Warriors Struggle to Victory: Analysis of Key Players’ Performance

Original title: 3 out of 12! 3 out of 13!Mr. Warriors $200 million lost again. Kerr is finally giving up on his meritorious basketball career.

The NBA regular season continues. The Warriors are at home against the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers have been in a state of total disarray this season. Before the game, they only ranked second from the bottom in the Western Conference with a record of 6 wins and 13 losses. The overall competitiveness of the team is very limited. On the other hand, the Warriors After betting on Paul to win in the moment, the team’s core players have declined seriously. Cole’s “meritorious basketball” has also put the Warriors in trouble. Before the game, they only ranked fifth from the bottom in the Western Conference with a record of 9 wins and 11 losses. The last game just Completed a great reversal by the Clippers.

The Trail Blazers started away from home, hitting consecutive three-pointers from the outside to take an early double-digit lead. In the middle of the quarter, the Warriors regained their form and evened the point difference. However, they lost consecutive offensive rebounds at the end of the quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Warriors by 26-22 by 4 points. .

In the second quarter, the two teams started an offensive battle, and the Trail Blazers maintained their lead. At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers led 55-48 by 7 points.

After changing sides, the Trail Blazers once again extended their lead to double digits. The Warriors, led by Curry and a group of substitute players, continued to chip away at the point difference. At the decisive moment, Kuminga sent a key steal and Curry hit a three-pointer. Points killed the game, and in the end the Warriors reversed and defeated the Trail Blazers 110-106.

Throughout the game, although the Warriors completed the reversal and won, the team’s overall performance was unsatisfactory, especially considering that the opponent was the really weak Trail Blazers. The Warriors actually played very poorly in this game.

The most glaring thing is the two billionaires Clay and Wiggins, who are sitting on their laurels and resting on their laurels. The two are once again lost on both offense and defense.

Klay played 27 minutes, making 3 of 13 shots, only 1 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

When the team won, Clay posted the team’s lowest plus-minus of -6. His decline on the defensive end was visible to the naked eye, and his paranoid confidence on the offensive end allowed him to take a large number of unreasonable shots.

Wiggins’ performance was equally terrible. He played 27 minutes, made 3 of 12 shots, 0 of 1 three-point shot, and only scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

As a player with a 100-million-yuan contract, the reason why the Warriors were willing to provide him with a 100-million-yuan contract was mainly because Wiggins performed top-notch 3D performance in the contract year. As a result, after signing the big contract, Wiggins The decline is staggering.

What is even more incomprehensible is that his involvement on the court and enthusiasm for the game have declined rapidly. It seems that after receiving the big contract, his enthusiasm for the game disappeared in an instant.

In contrast, the performance of the Warriors’ bench players was remarkable, especially the two rising stars Moody and Kuminga.

Moody played 26 minutes, made 5 of 10 shots, and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. As long as he was on the court, Moody was the hardest working player on the team.

Kuminga performed even better. He played 17 minutes, made all 6 shots, efficiently scored 13 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 steals. He scored 9 points in the final quarter and posted the highest plus-minus value of +13 in the game.

It is worth mentioning that Kuminga was put on the bench in the first half and did not have a minute to rotate. He was not brought to the court until the second half when he was in trouble, and then immediately changed the situation.

At the decisive moment, the Trail Blazers closed the point difference to 2 points. Kuming added an alley-oop dunk over the basket. This alley-oop directly became a hot search.

The Trail Blazers then hit a three-pointer to close the point difference to 1 point. As a result, Kuminga completed a crucial steal in the chaos and handed the ball to Curry immediately.

Curry naturally lived up to expectations and killed the game with a three-pointer against the defense.

In fact, this three-pointer was Curry’s redemption. In the first half, he made only 1 of 8 shots. In the second half, Curry only recovered when he played with a number of substitutes.

He made 8 of 18 shots from the field, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and performed the iconic “Good Night” celebration after hitting the winning three-pointer.

This game is almost a microcosm of the Warriors’ overall state since the start of the game. If the Warriors want to win the championship, Cole can no longer play meritorious basketball.

Cole was obviously aware of this. In the post-game interview, Cole praised Kuminga by name, and then said that the team must consider adjusting the starting lineup according to the opponent’s different lineups. He still wants to build something solid. It’s a pity that the team has not established anything yet.
