On January 26, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a battle of The Western Focus that just ended, the Warriors defeated the Lone Rangers 130-92 at home, winning 3 straight, and the record became 35 wins and 13 losses!
In today's game, Thompson made a comeback after missing two games. Throughout the game, Thompson played a total of 25 minutes, shooting 6-of-12, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, with a total of 15 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, plus-minus of +26, ranking first among the team's starters.
In the first quarter, Thompson was in average form, scoring two points on 1-of-4. But after entering the second quarter, Thompson was full of firepower, and he hit three three-pointers in a row, and these three goals came from different positions, which were in the bottom left corner, the left 45 degrees and the top of the arc in the center circle.
In the second half, Thompson reduced his shots, hitting two goals in just three shots, but on the offensive end, Thompson began to frequently pass good balls for his teammates, and only in the second half he gave 4 assists, which is one of the reasons why Thompson has such a high plus-minus value today.
Among them, Thompson's many assists come from the back pass. After the game, a reporter praised Thompson's back pass like Curry, and he said with a look of disgust: "Come on, my back pass is not like Curry, I am like Magic Johnson!" ”
It has to be said that after more than two years of recuperation, it is normal for Thompson's state to fluctuate. But the Warriors still gave Thompson patience, and he himself is picking up step by step. I believe that with the deepening of the season, Thompson can run into the whole team faster.
According to the schedule, the Warriors will play the Timberwolves at home on January 28, and they will strive to win four consecutive games!
