Warriors lost again! In the away game, he lost to Heat 109-116, giving his opponent the third victory of this season. His regular season record this season is only 3 wins and 5 losses, and his winning rate is only better than the Kings, Lakers and the Rockets! Judging from this data alone, what is the problem with the Warriors? One data proves the big trouble for the defending champion .
Judging from the data of the whole game alone, the Warriors' defensive performance in this game was not very bad. Before this game, the Warriors' average points per game was the highest of 122.0 points among the 30 teams in the league, but in this game the Heat only scored 116 points with a shooting percentage of 45.5%. Among them, the Heat's star, Jimmy Butler, , made only 6 of 17 shots.
The performance of the Warriors stars is not very bad, and the positive and negative values of the starting five tigers are both positive. Stephen Curry got his 10th triple-double in his career with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists. Wiggins scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists with a shooting percentage of 66.7%. Even Klay Thompson , who was in a sluggish state this season, scored 19 points. So, why did the Warriors lose to the Heat, who performed poorly this season?
The Warriors' substitute player's performance is too "laughing". This summer, Green hit a big contract with a big hit by . Jordan Poole scored only 9 points in 29 minutes of playing time but made 5 mistakes. It is a microcosm of the overall downturn of the Warriors substitute group. The Warriors had 5 players on the bench and played for no less than 9 minutes in the whole game, but their positive and negative values were negative, and the fewest losses were 8 points. Poole and Jamakao Green both had more than 20 points!
and the Warriors' substitute group are all negative. In a strong contrast, the positive and negative values of the four substitute players on the Heat are all positive and negative, and each of them has no less than +5. Among them, the once criticized Duncan Robinson has a positive and negative value of +19, and Vincent's positive and negative value reaches +29, which is far ahead of all players in the game!
It is not surprising that the Warriors' substitutes perform like this. Although Poole also played well this season, the Warriors' overall substitute habits are "lack" long ago. After losing several important substitutes last season, young talents such as Wiseman , Moody and Kumingga, who were highly anticipated, did not show their due level, resulting in the Warriors "diging holes" during the time period of the substitute lineup this season or instantly getting the advantages gained by the starter.
The Warriors do have super talent. The starting lineup has experienced many baptisms in the finals, and the draft picks of substitutes are not low. However, before the Warriors' substitute group can realize their talents, the Warriors' trouble will still exist, which is a big trouble on their road to defending their title. Perhaps, the Warriors can reduce the playing time of the substitutes to improve their regular season record, but that will only make the Warriors even more vulnerable in playoffs . Can the Warriors maintain this pain period?
