In today's regular season, Suns successfully defeated the Warriors who came to challenge 134 to 105 at home. It has to be said that the intensity of this game is really like playoff . The Suns also showed their strong offense and defense strength, and their execution ability is definitely better than the Warriors in this game. However, the Warriors played back and forth with the Suns in the first half, until halftime, and the score gap between the two sides did not widen. The only turning point was that in the third quarter, the Warriors were best at, they were led by 13 points in a single quarter, which also laid the Suns' advantage in victory. As the Warriors' starting star Klay Thompson was also expelled from the game for the first time.
When the game is in the third quarter, we can see from the game screen that Thompson has been arguing around Book . I wonder if any fans think of the scene of the scene where the brave cavalry fight Thompson quarreling around James . After this verbal conflict, the referee also gave Thompson a technical foul . Since he had two technical fouls in total, Thompson was directly expelled from the field. This expulsion was also the first time Thompson was expelled from the field in his career. It can be seen that Thompson, who has always been peaceful, could not hold back at this time. It may be due to psychological pressure after a serious injury, or it may be due to poor performance tonight. In short, it can be seen that Clay broke the defense.
After the game, Booker also revealed what the trash Clay said to him was: "I have four champions." In just such a short sentence, Clay kept repeating. Booker later expressed his respect for Thompson, saying that he might be frustrated by his poor performance tonight, he enjoyed the competition with Clay, and he also wanted to have the championship ring like Clay. Perhaps, Clay needs to adjust his state well. After all, he was a sharpshooter before, and he had all kinds of superb three-pointers and set some three-point records. Now he has returned from a serious injury and is far from before, so there must be a big gap in his heart.
However, the referee was very flirting with the third quarter. The Warriors were in the stage of chasing, and the starting lineup began to have a momentum to counterattack, but unexpectedly, in just one quarter, the referee actually blew seven technical fouls, Booker, Clay, Paul and others all had it. Although both teams have technical fouls, for the Warriors who are disadvantaged, it is better not to play 50 big rebounds each than to play 50. The Suns, who are in the advantageous side, just stabilize the situation and are not in a hurry at all. However, the Warriors are different. The waves they often appear are to be produced by starting a trend. Therefore, for the Warriors, the sound of these technical fouls has also affected them to a certain extent. However, if you want to blame them, you can only blame them for not being able to take the lead in advance and get the initiative.
In addition, the Warriors have had quite a few problems recently. From the start of the game to now, we can say that they have caused poor record for training, but one thing that cannot be ignored is about their defense. The establishment of the Warriors dynasty in the past was not exchanged for jump shots as Barkley said, but was rooted in their strict defense. The four famous arresters are also the trump card of the Warriors of the Dynasty. However, after Payton and Porter last season, the Warriors now do not have such superior defensive resources, and they are very useful in starting, but the substitutes lack defensive experience and can only grow step by step. According to statistics from Warriors reporters, the Warriors' defensive efficiency has fallen to the bottom of the league. If it cannot be reversed, the difficulty index of defending the title this season is not very large.
