Warriors away against the Wizards, Curry continued to miss, and finally lost 115-123 to the Wizards, suffered 2 consecutive losses, in the Curry injury stage, the Warriors lost 5 of the last 6 games, and the 4 opponents have a win rate of less than 50%, the only win is to defeat the internal contradictions of the Heat, if the performance is bad, let the Warriors' record to 48 wins and 27 losses, and the third place in the West Grizzlies win gap to 4 games, they are rapidly sliding into the second half of the team.
Before many fans questioned Curry's ability to lead the team, and this season's Warriors record has proved that Curry's status in the team is indispensable, in the past game, the Warriors have Curry, their record is 45 wins and 19 losses, the win rate reached 70.3%, the record ranked in the top two in the league, of which Thompson and Green are absent from many games, the Warriors rely on Curry to still win one victory after another, making them the hottest team in the championship, but with Curry's absence, the Warriors only achieved 3 wins and 8 losses in 11 games, The win rate is only 27.3%, which is the difference between the Warriors and Curry, and what makes the Warriors even more sad is that in Curry's absence stage, Green and Thompson have different degrees of downturn, especially Green is the most obvious.
Curry truce, Green's return game, the Warriors lost all 5 games, 5 games of plus-minus accumulation reached an incredible minus 65, against the Green Army minus 15, against the Magic minus 8, against the Hawks minus 24, this game against the Wizards, his plus-minus value is minus 20, it can be said that Green is on the court, the Warriors are completely behind the side, is Green really not ok? In fact, the answer is no, Green has his own unique position in the team, his arc top serving tactics and ability to respond to the need for a no-ball runner like Curry, although Thompson is equally strong in this regard, but considering his injury situation, it can no longer be as impeccable as at the peak. This also led to a decline in Green's position in the team, a decline in tactics, and eventually kept him out of the system.
Green himself was depressed after the game, saying: "I am healthy, but I played badly, I need to correct my problems and then change." Instead of talking about his injuries, Green has laid out his slump on a case-by-case basis, perhaps he has understood that only Curry can show his role on the court.
Compared with Green, Wiggins, Clay, Cuminga, and other players are inseparable from Curry's ability to respond, and only Poole is relatively able to leave Curry to play a stable player, which has a lot to do with their playing style, whether it is Green, Wiggins, Clay or Cumminga, they lack independent offensive ability, need teamwork to play their own advantages, and Poole has its own offensive ability, Curry is absent, he has become one of the core of the team, although this game shot 25 hits 8 times, The feel is sluggish, but in the absence of Curry, dare to express themselves, the current Warriors really few people can do it.
As head coach, Cole saw the team's recent downturn, he began to adjust the team, the next game against the Grizzlies, he will take the rotation of Green, Thompson, Porter, with the team's youngest lineup against the Grizzlies. If you win the game, it may make Green and Thompson more embarrassed, and if you lose the game, the Warriors will accept it, give up the game, keep the whole team healthy, wait for Curry's return, but go all out to impact the playoffs.
