On March 23, Beijing time, in the NBA regular season, the Warriors lost 90-94 to the Magic away and suffered three consecutive losses. In this game, the Warriors' third-highest-paid Wiggins played crotch again. He played 36 minutes, shooting 5-of-19, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free throw line, and had just 13 points and eight rebounds.
After Curry was injured, Cole named Wiggins in the hope that he would be aggressive in the game. But judging by his performances in the last two games, Wiggins has been a bit disappointing. In the last game against the Spurs, Wiggins shot 5-of-13 and had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Facing the Magic at the bottom of the East today, Wiggins scored 13 points on 19 shots and performed in a sluggish performance.
After the game, Warriors coach Kerr also made a rare criticism of Wiggins. He said: "Wiggins has to be aggressive. I have confidence in Wiggins and I think he will get out of the current situation. ”
This season, Wiggins was one of the Warriors' surprises. Before All-Star Weekend, Wiggins reached career highs in a number of stats, and he was selected for the All-Star Game and became a starter. But in the past 2 months, Wiggins' performance has plummeted, with only one single-game score breaking 20. Wiggins' performance does not match his annual salary of up to 30 million. This has also caused dissatisfaction among many Warriors fans.
Next, the Warriors' schedule is very difficult, including the Heat, Eagles, Grizzlies, Suns, Jazz and other strong players. Statistics show that without Curry's Warriors, the record this season is 2 wins and 8 losses. In the absence of Curry, Kerr can only expect Wiggins to step up and help the team.
