While chasing the championship, he completed the rebuilding of the team. In the whole league, I am afraid that only the Warriors can be so lucky. The Splash Brothers are still at their peak, and warriors can touch the Golden Cup with thorns and thorns. Wiseman has unlimited potential and can fully support the restored sky in the post-Curry era. Wiseman, who was reimbursed for a knee injury last season, is about to make a comeback. What does his comeback mean for the current Warriors?
The Successive Losses of the Warriors All-Stars have given us a glimpse of the problems that exist with the team. Especially on the defensive end, it can be described as useless. The reason the Warriors didn't reinforce the No. 5 position in the free market was because they pinned all their hopes on Wiseman. Wiseman is 2.13m tall and weighs 110kg, with flexible footsteps and good rim-guarding ability. Wiseman's comeback can improve the quality of the interior defense on the defensive end, and the offensive end can also simply become a single-player explosion point, enriching the Warriors' offensive system. But at present, the Warriors are still Curry's team, and Wiseman must find a way to integrate into the team's existing system as soon as possible if he wants to better cash in on his talent.
The years when the Warriors reached the Finals were entirely dependent on their own gorgeous offense. The player's superb projection skills + constant passing of the running position gave the Warriors the best record in history of 73 wins and 9 losses. In the years of winning the championship, the Warriors also relied on their absolute advantage in the front line to defeat their opponents. But in order to deal with various types of opponents in the playoffs, the Warriors still stocked a number of meat shield center centers such as McGee, Bogut and Pachuria in the No. 5 position. But everyone understands that maximizing the value of the Splash Brothers is an essential element for the Warriors to win the championship. Green, on the other hand, is the best catalyst for splashing water.
Green is short and doesn't have the ability to shoot, but he's a player with a very high ball quotient. He is the planner of the team's half-time position battle, the Warriors' defensive gate, and the emotional mobilizer on the court. It is precisely because of Green's dirty work and tiring grasp that there is a pleasing game for the Warriors. Therefore, Green's absence is the main reason for the Warriors' unstable record. Wiseman, who has high hopes from the Warriors' management, must make changes at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends if he wants to help the team to the maximum.
Last season because Thompson was reimbursed for the season, Kerr gave Wiseman a lot of opportunities to perform. But Wiseman's performance was not satisfactory. Wiseman, like James and Bryant, directly participated in the NBA draft in high school because of his talent, and was removed by the Warriors as a leaderboard. With no college league experience, Wiseman relies on the NBA to adapt to the intensity of the confrontation and the rhythm of the game. Defensively, Wiseman is often eaten by strong centers inside. When the basket is released, it is also very easy to be shaken by the opponent. Being pulled to the outside line of the big defense, and because the lateral speed is too slow, it often appears to be a situation of being passed by one step.
On the offensive end, Wiseman did not have a strong sense of position, and the timing of the choice of shot was not good. Last season, Wiseman had 42.5 percent of his shots from the middle range, yet his mid-range shooting percentage was only 31.4 percent. Athletes of this type should attack the basket more to create lethality, rather than blindly obsessing over mid-range shooting. Wiseman's blocking quality is also not good, because the team members are eager to go down after blocking the demolition, making it difficult for the ball carrier to get rid of the defender to create a good scoring opportunity. After Wiseman received the ball, because of improper handling, he often suffered from steals and shots.
In addition, the Warriors' internal and external passes, weak side cover, no-ball running positions, etc., make the game become smooth and flowing, wiseman did not really understand, to integrate. This requires Wiseman to lower his stature and learn more from Greene and Looney. When to choose a shot? When to choose to cover down? When to choose a pass? These are the focuses of Wiseman's learning and improvement. Once Wiseman learns to attack efficiently and block with high-quality passes, then he will play a unique role in improving the overall strength of the Warriors.
Halfway through the season, the Warriors have proven themselves to be a great team. With a wide range of injuries on players, the Warriors can still play the second best record in the league. In the current state of the Warriors, they will make the playoffs with a top three in the West. Once the Lakers reach the playoffs, the challenge that belongs to the Warriors officially begins.
If the Warriors want to go further in the playoffs, in addition to Curry, Thompson, and Green can play effectively, the Warriors' No. 5 position must also be improved. Wiseman's comeback undoubtedly gave Warriors fans great expectations. After all, regardless of game experience, Wiseman's physical talent is the only existence in the Warriors. As long as Wiseman can polish his skills in the remaining games and integrate into the team's system. Well, his role in the playoffs is irreplaceable.
Since the breakup of the Five-Star Warriors, the teams that have won championships in recent years have not only the team's super front, but also their interior configuration is also luxurious. From 19 years of Ibaka and Gasol Jr., to 20 years of Thick Eyebrows, McGee, Howard, and then to 21 years of Alphabet Brother and Big Lopez. Their team has a vital role to play on the road to victory. At this stage, if the Warriors want to rush out of the Wild West, they must be ready to accept the challenges of the Suns, Jazz, Nuggets and other teams.
The Suns' first-place record in the regular season has proven that the team's offensive and defensive ends belong to the top of the league. In addition to the needle leads of Booker and Paul, the inner line also hoarded Ayton, McGee, Billy Bo and other offensive and defensive toughsters. The Jazz have been gaining momentum in recent years, with mitchell + outside shooters in addition to the team's best defensive player Gobert on the inside. The Jazz have introduced a double 20 inside big white side, the team's attack may be blocked for a while, but their defense has always been in the outside state.
Look at the Nuggets that the Warriors are likely to encounter in the first round of the playoffs. Jokic single-handedly brought the Nuggets to sixth place in the West. The most important thing is that the Nuggets will welcome a comeback from Murray and Porter Jr. in March. The two will greatly share the pressure on Jokic offensively. The team has brought in Cousins, and his combination of interior lines with Jokic will be an important offensive weapon for the Nuggets in the playoffs.
Although the Warriors have Looney and Green sitting on the inside line, after all, due to height limitations, they will be deficient in the defensive end. Wiseman is different, his height, weight, arm span and movement, static talent can match any of the league's top centers. The most important thing is that Wiseman is only 20 years old and extremely malleable. If he can position himself correctly, grow steadily. Then he can definitely be the league's top interior. Over time, whether you like to admit it or not, Wiseman will become irreplaceable in the Warriors!
