In the case of an unexpected loss to the Lone Rangers in the last game, the Warriors went to the road to continue to challenge the underdog Pelicans, and Curry, Dream and Anderson were all absent due to injury problems.
Coupled with the fact that Klay and Wiseman have not yet returned, the Warriors can only rely on Wiggins and Poole to lead the team, and as a result, the performance of both of them did not meet expectations, and finally the Warriors lost to the Pelicans on the road and suffered the first consecutive loss of the season.
On the other hand, under the leadership of Paul's light triple-double, the team once again surpassed the Warriors and won the first position in the league.
The Warriors' poor performance in losing the league's first Poole is closely related, and the much-anticipated Poole performed extremely badly, playing 33 minutes in the game, shooting only 3 of 14 shots, and only 11 points, 5 assists and 3 steals.
Compared to the bad statistics, Poole's actual performance in the game was even worse, with all 7 shots in the first half being deflected, 4 of 4 three-pointers, zero half-time scores, only 3 assists and 1 steal, and 2 turnovers.
In the third quarter of the tight score, Poole also did not achieve anything, until the last moment of the final quarter, when the game was about to lose suspense, Poole suddenly broke out, one person cut 10 points in a row, which made his final stats less ugly.
In the face of Poole's poor performance, After the game, Warriors coach Kerr took the initiative to excuse the disciple, bluntly saying that Pooler was a little too anxious.
Kerr said he felt Poole's urgency, he was somewhat forced on himself in some aspects of the game, and many times he could choose a simpler way to deal with it.
Obviously, he was still in too much of a hurry and wanted to be able to provide the points the team needed when Curry was absent.
Although the Warriors lost the game and the previously brilliant Poole did not seize the opportunity to complete further transformation, the Warriors still ushered in some good news.
Among them, the outstanding performance of rookie Cuminga deserves to be recognized by everyone, in the whole game, Cuminga shot 6 of 14, with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
After the game, Cole also praised the performance of these young players, saying that they have gained valuable experience, Cuminga and Moody are working hard, training, learning every day, and they are on the road.
In the face of the praise of the head coach, Kuminga, the youngster, did not forget the showdown to chase the dream of Green, showing his personal high emotional intelligence.
Talking about his defensive big man's performance after the game, Cuminga bluntly said that he needed to fight, just like Dream Green, he is not the tallest one on the field, but every time he comes on the field, you know he will fight with all his might.
As for his and Moody's performances, Cumminga admits that he is always ready, but the two will not often appear together.
Despite losing the game, Kerr said the team will get a day off and the Warriors won't play for the next two days.
At the same time, Kerr talked about the upcoming return of Clay, and admitted that he hoped that the team's medical director Rick Seleblini could make Clay's final decision on Saturday (9th Beijing time).
Another core Curry, although missing the game due to injury, also talked about the upcoming Klay in the interview.
Curry said clay had spent a full two years dealing with the damn injury, that he was ready to come back to rule the world, and that all he needed to do was make a welcome ceremony on the day he returned.
Curry then spoke from the bottom of his heart, saying that he knew how much sweat Clay had put in for this moment, and from the day he was injured, the Warriors were looking forward to his return, fortunately, his mentality was particularly good, even in the darkest of times, he also found some fun, and then he will wait for him on the court to return.
