James Jones.
As for the Warriors' side...
Montgomery originally wanted to give Qin Yue more playing time, but the "executive assistant coach" Deng Liwei said, "Use Ande... The Suns' second lineup only has that Brazilian who can drive to the basket, I think Ande can handle it, and when it comes to offense, Troy and I are not afraid of them."
