If the playoffs have an MVP, it's hard to say who is, but if there is a DPOY award in the playoffs, then this season must be given to the mouth brother. Defense is not an empty phrase, you have to look at the real play. Kerr may not yet know the defensive value of The Mouth Brother, but Mike Brown, the team's defensive coach, is accurately aware of Wiggins' defensive role. As soon as the third quarter of the game was over, The mouth brother had already rested for two minutes. According to common sense, the mouth brother will usually come back in the seventh minute or so of the fourth quarter, because he has a lot of consumption on the defensive end, so in general, Kerr tries to let Wiggins rest for a little longer, but today is different.
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors' outer and inner lines were almost destroyed by the Grizzlies, completely unable to defend people, and the brother-in-law and brother could not withstand the Grizzlies' offense with their hands and feet. This side of the mouth brother just rested for two minutes, Mike Brown can't help it, immediately changed to the mouth brother, as for the defensive effect, four words: immediate results! And the defense of the mouth brother is not the kind of defense that is only aimed at one person, like the league has the kind of players with extreme defensive skills in these years, who specialize in locking the first position or the second position and the third position, specializing in one or two positions to defend. What is Wiggins defending? Two words: Almighty!
The Grizzlies' outside line from Dillon to Bane to Jones, one by one, and not over and over again, but whoever is the hat, whoever you have suddenly exploded, Wiggins will immediately change to defend whom, no difference in the change of defense. Of course you think the anti-outside line is enough? Not enough, but also to the top of the inner line, anti-four and five positions is a common thing, the most critical is that the mouth brother also needs the internal line card position. A lot of the Warriors' backcourt rebounds aren't Wiggins' hands, but what is he doing? He was vying for a card spot for Adams, and a player who played number two in the Timberwolves was given the fifth position in the Warriors.
What is the epitome of Wiggins' defensive play throughout the game? It is to chase small guards, top big centers, cover the sky under the basket, and fight for key frontcourt rebounds. He even single-handedly covered Dillon Brooks and couldn't find the North, of course you think the defense is done? He also has to take care of the offense, what offense? Take care of the Warriors' most stable offense! Many of the recent games of Brother Zui have been scoring ahead of the whole team in the first three quarters, and the efficiency is very high, no matter what his teammates are, he can always maintain the efficiency of around 50%. Blame the mouth brother only to take seventeen or eight points, in fact, he only has seventeen or eight points of the ball, why did not attack in the fourth quarter? That is really unable to attack, and if you can attack madly, the mouth brother is even more outrageous than artificial intelligence.
And the mouth brother's rebounding ability in the fourth quarter is really fierce, always able to fight to the key frontcourt rebound. So the Warriors should be thankful now that they have an all-around front like Wiggins, especially since the importance of defense is now almost completely overshadowed by his offense. His talent on the front line is what the Warriors need the most, and his one-sided defense ability and the ability to block the inside line are not available to the rest of the Warriors, and such a Wiggins Warrior can go further. At this stage of the Warriors can be said, the most indispensable player is Curry, followed by the mouth brother!
