On October 5, Beijing time, in an NBA preseason game that ended this morning, the Warriors easily defeated the Blazers 121-107 on the road. Almost all the teams in this game sent their main squads, but their playing time was not very much, but it did not affect the viewing of the game in the slightest. Xiaobian personally likes to watch the Warriors game, they make people feel a sense of happiness to see old friends again, passing is still so smooth, it can be called a flowing feast.
Before the preseason, the Warriors finally solved their biggest hidden problem, that is, Wiggins chose to get vaccinated. With Klay Thompson still not back, Wiggins is undoubtedly the team's most consistent second-scoring point, while he is also the core of the defensive end, and the importance is obvious. Wiggins played a total of 16 minutes in this game, shooting 5 of 10 from the field, 2 of 5 from three-point range, 13 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, and nurkic in the game.
Curry also tried his hand today, with 4-of-10 shooting and 3-of-8 three-pointers in 19 minutes, with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. In the third quarter, Curry seized a wave of opportunities, three-point shooting, stealing and pulling the basket, plus a long three-pointer, hitting the goal in three consecutive rounds to score eight points.
There was also a very interesting scene in today's game, the Warriors launched a quick attack in the middle of the first quarter, Curry faked a move to shake Little and prepared to create a three-point foul, but the referee did not blow the penalty. According to previous reports, the new season of the NBA will implement new rules to reduce non-basketball actions that intend to create fouls, and Curry has obviously not adapted to these now, subconsciously still wants to create fouls, and the referee naturally ignores it.
But today's Warriors protagonists are not curry and Wiggins, but 22-year-old Jordan Poole. In this game, he was full of firepower, shooting 17 times in the 22 minutes of play, including 7 of 13 three-pointers, slashing 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, plus or minus as high as +21. It is worth mentioning that in the third quarter, Poole single-handedly scored 15 points, and finally a super far three-point directly stopped the Blazers.
Coach Steve Cole was also asked about Poole's shots in an interview with the media after the game, and Kerr said: "There is no doubt that he is one of the strongest players in our team, as long as his form comes, I think he has unlimited right to fire. "As a comparison, today the two giants Curry and Wiggins only shot 10 times, which shows that Kerr did give Poole the green light today."
In addition to Poole, there is another player in the Warriors today who is very eye-catching, he is the new signing Otto Porter Jr. In the whole game, he shot 5 of 9, 4 of 7 from three-point range, and exploded 19 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, and had excellent performances on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Perhaps because Porter had played for some fishy teams before, he didn't get much attention from the outside world, and now everyone has found that he looks very similar to Chamberlain.
Finally, we have to mention that the Warriors made 69 three-point shots across the team in this game, and finally hit 24 three-pointers. According to statistics, the NBA's three-point shooting record in a single game in the regular season is 70, which was set by the Rockets on January 16, 2019, while the Warriors shot 69 three-pointers in this game, which can rank second in the history of preseason and regular season.
