Kerr strongly supported Green and stated many times that Green is an indispensable member of the team
The Warriors have been in excellent form of late, making it to the playoffs with five straight wins after beating the Jazz. A lot of the changes are because Steve Kerr broke the traditional "talent picking" principle and let more new players play. Guys like Boyamski, Santos, TJD got their chance to play.
Of course, there will be new players coming in, old players leaving, and Klay Thompson becoming part of the team. In a recent press conference, Klay also mentioned his role reversal: "Maybe I can't play 60 points in three quarters and 37 points in one quarter like I used to, but I'm still a big threat on the court. "He wants to follow the example of Ray Allen or Reggie Miller and get more out of his career.
From arrogance to conciliation.
Frankly, Clay doesn't come across as someone who compromises easily. He was once the best two-way guard in the league. Even when he loses badly on the court, he sticks out four fingers and says, "Hey, man, I've won four championships and you've got nothing."
At a time when the Warriors were at a low point, there were a lot of trade rumors. First of all, there's the Wiggins thing. Paul joined the deal, followed by Clay. Perhaps Klay has learned his lesson, and if he wants to play better, he must first stay with the Warriors. If he can go to another team, he can reach his level, even if not to that level. But Curry is not there, Green will help him, and he will continue to stay in the starting five, which is the strong are respected, and the strong are respected.
What happened to Clay?
To put it simply, his performances are not coherent. Aside from Curry, he doesn't have any other consistent scoring ability, so it's a good thing that Kuminga can step up and turn the tide at this time. Anyone who likes to watch the Warriors know that Klay overplayed in this game, but not as well as he should. Playing the Suns, he scored only 5 points on 2-of-10 shooting. If Curry hadn't saved the Lakers at a critical time, then Klay would have choked.
Clay has been replaced by Kerr in the fourth quarter on several occasions in his last five games. He would rather trust Quinnons than Clay, because he never trusted him. Clay averages just 33 points per game8%, 24 from beyond the three-point line3%, but he averages just 110 points, 34 rebounds, 14 assists.
Over the course of the year, his average score was 171 point, 35 rebounds, 23 assists, 418% hit, 373% of the threes, and 558% three-point shooting. Compared to last season, he scored less than 4 points, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting were greatly reduced. Offensively, our team is not rich and our defense is poor.
Klay played 1,470 minutes, and the Warriors lost an average of 1. per 100 rounds9 points, but Klay missed 1008 minutes, and the Warriors unknowingly added 78 points, which is why the Warriors will have a 5. in 1008 minutes of playThe reason for 9 points. To put it simply, without Thompson, the Warriors would have won five more straight games this season.
The two best players for the Warriors are Boyamski, +158, +92 Kumingat. The so-called back waves of the Yangtze River, a generation of new people for the old, Clay's origin naturally needs not be said.
But Kerr put Clay on the bench, reserving what little dignity he had. Curry has also expressed his desire to retire with Tang San many times, and Green has also cheered for Klay from time to time!
