Warriors battle trailblazers
The Golden State Warriors originally gave up the competition for the first place in the West, but who would have thought that Chris Paul suffered an injury and would most likely not play in the regular season, in such a situation, the Warriors, who are 6.5 wins behind the Suns, undoubtedly ushered in an opportunity. In the first game after the All-Star, the Warriors had to challenge the Portland Trail Blazers. Green is still out, but the Splash Brothers can play, and the strength of the team is beyond doubt. As for the Blazers, the leaks came in the overnight rain, and Nurkic was injured.
Even so, the Blazers are not to be underestimated, they have a wave of four consecutive wins before the All-Star, Simmons Jr. is like the next Lillard, and Hart's magic ball play is perfectly integrated into the team. Now that the team has signed Spurs center Ubanks, his arrival will undoubtedly fill the gap in Nurkic's injury.
There was no suspense in the game
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Blazers' backcourt combination, Simmons Jr. and Hart, showed their strength. Simmons Jr. had 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 4-of-5 shooting, and Hart had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 4-of-4 shooting. Under the leadership of the two, the Blazers exploded 32 points in a single quarter, but the Warriors also scored 31 points, including Klay with 10 points and 3 rebounds, curry with 5 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists. After returning from the second quarter, Curry broke out completely, shooting 3 of 6 and 6 of free throws, and had 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the single quarter.
Under Curry' leadership, the Warriors briefly took a 20-point lead, but Simmons Jr. also had 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, helping the Blazers close the gap to 13 points at the end of the half. In the second half, Wiggins finally began to exert his strength, scoring 10 points and 1 rebound in a single quarter, and it is worth mentioning that Wiggins did not score a point in the first half of 5 shots. Although Curry did not score, but sent 4 assists in a single quarter, the Warriors successfully stretched the point difference to 27 points, it can be said that the game has lost suspense.
After returning from the last quarter, both teams switched directly to role players and announced that the game had entered garbage time. Even so, the Warriors' role players were superior, extending their lead to 37 points at one point. In the end, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 132-95 to win a 37-point victory and end the opponent's four-game winning streak.
Wiggins was stuffed
Wiggins has always had the title of healthy mamba, but this season, Wiggins was selected as an All-Star, and it is a starting status, and everyone feels that Wiggins will rise completely, but who can think that there is no change. In the first two quarters, Wiggins did not score a point of 5 shots, and in the last quarter, he directly clocked in after work, that is to say, in this game, Wiggins really exerted only the third quarter, and got 10 points and 1 rebound on 4 of 8 shots. At the end of the game, Wiggins shot 4 of 13, only 1 shot in the box, and got 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block, once again showing the stuffing.
Steven Curry is no longer obsessed with scoring, and has 18 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists, just look at the data, many fans may feel that this is Chris Paul's data. Clay also had 18 points, 56 rebounds and 2 assists, Cumminga had 17 points and 8 rebounds, and 8 members of the team scored in double figures, and 12 people came on, all of which scored. As for the Blazers, Simmons Jr. had 24 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Winslow had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and Hart and Williams had 12 points.
