James Wiseman is reimbursed for the season, Stephen Curry is still recuperating, but the Warriors' season journey continues.
In fact, there is no need to mention the problems facing the Warriors, which team has not been affected by injuries and accidents so far this season? The Warriors were in hot shape at the beginning of the season, which made the league sound a song about the rise of the Warriors dynasty, but now the Warriors are breathing heavily in the mud.
It's like a brief loss after some kind of activity.
Before the game against the Hawks, the Warriors had just finished a three-game losing streak and witnessed an infighting between the Heat, but the Warriors became the real "Warriors" of that game. However, the Warriors' hearts can not calm down, and the scene of competing with the Warriors for the first record in the West is still vivid, and now the Warriors have been thrown away from more than 10 wins.
Continuing the Eastern Conference road trip, the game against the Hawks made a good start, and the Warriors scored 42 points in the first quarter of the game, which was extremely hot. The second quarter was less than the opponent's, but only slightly behind the Hawks at the end of the half. The Warriors' half-time firepower was fierce, thanks to the double explosion of the two starting guards.
Klay Thompson scored 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting, Jordan Poole scored 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting, and it's not too much to say they're "splash brothers."
The Warriors' old sign was the "Splash Brothers," and although Stephen Curry couldn't play, Jordan Poole has been in good shape lately — scoring at least 20 points in his 12th consecutive game and continuing his record in halftime. Is such a Warrior team a headache for opponents?
Sadly, the Warriors were subdued by the Hawks in the second half.
The Warriors had problems in the third quarter, playing their worst single-quarter performance of the game — being beaten 32-16 by the Hawks. Despite being able to narrow the point gap in the final quarter, the Hawks did not give the Warriors a chance to turn the tables, and Kevin Hurther and Trae Young hit two three-pointers in a row, losing suspense a minute earlier.
The deadly third quarter of the offensive slump led to the Warriors' eventual loss.
Klay Thompson showed the temperament of "adversity soup" in the final moments of the game, but the "Splash Brothers" was not enough to transfuse blood for the team alone, and Jordan Poole's performance in the first and second half was like two people - 9 of 0 in the second half, only relying on free throws to get a pitiful two points. Relative to Klay Thompson's performance, Jordan Poole's performance in the second half was undoubtedly crotch-pulling.
Coach Steve Cole also said after the game that Klay Thompson's performance was the only highlight of the game. Speaking about the reasons for the team's defeat, Kerr blamed it on the team's defensive problems, "The offensive end is obviously not our problem with this game, but on the defensive end. We have to balance these two performances. ”
From 67 points in the first half to 43 points in the second half, whether the Warriors' offensive performance is normal is obviously debatable. However, the Warriors have more problems, such as Drummond Green's state and the rotation of the interior, which deserves a lot of thought from Steve Coleffer.
