The Warriors did not perform well after the All-Star game, once suffered 5 consecutive losses, the ranking was also overtaken by the Grizzlies, slipped to the third place in the West, fortunately in the last two games, the team picked up in time, achieved two consecutive wins, otherwise the ranking is expected to fall further, and we note that the Warriors in the recent schedule, the reason for the poor performance, and the team's small forward Wiggins played poorly Has an important connection, it is worth mentioning that in the previous Cleveland All-Star Game, Wiggins was elected as the Western Conference starter.
In the 7 games after the All-Star Game, Wiggins's highest score was only 18 points, and there was no one in seven games shooting more than half, another very exaggerated data is Wiggins's free throw shooting rate, according to statistics, Wiggins won a total of 16 free throws, but he only won 4 free throws, for Wiggins' performance, many fans also noticed, recently there are constant voices saying that Poole and Cumminga replaced Wiggins as the Warriors starter, you know, just less than 1 month ago, Wiggins is also the division starter of the All-Star Game, and now in less than a month, it is possible to be replaced by two young players who have recently entered the industry, which is a very surprising thing, because these two young players have played well in recent games, and the reason why the Warriors have recently picked up has a lot to do with the performance of the two young players. Poole has scored more than 20+ in 5 consecutive games, and Cumminga has scored more than 15+ in the last 4 games, and both of them have maintained a very efficient shooting rate, and now Wiggins, in the performance of the All-Star Game, the average score per game has been surpassed by these two youngsters, you know, at the beginning of the season, Wiggins was the team's second-largest scorer, and shot a higher shooting rate than Curry, once reaching 43 percent, but now it is only 38 percent.
When it comes to Wiggins' performance, Warriors coach Kerr also pointed out his problems and gave Wiggins confidence, Kerr said when talking about Wiggins' free throw problem: "I just told him that this kind of thing can happen to anyone. The most important thing for Wiggins is to continue to attack the basket and play aggressively. Indeed, for Wiggins, watching him play is too Buddhist, basically after receiving the ball, he pretends to start shooting, and Wiggins' own shooting rate is not very high, often accompanied by shooting iron.
Due to the current poor performance, Wiggins's average score per game this season has slipped to 17 points, shooting 47%, but his free throw shooting rate is only 62 percent, you know, his career free throw shooting rate is 71 percent, although it is not a very high statistic, but compared to his recent data, but much higher, Wiggins is bound to make adjustments when the playoffs are coming, whether it is for the team or for himself, It is necessary for Wiggins to make changes. As the 2014 champion show, Wiggins has been in the league for 8 years, it is not short, if the Warriors such an inclusive team still can not play a good performance, or in such a Buddhist play, and rely on his own defense, he will have a foothold in the league, but can not support him to get the salary contract he got before.
