On February 7, Beijing time, there were 3 messages from the Golden State Warriors, let's take a look.
Curry ** people baked
Yesterday, the Warriors played away against the Nets, and finally after four quarters of battle, the Warriors defeated the opponent 109-98. In this game, Warriors star Stephen Curry played well, contributing 29 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, but the best player belonged to his teammate Kuminga. In the whole game, Kuminga played 33 minutes, shot 9 of 18, 10 of 12 free throws, and cut 28 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, especially in the second half, scored 19 points alone, staged a number of wonderful flying dunks, beat the Nets' luxury forward group to shame, and led the Warriors to complete the comeback.
Today, according to a local report in the Bay Area, sources revealed that with Kuminga's recent outstanding performances, the Warriors have completely canceled their plans to trade him and are ready to treat him as Curry's first person to develop. According to statistics, in the past 10 games, Kuminga has cut 20+ 9 times, averaging 24 per game9 points 75 rebounds, shooting 59% from the field and 53 from three-point range8%。Judging from the process of the game, Kuminga is now playing efficiently and confidently, especially his impact is quite shocking, no matter what defender he faces after the start, he wants to finish with a dunk, and in terms of perception and destructiveness, he can even be comparable to Pelicans fierce Caien. Clearly, the Warriors made the decision to make such a talented and highly motivated young man a cornerstone for their future.
1-for-2 deal**
Today, according to Jake Fischer, a reporter from the American media "Yahoo Sports", the Bucks are desperately pursuing Warriors forward Wiggins, and proposed to the Warriors a plan to exchange Portis + Connaughton for Wiggins. 28-year-old Portis is 211m, weighing 113kg, plays as a power forward on the court, playing 50 games for the Bucks this season, averaging 23 per game7 minutes to get 126 points 69 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 50% from the field and 38% from three-point range; The 31-year-old Connaughton is 196m, weighing 94kg, plays as a guard on the court, and has played 44 games for the Bucks this season, contributing an average of 52 points 31 rebound 17 assists and 37 three-point shooting4%。
For the Warriors, Portis can block and dismantle and eat cakes on the offensive end, can also open up space and shoot efficiently, and has a good low-post single skill, which can enrich the team's offensive tactics, although the defensive end is easy to be targeted by opponents because of his slow footwork, but with his excellent static talent, he can provide a certain amount of protection, and he is the starting No. 4 candidate that the Warriors need; Connaughton is a good role player with a good shot and some individual defensive ability that can add depth and rotation to the Warriors' guard line. It is worth mentioning that Warriors coach Kerr has expressed his love for Portis more than once, and reused Portis when he coached the U.S. men's basketball team to the World Cup last year, which added more possibilities to the deal. With only two days left before the trade deadline, the Warriors are running out to make changes to their roster.
Battle 76ers appearance update
At 8:30 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow, the Warriors will play the 76ers on the road. Today, the Warriors officially updated the injury list and appearances for this game, specifically Paul (recovered from palm fracture repair surgery), Payton II (left hamstring strain, has returned to training, and will return soon) will be absent, Wiggins (foot injury) and Green (right knee contusion) are doubtful. At that time, facing the 76ers, who are also full of injuries, can the Warriors usher in a winning streak? It's worth the wait.
