Lone Ranger legend Dirk Nowitzki will retire his jersey before the game against the Warriors on January 6, Beijing time. As one of the greatest goalscorers in league history, Nowitzki redefined the way big forwards play and made him an icon for active stars like Stephen Curry.
Speaking about Nowitzki, Curry said he learned a lot from the famous player:
"Even in the end, when your physical abilities go down, your body changes a little bit, but the shot doesn't change," Curry says, "and all of these things have to do with shooting." ”
Curry, like Nowitzki, is the best shooter in league history, and Nowitzki's career has clearly given Curry a "help."
On the other hand, Andrew Wiggins has played well enough offensive and defensive games for the Warriors this season, and ESPN reporter Baxter Holmes, in his analysis of Wiggins' growth, once again mentioned the Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett's criticism of Wiggins' lack of enthusiasm for the game:
Wiggins also responded to this:
"I really can't tell someone how to like something," Wiggins said, "and of course I like basketball." ”
Although wiggins does have some regrets about not being able to become a superstar player with his talent potential, Wiggins has averaged 19.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game so far this season, plus a 43.5% three-point shooting rate.
Finally, with Klay Thompson about to make his season debut, the situation of another core injured player in the Warriors' team has also been updated:
"Rick Seleblini [director of sports medicine] is still here, and if Rick continues to travel with the team, we will let James [Wiseman] stay by his side," coach Steve Kerr said, "because Rick followed the team on the road trip, Clay will also be in this, Wiseman has ended the quarantine, we think it will be meaningful for him to stay with the team." ”
While Wiseman is currently unable to make a comeback, it is only a matter of time before the Warriors turn their attention to Wiseman's recovery phase.
