After the start of this season's NBA regular season, the Warriors, who had missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, once again let the fans see their hope of impacting the championship, under the leadership of Meng Shen Curry, they and Paul led the Suns' First Scramble in the West, which has become one of the biggest highlights of the regular season, but after Curry surpassed Ray Allen to become the three-point king in NBA history, his personal performance has declined significantly, which also has something to do with his injury combat. In this away game on the expedition to Minisota, head coach Kerr did not let Curry enter the big list, but let him return to the Bay Area to treat his injured right hand first, after missing the core of Curry and Green's two major offensive organizations, the Warriors played very passively throughout the game, Klay Thompson was not able to play his offensive threat, and Wiggins, who broke out before the old master, did not angrily fall the insulation cup, and Towns fully demonstrated his dominance under the basket in the face of the Warriors who did not have a strong interior line. In the end, under the leadership of the new Wolf King, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 119-99!
The reason why the Warriors can achieve remarkable achievements, Curry, Klay Thompson and dream green's trident can be said to be indispensable, compared to the offensive and defensive integration of Green, and the ball holding ability and no ball ability are top Curry, Klay Thompson's function on the offensive end is more single, which is also doomed to Clay's ability to lead the team is not very strong.
In this game with the Timberwolves, the starting Klay Thompson, after the lack of Curry and Green's two teammates who fed the cake, the personal performance was not eye-catching enough, 14 shots only hit 5 goals, of which only 13 points were scored in 3 of 8 three-pointers, and Wiggins, who faced the old main partition, was also very average in this game, only 4 goals in 11 shots, 12 points were not as good as their season average, and the performance of the two major scoring points doomed the Warriors to lose.
In fact, the Timberwolves' big three are not all in the best state of this game, Edwards is not in a strong sense of existence, 8 shots only returned to 9 points, and Russell also felt cold on the offensive end, 9 shots only hit 2 goals, three-point shots are 5 shots all lost, fortunately, he is very good in tandem with the whole team's offense, one person contributed 7 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists.
In the case of the Warriors without Green's inside defensive gate, the new Wolf King Towns in the game, the basket can be said to be a give-and-take, because the game lost suspense early, this campaign Towns only played 29.6 minutes, two-point shots 14 shots hit 10 goals, easily contributed 26 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks of double-double data, in addition to Towns, timberwolves this campaign also has 4 players scored double digits, whether it is the personal performance of the star, or the overall offensive aspect The Timberwolves are all at a distinct advantage.
In another game at the end of the previous game, Paul's Suns defeated the Pistons in a wave of three consecutive wins, and after the Warriors lost this game, the Suns also extended their win difference to 2.5 games, which also gave them a greater chance of entering the playoffs with the first place in the division and allowing themselves to maintain home advantage in the series!
