The Warriors ended seven consecutive home games after their win over the Nets, where they were able to record 6-1, and even though they faced Draymond Green's absence during that time, the Warriors were still able to play the league's best defensive performance.
Warriors core defensive champion Andrew Wiggins talked about the team's defensive strategy after Green's absence:
"The mentality of our every game is to interfere with the opposing team through defense and I will do what I can to make them harder," Wiggins said, "when Green is on the floor, it makes everyone's job easier, he can defend the number one to five, he can block and steal, he can do everything." ”
Of course, the Warriors will have a better defensive performance when Green is on the floor, but the good news is that the Warriors can also perform well enough defensively during Green's absence.
On the other hand, Klay Thompson hit the crucial three points against the Nets and helped the team win, and when talking about Thompson's performance, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said:
"Yeah, it's nice to see him perform like that, especially Clay's shooting percentage and free throw shooting," Kerr said, "even in games that don't feel good, he has that confidence, he has the ability to stand up and finish the game." ”
Klay Thompson's comeback and good form is undoubtedly the key to the Warriors' championship impact this season.
Finally, the interaction between Irving and Thompson after this game has also become a hot topic. In his interaction with Thompson, Owen said:
"By the way, can I take your boat?"
Thompson often broadcast live on his yacht, which earned Thompson the title of captain.
