The game exploded for 124 points, but lost to the opponent by 7 points, and the Warriors lost again. Looking back, people talking about how to beat the 73 Warriors would say that they just need to outperform them in terms of points. But now even if the Warriors bomb 120+ offense, it is still difficult to win, coupled with the loss to the Nuggets, the team has accumulated five consecutive losses, which is incompatible with the team that integrated attack and defense at the beginning of the season. Not only fans will wonder, ben fairy is also puzzled by this phenomenon: there are warriors who chase dreams without Klay have played the first record in the league, and warriors with Klay without dreams have frequently suffered defeats.
In fact, the topic of Wlay and Dream Chaser who is more important to the Warriors has triggered countless fans' discussions and countless answers. In fact, I can also understand the fans' minds, after all, they occupy different positions, and thus have different results. Clay's fans will naturally support him, and die-hard fans who chase dreams will certainly support their idols, but why should warriors fans be unhappy? Let's analyze it from a more objective and important point of view to see who has the greater influence.
In terms of three-point projection, Clay, as the superstar who shoots the most accurately in the second position, is naturally better; the dream-chasing organization and defense are beyond Clay's reach, and his huge influence on both offensive and defensive ends is irreplaceable. If you think about the value of the transaction, it may be that a healthy Clay is more valuable in the free market, but the angle we consider is: For the Warriors' offensive and defensive tactical system, which of the two will be more valuable and influential to the team? Or who is the most important star in the team after Curry?
In fact, from the perspective of the record, at least from the perspective of the current warrior's embarrassing situation, that person should belong to the dream. Why? Not that I am a dream-chasing fan, I like every player of the Warriors, but objectively depends on the Warriors' record. Talk about the importance of a player, then look at his irreplaceability in the team, how much his absence will affect the team's record?
At the peak of Klay, he was naturally also a superstar who integrated attack and defense, and the explosive power of scoring naturally did not need to be emphasized, and the defense of Lefu had no temper. However, he is not indispensable, at the beginning of the 21-22 season, Poole made up for the loss caused by Klay's absence, and the Warriors once played the league's first record, and Klay's three-point and outside defense are replaceable. And Green's absence, the Warriors' record has been declining, this is his irreplaceability; the Warriors need unlimited defensive ability and the ability to distribute the ball in the offensive and defensive conversion, no one on the team can achieve the level of Green.
So you can see why Jokic is still unstoppablely efficient in this game, it is because the Warriors' interior defense is too weak. But experiencing a wave of five consecutive defeats is not only because of Green's absence, but also because of Cole's lack of courage. When Clay returned from injury, both his shooting percentage and his three-point shooting percentage declined, especially at 37.1 percent from three-point range, not less than 40 percent in any previous season. As a result, his personal competitive personality also makes him eager to prove himself, and there are too many reluctant ball-holding attacks in the game, which loses the characteristics of the past and inhibits the attack of role players such as Poole to some extent.
Of course, in addition to his personal problems, Clay's ball holding role has also been absent, and his three-point power without the ball has been greatly reduced. But Cole, as the manager, could not persuade Clay to start from the bench, after all, Clay arrived in the team earlier than him. But popovich of the Spurs, even if it is a superstar like Duncan, is still pressed on the bench when he is not in good shape, and he even lets a Finals MVP like Parker to develop the league to find a state. But Cole does not have such boldness, this is the huge gap between him and Popovich, how to make the players obedient to themselves, this is a very profound science.
However, the Warriors completely activated the state of the role players in this game: Poole played 34 minutes, shooting 11 of 19, including 8 of 12 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and cut 32 points, 3 boards and 7 assists. Moody started with 36 minutes and 28 seconds, 10-of-23 shooting, 5-of-12 three-pointers, 5-of-6 free throws, a career-high 30 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. Cumminga scored 16 points and four rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, as well as one three-pointer and three free throws. Kerr should encourage them to score offense when they have the opportunity, rather than to lose good opportunities by suppressing themselves for fear of others.
In addition, Dream Chaser has recently begun to do some light activities on the field, and he will continue to increase his exercise volume. Dreamcatcher revealed on his podcast today that he intends to make a comeback on March 15 at the Wizards game. At that time, we will have the opportunity to see the return of that Warriors team at the beginning of the season again, are you looking forward to it?
