On March 9, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 112-97 at home, ending a 5-game losing streak. In this game, the Warriors blossomed more: Cumminga scored a team-high 21 points, Poole and Klay each scored 20 points, Curry scored 15 points, and Wiggins got a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time that Klay Thompson has won 20+ in a single game after the All-Star Game. Over the past few games, Thompson's form has fluctuated greatly. Facing the Lakers on the road, Thompson only had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-13 shooting, which was a big disappointment.
And today's game against the Clippers, Klay Thompson started the game with the same bad feeling. In the first quarter, Clay hit just two of his nine shots. But in the following game, Clay was 7 of 14 and gradually regained his shooting feel. In the game, Clay shot 9-of-23, including 2-of-9 from three-point range, and had 20 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.
For the performance of his old partner Klay Thompson, Curry also gave positive advice. "Continue to be aggressive," he said. You're Klay Thompson. Never forget this. Curry's words were very timely. During this time, there are constantly fans who question Thompson's wave throw. But if Thompson doesn't shoot, is he still Thompson?
During the live broadcast of the Warriors' game, NBA commentator Yang Yi talked about this. Teacher Yang Yi said: "Fans should not be afraid of Thompson's missing shot. He's the league's top pitcher, and his shooting confidence doesn't falter just because he doesn't play well in a few games. For the Warriors to achieve something in the playoffs, they must let Thompson regain the feel of shooting. ”
After two major injuries, Thompson's scoring explosiveness did decline. But as Yang Yi said, Clay is still the top scorer in this league, and he has the possibility of erupting at any time. In the final stages of the regular season, the Warriors can indeed let Thompson shoot one more shot and find his shooting feel as soon as possible.
