Today in the studio with everyone to watch, after the game promised everyone, chat!
The two teams had met three times before this game, all of which were seen as early rehearsals for the Western Conference Finals.
The Warriors have also won the last two games in a row after losing one city first. In these two games, the Warriors won 22 points and won 9 points one game at a time, and yes, they did not play to the end. However, the first three meetings between the two teams occurred in 2021.
In 2021, the Warriors and Suns can be said to be a one-size-fits-all in the league, far away from other teams. The Suns broke the franchise record last year, winning the Warriors' game with just 18 consecutive wins; it vaguely showed everyone the dominance of the past.
However, time has changed, and after entering 2022, the Suns, which have a solid lineup, are still soaring, and their status has not declined at all. 13 wins and 1 loss in January, 9 wins and 3 losses in February, 12 wins and 2 losses in March. A total of 34 wins and 6 losses in three months, a winning percentage of 85%. Before the Game against the Warriors, the Suns have won 61 wins, and breaking the record of 62 wins in team history this season is just around the corner. The current Suns are already the strongest Suns in team history.
On the other hand, on the warrior side, one word: miserable.
Before today's game against the Suns, the Warriors' 2022 record was 21 wins and 21 losses, and after Curry was injured, the Warriors also took advantage of the Heat's poor form to win one game, losing 6 of the last 7 games.
I think that these two teams were a preview of the Western Finals, and everyone knows before today's game that combining the lineup cards of the two teams at this point in time is a group of competitions with clear strength and weakness.
If you tell the Warriors fans in advance that the Warriors have been playing with the Suns for most of today, and are still leading the Suns in the last minute of the game, and finally just a helpless defeat, I think most Warriors fans can definitely accept such a result.
But after watching the game today, we all know that the Suns' state today is really average, and it also gives the Warriors a lot of opportunities, and the Warriors are completely likely to get a victory at home, but how did they still lose?
Let's start by looking at how many opportunities the Suns have given. The Suns' three-point shooting percentage this season was 37 percent, third in the league. Today, the Suns shot 7 of 28 three-pointers, only 25% of the shooting rate; before the meeting between Ayton, the Warriors were all flaunting, playing with their lives in the chisel, eating cake, what about Ayton today? Playing softly, looking like today's lack of food, only 7 of 17 shots (his season shooting rate is 63.8%), and there were 5 mistakes; taking the best Booker of the week, only 5 of 21 shots, there were 3 fouls in the last 1 minute, at least two of which were fouls of his own offensive feel.
Today's too can be said to be a completely dysfunctional state, and the Warriors should have a reason to win this game, but what did we see in the end?
Green, who had played well most of the time, made a comical crotch pull in the Bull Horn district;
Thompson was weak on the offensive end, shooting 1-of-10 from three-point range, and still losing a fatal foul defensively, I like/respect Clay immensely, and I hope he can get back to his original competitive state, but now, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of time, it's hard.
Next is the final attack Pooler weirdly chose to grasp the smallest ultra-long shot, this choice is very bad, after all, when the sun players can't reach you..........
Counting today's game, the Suns have won another wave of nine consecutive wins, and one more win, they have completed three ten-game winning streaks in one season.
I read some news ahead, Booker/Ayton/Greg/Biyombo, who were not happy with themselves after winning today, immediately went to post-game practice. That's what a championship-chasing team should look like: never satisfied, constantly improving, disciplined, full of winning culture.
What did the Warriors say? The most worrying thing is Clay.
After the comeback, there was a bright performance of playing the Lakers in the fourth quarter and playing the Bucks with 38 points in a single game. But overall, Thompson's strength really can't be compared to his peak. His 41.3 percent shooting percentage and 36.5 percent three-point shooting percentage are career-lows, while his 8.8 three-point shots per game are career-highs. Not just too many three-point shots, the biggest change in Clay's offense is that he now holds too many balls in high-difficulty mid-range singles.
Clay has not played like this at his peak, and now the Warriors are on the one hand too much offensive ball to digest and can only be handled by Clay; on the other hand, Tang Shen's current mentality is somewhat eager to prove himself, shooting too many difficult shots. Although it is difficult to hope that Clay in the playoffs after Curry's return will compete with himself, doing his own good fixed-point shots and jump shots through cover is actually more helpful to the team.
Poole's progress this season has exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only did he cut 38 points today, after the All-Star Game, Poole averaged 23.7 points per game, shooting 48.3% from the field and 42.9% from three-point range, and has really become a star who can stand alone. But this also gives the Warriors management a headache, how big a contract does Poole have to get? Give him a hundred million, the team salary must not explode?
That's not something we as fans worry about. I know that the more important thing for everyone now is when Curry can come back?
The NBC interview with Cole also asked about this: "Curry is doing a lot of rehabilitation with the trainer, and hasn't done a lot of basketball training yet. He trains in the pool and on the treadmill, although he hasn't done pitch training yet. But he's moving in the right direction. ”
Don't say anything, wish Curry a speedy return, otherwise the Warriors' game, the 7th sister will soon be unable to continue.
