Bridges: 8-of-14 shooting, 1-of-2 three-pointers, 5-of-6 free throws, 22 points, seven rebounds and two assists.
Thompson: 5-of-21 shooting, 10-of-10 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.
Thompson now looks like he was three years ago. Efficient and doesn't eat the ball, but also scores. Yuzu sister said a not very nice word, if the warriors in the final quarter of this game are Moody instead of Thompson, the warriors may win. Taking a step back, even if it is Thompson on the top, if Thompson chooses not to rush to shoot the shot in the last quarter, it may be the Warriors who win.
Probably many fans are saying that it is time to find the state and feel for Thompson, and play better for the playoffs. But is this a matter of finding state and finding feel? Counting down Thompson has also played dozens of games, a player should be looking for seven seven eight eight, but Thompson's body is always three words: unstable! It is often a ghost ten times by God, which makes people unprepared. Moreover, The good thing Thompson is looking for a state, but the ugly thing Thompson is saying is in "Wave Throw!" ”
All kinds of ball-holding emergency stop mid-range, all kinds of top shots, strong shots of three points, and unreasonable basket breakthroughs, to be honest, Curry did not play like this when he was there, Thompson is now his own system, his own way of playing. Many times Thompson's role in not shooting is much higher than the role of shooting, but Thompson still insists on shooting. Shooting is actually no problem, but it depends on how to shoot? What is Thompson's most accurate way of playing? In fact, it should be like Bridges. What does Bridges do in the sun? The character of the Best Tool Man!
There is a drama on the offensive end, but it is almost all the end of the scene, the Sun will not give him too much ball holding tactics, Bridges is all about receiving the ball and shooting or holding the ball down, or it is an empty three-pointer, playing all the style of 3D players. What's the point? It's Bridges who doesn't delay things, he's not without the ability to hold the ball, but most of his offensive choices are directly terminated, not to hold the ball to create opportunities, because Bridges understands that the team has better ball handlers, don't need him to keep holding the ball, so playing without the ball has become his signature, not only high efficiency but also a lot of points.
What is Thompson? To put it bluntly or the impact of injuries, it is obvious that some balls he can't exert power, whether it is the shot that jumps or the speed of the breakthrough when holding the ball, it is actually very average. Thompson doesn't have the physical condition he used to have, and he now plays with the ball more to make up for the weak rings in his body. The style of holding the ball is not suitable for him, on the one hand, he is inefficient, on the other hand, he hurts the team. But Thompson seems to be mentally unwilling to accept defeat, playing a rush is to throw, strong shots, and occasionally shooting a three-point shot is indeed very exciting, but for the overall situation is actually insignificant. It can only be said that the times have not changed, 3D is still that 3D, but unfortunately Thompson has changed, no longer the "Buddha" he used to be.
