On January 7, Beijing time, when Curry was absent due to injury, Poole shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Warriors' backcourt. Sorry, Poole played iron 0-of-7 in the first half, and there were only 3-of-14 iron crosshairs in the whole game, including 2 of 9 three-pointers, and even if the last 71 seconds burst into 10 points, the whole game still only got 11 points, 5 assists and 5 foul data. Poole's tragic performance undoubtedly proves that he is still more suitable for playing the sixth man on the bench, and After the return of Tang Shen, Poole should play the role of bench attack arrow.
As a third-year player, Poole's improvement is obvious to all, especially in the past two seasons under Thompson's reimbursement, Poole has become the biggest chance winner, reused by Kerr as the team's main number two player. In the first 31 games of the season, Poole averaged 17.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, making him the team's second-largest scorer after Curry and Wiggins.
It was only after Poole scored a game-high 32 points in a comeback against the Heat, and only scored 6 points in the last game against the Lone Rangers, setting a record for the lowest score in a single game of the season.
Unexpectedly, facing the Pelicans, who are in the bottom of the West, Poole was not able to play the performance he deserved to shoulder the team's backcourt in the case of Curry's truce. Poole started a crazy iron mode in the first half, and he only had a 7-of-0 shooting star, including 4-of-4 outside three-pointers, and two turnovers without a point.
By the second half of the game, Poole's form was still sluggish, and he made all the first 10 shots of the game, relying only on free throws to score 1 point. It wasn't until the final stages of the game that Poole ushered in a long-lost recovery, with less than 1 and a half minutes left, Poole first pulled a basket to hit, then completed a three-point shot from the outside, plus 42 seconds left to break through the foul and make two free throws, his continuous scoring helped the Warriors chase only 3 points at one point, and then hit another three-pointer, but the Warriors finally regretted the defeat.
