On January 10, Beijing time, the Warriors hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Klay Thompson made his comeback debut after 941 days and directly entered the team's starting lineup. The pre-match player introduction, Klay Thompson's name was last read, and the fans erupted into cheers that resounded throughout the stadium!
Without suspense, the Warriors' first offense was handed over to Clay, who scored his first goal in the Chase Center with the most familiar empty cut into the box and made a defensive layup. Subsequently, Thompson tried three three-point shots in succession, but unfortunately failed to hit any of them, and it seems that the long-lost battle line still needs time to re-adapt. After only 4 minutes and 23 seconds, Thompson was replaced by Jordan Pooler, who did not play for a long time, and the intensity had to be slowly adapted.
Although Thompson did not feel good on the outside of the opening, Curry quickly entered the state on the offensive end, hitting all of his first 4 three-point shots, clay's comeback drove the offensive passion of meng Shen, and his three-point rain directly stopped the Cavaliers. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Cavaliers by three points 24-21.
Throughout the first quarter, Curry scored 14 points and 2 of 2 of 5 free throws, Wiggins scored 4 points to give a wonderful dunk, Thompson scored 2 points on 1 of 5, and Poole also scored 2 points.
