On January 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Warriors played against the Bucks. Thompson played 20 minutes, shooting 3-of-11, 2-of-7 from three-point range, and had 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and returning to the locker room early was too disappointing.
I didn't expect that the first half of the game would become one-sided. After Portis hit a three-pointer, the Bucks led by as many as 39 points in the first half.
It can be said that the Warriors were completely blown up in the first half. Thompson can be said to be completely lost on the court, the first three shots are all deflected, and there is also a foot out of bounds mistake, which makes Thompson quite dissatisfied with himself. After playing for 5 minutes, Clay was replaced. He then rested for a long time on the bench before returning to the pitch in the final moments of the first half.
With 2:57 left in the half, Thompson finally scored, creating a three-point foul and three-of-a-row shooting. However, after causing the foul, Thompson, who was sitting on the ground, kept shaking his head, obviously dissatisfied with his state.
Throughout the first half, Thompson shot 0-of-4, 2-of-3 from three-point range, and made 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal from the free throws. This is not the five-time All-Star that fans remember.
Coming back in the second half, the familiar Thompson was back. With 8 minutes and 58 seconds left in the third quarter, Thompson got a big empty opportunity in the bottom corner, and the Warriors successfully ran out of the tactic and faced the big gap Thompson jumper and hit steadily. Not long after, Thompson's three-pointer in the first quarter also arrived, and the signature catch jump shot was shot and hit steadily. After 36 seconds, Thompson hit another three-pointer, but the point difference was too big and Clay was powerless to return to the sky.
With about 30 seconds left in the third quarter, Thompson returned to the locker room early and looked frustrated. At this point, Thompson played 20 minutes and 34 seconds, and according to the time limit, I am afraid that this battle will be difficult to play again.
