In order to make up for the departure of Oubre, Pascal and others, the Warriors have also introduced a number of forward players in the offseason, and as Porter gradually enters the good situation, another new signing Who gradually exposes his weakness, Belitsa, does not seem to be so fragrant. In the opener with the Lakers, Bjelica cut down 15 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal as a substitute, can attack and pass and shoot, but also let the Warriors fans call the team really pick up a treasure, but with the deepening of the season, Bjelica not only lost his best outside projection weapon, but also became the team's big black hole on the defensive end, slow movement and defensive habits that were not cultivated during the two weak teams of the Timberwolves and Kings, making him often the main target of the opposing offensive players." Live Target".
In the last 10 games, Bjelica has averaged only 5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, shooting as low as 38.3%, 22.7% and 56.3% respectively, as a big player known for projection, playing such a bad performance in three-point shooting and the most basic free throws is indeed lamentable. Because the Warriors' defensive requirements for the forward are very high, Bjelica has fallen sharply on the defensive end in the case of a downturn on the offensive end, which has also allowed him to be gradually abandoned by Kerr in the recent past. Instead, It brought Toscano Anderson, who had not played much before, back to the main rotation list.
The 33-year-old Belitsa, 2 meters 08 tall, weighs 106kG, although he has a 4-position figure, but since he entered the NBA in the 15-16 season, it is basically based on the 3-position play, although in the 19-20 season in the Kings once played the best 11.5 points and 6.4 rebounds, but considering that this team has not been involved in the playoffs for many years, it does not pay much attention to defense, so Bjelica's new career high brushed out is actually not too informative.
And last season was traded by the Kings to the Heat in this playoff team, Bjelica was refrigerated by coach Spoelstra, which made the outside world very puzzling at the time, and now in the Warriors also suffered the same treatment, the problem may really be in Bjelica himself. In the absence of the previous timber wolves, the Kings of the ample ball situation, Bjelica would have needed to use more efficient performance, let himself in this championship of the strong team, but this season Bjelica does not seem to find his own anti-aircraft gun hot feel, in the recent game against the Blazers such a team as the league's first defensive efficiency, Bjelica can even shoot the worst 4 of the season 0 three-pointers, which is really a bit unspeakable.
In fact, the Warriors in the forward position, this season is really not lacking, in addition to Bjelica, respectively, there are Porter, Iguodala, Wiggins, and then the upcoming comeback Klay Thompson can also be competent, do not forget that they also picked up Moody, Cumminga these two potential new stars in this year's draft, if Bjelica still can not find their own outside touch, and let the defense continue to rot like this, then he may really have to sit on the cold bench in the next game, and even it is likely to be directly bought out by the team.
You must know that in order to join the Warriors, Bjelica did not hesitate to refuse the middle-class contract offered by other teams, but came to Golden State with a basic salary of 2 million yuan that was far below the market situation, and now it is gradually abandoned by Kerr, and I don't know how he feels in his heart?
