The Warriors' prospects for the title are slim? Wiggins was embarrassed, and the transformed Thompson sharp was no longer sharp
Winning solves everything, and if the Warriors win, no one cares how effective Thompson's playing style change is, doesn't delve into how much Curry sacrificed in an offensive environment that doesn't fit, or even stops discussing whether Wiggins can compete for the most watery All-Star starter.
Avoiding the Nuggets' sharp edge, back-to-back full preparation for the Clippers to win and stop the bleeding, for the Warriors who lost 9 in the first 11 games of this battle, the status quo is like a fish belly, although there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of one city and one place too early, strictly control the hidden dangers of injuries, and take a timely break from the main force, which is definitely the most secure choice.
The prospect of the championship has long been less optimistic than two months ago, and the "quasi-four-star warrior" is more like another irony.
Thompson has just recovered from a major injury, staged a dream back to the peak, a wave of blood-boiling single-rider saviors, and there is also no shortage of cerebral hemorrhage war criminal-level ultra vires output, only from the functional point of view, Thompson is no longer the golden state dynasty of the original piece of the universal puzzle.
The defensive end is not mentioned for the time being, Thompson's single defense traverse, the decline in the elasticity of the change defense is the inevitable result of successive overhauls, and at the peak of his time, he is not known for his contribution to the defense, and it is not surprising to withdraw from the ranks of first-class sharp soldiers, mainly talking about the "sudden change" on the offensive end.
So far this season, Thompson's possession rate of 28.7% is a career high, incidentally delivering the lowest true shooting rate of his career (52.8% outside the league's 250th place, combined with the USG% correction is also in the inefficient ranks), the proportion of three-point shots exceeded 50% for the first time, and the assist rate was a new low in the past five seasons.
On the one hand, chasing the dream of Green has not returned, the team's passing fluency can not be guaranteed, Thompson needs more ball development to control the rhythm, creating hand space is also forgivable, but unfortunately everything is gradual, and the speed is not reached.
Thompson tried to eliminate the impact of his own level decline by increasing the main offensive role of holding the ball, proving that his sharpness was still the same, plug and play, and the result would only be counterproductive.
"Don't hand the knife to the hero", we all understand this human feeling.
But the problem is that Thompson is in the championship team, and the "ball-holding power reform" is really not conducive to the team. Even if it is said to prepare for the playoffs early and drive the ducks to the shelves to add the main attack point with the ball, it still cannot fundamentally reduce the burden for Curry.
Although it will not be directly sentenced to death, under the existing sample, Thompson is undoubtedly a premium for the Warriors.
Sooner or later, Wiggins will be regurgitated by public opinion.
Sooner or later, this "unworthy" hat will be put on his head, and if there is no accident, these people are the ones who held him up to the sky with their own hands and shouted that they deserved it.
Wiggins "showed up" after the declaration, the All-Star has only averaged 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 39.8% shooting percentage per game, the three-point crosshair fell to 34.4%, and the 30.8% free throws are a tribute to another Yuanlang.
After leaving Minnesota, he did evolve into an excellent wing single defender, frequently taking over the task of taking over the main attacker, but "defensive conscientiousness" should never be a talisman for Wiggins, after all, 30 million annual salary is the level of the top 25 in the league.
Wiggins is not only in terms of offensive desire, the lack of combined ball ability is still the bottleneck that limits him further - the level of passing control is extremely limited, the main attack can not guarantee efficiency and lack of aggression, and so on. The reduction of power to improve the effect, in the warrior glow is just the best of people's talents, as for the so-called "wolfberry mamba" and "civil servant health control points" a saying, it is really too much to play.
At the end of the day, Wiggins is the beneficiary of the system, the Warriors win with soup, lose with the suffering, and the real contribution to the victory really can't match the All-Star level.
To complain about the trade deadline before the soldiers did not move, did not take the rookie lottery ticket discount, reinforcements to strengthen the inside line, meaningless.
At present, the Warriors' base salary dividend is almost eaten, and the Bjelica magic is no longer there; the team is too superstitious to pass, Kerr's rotation is sparse, and the streamlined rotation is imminent; Rooney's support for the penalty area is on the verge of collapse, the drop in height has led to the opening of the inner line, and the defensive basic plate advantage no longer exists.
The only thing that can play the savior is probably to wait for Green to return with full blood and save the defense, and Curry strives to usher in a correction in a more suitable environment and re-provoke the beam.
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
