On January 14, Beijing time, the focus of the Golden State Warriors away game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the latter's unilateral hanging, ended with a 118-99 victory.
In this game, the Warriors Drummond Green is still unable to play, and the Bucks, the core point guard Ju Holliday is absent, but this does not affect the strength of the Bucks offensive and defensive ends, facing the weak Warriors on the inside, alphabet brother killed all sides on the inside, handed over 23+7+7 answers at halftime, the outside line also strangled Curry, Thompson and Poole, leading 39 points at half-time, creating the warriors' history since moving to the Bay Area in 1962, the biggest half-time behind record, and the suspense of the game was lost early.
In the post-game statistics, the Warriors only gave a total of 20 assists in this game, but the number of mistakes reached 15, the team made a total of 95 shots, hit 33 goals, and the shooting rate was 34.7%, which was enough to see the Bucks' defensive ability, but in this regard, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was very calm, "I'm not so worried." I know we've just been hit hard by each other, but we're in a tough time this season and it happens to every team every season. Cole said.
Indeed, the Warriors' passing system wants to run smoothly, Green this is very critical, he as the connection point of the front line and the core of the interior defense, the impact on the overall strength of the Warriors can not be reflected through the data, the Warriors and the coaching staff do have reason to believe that they have the ability to beat the Bucks in the case of having Green, but what the Warriors need to know is that their current situation is not just a trough, out of the only time problem, but there are real problems in the lineup and core players.
Curry, who is close to 34 years old, has not played well in high-intensity games, and even some crotch, the continuous decline in three-point shooting rate can not be explained by the occasional downturn, not to mention that today's opponent's outside defensive arrow Zhu Holliday has not yet played, Curry has not played. The team's internal shortcomings are serious, green alone can not limit the opponents with internal advantages, if the back can not be strengthened through trades, or Cuminga, Wiseman and other young people can not grow quickly, the Warriors this year is still a championship team with obvious weaknesses.
