That's right, this is another article to whitewash the mouth mushrooms! Recently, my Brave fans have been eager to directly dismiss the mouth brother of the Warriors player identity, there is a voice firmly said, the offseason must send away the mouth brother to help Ku Mingga, and even the transaction plan has been thought out, take the mouth brother to replace Wei Shao! How to say it? How did Wiggins play this season and inexplicably "health"? In the middle of the pre-season, Wiggins had one word: Brave! It was really brave, it really affected the game from both ends of the attack and defense, although many games were eighteen or nineteen points, but often it was eighteen or nineteen points in the third quarter, and Wiggins at that time was quite fierce, averaging 23 points per game at one time, and the shooting rate exceeded 50%.
However, the bar played Wiggins on an inexplicable slump, from a month's single game to score no more than 20 points, and then to the All-Star after the free throw shooting rate of only about 30%, Wiggins's downturn was more than a month. What about mushrooms? Of course, the most important influencing factor is actually Thompson's comeback that affects the play of the mouth brother on the offensive end. Of course, this must be admitted, Wiggins is indeed affected by Thompson's comeback, the tactical position is declining, the ball is declining, coupled with the rise of Poole, the growth of the "Digga combination", leaving Wiggins with little space to play, he does not have so many tactics.
But these factors are objective factors, where are the subjective factors? Actually, it is a change of location! The Warriors often started the first half of the season with Curry, Wiggins, Green, Rooney and Poole! At this time, Wiggins played a third-digit role, and this position Wiggins was very good at holding. In the third position, as long as it is not the kind of James, Durant-level super talent freak, Wiggins generally has an advantage. Although the tonnage is not enough, the lower plate strength and core strength are full, the arm span is wider than that of the players in the same position, and the athletic ability is also stronger.
Coupled with the fact that Wiggins will eat a lot of misalignment, he can almost casually punish the opponent when facing some first and second players, so the pressure of the mouth brother is not very large, because the players in place on the offensive end are very easy for him to squeeze in, and the anti-interference ability of the jump shot is also very strong. But since Green's injury, Wiggins' position has changed! He began to focus on the fourth position, or even the fifth position, he had to spend a lot of time to go to the basket card position, to directly match the opposite inner players, whether it was height or weight, he did not have any advantage, so at this time Wiggins was very uncomfortable with the change of this role.
His own height is almost 201-203cm, playing the second position is excellent, playing the third position is also appropriate, but the height and strength of the top to the fourth position are much worse, every time the basket defends the opponent, the physical exertion is several times that of usual. To put it bluntly, what is this? This is also the gap between the mouth brother and James, Durant's level of small forwards, height and weight can not reach that level, in the third position confrontation ability is still acceptable, but hard top to four position, it is really a bit "strong man difficult". And what is the best location for Wiggins? It is to play the second position, in the second position he has an absolute talent advantage, at that time his talent can be played, the second half of the season a large number of four or five position switching, in fact, let the mouth brother carry a little uncomfortable.
