The NBA regular season continues, with the East and West facing a strong and weak dialogue, and the Warriors heading to the road to challenge the Hawks.
After Curry's absence, the Warriors' state declined significantly, but in the last game, they defeated the Heat in the absence of major generals, showing the team's strong lineup depth, even so, the team's record pressure is still not small, only 3 wins ahead of the Lone Rangers and Jazz before the game, and there is a complete possibility of falling out of the upper half of the Western Conference.
On the other hand, the Eagles, the team's recent state is also unstable, the last game was even more upset than the Fish Belly Pistons, fortunately, the team has locked up the play-off qualification, because there is still a chance to reach the top eight, the Eagles do not lack the desire to win.
As soon as the game began, the Eagles showed their determination to win, playing a perfect 5-0 start and establishing an early lead.
Fortunately, the Warriors found their form in time, chased the score in the first half, successfully completed the counterattack with 4 minutes left in the first quarter, and ended the first quarter with a 6-point lead with a 42-point performance in the single quarter.
In the second quarter, the Warriors briefly pulled the point difference to double digits, but the Eagles continued to catch up with the point difference throughout the season, and successfully with 11 seconds left in the second quarter, with Trae Young and Gallinari's consecutive points to complete the rebound, with a two-point lead into the halftime rest.
After chasing the score, the Warriors briefly fell into a mute, and the score was quickly pulled to double digits by the Eagles.
Since then, the Warriors have played a role in chasing points again, under the leadership of Klay and Poole, the Warriors have repeatedly forced the point difference to single digits, but they have never been able to complete the counterattack, and the Hawks have an 8-point lead in the third quarter.
Entering the final quarter of the scramble, the Warriors set off a counterattack wave, once the point difference was only 3 points, but the Hawks Trae Young withstood the pressure, coupled with the Warriors' internal mistakes, and finally the Warriors reversed hopelessly, losing to the Hawks 110-121.
Throughout the game, the Hawks played the team's characteristics, that is, the offensive firepower points are numerous, and Trae Young's single point scoring points are strong.
Among them, Trae Young played 39 minutes, 12 of 20 shots, and efficiently bombed a big double double-double with 33 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists and 2 steals, in addition, Gallinari 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Hurth 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Capela 19 points and 13 rebounds, Hunter 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals.
With this victory, the Hawks narrowed the gap between the team and the Nets to 1.5 wins, and the Hornets in front of them have narrowed the team's win with the Nets to 0.5, the Nets' eight pressure is huge, and the Warriors' upset loss undoubtedly adds a lot of trouble to the Nets.
On the other hand, the Warriors, although Klay lost Yu Rong, shot 14 of 26 from the field, 9 of 16 from three points, and exploded the second highest point of next season with 37 points, plus 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
It is worth mentioning that the last time Clay hit at least nine three-pointers in a single game dates back to March 9, 2019, when Westbrook was still at the Thunder, Morant had not yet entered the league, and Wade and Nowitzki had not yet retired.
Unfortunately, Clay's proud performance failed to bring victory to the Warriors, and the performance of three of the generals was eye-catching and should be criticized.
The first of course is the dream green, the whole game, Green played 24 minutes, 3 shots 1, only got 4 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and also made 5 mistakes, personal plus-minus of the lowest minus 24 in the game.
When Curry was absent, the role of Dream Green quickly fell to the bottom, the offensive end became a point that was let go, and the defensive end even had a negative standing performance, coupled with continuous mistakes, the performance was really hot.
Another player with a hot performance is Wiggins, who only had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the game, and his form continued to be sluggish, and it is not clear why Wiggins suddenly seemed to have lost the desire to play after the All-Star.
Finally, there is Poole, who has been in hot form lately, who has been criticized for his decent performance from Green and Wiggins, with 24 points, 4 boards and 10 assists, and 10 assists is a career high.
But what cannot be ignored is that he also made 5 mistakes in the whole game, scoring only 2 points in the second half, shooting only 8 of 22 shots in the whole game, and there was a large number of poor shooting choices.
Due to the high expectations of the outside world, he also needs to improve, otherwise it will be difficult to get the big contract he wants in the offseason.
