According to Golden State media reports: Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson has returned to the court, playing in 17 games for the team, averaging 25.2 minutes per game, contributing 17 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3 assists. Although the playing time is the lowest since the rookie season, the efficiency value on the court is obvious to all. Klay Thompson recovered from a knee and Achilles tendon injury, but management and the manager still tightly controlled playing time and made a full suspension in back-to-back games this season.
In the regular season, the Warriors coaching staff will control the Splash Brothers' playing time to 34 minutes to 36 minutes, but there are exceptions, Curry has broken the time definition many times this season; today, Warriors head coach Kerr participated in a radio show, when talking about Klay Thompson, he said that as the game deepens, Clay will slowly adapt to the intensity of the game and gradually return to the best state, and two months later, the playoffs of this season officially opened, and the playtime of the players on the team will increase, probably adjusted to 36 to 39 minutes. For Clay, the team hopes he can continue to improve, carrying 38 minutes without concern in the playoffs.
It's not easy to drag your scarred body for 38 minutes in the playoffs. The once Splash Brothers have proven themselves and successfully brought the team into a whole new era. The Warriors have begun to prepare for the playoffs, which can be seen in the determination to win the championship this year, but the core of the five small lineups - Dream Green - has been delayed in returning to the field due to waist injuries, and even the specific comeback time has not been given, and the former small ball storm may not be reproduced. Since February this season, the Warriors' forward player Cuminga is in a brave state, playing in 10 games, scoring double figures in 9 consecutive games, successfully entering the team's rotation lineup, the same position on the court and Dream Green, Kerr also deliberately replaced Dream Green's tactical position, becoming an important part of the team's new five small lineup.
Cumminga, 19, entered the draft last year and was selected by the Warriors with the 7th pick in the first round. Played in 47 games this season, averaging 8 points and 3 boards per game, shooting 33% from three-point range, good range can better open up space, but Cuminga's ability to cope is still lacking, he was given an important mission by Kerr at a young age, Green's injury gave the Warriors management more opportunities to cultivate Kuminga, but if Green can play in the past 20 games, he will not have so much playing time.
Cummingga is still young, the team management also has high hopes for him, he can have more opportunities, time to trial and error, constantly polish his skills, hone his mind, constantly familiar with the team's tactics, enrich his offensive means, once he completes such a set goal, he will become an upgraded version of Green, and the team can also successfully complete the transition. If Cumminga replaces Green and becomes the strongest brain in the entire five-team lineup, the Warriors will always be in the ranks of championship teams, this season Cuminga's performance exceeds the expectations of many fans, and the management did not expect that his potential is much greater than Wiseman, the young man can look forward to the future, and the Warriors' next All-Star is coming.
