The 2021-22 NBA regular season continues, with a focus battle between the mighty Golden State Warriors and title-winning Milwaukee Bucks. In the end, the more powerful Warriors used the outstanding performance of Klay Thompson, Poole and other main players to defeat the powerful Bucks 122-109 without suspense. It is worth mentioning that the Warriors' star Stephen Curry easily won the game before he could play.
In this game, the Warriors' main players played very well. Among them, the absolute core forward Wiggins slashed 21 points and 6 boards, Curry only 7 shots to win 8 points and 8 assists, Thompson scored 38 points, 6 boards and 5 assists on 8 of 14 three-pointers, Poole slashed 30 points, 6 boards and 5 assists, and Cuminga also had 14 points and 11 board data into the account. In contrast, the Bucks' star Alphabet Brother Antetokounmpo scored 31 points and 8 boards, Middleton contributed 18 points and 6 assists, Holliday bombed 13 points and 7 assists, and Ibaka also had 15 points and 6 boards.
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors and Bucks' offense played very smoothly. The Warriors took the lead with Curry's sheer strength, but Alphabet Brother and Middleton led the team to an offensive climax and quickly caught up. The Warriors continued to keep their shooting percentage high, but Holliday frantically made three-point shots to help the Bucks bite the score. Holliday feels good, but the Warriors' Thompson is more aggressive. The Warriors tried to pull the score apart with an offensive advantage that everyone was fighting, but the Bucks relied on the alphabet brother to just bite the score.
In the second half, the Warriors stepped up their offense, and Poole scored three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game to help the Warriors take a nearly 20-point lead. Alphabet brothers rushed to the inside to stop the bleeding, but the Warriors once again extended their lead with Thompson's big explosion. In the final quarter, Thompson and Middleall's gains on the offensive end were unstoppable presences. Clay's dominance on the offensive end was even better, with the Bucks trying to fight back but unable to narrow the score. Curry's three-pointer also scored, and Thompson once again made a steady mid-range shot to help the Warriors win the game easily.
Like other teams' previous tactics of winning the Warriors, the Bucks continue to try to pack Stephen Curry indefinitely, trying to once again blow up the Warriors without Dream Green. However, Coach Kerr's game directly put Curry in the role of Green. In the face of the Bucks' menacing offense, Curry did not choose more individual offense at all, but instead made a high-level strategy on the outside line and revitalized the whole team's offense. After Curry took most of his opponent's bag, Clay's one-on-one attack without the ball was almost insoluble.
With Klay fully open, the Bucks were forced to focus their defense on Klay Thompson. At this time, the offensive feel of the hot Poole seized the opportunity to play an offensive climax again, and the offensive end of the entire Warriors team was almost unstoppable. With Poole and Klay's offensive feel high, the rest of the Warriors also got a lot of opportunities. In the end, the Bucks could not narrow the gap in the score, losing to the Warriors who did not have the main forces such as Dream Green and Upton Jr.
In summary, perhaps Clay can return to his peak level at least to ensure that the Warriors reach the Finals.
