Wiggins's change
Curry's roll call, Cole's dissatisfaction, finally gave Wiggins a little self-knowledge. Before the All-Star, the battle felt good, Wiggins constantly floated near the three-point line to jump shots, which is of course the easiest way to play. However, after the All-Star, Wiggins's feel began to decline, and in this situation, he played a bad personal performance, so he was also criticized by fans and the team. Recently, however, it has become apparent that Wiggins has begun to constantly impact the basket and change the way he plays.
Wiggins' change is very important to the Golden State Warriors. Not only is Wiggins' breakthrough more likely than jumper scoring, but the main reason is that when Wiggins starts to break through, opponents will shrink the box, and the Warriors' shooter base will naturally get more opportunities. After all, the Warriors have players who are threatened to break through, and there are really very few.
Johnson staged a deadly killing
Wiggins made a comeback in this game against the San Antonio Spurs, but Stephen Curry was unable to play due to injury. In such a situation, the team naturally hopes that Wiggins can score more points on the field. At the beginning of the first quarter, Wiggins made 3 shots, all of which were to hit the basket, but only hit 1 goal, got 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, the Warriors felt very bad for the whole team, the team only scored 22 points, and the Spurs took a 14-point lead. After returning from the second quarter, the Warriors sounded the clarion call of counterattack.
Poole and Klay scored back-to-back goals, leading the Warriors to 35 points in a single quarter, but Wiggins shot 1-of-4, with only 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and the only goal came from a layup. Fortunately, at the end of the Warriors' half, they still narrowed the point difference to 8 points. In the second half, Wiggins shot 1 of 3 again, but strengthened his offensiveness, causing his opponent to commit 3 fouls, relying on free throws to get 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. The Spurs were caught in a scoring drought, scoring only 20 points in a single quarter, and the Warriors managed to surpass by one point.
After returning from the final quarter, Wiggins hit two consecutive shots at key moments to keep the Warriors' hope of winning. In the final moments, however, Wiggins missed a chance to seal the victory with two free throws. Peltel made two free throws, but Kelden Johnson grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a second offense to help the San Antonio Spurs beat the Golden State Warriors 110-108.
Didn't play health basketball
Although the Golden State Warriors lost the game, Wiggins shot 5-of-13, only 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, very typical Wiggins-style data, many fans will feel that he is playing health basketball again, but this is not the case. In this game, Wiggins, most of the offense, is near the basket, only 3 three-point shots, causing 6 fouls on the opponent, scoring 9 free throws, from here it can be seen that he is trying to impact the box, unfortunately, the ability to finish and the ability to shoot, really need to be improved.
This may be the real strength of Wiggins, so there is no need to blame, after all, on the defensive end, Wiggins's performance is still remarkable. Clay shot 9-of-22 from the field and 6-of-12 from three-point range to get 24 points and three rebounds, Poole had 28 points, five rebounds and three assists, and Porter Jr. on the bench had 16 points and 16 rebounds, including eight frontcourt rebounds. However, the Spurs had 6 people score in double figures, and Richardson on the bench had 25 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 8-of-12 shooting, and the two reverse eyes were also very good, Murray 19 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Johnson 14 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, plus a killer shot.
The only thing that can be said is that the Warriors lacked a little luck in their last moments. Cole didn't know who to blame, so he had to complain to the referee after the game. As for Dream Green, he returned to the starting lineup, but only played 18 minutes, got 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and was expelled from the game.
