8 points on 9 shots! Kerr wanted him to be the second leader of the Warriors, but the champion was only 28 years old and was on the court paddling
On November 6, Beijing time, the Cavaliers ushered in the challenge of the Warriors at home today, and everyone may already know the result of the game, the Cavaliers relied on the excellent performance of the starters, and finally defeated the Warriors 115-104, ending the opponent's five-game winning streak. This game should also make Warriors fans realize some reality, although they have enough stars, but the team's problems are still relatively obvious, let's talk about the current Cavaliers first, and then talk about the Warriors.
The Cavaliers ushered in their all-core game today, Garland and Jarrett Allen missed a lot of games because of injuries, this game Cavaliers Mitchell shot 11 of 19 from the field, 5 of 11 three-pointers scored 31 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and now Mitchell's singles are really powerful, averaging 32.5 points per game so far this season, second in the league and 2.3 steals per game, fourth in the league, if he can continue his stability until the playoffs, then the Cavaliers will be very powerful.
Garland also played very well in this game, scoring 24 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists on 6-of-17 shooting, Mobley returned to the familiar No. 4 position after Allen's return, and Allen shot 6 of 10 and scored 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
Because of the return of the core, LeVert came to the bench, and it was Strus who started in place of him, and the Cavaliers got him through a trade in the offseason, and now it seems that the Cavaliers are very successful, Strus has excellent off-ball ability, and he also has a good ability to respond, he took on the heavy responsibility of the Cavaliers No. 3 position, Strus shot 6 of 13 from the field, and 3 of 10 from three-point range, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
After talking about the Cavaliers, let's focus on the Warriors, although Curry played super in the early stage, but the continuous mistakes in the final quarter are the key to the team's victory, Curry shot 8 of 16 in this game, 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored 28 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
However, the bench that has been playing well before, but this game played very poorly, Paul and Kuminga did not lead the team to play a decent performance, which is also a major reason for the Warriors' loss, Kuminga shot 5 of 14 in this game, 1 of 4 three-pointers scored 15 points and 3 rebounds, Paul was 2 of 10 in the game, 1 of 5 three-pointers scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, the opportunities are out, but they can't score, and there is no way.
After the start of this season, Dream Chasing seems to have regained some peak form, he shot 5 of 11 from the field, 2 of 3 three-pointers scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and so far this season, Dream has averaged 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, shooting 46.3% from the field, 46.2% from three-point range, and 1.2 three-pointers per game.
It can be seen that Dream has worked his shooting in the offseason, and even his free throw shooting ability has improved significantly, and he has shot a career-high 85.7% from the free-throw line this season. Klay didn't play well in this game, 5 of 14 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Warriors lost this game because of their lack of interior killing ability, and the protection of rebounds was not good, the opponent grabbed 10 more rebounds than the Warriors, and the Warriors were prevented from hitting only 12 points in a total of 32 shots, with a shooting rate as low as 37.5%, and there was no interior killing, and it was really difficult to win. Recently, because of the Warriors' frequent wins, everyone seems to have overlooked one problem, which is that Wiggins has played poorly.
Wiggins shot 3 of 9 in the game, 1 of 2 three-pointers scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, if a game is bad, I believe everyone can understand, the key is that Wiggins has averaged only 11.7 points and 3 rebounds per game so far this season, shooting rate of 43%, three-point shooting rate of 20%, and free throw shooting rate is as low as 57%, such a performance can be said to be substandard, because he played too badly, and now playing a critical moment, Kerr trusts Payton Jr. more and lets Payton start for him.
"I know what Wiggins can do, he'll get through it", although Kerr still trusts Wiggins in an interview, but his actions speak for themselves, and now Wiggins has been abandoned at a critical moment, thinking that he was the second leader of the team that Kerr thought he was, and he helped the Warriors win the championship in 22 years, I thought that this champion would prove himself in the Warriors' talent, but he played well for a year, and now he has started paddling again.
