The Warriors won, and Curry was another high-scoring show.
But Jordan Pooler, the taste of this cup of tea today, can still only be described as bitter.
Starting 23 minutes into the game, he shot 3-of-10, including 1-of-5 from three-point range, scoring only 8 points and committing 3 fouls.
If it weren't for Kerr's decisive choice to abandon Poole in the fourth quarter, to be honest, the Warriors really wouldn't have been able to complete a big comeback.
The way this dude plays now highlights one thing: I can't shoot, but I still have to shoot.
In other words, if it weren't for Poole forcing the difficulty, Curry might not have scored 40 points...
How disappointing has Jordan Poole's shot now been?
According to statistics from the NBA's official website, he shot from outside the three-point line this season, shooting 34 of 119, shooting 28.6%.
Among the players who shot ≥ five three-point shots per 36 minutes, Jordan Poole's three-point shooting percentage is the lowest in NBA history, and he is the only player with less than 30%.
In second-to-last place is former Wizards guard AJ Price, who shot 31.6 percent from three-point range;
In bottom three is former Celtic guard Jordan Crawford, shooting 31.7 percent from three-point range.
So, Jordan Poole, is really a representative player who can't shoot but still has to shoot.
During and early season, he did play a number of good games in a row.
But as the schedule progressed, and after his own style of play was thoroughly explored by the opponent, when encountering targeted defense, Poole's shooting percentage began to become more and more unstable.
In his last four games, he's just 5-of-29 from outside the three-point line, shooting just 17 percent from the field.
If it weren't for Curry's bravery, the Warriors would have won the game, and Poole's state would have to be met by the fans.
The reason is simple, if the Warriors want to regain the championship trophy this year, Jordan Poole, really need to change their shooting choices.
After all, it's Curry's team.
If you can't vote, in fact, you can accept it, and no one can do it in a hundred shots.
However, if you can't vote, but you still have to stick to cold hands and hard shots, then the problem is serious.
The Warriors could have won more easily in recent games, but Poole's form was really outrageously poor, and he did not play the effect of a starting guard at all.
In addition to shooting inaccurately, his position and enthusiasm on the defensive end also need to continue to improve.
It can only be said that the talent is really not high enough.
The Warriors' use of him now is completely hard-nosed, and once it does not achieve results, after Thompson returns, Poole's tactical status will only become lower and lower.
Wiseman was already a headache enough, and now there's Jordan Poole.
Continue this style of play, don't say anything about the tens of millions of contracts, after the end of the season, it is good to get the middle class...
