In the Warriors' home game against the Bucks, Kerr took the initiative to change the lineup, and both Curicle and Poole were promoted to the starting point in the backcourt. In the beginning, it's hard to say what changes have changed for Clay, because he lost both of his opening shots.
At this time, I calmly said in the group: "Clay no longer has the feeling of being able to enter with a shot." That's exactly how Clay does feel when he returns from injury, except for the occasional highlight, clay plays far more rounds than he scores.
It didn't take long, however, for Clay to come out and punch him in the face. At the beginning of the second quarter, Clay hit three three-pointers in a row, and the three three-pointers did not dribble once, but directly chose to shoot after receiving the ball.
In a minute and a half, Thompson's three three-pointers set chase center on fire and stopped the Bucks. After the timeout, the Bucks could no longer give Clay the space to easily shoot and force Clay to dribble.
When you thought Clay would force a shot or make a mistake after dribbling, Clay's handling of the ball became smarter and he found a teammate in a better position. Then on the second offense, shoot a very difficult forward three-pointer, and hit four three-pointers in a row!
In the final moments of the half, Clay hit another three-pointer. Throughout the second quarter, Clay scored 17 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 6-of-6 three-pointers on 6-of-7 shooting. In the half, Clay shot 8-of-12 and 5-of-8 from three-point range, finishing with 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
After 33 points against the Lakers, Clay returned to the Land Immortals. In the previous 21 games, Clay averaged only 16.8 points, 2.9 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game, and today he scored 21 points at halftime. Sorry Clay, it was a little louder when I just blacked you out.
In the third quarter, the Warriors played an 11-0 attack wave, this time it was Poole's turn to open, hitting three three-pointers in 11 points, and the Warriors completely pulled the point difference apart. Poole and Clay drove at the same time, and the Warriors' firepower was truly terrifying.
In the second half, Clay continued to fire, with 8 points in the third quarter and 9 points in the fourth quarter. Clay shot 15-of-24 from the field and 8-of-14 from three-point range, scoring 38 points, six rebounds and five assists. Even in Clay's peak years, such performances and statistics are enough to blow a wave.
Poole also threw in five three-pointers today to get 30 points, the real Splash Brothers combined to get 68 points, and the fake Splash Brother Curry only made 7 shots today to get 8 points and 8 assists.
Today's death to suppress the Bucks, the Warriors did it in curry paddling Green's absence. By the time Green returns, this team will only be more terrifying than it is now. Championship contending ranks, never exclude the Warriors.
