Warriors fans often say a word, desperate to see Klay Thompson. Thompson is a natural big-scene player born for a desperate situation, and the Warriors will step up to save the team every time they fall into a desperate situation. For example, in Game 6 of the 2016 Western Conference Finals, Thompson hit 11 three-pointers in a single game to set an NBA playoff record, helping the team beat the Thunder on the road. Thompson hit one magical three-pointer after another in that game. In Game 6 of the 2019 Finals, although Thompson fell, he still scored 30 points before the injury, and it was absolutely impossible for the team without Thompson to play with the Raptors until the last moment.
Today the Warriors welcomed a strong opponent at home - the Brooklyn Nets, although Harden and Durant did not play, but after all, there is Irving, the Warriors must not take it lightly. Irving scored high points in the second half to help the team narrow the score even further. In the 4th quarter, the double line pointed to Mai Mang, and the difficult goals were scored one after another. At this time, the desperate Thompson was forced out again.
Thompson's offensive efficiency in this game is not very high. He hit just five of his 14 shots and had 16 points and six rebounds, but Thompson didn't slump in the crucial 4th quarter. In the 4th quarter Thompson hit all three shots, scoring nine points in a single quarter, and with less than 15 seconds left in the game, Thompson received a pass from his teammate, took two steps from the three-point line, and the ball crossed a perfect arc into the basket. It was Curry who gave Thompson the assist. After that shot, the Warriors took a four-point lead.
Of course, the game wasn't over yet, and irving's subsequent difficult three-pointer narrowed the gap to one point. But after Thompson was uncompromising, he executed two fouls and hit both free throws without giving the Nets a chance. The Warriors thus won at home.
Thompson and Irving scored three points at a crucial moment, which reminds people of the bits and pieces of that year. A good star often needs a good opponent, and only a good opponent can inspire the star's real strength. Every time Irving and Thompson played against Mars, mars hit Earth, the Warriors would let Thompson defend Irving most of the time when facing the Cavaliers. Thompson hit a series of three-pointers in the Finals against the Cavaliers. In Game 7, Quarter 4 of the 2016 Finals, Thompson's difficult left-handed layup and shot briefly helped the team take the lead, but Irving sealed the victory with a three-pointer in the final moments of Game 7. Later, Irving sent a mid-range accurate kill against Thompson's defense in the Christmas battle against the Warriors, which was also enjoyable. Now the two have repeatedly attacked on the field, which has made the fans laugh.
In the end, if it weren't for Irving's performance so well, Thompson wouldn't necessarily have played at such a high level. Thompson's performance in this game is also to tell the Warriors, no matter how sluggish his performance in the first three quarters is, how bad the feel is. But Thompson is absolutely trustworthy at critical moments, and he is a killer like Curry. Maybe the duo will lose their first 10 shots, but when they get the opportunity on the 11th shot, they will be able to take advantage of it. This is a must-have trait for a shooter and a star.
