The Warriors took the Kings lightly, and Wiggins cut 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists to play a game of recovery, and it was not only this game that picked up, but several games were in good shape. Since the end of March, Wiggins' state is recovering little by little, and the three-point shooting rate and free-throw shooting rate are gradually rising. It seems that the mouth brother has found a little feeling, and the state at the beginning of the season seems to be able to maintain. Of course, a few games are not enough to explain the problem, from the whole All-Star after the play, Wiggins's performance is very difficult to satisfy the fans, the downturn on the offensive end makes people very speechless!
Playing to the end of the season, the trading mouth brother said more and more. But can the Warriors trade Wiggins? Don't take the data of 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in this game to be embarrassed, just look at the defense of Wiggins in the fourth quarter in the last two games, it is almost irreplaceable in the Warriors. In the fourth quarter of the Jazz, Wiggins led the defense of Mitchell, Mitchell was once prevented to doubt life, the ball could not shoot, the whole last quarter 4 shots 0 did not score a point. Playing the King of this game, Di Vincenzo has scored and assisted consecutively on the offensive end, which once made the Warriors feel a crisis.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Wiggins decisively went directly to TheVencenzo, and then what was the situation? DiVinchenzo could no longer score, the breakthrough could not be scored, the passing field of vision was also cut off, and DiVinchenzo, who originally looked like he was about to explode, was choked by his mouth brother. Some people say that they can rely on Cuminga's growth to make up for Wiggins' departure on the front line, and the Warriors can use Cuminga to replace Wiggins. But is that really the case? Cumminga has the same physical talent and athletic ability as Wiggins, but can he really replace Wiggins?
Low is the best illustration, Cuminga, like Wiggins, has low ability. But the difference is that Wiggins has more offensive means, and Cuminga is raw and hard. But the biggest difference is the deterrent, Cuminga sits low, the king almost once did not have a bag, let Cuminga go to the low position hard, give Cuminga a 1V1 chance. But as soon as Wiggins went to sit in a low position, as soon as he made physical contact, the King's assistant defense and the clamping personnel immediately followed, ready to wrap Wiggins at any time, and the threat of the two attacks was completely different. At the same time, Cumminga is not yet able to have the ability of Wiggins to hold the ball and solve hard, he likes to rush more, this style of play is still an early alphabet brother.
Wiggins' role in the Warriors is not what it seems, more in the Warriors to play a player who integrates attack and defense, which is what the Warriors require of him. Now Thompson's defensive ability on the outside has declined, and Thompson himself has admitted that with Wiggins, he no longer has to play against the powerful scorers on the opposite side. So the role of the mouth brother in the Warriors is actually more defensive than offensive, the mouth brother may not be able to limit the core point of the opposite side every game, but with him, the Warriors have a defensive strength point on the outside line, at least the Warriors have someone in place. When the Warriors face the Clippers, Grizzlies, Suns and other teams, the Warriors can not use Curry, do not use Thompson to defend the excessive consumption of physical energy, this is the ultimate meaning of the mouth brother in the Warriors!
