On May 10, Beijing time, the Warriors ushered in the fourth game of the semifinals with the Grizzlies, the Warriors, who had previously led the opponent 2-1, continued to sit in their home Chase Center today, plus Morant was also absent because of a knee injury, the Golden State Soldiers naturally hoped to beat the drum, in the witness of the home fans, to win the match point of this round of the series, although the first three quarters were behind, but in the last quarter of the Warriors single quarter blasted a 39-29 shockwave, and finally won the Grizzlies 101-98 with a thrilling victory, The aggregate score was 3-1 and match points were taken.
G4 cut two double-doubles to help the team win the match point, and Wiggins rebounded five of his 10 rebounds in offensive rebounds
While everyone focused on Curry, who scored the team's highest score of 32 points, and Tanhua Lang Porter, who scored two key three-pointers in the final quarter, they ignored Wiggins, who silently cut two doubles. In this campaign, Wiggins in the 39 minutes of playing time, 13 shots 7, 17 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks of the all-round data, and these 10 rebounds, there are 5 are offensive rebounds, to know that the entire game warriors only have 10 offensive rebounds, and Wiggins alone did half, I have to say that his highest +12 plus-minus is really worthy of the name.
With a total of 14 offensive rebounds in four games, Wiggins became a rebounding idiot
In this round of the series with the Grizzlies, Kerr gradually reduced The Role of Rooney, but also let Wiggins and Dream Green take on the heavy responsibility of the interior, most of the time as the Warriors' fourth position Wiggins, but also did not disappoint the coaching staff, in these 4 games, he has grabbed 14 offensive rebounds, that is to say, in each game, Wiggins's offensive rebounds came to an average of 3.5 per game, as a small forward with a height of 2 meters 01, Wiggins can face The Young Jalen, Clark, In the forbidden area of Adams, these elders, incarnated into an "offensive rebounding idiot", which is really not easy.
As a 14-year NBA champion, Wiggins at the beginning of his debut, once regarded as the next LeBron James, unfortunately these years of his development is not satisfactory, with the 19-20 season by the Timberwolves traded to the Warriors, Wiggins also gradually became a supporting role player, in the Warriors' three seasons, Wiggins's average score per game did not come to 20+, His average points per game this season are the worst 17.2 points in the Warriors' career, but because of the hard work on the defensive end, coupled with maintaining a certain threat outside the three-point line (39.3% of three-point shooting is a career high), Wiggins continues to be reused by Kerr in the playoffs.
Willing to sacrifice for the team, the Warriors are lucky to have Wiggins, the rebounding king of the playoffs
These 9 playoff games down, Wiggins's performance is very stable, in addition to the first round and the Nuggets G3 score is less than double digits, the remaining 8 games have a contribution of 10+, the second playoff trip of this career, Wiggins averaged 15.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1 steal 0.9 blocks per game, shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate to 51% and 37.5% respectively, can be said to be an indispensable offensive and defensive gate in the Warriors' flank position, as the Warriors' rebounding king in this year's playoffs, Wiggins put down the "self-sacrifice" of the body, but also an important contributor to the Warriors to be able to get to the present, a talent enough to match James's Yuanlang, can be willing to become a "supporting role" after joining the Warriors, the team can have Wiggins, it is really lucky.
