The NBA regular season continues, the focus of the battle between the Warriors and the Grizzlies strong dialogue, Morant-led Grizzlies and Doncic-led lone ranger two games can be said to be unexpected, originally thought to be a very glue game did not think that it was a big score to win, the Warriors set a number of records in this game. The Warriors' big score wins are record, but there are still two major problems that need to be solved urgently.
The match between the No. 1 Bulls in the East and the No. 2 Warriors in the West ended with the Warriors beating the Bulls 138-96. Recently, the Warriors are not in good shape, the ranking of consecutive losses in the standings has also slipped to second, the big score win against the Bulls in this battle has made the Warriors sweep away the haze, the whole game of the Warriors is flowing, all kinds of steals, counterattacks, 31 points ahead of the opponent in the half, 40 points in the third quarter, and finally a 42-point victory over the Bulls.
The Warriors set several records, first with 78 points at halftime and 138 points as season highs; then 31 points in the first half, 39 points behind the Bucks in the previous half, and a 70-point gap in two consecutive halftimes, the largest of any team since 1945-55. This campaign Cuminga performed eye-catching, 10 of 12 shots in the game to cut down 25 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks of the comprehensive data, the game has staged a powerful dunk many times, Kerr bluntly said that this is The best game Kuminga played, he showed his rich arsenal, can pass, can defend, but also hit some three-pointers, explosive athletic ability.
Although it is gratifying to win the game, especially the opponent is the first Bulls in the East, but at this stage, the Warriors still have two major problems that need to be solved urgently, which has a direct impact on their subsequent games and even the impact of the championship.
First point: Curry is not in good shape. Curry played against the Bulls in the third quarter, 19 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal on 7-of-15 shooting, shooting 46.7% and 40% from three-point range, which is no problem at all, but a closer look at Curry's recent data will show that Curry is currently in poor shape. Curry's three-point shooting rate has not exceeded 50% in nine consecutive games, which is also the longest time in his career, Curry's three-point shooting rate so far in the season is only 38.4%, looking back at Curry's career, except for only 5 games in the 19-20 season, Curry's three-point shooting rate is more than 40% in the rest of the season.
In addition, Only 2 of Curry's last 6 games have scored more than 20 points, and even one game has scored just 9 points. These figures reflect that curry is currently in a state of issue, and he needs to adjust his state. As the core of the Warriors, Curry's importance to the Warriors needless to say, his state directly affects the team's performance.
Second point: Clay's state and the impact of his return. Clay's return is important for the Warriors, but Klay's current form suggests he still needs time to adapt to the game to find his past form. After his comeback, Clay played three games, playing time was controlled at about 20 minutes, 7/13 of 5/11 of three games, shooting 38.9%, 38.5%, 27.3% shooting, Clay still needs time to recover himself.
Clay has other problems in addition to his poor form, his return has broken the original chemistry of the team, the team's original fluency has been affected, and Clay's return seems to have an impact on Wiggins. As the Warriors' second scoring point, Wiggins has averaged 18.6 points per game so far this season (master of points), his last 9 games have scored 21/25/22/17/17/10/13/16/21, and the middle 10 points, 13 points, and 16 points are exactly the scores of Klay's return in three games, of course, it does not rule out that Wiggins himself is not good, but it can also reflect some problems, Wiggins has been affected. How to reintegrate Clay into his existing tactics is the next problem that Kerr needs to solve.
Fortunately, there is still half a season left for the Warriors to adjust, looking forward to Curry finding the feel soon, looking forward to the strongest Clay, Wiggins said in an interview: When I develop chemistry with Klay, it will be terrible. Looking forward to such a scene.
