Ku& Bahe scored 67 points! Magic body size & athletic talent crushes the Warriors. If you don’t pick up the slack, you will have to gnaw at your old age.

The Warriors lost to the Magic 113-121, and they still lost. It's hard to describe.

The 37-year-old Curry played 34 minutes and 13 seconds, made 7 three-pointers, contributed 34 points, 9 assists and 3 steals; the 36-year-old Butler played 38 minutes and 14 seconds, made 13 of 15 free throws, and scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

The Magic scored 64 points in the paint and 28 points in the fast break. In short, run rampant, use the big to eat the small, use the high to defeat the short, and do whatever you want with absolute height.

It’s not that the Warriors don’t work hard, the Magic’s overall height and hardness are obvious to all. Their starting No. 2 Bane is as tall as Chasing Dream, not to mention the scene of five towers of at least 206 centimeters in Carter, Wagner Jr., Silva, Bitadze, and Isaac attacking the Warriors inside.

The Magic's height, athleticism, and defensive discipline are all there. Their defensive efficiency ranks ninth in the league so far this season. Except for Tyus Jones, who is 183 centimeters tall, everyone else is not easy to chew on. It is obviously unrealistic to expect Moody, Richard, Podemski, and Hield to attack one-on-one with the ball. The only two Warriors who can break the game are Curry and Butler.

Careful friends also discovered that Butler scored 33 points but the Magic did not double-team at all. The Magic even dared to use Carter to defend Curry from outside the three-point line. Allowing the Warriors Xuan Ming to play one against one, only blocking Curry's three-pointers, so why not force Curry and Butler's two-pointers to you?

Curry and Butler worked hard to score two points, and the Magic directly faced each other in the next round. They really dominated the penalty area.

The Magic lineup is highly dominant as a whole, and the Warriors are obviously the more difficult side of the game on both offense and defense.

198cm Dream Chaser+198cm Butler+196cm Moody+191cm Richard+188cm Curry

208cm Carter+208cm Wagner+20 6cm Silva + 198cm Bane + 196cm Suggs

The Warriors' mini five starters, the Magic have three high players in the frontcourt, and positions 1-5 have a clear height advantage over the Warriors in offensive and defensive matchups.

The Magic took the lead early, and their offensive idea was very clear: Wagner Jr. attacked Moody with the ball, Bain and Suggs named Richard for military training, and beat the Warriors until the Warriors double-teamed. Silva on the weak side set up an ambush - the Magic's positions 1-5 all have three-point range, and they are also a five-wait lineup.

The Warriors' difficulty lies in the lack of height in the starting small lineup to protect the basket. Not only does the defense suffer, but it is also stolen from the fast break and rushes straight into the formation. The Magic's No. 2 position is as high as the Warriors' inside line. It is simple and crude to hit the Warriors' basket with the three highs in the frontcourt. Throughout the first quarter, the Magic outscored the Warriors 18-4 inside, giving them an absolute advantage and targeting the Warriors' pain points.

The Warriors' offense is not easy either. The Magic can switch infinitely from positions 1-5 in the opening game. Carter can switch outside the three-point line. The two muscular backcourts of Bane and Suggs can also switch to defend the Warriors' mini inside line. They can switch defenses endlessly and take away Curry's pick-and-roll first.

Curry's single attack on Carter's bravery cost the Magic a heavy price. The Magic were frightened by Curry and had to attack Curry. Curry led everyone to join forces with 5 points and 5 assists in the first quarter.

The Magic relied on their overall height to defeat the Warriors in the penalty area. The Warriors used the gravity of the library to dismantle the defense in detail, each showing their special abilities and attacking passionately.

The turning point of the game was the transition period of the second quarter. The Warriors made consecutive mistakes. The Magic launched a 23-9 attack wave and completely dominated the Warriors from then on.

After Curry led the team with Butler, the Magic used a defensive switch to target the Warriors' second lineup: no one in the Warriors' rotation except Butler could hold the ball and attack, and the one-on-one defense battle between Wagner Jr. and Isaac consumed Butler.

Butler fought hard and carried the output, while the Magic were even more relaxed: Bain + Blake + Jones took turns leading the team with three ball-handling points, and Wagner + Suggs, rushing into the Warriors' crowd, pushing individually, attracting flankers, and shooting three-pointers from the weak side; the Warriors already had huge defensive pressure, and there were continuous low-level passing and receiving errors.

When the Warriors were in crisis, Cole adopted a bright-card style of play. Curry held the ball and fired. He hit three extremely difficult three-pointers and instantly closed the gap. Curry scored 22 points and 6 assists in the first half, and made 5 of 7 three-pointers, with full firepower; Butler also scored 16 points and 3 assists in the first half, breaking through and attacking, using a classic style of play.

Curry and Butler each performed their duties and led by example, carrying the team on their shoulders. However, the Warriors made 8 turnovers in the first half. The Magic quickly broke 15-5 to the Warriors, and the Magic scored 28-16 to the Warriors inside.

Curry scored 29 points and 9 assists in three quarters. The Warriors were still 8 points behind entering the fourth quarter. The Warriors were really struggling on the defensive end. The Magic used their height and impact to take the lead.

The Warriors did not use zone defense for a long time, and their man-to-man marking was directly defeated by the Magic.

The Magic made perfect use of the Warriors' man-to-man defense, using pick-and-rolls to catch mismatches. Carter hit Podemski on the back, and Wagner Jr. ate up Richard.

Cole put Horford + Dream Chaser + Butler + Podemski + Curry in the decisive lineup to increase the height and risk his life. The Magic also adopted targeted defense, flanking Curry, letting loose to chase dreams, and taking turns to cover positions. Curry only scored 5 points in the final quarter.

Curry was locked up by a double team, and the Warriors had to hand the ball to Butler. It was extremely difficult to score two points. The Magic's tall lineup did not worry about Butler changing defenses. Suggs, the Magic's No. 1 position, attacked Butler head-on.

The Warriors couldn't defend themselves. Carter, Wagner Jr., and Bane continuously blasted the Warriors' penalty area. Bane took the ball and rushed to the basket, ignoring the dream of assisting defense. The overall height strangled the basket. The Magic's starting five all had three-point range, blossoming inside and outside, and easily harvested..

The Magic rank first in the league in free throws per game and are second to none in offensive and defensive capabilities. Their size, athletic vitality, and impact and destructive power are obvious to all. Their shortcomings are that they rank 26th in three-point attempts per game, 28th in three-pointers made per game, and 23rd in three-point field goal percentage per game. Therefore, betting on three-pointers in zone defense is the best way to limit the Magic's impact on the penalty area.

The Rockets used zone defense to defeat the Magic two days ago. The Warriors have not used zone defense for a long time, so it is reasonable for the Magic to rush into the penalty area.

Butler and Curry performed impeccably. The two veteran cores scored 67 points together, while the others could only chase their dreams and score in double figures. If the Warriors want to achieve results and go further this season, the Jigsaw players must provide more help to Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming. This battle also proved that chewing on the old is obviously not feasible. After all, other rebuilding teams have begun to rise in large areas in the past three years. The Thunder, Rockets, Magic, Pistons, Raptors, etc. are all tough opponents.

Curry and Butler are still at the top of the league, but the lineup gap is also a real problem. The two of them obviously cannot win the championship. What they are fighting for is the comprehensive depth of 8-10 people. The current level of the young Warriors is obviously not enough to compete for the championship!
