As more and more NBA players trigger health and safety protocols, multiple teams have been affected to varying degrees, such as the Nets, the Big Three brushed up on the wall, and the team had to postpone the third game. Similarly, the RecentLy Aggressive Golden State Warriors have a similar problem, and while not even the league's minimum of eight players can't be met, Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole and Damien Lee are all important rotations for the team. It also presents a big problem for manager Steve Kerr.
Don't underestimate Wiggins, Poole and Damian Lee, their average score per game is 18.7 points, 17.9 points, 8.4 points, ranking second, third and fourth in the Warriors, the Warriors can once rank first in the league, inseparable from the bright performance of the three of them. Now that the Warriors are allowing opponents to rotate a trio of 45 points per game at once, this is definitely an epic weakening.
Not to mention that this opponent, the Grizzlies, is fourth in the West, but suffered a losing streak after the return of homemaker Morant and urgently needs a victory to rush the joy. Witnessing the tragic situation of the warriors, they still did not move the idea of "taking advantage of your illness to kill you"? For Curry and his teammates, it was a leak in the house that rained overnight. Sitting at the home of the Chase Center, it is inevitable that there will be a bitter battle.
In fact, two minutes before the end of the game, the game was indeed extremely anxious, the two sides came and went, the score was staggered, and with Melton's two-point shot, the score came to 102 draws, and the two sides returned to the same running line. 120 seconds, the two sides are divided equally, this is the real decisive moment, and it is also the most obvious of a team's heritage.
Without Wiggins, without Poole, without brother-in-law Damian Lee, who will divide the pressure for Curry? The son of fame, Gary Payton II, did not give in, slapped the horse, the outside curved bow and arrow hit the tough three-pointer, the point difference was instantly stretched to 5 points, and the balance of victory began to tilt quietly towards the home team. Before the Grizzlies could ease up, the cute god who was chased and blocked on the outside line suddenly accelerated into the inner line, and the left hand deftly dialed the ball into the basket. When Bane wanted to take cover to make a three-point shot to renew the life of the Grizzlies, Dream Green reached out like a ghost to complete the deadly seal of the throat that saw blood.
The Warriors' three combos, in one fell swoop, completely changed the game in less than 120 seconds. Considering that they are not yet complete, this foundation is what they are really afraid of. It's hard to imagine that when the team's second, third, and fourth scorers return, and Thompson and Wiseman join, who else in the league will be able to stop them with all their tails.
After the game, Curry, who opened the "Haotian mode" again, scored 46 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and single-handedly threw 8 three-pointers, including 30 points in the second half; Payton Jr. got a new season high, and the first start after coming to the Warriors seized the opportunity, and the 22-point report card shone brightly. When Wiggins, Poole and Damian Lee were absent, Warriors fans discussed who could share the scoring pressure for Curry, when the "Green Teacher" Green was very vocal. Although the three-single report card of 8 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists is not so beautiful, The role of Mr. Green on the defensive end is obvious, and it also gives teammates the possibility to put more energy into the offensive end.
Losing to such a warrior, the young Grizzlies are not at all unjust. Curiously, the Christmas Warriors will meet the old enemy Sun again, and who will usher in the outbreak of this all-out team? Will it be the "Green Teacher" chasing the dream of Green? Or did Peyton II continue its strong performance? Or the likes of Otto Porter, Cuminga, Bjelica? And what kind of answer sheet will Curry hand over? Let's wait and see, wait and see the arrival of the year-end feast.
