The Hornets are not only playing back-to-back games, but the team's top scorer Rozier and core player Ball also did not appear, missing two starters, and they still played continuously, and their physical fitness was not guaranteed. In this situation that was not conducive to themselves, they actually defeated the defending champion Warriors. The Warriors started a row of road trips, including two back-to-back games, so the result of the first game is crucial. Facing the weak Hornets, there is no second choice, and victory is the only goal, but the Warriors did not get what they wished. They lost to the Hornets in overtime and have not won away in the away game so far in the new season.
2022-22 season, the Warriors' record was 3 wins and 3 losses, with a winning rate of 50%, currently ranks ninth in the West.
Through six games, we can see that the Warriors have many problems. First of all, Thompson's competitive state is not good, his shooting percentage is very low, and his defense is full of loopholes. The second problem is that the substitute players perform poorly, and young players still need time to learn. At present, their progress is not fast. The Warriors have a poor start in the new season, with a winning rate of only 50%. The Spurs and Timberwolves have better results than them. If they cannot find a solution to the problem, the Warriors are likely to be getting bigger and bigger with the teams in the front, which is not good news for defending the title.
The Warriors and Hornets met. Before the game, there were almost no fans optimistic about the Hornets winning. The process and results of the game were completely different from what we predicted. Because Curry did not hit the final goal, the two sides could not decide the winner in four quarters. The game could only enter overtime. The Hornets scored thirteen points in overtime, while the Warriors only scored six points. In the end, the Hornets won at home. Curry missed the accuracy of the outside and actually missed ten three-pointers. Although he scored the highest score in the game, his performance can only be said to be average. Influenced by Curry, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%. Thompson made only one seven shot, and Splash Brothers could not find the basket at the same time, so losing became inevitable.
The young players that the Warriors focus on training are Wiseman and Kumingga. Let's take a look at the game data of these two players. Wiseman played for four minutes, and his score and rebounds were zero, he got an assist, and three other fouls. The next three quarters of the game were directly abandoned by Cole . Kumingga played for three minutes and only grabbed one rebound. He also performed very poorly and could only make a debut in the first quarter. The second team is only , Poole , and his scoring ability is getting stronger and stronger, but he is only twenty-three years old. This is just his fourth season in his career. The second team can only rely on him alone, which is far from enough.
After the game, Curry took the responsibility for the defeat. In an interview, he said that he wanted to hit the final shot in his hometown, so he had a bad choice for the last attack and should be more rational. Curry was indeed a little willful in the last quarter. He wanted to accept the game too much, so when he didn't find the shooting feel, he chose to take action continuously with high difficulty. As a result, he made a blow again and again, and eventually lost the opportunity to overtake. The Warriors have to play four consecutive away games, and they have not won the away game yet, so the Warriors have encountered great difficulties.
