Thompson has played two games since his comeback, playing the Cavaliers is a feeling, playing the Grizzlies is a small test for the Warriors, and playing the Bucks is the next big test. In the game of the small test, the Warriors regretted that they only got a passing score, and the high score did not get it. The ideal is indeed very full, but the real problem is also very direct, that is, after Thompson's comeback, the Warriors look very strong, but in fact, the overall rhythm is chaotic! Thompson's style of play after his comeback really affects the warriors as a whole, and the most direct is two aspects!
The first aspect is Poole, now Thompson still only plays about 20 minutes per game, he plays twenty minutes Poole has about 25 minutes of playing time, and when Thompson can play 30 minutes per game, Poole will only have about 15 minutes left in each game. Poole, as a position to fill Thompson's vacancy, actually played very well this season. But Thompson's comeback not only means that Poole has less playing time, but also the ball and the way he plays. The most obvious change is that Poole gradually "huaibao" after playing!
There is nothing to say, there is only the basket in the eyes, and when you get the ball, you start to run to the basket to kill! Unlike the Warriors' goal of running to the championship this season, Curry can get an annual salary of 50 million a year, Thompson can take 40 million a year, and Pooler now does not even have an annual salary of 3 million a year, so if the Warriors want to win the record, Poole must eat the data. Thompson is not good to say, every game can also be a stable output, but Tang Shen returned, Poole want to cut the data then can only be a fight, he must have enough shots in the limited playing time, take enough scoring data, there is no way to get here.
The second aspect is Thompson's style of play, it is obvious that In the past two years, Thompson has not been idle even if he is injured, he has obviously improved his dribbling ability, and once he returns, Thompson does not stand in the bottom corner and does not play without the ball, and begins to play an effective ball-holding attack. Thompson began to have a lot of tactics to break through with the ball, and also began to have a lot of offensive singles tactics, so a fight, it is not that he opens up space for others, but the rest of the people have to open up space for him, let Thompson solve the problem singles, the mode of the game is different, and Tang Shen was completely different before he was injured!
So the Warriors seem to be very uncomfortable, like suddenly more than one point, everyone is still very unfamiliar, so for a while the Warriors' ball is not so smooth, most of the time is running Curry and Thompson's tactics, other people's participation is low, so winning or not depends on these two people. So how should the Warriors fight? In fact, it still needs to see whether Cole changes the lineup in the end, the most idealized tactic is still Curry Green's two-man rotation, Thompson as a bottom corner or forty-five degrees of attraction point, tactically or Green initiated, and then empty cut, running position to continue the old thing. The point is not to keep Thompson at the end of a ball-holding breakthrough, his real strength is still the threat from outside the three-point line!
