On February 15, Beijing time, in the Warriors' game against the Clippers, Klay Thompson played the worst game of the season, shooting 4 of 14 from the field, and 1 of 9 from beyond the three-point line to bury the victory, and he once again became an undercover agent for this team.
And in the last 37 seconds of the game, Thompson made a choice that shocked everyone and completely incomprehensible, we really don't understand, what is Tang God thinking? Low shooting percentage, poor performance, this is forgivable, but there is one link that is really unforgivable, that is, Klay sleepwalks on the court.
In the fourth quarter, when Podemsky hit a three-point shot, the Warriors had 39 seconds left, 123-126 only trailing by 3 points, at this time obviously should be well defended, because George and Xiaoka on the opposite side are off the court, and it is not so difficult for you to defend one. As long as one ball is blocked, with Curry and Podemsky scoring 14 three-pointers per game, there is a high probability that the Warriors will be able to turn the tables.
Even if it went into overtime, the Warriors were playing at home, and they could win this game, but they never expected that at this time, Thompson suddenly took the initiative to rush up and slap Wei Shao hard and foul him. This action didn't even Cole on the sidelines, what did Tang Shen want to do?
At that time, Cole was desperately emphasizing on the sidelines, waving his hands to signal not to foul, not to foul, not to foul! Said don't foul, don't foul, you have to deliberately foul, Kerr complained to the assistant coach on the sidelines, he didn't know what Thompson wanted to do, what does that mean?
At that time, Cole was three meters next to Tang Shen, and waved his hand frantically and said Don't do this, he just wants to do this, so angry that Cole slapped the floor with both hands and couldn't say a word. Looking at the expression of his teammate after Klay's foul at that time, Podemsky covered his face, it felt incredible, Curry was in the middle of the court, I don't know what this teammate wants to do.
Even they know that the coach is not to foul, and if you foul it, it will be a point, so you can defend against this offense, and then the Warriors can play back, and even the Warriors have time to play two more rounds. It can only be said that as soon as this round comes out, it shows that Tang Shen is like a walking corpse on the field, and his mentality has collapsed.
He didn't listen to the coach's tactics at all, nor did he fully devote himself to the game, but he didn't know what he was fugue, or what he thought of, what is the difference between this and the walking dead?
To be honest, if Curry really wants to keep his brother and retire together, then Klay can only get a contract with an annual salary of 10 million at most to renew his contract with the Warriors, and he has to play as a substitute, not a little more. This game can be won even without him, and Coach Kerr's expression and action are simply New Year's greetings in front of the bench.
