On March 26, Beijing time, the Hawks beat the Warriors 121-110, and after Curry's absence, the Warriors won only one game, even if Poole's efficient performance on the field could not save the Warriors from the water and fire. In this game, Klay Thompson also broke out, bombing 37 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists and hitting nine three-pointers, but still could not help the Warriors win, in addition to the reason for Poole's crotch in the second half, Wiggins was also to blame.
In this game, the Warriors did not fall behind in the first half, Wiggins only played for 22 minutes, with a shooting rate of 9 shots 4 to win 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, plus or minus is the second-to-last minus 14 of the whole team, as one of the Warriors' scorers, only nine shots in the whole game, fully proved that Wiggins is not aggressive enough on the offensive end, which also completely annoyed Kerr, in the second half of the chasing moment, Wiggins was directly pressed on the bench.
In fact, after the All-Star, Wiggins's performance has almost become the norm, in the 11 games before this game, he averaged only 14.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting only 39.3% from the field, falling to 31.7% from three-point range, and as a forward player, the free throw shooting rate is only an outrageous 50%. Cole has also publicly stated more than once that Wiggins wants to increase his offensive aggressiveness, but from the current point of view, Wiggins has not been able to carry the flag when Curry is injured.
As this season's All-Star starting front, at present, Wiggins's performance is obviously not worthy of this honor, in the case of Curry's injury, first Poole stood up in many consecutive games and became the team's first scoring point, and then, Thompson slashed 37 points in this game, but only Wiggins, who did not open his scoring arsenal for a long time, was also ridiculed by many fans, Wiggins is probably the worst All-Star starter in NBA history.
It is worth mentioning that the current performance has obviously caused Cole's dissatisfaction. And the current Warriors team, it seems that Wiggins is not a player who must be. Poole has shown his scoring ability, Klay Thompson is getting better, and most importantly, Kuminga, who is also a striker, is getting better and better, and if Wiggins continues to play such a performance, I am afraid that it will be replaced as Cuminga grows.
