Beijing time on April 28 news, the Golden State Warriors in the fifth game of the series with the Denver Nuggets is very likely to adjust their starting lineup, the biggest change is Steven Curry's return to the starting lineup.
The Warriors are currently leading the Nuggets 3-1, and they only need one more win to eliminate their opponents to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.
A few hours ago, renowned sports journalist Shams Charania revealed on his social blog that "the Warriors may have used the most lethal lineup of the series at the beginning of today's game, curry returned to the starting lineup, partnering Klay Thompson, Wiggins, Jordan Poole and Drummond Green." ”
If that's the case, it means That Wayne Rooney is pinned to the bench, the first time this season the lineup has appeared as a starter. In the previous four games, Curry has played as a substitute.
However, before the game, some reporters asked Wiggins what he would think if he was put on the bench. Wiggins responded: "Coaches do whatever they want. As long as they think it's the best, as long as they win the game, (we'll all execute). You know, even Curry has a few games that he has been off the bench. We have to do whatever we need to do to win the game.
The reason why some people speculate that Wiggins will be placed on the bench is mainly because of Iguodala, who has confirmed that he will miss the G5 game due to neck discomfort, and he will not return until next week. Putting Wiggins on the bench helps balance the strength gap between the team's starting lineup and the second-team lineup.
