On March 2, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. According to the schedule, the Warriors will play the Timberwolves on the road today. According to previous reports, Thompson will continue to be absent due to illness. Thompson was exposed to illness on Feb. 27, and he missed last Sunday's game against the Lone Rangers.
Earlier today, Warriors general manager Miles was interviewed about the Warriors' recent developments, including Thompson's condition, saying, "Thompson will meet the team in Dallas and is scheduled to play on Friday [against the Lone Rangers], and he wants to play more than anyone. ”
Miles then talked about Green, Wiseman, Poole, Iguodala and other players in the interview, as follows:
On Green – "He has leadership and responsibility, and we need people like that to stick to the bottom line." When it comes to defense, he's an expert and he's known all his life how to defend. ”
On Wiseman – "The idea at the moment is for him to play a game in the development league before returning to the team. Hopefully, in the next one or two weeks, we'll find a suitable time for him to play. ”
Talk about Iguodala—" "If we want to make a difference in the playoffs, he's an important factor. It's not just his wisdom, he's a winner. ”
Talking about Poole — "He was back on the bench after Clay returned, which was a big adjustment for the team. But Poole has been doing the right thing, and for him personally it needs to be adjusted more, but it's really not an excuse, because even if you play from the bench you still have to perform, and it's the same for Wiggins. ”
So far, the Warriors have a record of 43 wins and 18 losses, temporarily second in the West, six wins behind the Suns. Miles said: "We definitely want the best rankings, but we can't risk putting players in trouble or getting injured to get there. The job of our management and coaching staff is to match the lineup, and we have to know how to make everything work and find our own rhythm in the last 20 games. ”
