The warrior exploded! 110-131 lost to the Grizzlies, suffered three consecutive losses!
Although the Grizzlies are second in the West, they have been doing very badly lately. Morant was suspended for holding a gun in the live broadcast, Clark was reimbursed for a torn Achilles tendon, and the main center Adams was also unable to play in his recovery. The three main players were absent, and they suffered three consecutive defeats before playing the Warriors, and were educated by the Los Angeles duo in turn. As a result, the warrior helped the grizzly bear stop the bleeding, and he fell into the abyss.
Wiggins was sidelined indefinitely due to a mysterious event, and Kuminga put on protective boots as he walked Europe in warm-up before the game. In order to improve the team's space, Kerr sent 4 guards to start: Curry + Poole + DiVincenzo + Thompson, and Dream Green played center. Li Nan and Hamm both proved that three guards are not good, and Kerr also needs four guards, and as a result, the Warriors dug a 20-point hole for themselves in the first quarter 28-48. After that, the warriors struggled to catch up, but they were never able to return to the sky. In the end, he lost by 21 points, swallowing the bitter fruit of three consecutive defeats.
It is said that the Warriors won 5 consecutive games before Curry's return, but Curry lost three times after his return. But the Warriors' problem is clearly not Curry. Curry's performance in the three games he played after his comeback was not bad, playing the Lakers on 8-of-20 shooting, 5-of-13 three-pointers, 6-of-6 free throws, and scoring 27 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists; Thunder shot 14 of 23, 10 of 16 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 40 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists; The Grizzlies shot 10-of-19, 4-of-8 from three-pointers and 5-of-6 from the free throw line, for 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Warriors have lost three straight games, mainly because they have all three games on the road, and the lineup is really not good. This season, the Warriors are not afraid of anyone playing at home and no one on the road. The Warriors have lost eight straight games on the road, and are 7-26 so far this season. For comparison, the Warriors are 27-7 at home, which is completely the two teams.
Of course, after Curry's return, other players did suffer. During the five-game winning streak, Thompson averaged 28.6 points per game and 5.6 three-pointers per game, shooting 51 percent from the field and 51 percent from three-point range. Thompson averaged 19.7 points per game in a three-game losing streak, shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from three-point range. Thompson has declined, but his performance is remarkable. After Poole and DiVincenzo returned from Curry, it was a miserable performance. After Curry's comeback, Poole averaged 14.3 points per game, shooting 36.4% from the field and 27.3% from three-point range; DiVincenzo shot 24.3 percent from the field and 18.9 percent from three-point range.
If the record is not good, it is easy to go wrong. The conflict between Dreamchasing - Green and Poole has appeared on the playing field. In the game against the Thunder, Dream Green didn't get a pass from Poole after an empty cut, and Dream Green immediately launched a temper tantrum so that Thompson later passed to him and gave up defense.
The conflict between Green and Poole happened back in the offseason. Under the mediation of Curry and management, the two temporarily turned into a fight. But when the team's results were not good, the conflict broke out again, and this time it was not so easy to press down.
After three straight losses, the Warriors' record became 34-33, the same as the Timberwolves and Lone Ranger, ranking sixth in the West by a narrow margin in head-to-head records, and only two wins ahead of the 11th Jazz in the West. The Warriors are next on the Devils' schedule, and after playing the Bucks and Suns at home, they will play five straight away games against the Clippers, Hawks, Grizzlies, Rockets and Mavericks. As far as the Rockets are a welfare bureau, other games are not easy to play. The fact that the defending champion missed the playoffs is not alarmist.
