The Warriors have defeated the Kings and Cavaliers successively, achieving 2 consecutive wins, alleviating the team's losing streak, but the Warriors' 2 victories are not unconventional victories, a Curry 47 points, a 40 points, even if Curry can have such a performance in every game, but his body can't support it! The Warriors need to solve puzzles, not rely on Curry to come out as a savior.
After a 2-game winning streak, the Warriors have another old face, the Kings! Previously, they defeated the king to stop the losing streak! But that game is the home of the Warriors, the team is 5-1 at home, but this is the home of the Kings, the Warriors are only 0-6 away from home this season, and the team wants to break this shackle, it is not so simple.
Home Dragons, away worms, the Warriors obviously don't want to bear such a name! From the beginning, the Warriors showed their determination to win! Curry scored consecutive points on a burst of shots, Wiggins broke through, 3-pointers, Green passed the ball to drive the team, and well limited the Kings' scoring, and the Warriors bombed 39 points in the first quarter to establish a 13-point lead.
But after entering the second quarter, the offensive firepower of the Warriors' second team plummeted, and although Poole also scored a lot of points based on his personal ability, he could not stop the Kings at all, and the point difference was quickly chased to single digits and overtaken! The situation was not good, Wiggins and Looney stepped up and responded on the offensive end, but thanks to Murray's excellent play, the Kings still completed a two-point comeback in the half.
Returning from the break, Curry played a wonderful 3+1 outside, and the Warriors took the lead with the trend! Hult and Sabonis scored consecutive points, Klay and Curry responded, and the 2 teams began to fall into a tug-of-war on the court, and the difference was always within 5 points! However, in the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors' offense was muted again, and Sabonis took advantage of the situation to lead the team to open the gap, leading the Warriors by seven points at the end of the third quarter.
The Warriors, who were unwilling to lose the game, fought back in the final quarter and once chased the point difference to 2 points, but Metu and Murray can always stand up at key moments, so that the Warriors cannot complete the comeback! In the final moment, Curry and Thompson hit consecutive 3-pointers to finally help the Warriors complete the comeback, but then the team's offense fell into a mute, but Fox cut 5 points in a row, led the Kings to play a 12:2 offensive wave, regained the lead and sealed the victory, and finally the Kings defeated the Warriors 122:115, ending the opponent's two-game winning streak.
Reverse, reverse, reverse again, the battle between the king and the warriors is also a big fight, but the warriors 4 stars, even if they hit 88 points, it is still difficult to escape the fate of losing!
The 4 stars of the Warriors have been fully played in this game! Wiggins cut 26 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and has exceeded his scoring goal, which can be regarded as an outbreak! Klay can also feel good, with 17 points and 7 rebounds, at least there is no pit in this game; Poole scored 18 points and also completed his own firepower output, while Curry's performance declined slightly, which also had 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists! But even so, the Warriors lost.
After the game, Kings coach Brown laughed happily, he defeated his old club again, and also saw the crux of the Warriors, the defense is too bad!
The Warriors gave the Kings 122 points, shooting 51.6% from the field and 43.2% from 3-point range, and the defensive threat given by the team was far from enough! So far in the new season, the Warriors have conceded an average of 119.2 points per game and are the bottom 1 in the league, which is the reason for their poor performance and the consequence of letting Brown go.
Brown has been the defensive coach of the Warriors before, and it is under his polishing and coaching that the Warriors have raised the team's defense to the top level of the league, even if they do not have too good defensive players, and they have not lost against the Green Army, which is the key to the Warriors' championship last season! But what about the new season? Without Brown, the Warriors defense was beaten back to its original form, the league was 1st from the bottom, such a performance, what will the Warriors take to defend the title? Cole let go of Brown and also let go of the championship.
