Sports Premiere Creation Challenge
On December 9, 2023, the Warriors challenged the Thunder away, and the two sides played a difficult game in this game, and after a fierce confrontation in 1 overtime, the Thunder repelled the Warriors 138-136.
Thunder, Dort 16 points and 5 rebounds, Jalen Williams 28 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, Holmgren 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, Keady 9 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, Alexander 38 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, Wallace 10 points, Joe 5 points and 3 steals, Aaron Wiggins 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.
The Thunder team, the reason for the rapid rise this year, Holmgren and Jalen Williams should be the first credit, the star Alexander played very stable, plus Holmgren and Jalen Williams tacitly cooperated, the Thunder team had a chemical reaction, many fans called them the new version of the Thunder three less, I personally think that the Thunder team has a good record so far this season There are several reasons, 1The above talked about the Thunder three less chemical reflections, excellent play. 2.The Thunder have bench depth, more diverse role players, more 3-and-D players, and solid defense on the front line. 3。The Thunder's tactical execution is fast, there are fewer turnovers, the overall defense, the conversion speed of offense and defense has been much faster, and the backcourt rebounding protection is good.
Warriors, this game, Wiggins 12 points and 6 rebounds, Green 12 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists, Looney 5 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Klay 22 points and 4 rebounds, Curry 34 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Kuminga 24 points and 12 rebounds, Podemski 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Saric 11 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
Let's talk about the Warriors again, this season, a friend has read my previous Baijia article "2023-2024 NBA Season: The Western Heroes Compete for the Deer", "The Warriors lost to the Cavaliers, the old Paul is in a sluggish state, and the front line is not lethal enough", "The Warriors lost to the Nuggets, Jokic played well, and the Warriors were blown up inside", "The Cavaliers beat the Warriors twice, and the Warriors' Western record is a foregone conclusion". Probably everyone knows that I did something to the Warriors this year, and the reason why they lost, everyone should be very clear, now let's talk to you about how far the Warriors can go this season?My advice is to just give up this season, and look forward to next season, Curry has about 2 years of peak at most, hoping that he can win a championship.
Speaking of this, I have to say that the Warriors can start to focus on trades, this season's championship is definitely out of play, if you want to enter the playoffs, the current lineup can only depend on luck, it is difficult to make a trade to get the player you like, Wiggins can not change the offensive and defensive forward players, Wiggins also has to add players and future draft picks may change to an all-round forward, but in the league, there are very few teams that can make trades, before it was said that George, George is also 34 years old, speaking of which is also past the prime, for Big Joe Bridges, there are not enough chips, and some other teams have to compete for the championship, and it is impossible to trade。 Klay, the hero of the Warriors, but it's really bad luck, speaking of which, his contribution is much higher than that of a player like Poole, but he is very helpless, he paid some for the Warriors, and even suffered 2 major injuries, unable to return to his peak, the Warriors are currently unable to provide a contract with an annual salary of 40 million, the value of the player is not measured by money, but the salary gap makes some meritorious players very uncomfortable, I fully understand, I can only say that the achievement of the dynasty hegemony will be sacrificed, Curry's first contract extension that year was only 12 million a year, and it took 4 years to have a new contract renewal。 It is expected that Klay will be able to retire with the Warriors and win another championship at the end of his career.
The Warriors, if you give up this season, you can consider trading, make a comeback next season, strive to win another 1 championship, and then push down and rebuild, 3 to 5 seasons later, through the draft or trade, you can still return to the championship, this season, nearly 30 games, even if the Warriors win more than 90% of the games in the future, the playoffs are no play, Green, Klay, Curry, once injured, basically say goodbye to the playoffs, in the second half of the season, exercise the rookies,** Let's take a look at the right trades and see if there's a good rookieNext season, I sent the final blow to the championship.
