In the game between the Warriors and the Spurs, the performance of The MouthGower Wiggins was once again disappointing, in the absence of players such as Curry, he was the main front of the team, he was not able to step forward in the game, and also lost a lot of goals in key moments. In the whole game, the mouth brother started for 33 minutes, 5 of 13 shots, and only got 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-0 three-pointers, and his personal performance was not ideal.
In fact, since the All-Star Weekend, the performance of the mouth brother has been very disappointing, the data shows that in the game after the All-Star Weekend, the mouth brother played a total of 9 games, only when facing the Bucks, the mouth brother got 20+ points, the rest of the game scores are below 20 points, in the game against the Nuggets, the mouth brother even played a single 7 points performance, the performance can be described as very sluggish.
After the All-Star Weekend, in the 9 games he played, he could only get 14.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, shooting 39.8%, 30% of the three-point shooting rate, and only 44.4% of the free throw shooting rate, compared with the average of 19+ points per game before the All-Star Weekend, the three-point shooting rate exceeded 40%, and after the All-Star weekend, the mouth brother was completely lost. As an All-Star starter, Zuizu's performance after the All-Star end was undoubtedly disappointing, and many people thought that he was the most watery All-Star starter in the history of the league.
Brother Zui's performance after All-Star Weekend was very bad, and his presence in the game and his help to the team was even worse than Cuminga, so the question is, in the case of Kuminga's rapid growth, why didn't Kerr let Kuminga replace Zuizun as the team's starting front?
In fact, Kerr is not in a hurry for the state of the mouth brother, he has always believed that the mouth brother can get back to the state before the All-Star weekend, so even in his continuous downturn, Kerr still insists on letting the mouth brother take the position of the Warriors' starting front, and gives him a stable playing time and the ball to let him find the state in the game.
For Kerr, the team's goal this season is not to achieve much in the regular season, as long as it can enter the playoffs, any kind of results can be accepted. The Warriors' goal this season is to storm the championship, and the team values the playoffs more than the regular season. For now, Zuizu is the most trusted player on the Warriors' front, and although he is not stable enough on the offensive end and often pulls his crotch, in the playoffs, the team needs his defense, especially against teams with strong forwards, Kerr needs Zuiko to contribute to the team on the defensive end.
After all-Star Weekend, although the mouth brother did not perform well offensively, he was always online on the defensive end, and in many cases, the mouth brother was the number one star of the main defense, consuming the opponent, and the ability of the mouth brother on the defensive end was also what the Warriors needed. Therefore, For Zui brother in the continuous downturn in the game, Kerr is actually not in a hurry, because the team's goal is the playoffs, Zui Brother is an indispensable player in the current Warriors team, in the playoffs, he is expected to become the key player to determine the trend of a series.
