On October 26, Beijing time, the Warriors and the Suns launched a strong dialogue in the West.
Although the result was 105-134 Suns, the Warriors lost by 29 points, but the game was not as far as expected. The Warriors still had a chance to win until the final five minutes of the game, but the Suns kept their rhythm firmly in mind and eventually won the game.
Thompson race moments
It is worth mentioning that Klay Thompson clashed in the third quarter of the game against Devin Booker, and the two entangled together for a long time, and finally Thompson was sent off for two technical fouls in a row. It was Thompson's first appearance after playing 796 games in his career. Before being sent off, Thompson played 18 minutes and 32 seconds, shooting 1-of-8 from the field and 0-of-5 from three-point range, scoring only 2 points and 2 assists, which was very inefficient. Devin Booker, on the other hand, was 10-of-19 from the field, scored 34 points, had seven assists, and could be said to have completely blown out Klay.
According to media reports, when the camera showed the two spraying each other, Clay gestured "4" to Booker and said: I have 4 championships and said words that are inconvenient to translate.
Booker and Thompson quarrel for a moment
But the gunpowder on both sides was not just focused on the shooting guard, and the referee blew a total of seven technical fouls throughout the third quarter. The Suns' Ayton, Paul, Booker and the Warriors' Klay, Green, and Kerr all ate technical fouls. Some fans said that the referee blew the whistle every 30 seconds on average during the third quarter. In addition to the grudge between the two teams, it is likely that the anger rose because both sides were not satisfied with the referee's decision.
The gunpowder smell of the game is one thing, and it is worth noting Klay Thompson's form. Thompson has averaged 22.3 minutes per game in four games this season, contributing only 11 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists, shooting 35.6 percent from the field, 28.6 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the free-throw line as a career-low.
Not only that, in the game against the Kings, Klay led Moody, Kuminga, Poole and Wiseman in the final quarter, but did not make a single shot in the fourth quarter, and he only scored 8 points on 3-of-10 shooting in that game. Not only has the data slipped badly, but the tactical position has also fallen sharply.
Thompson was interviewed after the game
It is not difficult to see that the serious injury in 19 years has made Clay unable to return to the top. The postgame interview with Klay was aware of his problems, and he also understood that he was responsible for the Warriors' poor start to the season, and he said that fortunately the problem occurred at the beginning of the season, and he is confident of returning to the top.
