things are probably like this. Yesterday in the regular season, Warriors beat 
2-95 at home and scored 237 points. This is the most exciting game the Warriors have won this season. Curry only scored 16 points and accepted the victory . For comparison, none of the five wins won by the Warriors before, Curry scored less than 32 points in one of them, and he averaged 37.2 points per game.
这场比赛，普尔的表现最为出色，他全场首发出战了29分钟，投篮20中13，三分10中5，罚球6中5，得到36分2篮板2助攻3抢断，在场正负值高达+33，全队最高。
After the game, some media showed off the different performances of Poole's starting and substitute this season:
—Puer's starting three games, averaged 28.7 points and 5.0 assists per game, shooting percentage of 48%, three-point shooting percentage of 39%
—Puer's substitute In 11 games, averaged 13.9 points and 4.1 assists per game, shooting percentage of 43%, and three-point shooting percentage of 32%
In view of Poole's excellent performance when starting, the well-known sports media BR posted a photo of Poole and Thompson , and then wrote: Should the Warriors consider letting Poole replace Thompson in the starting lineup?
Honestly, the topic of "Would Thompson be substitute" has appeared this season. The main reason for is not only because of Poole's good performance when starting, but also because of Thompson's poor form this season.
In the last game of defeating the Spurs, Thompson did not play, but in the previous three games, Thompson's performance was:
— against the Kings, 6 of 18, scored 16 points,
— against the Knights, 3 of 13, scored 9 points,
— against the Kings, 6 of 16, scored 17 points, 2
against the Kings, 6 of 16, scored 17 points, 2 against the Kings, 3 of 13, scored 9 points,
— against the Kings, 6 of 16, scored 17 points, 2
Season so far, Thompson has played in a total of 11 games, each of which is a starter. averages 28.5 minutes of playing time, scored 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists . His scoring is the lowest since the rookie year, and his efficiency is also extremely poor. currently has 35.1%/33.0%/75.0% of the three shooting rates, and the real shooting rate is 46.7% . All of the above four numbers are Thompson's lowest in his career. What is the rough concept of
? Before the serious injury, Thompson had three-point shooting percentage of more than 40% for eight consecutive seasons. even last season, that is, the first year after Thompson returned from a serious injury, his three-point shooting percentage could still be 38.5%, and his real shooting percentage was 54.7% - it is said that the second year after returning from injury will be healthier and better, but from the result, this is not the case.
In addition to not making shots on the offensive end, Thompson's decline on the defensive end is also visible to the naked eye. This can be clearly seen from playoffs last season. In terms of data, Thompson's DBPM this season is -2.4, ranking last in all regular rotations of the Warriors team , and his BPM is -5.1, and only Kumingga (-7.1) is lower than him.
You can see that Thompson is indeed not the original Thompson. He himself admitted in a recent interview: " My best condition was in 2019. I know I can't go back, but even though I only recovered 90%, I am still an excellent player, we are still a Champions League team. ”
For my poor start of the season, Thompson said: " I firmly believe that I will get back to my state, I have no doubts about this . I did it last season. We won the championship. I have no doubts that we will return to that position. It is not as good as practice.”
That being said, the Warriors' situation this year is too different from last year. finished the first 20 games last season, and the Warriors' record was 18 wins and 2 losses, but the first 14 games of this season, and the Warriors' record was only 6 wins and 8 losses - look at the increasingly crazy West, this year's Warriors may not be that Time to let Thompson find his state.
As for the starting and substitute issues, to be honest, Poole's starting games were indeed better at the beginning. He only started 3 games, and he won 30+ in 2 games. , but it is not very likely to let Poole replace Klay start. The main reasons are two :
, Warriors' substitute this year is not bad. Poole went to the starting lineup, and the substitute may only be worse
, Thompson and Poole are different in types, Poole prefers to hold the ball, Thompson does not have the ball html l5
The fact is, In the past week, Kehl has been asked more than once "whether is considering letting Poole replace Thompson into the starting lineup", and the answers he gave are "no" . After winning the Spurs, Kehl said this: "At this stage, we have no consideration to keep him (Poole) in the starting lineup. We have a fixed starting lineup, and they play very, very well. "
Looking at Thompson today, it is indeed a bit complicated. He is the Warriors' four-champion champion. He was once one of the best 3Ds in the league and even in history. As a result, both 3 and D have declined - due to injuries, the defensive end may never go back. hopes that the offensive end will only start slowly. Thompson now needs a game to prove himself.
