The Warriors coaching staff also held a player meeting after studying the video.
Green and Bogut made tough defensive remarks in the meeting.
Green said: "There is no need to be too worried about their offense. We have to believe in our defensive ability. We can play unlimited defense changes. If they break through, they will choose to flank. Their ability to conduct the ball is very poor."
Bogut also said: "If a few of them choose to break through, you can just watch. I can deal with them. I will slap them to the ground."
Green and Bogut do not represent the voices of all Warriors players. Most players have great concerns about the Thunder's offensive capabilities.
Iguodala expressed his concerns: "If there is a double attack, it depends on who will attack. Zhao Chen and Russell are both adapted to this kind of defense. Their assist ability is also very strong. If KD is there, you can't double attack." It must be useful, his hands are too long.”
What Iguodala means is that flanking is useful for ordinary players, but it is of no use against the Big Three.
Curry said: "On the offensive end, Clay and I will consume Zhao and Russell."
Clay nodded and said: "I will withstand Zhao's off-ball movement. I am very familiar with his style."
Mark Jackson did not interrupt the players' free speech, but listened to them as much as possible.
The Warriors players are gradually maturing!
The core of this team is Stephen Curry, but the leader in the locker room is not Curry. They have a good division of labor.
Mark Jackson is very confident that as long as he is given two to three more seasons, this team will definitely have the ability to win the championship.
Unfortunately, some people can't wait.
Mark Jackson knows many executives expect his departure.
There is serious infighting among the Warriors' management. Too many people are eyeing the position of head coach, and there are a lot of people who want to pick the fruits.
His foundation is also unstable.
If you want to hold on to the coaching position, you must at least win the Western Conference championship.

As time went by, the preparations for the war between the two sides also entered a fierce stage.
At this point in the NBA playoffs, basketball fans have focused their attention on the four teams.
Heat, Pacers, Warriors, Thunder!
Anyone who pays attention to basketball is discussing these four teams.
Domestic campus basketball courts are also full of people watching the game.
Zhao Chen's outstanding performance in the Thunder gave young fans a sense of belonging.
Fans are learning Zhao Chen and Durant's playing styles on the court.
As for Westbrook's style of play, it's not that he doesn't want to learn it, but that he really can't learn it.
Grassroots basketball coaches actually don't like students to imitate Zhao Chen and Durant.
Zhao Chen's shots are easy for students to learn, while Durant's shots are easily blocked...
"Don't be like Zhao Chen. Did you hear me? You don't have that ability." The coach of the school team shouted at a student who had taken action against the LOGO.
This scene happened in many places across the country.
Oklahoma City!
Thunder fans are frantically looking for someone to buy tickets for the Thunder vs. Warriors game.
But the ticket prices for the Western Conference Finals are all calculated at sky-high prices. Those who can enter the stadium to watch the game are either rich or expensive, or they have true love.
.....
Fans on the Hupu forum analyzed the matchup between the two teams in the Western Conference Finals.
Fans have had tens of thousands of discussions on this post.
"At the point guard position, Westbrook VS Curry, both are point guards, but their styles are completely different. Westbrook is good at impact dunks, while Curry is good at various Three-pointers, in terms of organizational ability, both of them are above-average point guards, not at the top level, so they are evenly matched at this position."
"At the shooting guard position, Zhao Chen VS Thompson. Thompson is a 3D player. On the offensive end, he is good at running without the ball and cutting inside, and he is good at defense. Zhao Chen is relatively versatile. He can shoot suddenly and has a very high offensive efficiency. He is the most comprehensive scorer in the league. Judging from the comparison of average data per game, Zhao Chen is even better, and the Thunder have the upper hand in this position."
"At the small forward position, Durant VS Barnes and Iguodala, Durant needs no introduction. He is the scoring leader this season and the top offensive player in the league. Barnes is an above-average small forward. , if it was just him, this would be even weaker than the shooting guard position. Fortunately, they also have Iguodala who is good at defense. Iguodala is a striker with both organization and defense. Can he guard Duran? It’s very important.”
"At the power forward position, Ibaka VS David Lee and Draymond Green. This position is where the Warriors have the advantage. David Lee's offense is very comprehensive. It seems that Ibaka has better talent, but in the regular During the game, David Lee successfully defeated Ibaka many times in isolation. This was the Warriors' breakthrough point. Moreover, Draymond Green's defensive and organizational abilities were something Ibaka did not have. This position is also the Warriors' advantage."
"At the center position, Bogut VS Perkins and Adams, neither side has much offensive ability. In terms of defensive comparison, Bogut is not at the same level as them. Bogut is particularly good at defense and cover. Bogut is a top defensive system. Builders, warriors have the upper hand in this regard.”
"As for the second team, both teams will be led by star players, and the overall gap is not big."
.........
The post thoughtfully lists detailed analysis of team data and personal data.
In terms of comparison, the Warriors do not have much disadvantage compared to the Thunder. On the contrary, they have some advantages.
This post is full of curses.
"Praise the warrior so highly?"
"How can the Warriors be so strong? They are far behind the Thunder."
"The Warriors are at a disadvantage in all aspects, okay."
"Data and impression flow are not desirable."
"The Thunder must be the championship."
Warriors fans continue to be suppressed by Thunder fans.
The matchup between the Warriors and Thunder had significantly higher traffic than the other matchup.
Fans are a little tired of watching the showdown between the Heat and the Pacers. No matter how powerful the Pacers are and how motivated they are, the Heat will win in the end anyway.
The showdown between the Thunder and the Warriors is much more suspenseful. Although the Thunder are strong, they are far from stable.
As a Hupu user, Zhao Chen also liked this post.
This makes this post even more popular.
Zhao Chen also believes that the Warriors are not as weak as everyone expected. If they blindly heat up the Thunder, they will most likely die.
Don't underestimate the influence of public opinion. Thunder players will also read these comments and it is easy for them to change their hearts.
May 19th!
