Recently, the Golden State Warriors' record has fluctuated, sometimes they can win big games, and sometimes they inexplicably lose to some weak teams. In the process, the Warriors are not panicking, because they are giving Thompson, who is returning from injury, more time to adapt to the game.
In order to get Thompson to find the feeling of playing as quickly as possible, the Warriors focused a lot of shooting power on his hands in order to restore Thompson's strong threat on the offensive end before the playoffs arrived. But at this point in time, the Warriors suffered a new wave of injuries.
Core guard Curry has played at the MVP level this season, leading the Warriors back to become one of the strongest teams in the Western Division and even in the NBA. But recently, Curry has been plagued by a hand injury and is unable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves today.
In addition, the Warriors' worse news is the injury of the main interior lineman Drummond Green. It is understood that Green has a problem with lumbar disc herniation, and his injuries have been going on for some time. After the lumbar disc herniation, Green's left calf would be sore because his calf nerves were compressed.
Previously, in the first game of Thompson's comeback, Green did not want to play because of injury, but in order to play with Thompson, he started the game for 7 seconds, took the initiative to foul after the two sides completed the jump, was replaced, and then truncated so far.
Although Green is not strong in scoring, he has a tough style of play and a very good organizational ability, which is a very good axis. In terms of interior defense, Green's role is also very large, supporting the Warriors' entire defensive system. It can be said that Curry is absent, and the Warriors still have a way to rely on the system to solve the problem of outside scoring, but without Green, the Warriors' system collapses in half.
