Inadvertently, the Golden State Warriors, who ushered in the return of the splash combination, suffered a series of critical hits from the Grizzlies and Bucks, and fell into the embarrassment of two consecutive defeats. Obviously formed the strongest lineup this season, but not the opponents of those league powerhouses, the Warriors' performance has caused many fans to wonder. But in fact, we have to recognize the fact that the team's star Curry's recent outside three-pointer feeling is not very good, and even once could not play the technical level of his team leader.
Not only that, Jordan Poole also has no magic in the past, Wiggins, who claims to be the 18-point essence of human beings, is powerless, and Clay, who has just returned, also needs time to adapt to the game. But reality didn't give them a chance to breathe, and it was once again a game away to the Chicago Bulls. As the most powerful team in the East at this stage, the Bulls, although in this game, still fell at the feet of the Nets' Big Three, they did not compromise and still maintained the throne of the Eastern Conference overlord.
In this home challenge to the Golden State Warriors, the Bulls have a lot of situations on the side, and still failed to get a bargain in front of the Warriors. At the beginning of the game, although the Bulls were able to break the embarrassment of the game with a three-pointer from Ball, the Warriors who played on the road were able to accumulate and continue to threaten for the rest of the first quarter. Curry was in poor shape, although he only shot 1 of 4 in the first quarter, But Wiggins was able to step up and deliver a comprehensive data of 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists with an efficient output of 6 shots and 5, and Jordan Poole, who returned to the start, also returned to the previous magic, 3 of 5 of 3 three points in a single quarter, and sent 11 points and 2 assists.
With the successive efforts of Wiggins and Poole, the Warriors took advantage of the trend to play a 37-28 score and take a 9-point lead. At the same time, LaVine, who only played 3.5 minutes in the first quarter, unfortunately suffered a left knee injury and had to leave the field early. And the Warriors, who entered the second quarter of the showdown and achieved the main victory, can continue to threaten and expand the point difference between the two teams. Curry's form gradually returned, and the second quarter also had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, Wiggins could continue to threaten, handing over 8 points and 1 assist, and Kuminga, who was a substitute at Lake Station, also had an efficient output of 6 shots and 5 shots, sending a key 12 points.
Because the players on the team played everywhere, the Warriors scored a 41-19 single-quarter score. At the end of the first half, the Warriors have taken a 31-point lead with a 78-47 score! The gap between the two teams widened and reached the crucial 31 points, and the situation became clear, and the Warriors won the game nine times out of ten. Looking back at the details of the first half, Klay was absent, and Curry's performance was decent, with 4 of 8 shooting, sending 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
But Wiggins kicked over the thermos cup, no longer the player who was the essence of humanity's 18 points, but with an efficient output of 8 of 10 shots at halftime, he sent out a halftime high of 20 points, as well as 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Not only that, Kerr readjusted the team lineup, recalled Poole to start, he can also play himself again, half-time delivery of 15 points and 4 assists, in the process of helping the team to expand the point difference, made a lot of credit. The game continues, and curry in the second half can play his all-time three-point king!
