On April 17, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs officially kicked off. In a just-concluded Game of Western Focus, the Warriors beat the Nuggets 123:107 at home to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
The Warriors were able to win today, and Poole's performance was indispensable. Poole played 30 minutes today, shooting 9 of 13, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws, totaling 30 points and 3 assists, of which the scores overwhelmed Giants such as Curry and Thompson, ranking first in the team! After the end of the game, Poole even landed at the top of the national hot search!
To be clear, today's game was the first playoff game of Poole's career, and he became the third player in team history to score 30+ in his playoff debut, the first two being Chamberlain (35 points) and Richmond (30 points). In addition, Poole became the first player since Irving in 2015 to score 30+ and at least five three-pointers in his playoff debut.
Seeing that Poole's performance was so hot, Warriors media Golden State of Mind praised on social media: "This is the strongest Jordan in history!" The first place is Poole, and the second is Michael! It is worth mentioning that Jordan has won NBA championships a total of 6 times in his career, and Poole is playing the playoffs for the first time in his career today.
According to the data model of payroll expert Bobby Marks, Poole's real-time salary reached $25.5 million. However, his actual annual salary this season is $2.16 million, and this summer, he will be eligible to sign a contract extension, when the Warriors will have a happy trouble!
