You can see that Thompson played a very crucial role in this wave of reversals, shooting three three-pointers in less than 4 minutes alone, and each goal was shot behind the scenes - quite a bit of G6 soup.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Thompson shot 6 of 10, 4 of 3 from three points, and scored 16 points in a single quarter, and as a comparison, the Lakers only scored 21 points in this quarter.
Down the field, Thompson played 30 minutes, shooting 12 of 22, 5 of 9 from three-point range, 4 of 5 from the free throw line, 33 points and 5 rebounds, and his plus-minus on the field reached +10, the warriors' team-highest.
What is the concept?
This is Thompson's first 30+ this season
The last time Thompson scored 30+ in the regular season was on March 13, 2019, 1,068 days ago
16 points in a single quarter is also Thompson's highest score in a single quarter since 2018
In addition to the highlight performance on the offensive end, the defensive end, when Thompson was the main defender in this game, the Lakers players shot a total of 1 of 6 - the offensive and defensive ends were all-round, saving the team at key moments, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is probably the best game since Thompson's comeback.
Since his comeback, Thompson's performance has definitely been a surprise.
So far, he has played 14 games, averaging 17.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 24.7 minutes per game, shooting 43.8%/38.9%/96.3% of the three-field shooting rate and shooting 56.8% of the actual shooting rate.
In the last 8 games, Thompson has scored 20+ in 4 times, averaging 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 48.4%/44.6%/93.8% from three fields and shooting 62.8% from the field.
Thompson's state is really getting better.
And that's not just the offensive end, the defensive end, the Players Thompson has been in place this season, shooting 39.4 percent from 46.5 percent and three-point shooting from 34.9 percent to 25.0 percent — can you believe this is a player who has suffered both Achilles tendon rupture and Cruciate ligaments? And he's only been back a month.
In an interview after today's game, Thompson said: "The last two seasons are weird, I'm not good at watching games at home, honestly, I've been working hard because I haven't played in a long time, I won't lie, it's really hard in these two years, I spent a lot of time in rehabilitation and training, but it was all worth it. ”
Waiting is naturally difficult, but seeing that Thompson is like this now, no matter how much waiting is worth it, I hope that next we can see Thompson return to the state before the big injury, and the Warriors continue to walk on the road to the championship - the Warriors now have a record of 42 wins and 15 losses, the league is second, and Ku Chaitang - the trio with the highest winning percentage in history has only played for 7 seconds in total, wait until the whole team is healthy, shivering, the whole league.
