On April 30, Beijing time, the Warriors are about to usher in a life-and-death seventh, however, the current atmosphere within the team is worrying, especially Poole, which has become a big thorn.
In the last match, Poole refused to chase the dream high-fived and pushed it away. There was another scene that was also quite glaring, when he also pushed Clay away.
This scene happened when the Warriors called a timeout, but Poole did not immediately return to the bench, but tangled with the referee, who was unhappy with the penalty, chattered, and looked quite annoyed.
Seeing that Poole's state of mind was unbalanced, Big Brother Clay walked towards him, he put his arm around Poole's waist and persuaded Poole to hurry back to the bench. Poole, who was angry, pushed Clay's hand away and continued to theorize with the referee, and Clay was helpless about this.
After receiving a four-year, $140 million fat contract from the Warriors last offseason, Poole's performance in this season's playoffs has regressed significantly compared to last season.
Last season, Poole averaged 17 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds in the playoffs, which was a major contributor to the Warriors' championship victory, but this season, he averaged only 12.7 points, 3.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game, shooting just 24.1% from three-point range.
Warriors owner Lacob may be unhappy with Poole, who fell in front of Lacob in the last game, who looked dignified.
Now that the Warriors have ushered in a life-and-death seven, for Poole, this may be his last chance to redeem, if the slump continues, the Warriors grab seven out, this summer, I am afraid he will be the number one purge.
