Talking about the Warriors, the Warriors, who were once optimistic at the beginning of the season, have recently suffered a record of one win and four losses, and it is inevitable that some fans will begin to question, what is wrong with the Warriors? Is Green's absence really that big for the Warriors? Compared with the first half of the regular season, the Warriors' record has dropped significantly, the most obvious of which is Curry.
Seeing the current Warriors can't help but remind people of last season's them, when Curry was really strong, Green was healthy, and Wiggins also showed good ability, but the Warriors did not play too good, the playoffs were directly eliminated, even if it was the beginning of the season, the Warriors were not a good team. But after they experienced offseason reinforcements, the warriors of the new season once let us see the figure of the dynasty period, all the players performed their duties, Curry did not have to play so tired, the perfect system and skilled cooperation, so that the Warriors once ranked at the top of the league.
However, all this changed after the arrival of the New Year, Green was out of the game due to injury, Klay returned from injury, and when they thought the Warriors could move on, their performance was disappointing, and in the last five games, the Warriors had conceded 111 points, 116 points, 115 points, 119 points and 117 points, which was obviously far higher than their average of points per game. Of course, the Warriors are not only down their defense, but also their offense, at the beginning of the season, the Warriors' offense was once the first in the league, but so far, the Warriors' average score per game has slipped to 110.6 points, the level of the middle of the league, to know that the Warriors are a team that advocates offense, and it is obviously unqualified to come up with such offensive efficiency. Why did the Warriors suddenly go down? Xiao Feng felt that there were three reasons:
Green's absence may have the greatest impact, the inside line of Looney alone is struggling to support, although the Warriors have a deep guard group and a front group, but their interior line is often broken by the opponent, in fact, this is also the reason why the Warriors have been losing recently, if Green is present, it can form a certain protective effect on Looney, many people feel that Green is important to Curry, but Xiao Feng feels that his protection of the inside line is more important.
The big three did not form a tacit understanding, although the big three are still the original big three, but Clay's return to a large extent broke the existing balance, with the increase of age, injury has become a factor that must be considered, the decline in Curry's state Many people feel that there are more people who can play, Curry's appropriate decentralization is a protective effect on him, but the decline in shooting rate is an indisputable fact, Clay is still unstable, Greene has not returned from injury, two-thirds of the schedule has passed, and the Warriors have a long way to go.
Of course, there is the most important reason, that is, the Warriors are already in the early stage of preparing for the playoffs, to be honest, whether it is the interior line or stability does not need to worry too much, the return of Wiseman and Green will make the Warriors' internal line to remain competitive again, of course, there is Curry this point, we look at it on the surface, Curry's data is declining, but it must be admitted that Kerr's protection of Curry is too good. We now see Kerr frequent changes, in fact, for the playoffs to prepare, the current Warriors have been pulled apart by the Suns, it is too difficult to catch up, but the difficulty of retaining the second position is not too big, the Warriors can play too many people, the regular season has entered the second half of the stage, Kerr laid out in advance, which is also like his style.
Well, today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
