Today's NBA regular season, the Warriors lost to the Mavericks 122-132, the suspense of this battle is actually not big, the Warriors fell behind by 8 points in the first quarter, the Mavericks still had the upper hand in the second quarter, the Mavericks continued to press the Warriors in the third quarter, and the Warriors narrowed the gap in the final quarter, but Doncic responded with consecutive scores, and the Warriors could only lose in the end. In terms of statistics, Curry had 25 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 turnovers, Thompson had 3 points and 2 rebounds, Paul had 24 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, rookie Davis had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Podzemski had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Wiggins had 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Kuminga had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Saric had 3 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Warriors are in a bad situation right now, suffering three consecutive losses after this game, continuing to rank 11th in the West, and the gap with the Rockets has reached 10 games, the 11th in the West can't even enter the play-offs, and more importantly, the Warriors don't let us see hope in **, almost all veterans, including Curry, are declining, although the two rookies like Podemski and Davis are playing well, but they are still too young after all, and they can't go far at all. What should a warrior do in this situation?The answer is a trade only, and it has been previously reported that Warriors management is open to trading Wiggins, and there may be fans who will talk about Thompson.
In fact, if you really want to choose between Thompson and Wiggins, the Warriors will definitely keep the former, and with the meritorious veteran, Thompson will not be traded, unless he doesn't want to stay with the Warriors after his contract expires next year, but it will definitely be useless to pursue a big contract, and no one will give it. You have to find the reason for losing, looking at this game, the Warriors mainly exposed three problems, the first is poor defense, the outside line has given the Mavericks too many vacant opportunities, and the inside line is also useless, the current Warriors, the defensive system is basically nothing, Doncic bombarded 39 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, the Warriors have thought about the strategy of packing, but unfortunately the effect is not ideal.
According to statistics after the game, Doncic has cut 35+5+10 data for the 35th time in his career so far, the third most in NBA history, second only to Robertson (116) and Harden (47), with Doncic's personal ability and age, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Harden, and whether he can surpass the big O depends on whether he can stay healthy in the future. The second reason for the loss, the Warriors' three major scoring points are collectively sluggish, Klay is 1 in 11, it is really impossible to look directly, Curry is not ideal in 9 of 25, although the second half is recovered, but the front digging hole is too big, and Wiggins, 12 points in the first half, Brother Zui gave us the feeling that it was about to explode, but only 2 points were scored in the second half.
This is as mentioned earlier, Curry, Thompson and Wiggins, the Warriors' three major scoring points have declined across the board this season, Curry's average three-point shooting rate per game is not even 40%, not as high as James (exactly 40%), the 35-year-old Curry has declined more than the 39-year-old James, and Wiggins not to mention that there is a problem with the mentality of the mouth brother. The final reason for the loss, the Warriors' tactics have problems, the offensive end is too dependent on three-point shots, the more Curry can't shoot, the more persistent he is, many rounds, Curry insists on playing singles, not passing the ball at all, and the cute god throws when he gets the ball, and it can be seen that the record is bad, Curry is a little anxious, and wants to hit more three-pointers to save the decline, but the premise is that you have to be able to hit, and if you can't shoot, you are wasting the offensive round.
Curry was interviewed after the game and said this about the loss: "That's the nature of the team, it's going to be through the whole season, we've experimented with a lot of lineups, some of them are forced to do so, some of them are trying to find ourselves and find our strengths, but we haven't found them yet, so it's frustrating," It can be seen that Curry lost the game and lost his heart, and at the same time, Curry is also hinting to the Warriors management that the team lineup is not ideal, and the Warriors will not be able to sit still, obviously Curry also believes that the Warriors need to make changes in the lineup. Later, when talking about his recent ups and downs, Curry said: "I've been in this situation before, I started out in good shape, and then it got cold, and I was more demanding of myself, knowing that I needed to shoot better, I needed to play better and be more consistent. ”
Curry was also very disappointed with his play, saying that he would find his shooting touch, and Curry added: "It's hard to be perfect in 82 games, but I still need to play the same way, and I know that in the season, the law of averages will play out, and I've shown that I can do that, so my confidence remains." "Curry is confident in regaining his feel, but the reality is that is really enough for Curry to get his feel back on his ownWhat should Thompson and Wiggins do?Therefore, the Warriors are facing too many problems, and it is not Curry who needs to be adjusted, but the whole team needs to change, of course, except for Paul, Paul scored a season-high 24 points in this game and has done his best.
