Since the start of this season, the overall performance of Warriors is still very unsatisfactory. There are really many problems exposed by the team, and the existence of problems also makes the Warriors' prospects for defending their titles not optimistic. Among the problems existing in the team, substitutes account for a large part of the team's substitutes this season and the substitutes last season are really big.
(The following are the main substitutes last season: Ottoport, Payton Jr., Belica , Tostano Anderson, Damian Lee)
So what are the differences in substitutes reflected?
Let’s talk about it in detail below:
1. Weak defense
In terms of defense, the defensive ability of the Warriors substitute players this season is a world of difference compared to last season’s substitute. The defense cannot keep up and the frequent loopholes in defense are the most real situations of the team's substitutes. And in last season, both Porter and Payton Jr. were strong players at the defensive level in the team.
2. Without three-point shooting ability
As a major weapon for the team over the years, the Warriors are still very dependent on three-point shooting. However, this season, the new substitutes who joined the team did not have very outstanding three-pointers. Among the substitutes last season, Porter and Payton Jr. were very effective in three-point shooting.
Belica as the inside line, you can also turn to the outside line from time to time to shoot three points to put pressure on the opponent.
As for Anderson and Damian Lee, they can occasionally seize opportunities and make some three-pointers.
3. Motivation
In terms of motivation, the substitutes last season were also better than the substitutes this season.
This is a big reason for this. The substitutes last season worked very hard in order to prove themselves in order to make a fortune. The substitutes this season are relatively young, so they need to improve on the ideological level.
and above are my views. Everyone is welcome to discuss and supplement!
