Exposure to contract negotiations has become a burden for Thompson!The name said that he was frustrated with his performance and was still confident that the Warriors could get better
On November 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In yesterday's highlight-game game, the Warriors lost 123-124 to the Kings on the road, the Warriors' eighth defeat in the last 10 games, and their record changed to 8-10 and they finished 10th in the West and lost qualification for the quarterfinals of the midseason.
The Warriors have had a poor record this season, and one person on the team is to blame, and he is Klay Thompson. In yesterday's game, Thompson shot 6-of-14, including 3-of-9 three-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws, with 20 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, while committing 3 turnovers. It is worth mentioning that Thompson scored 17 points in the first half, but only scored three points in the entire second half.
Speaking after yesterday's game, Thompson said: "We have to persevere, not be discouraged by a bad night like today, and realise that we are going to come home with a chance to turn things around. I still have a strong belief in this team and I believe we can do something special. ”
Looking at the whole season, Thompson averaged 29.4 minutes per game, 15.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.6 blocks, shooting 40.4% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range. Clearly, this performance did not meet people's expectations for Thompson.
In this regard, the famous journalist Kendra Andrews revealed that the contract negotiation with the Warriors has recently become a heavy pressure on Thompson. "We could clearly see that Thompson was more frustrated during the game," he said. Sometimes when the game was suspended, Thompson would sit alone at the end of the bench or pat himself on the head in frustration after a missed shot. ”
It has to be said that the current situation is very difficult for both Thompson and the Warriors. With the Warriors taking on the Clippers tomorrow, it remains to be seen if Thompson and the Warriors can get back on track.
