Today's unavoidable topic is Thompson's comeback, missing two seasons, saying goodbye to more than nine hundred days, for our fans, this is a long wait, for Thompson is even more like a year of suffering, he finally returned, first a strong layup to get the first point of the season, followed by dunks and three points, Thompson announced his return with a stunning performance.
The Warriors and the Cavaliers played, the two teams had met several times in the Finals, but now it is not the same as before, the Warriors have sunk for two seasons and then rise again, and the Cavaliers have lost the capital to compete for good results, the starting players sent by the Cavaliers in this game are Garland, Allen, Mobley, Markkanen and Stevens, once known as the Big Three, Love and All-Star player Rondo on the bench, unfortunately Sexton and Rubio can not appear, the Warriors side of the lineup is much more tidy, the starting player is Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green and Looney, Green is only a symbolic appearance, although there is no Green defense, but the Warriors still limit the Cavaliers' full-court scoring to within ninety points, they show the highest level at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, I think as long as the health of the whole staff is guaranteed, the Warriors will be the closest team to the championship, watching these players play is a pleasure.
There was only one tie in this game, with the Cavaliers leading by four points at most, and the Warriors leading by more than twenty points at most, and the gap between the two sides was more obvious. At the beginning of the game, the Warriors players were very determined, they were all looking for Thompson, the purpose was to help him score, Curry also made two consecutive mistakes, Thompson did not disappoint his teammates and fans, showed his eighteen martial arts, not only breakthrough points, dunk points, and good three points, I will score a perfect score for Thompson's debut.
Curry played 36 minutes and had 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 10-of-21 shooting; Thompson played 19 minutes and had 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block on 7-of-18 shooting.
Thompson suffered serious injuries in a row, resulting in two seasons out, and I can't think of a second player who has the same experience as him, as Thompson said, every day he works hard, and he is proud of his persistence. Thompson doesn't need to prove anything, because as long as he's on the field, it's already a victory. Thompson's playing time will still be limited, and he now needs to adapt to the confrontation and the rhythm of the game, not to ask him to get a high score on the field, but to wish him good health.
Today Popovich was interviewed by media reporters, he talked about Thompson's comeback performance, thinking that Thompson is the best pitcher, the most difficult defender, Thompson's return has added a sparkle to the sport of basketball. I can't find a reason not to like Thompson, although he can't make it to the ranks of the greatest superstars, but no one will underestimate him, and when we think of Thompson, we will think of his wonderful performance.
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Warriors are back at the top of the Western Conference, the opponents the Warriors will meet below are the Grizzlies, Bucks and Bulls, the Grizzlies are the warriors' bitter lords, the Bucks are the defending champions, and the Bulls are dark horses, the strength of these three teams is very strong, not easy to deal with, in the face of such difficulties, what kind of performance will the Warriors have? Let's wait and see.
