On March 11, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Warriors beat the Nuggets 113-102. In this game, Curry, who fired 34 points, is naturally the biggest contributor to the Warriors' victory, and in addition to him, the player who plays best is Poole, who came off the bench.
Poole played 34 minutes and 14 seconds off the bench, with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists on 8-of-13 shooting, while he scored 29 points on the floor, ranking first in both teams, 11 points more than Second Place Curry.
In the final moments of the game, it was Poole who continuously blocked and cooperated with Curry, and then picked up his pass after Curry attracted the bag clip, hitting two big heart three-pointers in a row, completely ending the suspense of the game.
But even though Poole's form is so hot, averaging 16.6 points per game this season, he has been playing as a substitute since Klay Thompson's return. At first, there was no objection to the Warriors' approach, after all, Klay Thompson's position in the Warriors was far from being comparable to Poole.
But the problem is that I don't know whether it is because I haven't played for two years, or if I lost the 75 big one, I am stimulated, Klay Thompson seems to be eager to prove himself after his comeback, has been shooting a lot, and unlike the past, which is mainly to catch the ball and shoot, today's Klay Thompson, many times in the ball to attack, which does not match his technical characteristics. Although he also averaged 16.7 points per game, his shooting percentage was a full 4 percentage points lower than Poole's. In this game, Klay Thompson shot 20 times, but only hit 7 goals, and although 18 points was not small, his offensive efficiency was obviously too low.
Judging from the current competitive state, Poole has clearly outperformed Klay Thompson, but Kerr has always insisted on letting the latter start first, and the former replacing. This has already made some Warriors fans questionable, and before the return of Draymond Green, because both have a lot of playing time, the problem is not serious, but until Draymond Green returns, the Warriors are likely to face a dilemma of 2 choices of 1. Once this problem is not solved, then the Warriors will be buried in a time bomb, which may become a fatal hidden danger for the team in the playoffs.
