Wiseman's right knee is swollen or reimbursed, Curry's left foot ligament is strained, and Cole is so calculating that he is busy in vain!
【Inside Pillar / Hopeless Comeback】
★ On March 20, 2022, Beijing time, according to foreign media reporter Anthony Slater, wiseman in 2020 temporarily postponed his comeback due to a diagnosis of swelling in his right knee; Warriors coach Steve Kerr said in an interview with reporters that warrior management is still discussing whether to reimburse Wiseman for the season.
Wiseman averaged 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds per game last season and shot 51.9 percent from the field; Wiseman suffered a serious injury with a torn meniscus last April.
【One wrong move, full of loss】
★ To be fair, the Warriors' performance this season is really eye-catching, Kerr once led the Warriors to the top of the league list at the beginning of the game with basically no change in the lineup, but with the halfway through the schedule, the Warriors' shortcomings and weaknesses gradually appeared; first of all, the Warriors' dependence on Curry was very serious, Curry's initial state was hot, and the Warriors also won consecutive victories under Curry's leadership, but with the decline in Curry's physical strength and offensive efficiency, the Warriors' record was gradually surpassed by the Suns and Grizzlies; secondly, the Warriors' internal line was indeed no one Although the 21-year-old Cumminga's performance this season has been eye-catching, he is only 19 years old after all, and fans should not expect too much from him, as evidenced by the Warriors' successive losses to the Nuggets, Jazz and Pacers in the regular season.
Curry has averaged 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season, shooting 43.7 percent from the field and 38 percent from three-point range.
Cumminga has averaged 9.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game this season and shot 50.8 percent from the field.
【Transaction Deadline/No Buying】
★ It's puzzling that while the Warriors have no one inside this season, they did nothing as the trade deadline approaches; there were some strong unsigned interior players in the league at the time, such as the Warriors' veteran Cousins, but the Warriors turned a blind eye to it.
△ Cousins has played for the Bucks and Warriors this season, and his performance is still remarkable; Cousins has played in 17 games for the Bucks, averaging 9.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game; Cousins, who did not get a contract extension in the Bucks, finally came to Denver, where he was successful in the Nuggets, averaging 9.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 44.4%.
【Flying Disaster】
★ In the eyes of the Warriors management, the Warriors offense mainly relies on Curry, Wiggins, Poole, Klay four people, as long as Wiseman can return to the team full of blood, the inner line where Green, Cumminga, and Wiseman are located is enough to cope with this year's playoffs; but no one thought that there was an unexpected storm in the sky, and the news that Wiseman might be reimbursed for the season came at the end of the regular season, which caught the Warriors' whole team off guard; what's worse, Curry injured his ligaments in the Warriors' game with the Celtics. Although Curry was able to return from injury before the start of the playoffs, no one knows whether his form will be affected by this injury.
To make matters worse, Cousins, who was not signed by the Warriors, was eventually taken over by the Nuggets, and judging from the current rankings, the Warriors' first-round opponents in the playoffs are most likely the Nuggets with Jokic and Cousins; facing the former chief center and the current league's chief center, the Two Tower Nuggets, the Warriors want to rely solely on Green and Cummingga to guard the inside line.
Jokic has averaged 26 points, 13.7 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game this season, shooting 57.5 percent from the field and 34.8 percent from three-point range, and Jokic is the favourite for the most valuable player in the regular season this season.
【A little opinion】
★ If the Warriors could sign Cousins with a base salary after the All-Star Game, perhaps they would be in a much better situation now, and the Warriors with Cousins, Cuminga, and Dream Chaser would at least not be stretched in the playoffs' interior line!
