This season, the Golden State Warriors have finally ushered in the comeback of Klay Thompson, the team's backcourt core is also trying to adapt to the team's new tactical system after returning to the game, and in recent games, Klay has really found his form. In the latest warrior and Lakers second meeting of the season, Klay also played the representative work of the season, in the starting 30 minutes of playing time, 22 shots 12, three-pointers 9 of 5 cut the team's high 33 points and 5 rebounds, +10 plus-minus is also the team's highest one, it is also his fatal three-pointer at a critical moment, helping the Warriors to win the Lakers 117-115 thrillingly, avoiding the team's first 3 consecutive losses this season.
The 33 points that Clay has obtained have also increased his average score per game to 17.9 points, temporarily ranking third on the Warriors' team, and the second place Wiggins is only 0.1 points away, according to his hot state in recent games, after successfully surpassing Wiggins and ranking second on the team's scoring list, it is not without this possibility.
In the past two seasons, Klay, who was absent due to Achilles tendon and ACL injuries, although he was able to make a comeback this season, but before the start of the season, the outside world actually had a cautious attitude towards whether his state recovery could return to the peak level, after all, he had not been able to play for 2 years, and the injuries he suffered were very serious, the league has many stars have been destroyed by injuries Typical examples, even if Clay does not rely on the body to play, but everyone is not optimistic about his state, can deliver an average of 12 per game, About 3 points, it is already qualified.
As a result, he did not want to play against the old enemy Cavaliers who had been in the Finals in the first game of his comeback, Clay announced his return of the king with a slam dunk, and in that game, Clay scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in only 19 minutes of playing time, and the debut data list was perfect. Admittedly, in the next few games Clay struggled with his form on the outside, but after all, he was known for his entire career as a projection, and after a period of adjustment, Clay quickly found himself in form. As of now, Clay has been able to deliver 17.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in just 24.7 minutes of playing time, and the three shooting rates have reached 43.8%, 38.9% and 96.3%, respectively, for a 32-year-old veteran who has been absent for a long time, we should indeed give him a thumbs up.
And this time is about to become the second scorer in the Warriors, and Clay can also be regarded as using practical actions to punch the original doubts. If he can return to the peak of at least 80% level, for the Warriors, will play a huge help, especially the recent team core Curry's outside projection is not stable, in this matchup with the Lakers, he shot 8 out of 1 bad accuracy outside the three-point line, almost ended his record of consecutive three-point shooting on the court, but Van Curry's offensive state has declined, and the Warriors want to re-attack the championship this season, and it is indeed a little difficult.
The Warriors will also face the Clippers, Nuggets, Blazers, Lone Rangers, Timberwolves, although these teams are not the top teams, but also their potential opponents in the playoffs, and Klay can also take this opportunity to continue to find their own form, and strive to make themselves more perfectly integrated into this new Warriors before entering the playoffs, helping the team go further.
