The NBA regular season continues, ushering in a focus battle, the warriors in the second place in the West against the bucks in the third place in the East, the strong and strong showdown, no one knows who laughs to the end. In the first quarter, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and the Bucks countered the main 9-0 start, but the Warriors fired outside the second quarter and quickly erased the point difference, and the first quarter of the two sides were tied. In the second quarter Thompson exploded, hitting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and slashing 17 points, the Bucks trailed by 9 points to end the first half; the third quarter became a personal show for Poole, he scored 11 points in a row to open up the point difference, although the alphabet brother did not want to lose, the single quarter scored 14 points, but the Warriors simply could not stop, the point difference has been floating around 20 points, and finally the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with a huge advantage of 19 points, the dispute in the last quarter became garbage time, the two sides went on the bench to train, the two sides fought in four quarters, and finally, Warriors 122-109 Nick Bucks.
In this game, Thompson became the brightest star, he shot 15 of 24, including 8 of 14 three-pointers, scored 38 points, in addition to grabbing 6 rebounds and giving 5 assists, it is no exaggeration to say that this is Thompson's best game since injury. It is also the first time since March 2019 that he has cut a 35+ stat in a single game, and the "Buddha" familiar to fans has returned. As Holliday says, when Thompson's shot feel comes, all your efforts will become powerless. Although Alphabet Brother has a stable performance of 31 points and 8 rebounds, and his career total score has exceeded 14,000 points, it will eventually become a background wall for Thompson. Holliday and Middleton performed decently, combining to score 31 points. Curry only scored 8 points in this game, of course, this has something to do with his number of shots, only 7 shots in the whole game, which is too incredible for a top shooter, which also shows from the side that Curry is not a star who brushes the data, and when he found that Thompson felt hot, he took the initiative to give up the ball.
Poole said something very interesting after the game, saying that the MVP only scored 8 points and we could win. Poole's performance in this game is also remarkable, he scored 30 points on 9 of 16 shooting, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, which is also the combination of 30+ data in the second pair of the Warriors during the Kerr period, and only Curry and Durant have done it together before that. Not only that, but in the last six games, Poole has averaged 24.8 points and 4.8 assists per game, shooting 60%, 57% and 94% from the field, respectively, playing an All-Star level performance, as Kerr said, Poole should not only target the best sixth person in the league, he has the potential to become a star. It is worth mentioning that the Bucks' new signing Ibaka withdrew from the game after being punched to the eye during the game, hoping that he was not a big problem, he was one of the Bucks' championship puzzles.
