In a just-concluded NBA regular season game, the Warriors fought the road for 4 quarters, and finally lost to the Magic 90-94, breaking a big upset.
Despite Curry's absence, the Warriors still have All-Star players like Klay, Dreamcatcher and Wiggins, and the overall strength seems to be stronger than the Magic team in the East. But unfortunately, in this game, the Warriors will pull the crotch of the offensive end performance, the efficiency is very low, and finally had to swallow 3 consecutive losses.
After the lack of Curry, how bad the Warriors' offense is, let's take a look at the data of this game.
The Warriors scored only 88 points, of which the warriors scored only 17 points in the first quarter, only 21 points in the second quarter, and the fourth quarter was even more outrageous, scoring only 14 points, except for the sudden outbreak in the third quarter to play a relatively normal performance and score 36 points, the other three quarters of the Warriors, it looks like they are more like a team at the bottom of the league.
In terms of players' individual performances, Klay was the top scorer after Curry's absence, and it was clear in this game that he was still a long way from returning to normal levels. In this game, Clay shot only 6 of 15, and outside the three-point line was 7 of 2, and finally scored 15 points, such an offensive contribution, far from being consistent with Clay's position on the team.
As the all-star starter this season, Wiggins's normal performance is even more crotch, only 5 of 19 shots in the whole game, and finally got 13 points and 8 rebounds, such data, compared with the identity of an All-Star starter, is really not worth mentioning.
In particular, the sluggish performance after the All-Star weekend has made many fans start labeling Wiggins as the worst All-Star starter in history. Except for a last-minute hit to give the Warriors hope for a 3-pointer, the performance at other times was really miserable.
Jordan Pooler contributed 26 points in this game, the first place in the team, but his shooting rate is also not high, only 9 of 23 shots in the game, shooting less than 40%.
It can be said that the Warriors judged the two teams after Curry's absence, and the top 3 scorers who were pinned on high hopes were quite surprised in this game when they faced the collective dysfunction of the bottom team in the East.
After losing this game, the Warriors are still in third place in the West, two wins behind the second-place Grizzlies, and only two wins left behind the fourth-place Jazz.
If you look at Curry's performance after his absence, the Warriors are afraid that they will be chased by the Jazz and fall to fourth, and may even be caught up by the Lone Rangers, after all, they are only 3 wins ahead of the fifth Lone Rangers. If you take into account the Warriors' remaining March schedule, it is not surprising that the team cannot adjust in time and fall outside the top four.
After playing the Magic, the Warriors will challenge the Heat back-to-back to the first place in the East, then the Hawks, wizards, Grizzlies and Suns, according to the state of the Warriors' game, it is really difficult to predict what advantage they will take advantage of the next 5 teams, a wave of 8 consecutive losses for the end of March, do not be surprised.
Next, the most important thing for the Warriors is that Klay and Wiggins can recover their offensive state in time and be able to stand up in the absence of Curry, otherwise, the period before Curry's comeback will undoubtedly be the most difficult period on the road to the Warriors' championship.
