It's been 4,358 days, and the old warriors are finally gone?!

Today the Warriors played Jazz

Klay Thompson is not on the injury list, but he is also not in the starting lineup.

Yes!! Klay Thompson played off the bench today, with Podemski coming in for Thompson in the starting lineup.

It has been 4,358 days since Thompson last played as a substitute on March 12, 2012.

Well, the last time he played off the bench, Thompson was a rookie.

In yesterday's game against the Clippers, Thompson shot 4-of-14 from the field and 1-of-9 from 3-point range, scoring only 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

This spicy eye's 3 points, this spicy eye's shooting percentage.

But that's not the point.

The focus was on Thompson's performance at the crucial moment, the lethal foul.

At that time, Podemsky had just made a 3-pointer to chase the difference to only 3 points, and with 39 seconds left in the game, as long as the Warriors defended the Clippers' attack, there was a chance to tie again.

As a result, Thompson fouled, and a very unnecessary full-court press.

Look at Podemsky's expression at that time

Cole's expression

At that time, Curry also tried to reach out to comfort Thompson who made a mistake, but was ignored.

Some people analyze that Thompson's recent public opinion pressure is too great, so he doesn't know what to do at a critical moment.

Danny Green said in an interview: "Thompson has been getting too much criticism on social media lately, it's crazy. In his career of more than ten years, there will definitely be low times, and people should give him a chance to get through the troughs calmly. ”

Maybe this is not only Thompson's low, but also the Warriors' low.

If the Warriors have a good record, no one will care that Thompson is falling.

But the Warriors are now ranked 10th in the West, and Thompson, who has slipped down, has naturally become a sinner for the Warriors.

Hongu saw some fans asking why Thompson was a substitute today.

You look at Cole with this expression, is it enough to explain why?

Prior to today, Thompson played 49 games this season, all starts, averaging 6-of-14.4 shooting per game, 8.7-of-3.2 from three-point range, shooting 41.5% from the field and 36.8% from three-point range, averaging only 17 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Podzemski, who started in place of Thompson, averaged 3.9 of 8.4 shots per game, 1.2 of 3.2 three-pointers, 46.5% shooting rate, 38.3% shooting rate of 3-point shooting, and 9.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

So, from Kuminga to Podzemski, have the Warriors gradually completed the renewal?

People will always get old, and young people will always suddenly replace you at some point.

In the pre-game interview, about Thompson's bench, he said: "My job is to help my players become the best they can be. Try to put the players in the best position and let them find their rhythm in the game. ”

In other words, Kerr believes that the current Thompson is no longer qualified for the starting position.

However, Clay, who was on the sidelines today, looked quite calm to accept the role of substitute.

After being substituted, he quickly made a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer.

As a result, he played 7 minutes off the bench in the first quarter, and Thompson scored 10 points, 1 assist and 1 board on 4-of-7 shooting.

There is a feeling of shame and courage!

Thompson had the second-highest scoring score on the team in the first quarter

The highest scoring was also a surprise, with Wiggins, who was 4-of-4 shooting, scoring 11 points in the first quarter.

So, the warriors who changed formations today are somewhat energetic?

Well, for a team that is in decline, sometimes it really makes sense.

Don't ask me why I didn't wait for the game to end, because I was in a hurry to go out and it was too late
