Warriors ball Thompson performed poorly this season. He averaged 15.4 shots per game, scored 15.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists, shooting percentage of 35.1% and three-point shooting percentage of 33%. The Warriors also have a poor record, currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference with 6 wins and 9 losses, and suffered an eight-game losing streak.
Regarding the current situation of the Warriors and Thompson's status, there are voices from the outside world that suggest him to play as a substitute and let Poole start. In response, Thompson responded in an interview: "I successfully helped the team win the championship last year, but people still don't recognize me, I can't please everyone. My success is based on efficiency and both offense and defense, and my state is full of recovery. I am confident that I will return to normal. Last year we experienced the same situation, and we finally won the championship. I have no doubt that we will win the championship again."
Thompson did not respond positively to the question of whether he would play as a substitute, but his answer has obviously given the answer - it is impossible to play as a substitute. Thompson is only 32 years old this year. If he is not injured, he will still be the best 3D player in the league. However, after experiencing two major injuries, the ability to attack and defense has declined significantly, which is undoubtedly.
But the problem now is that although Thompson's ability has declined, he does not know himself. He believes that as long as the team "feeds" him, he can still return to the top. Warriors will definitely give him this opportunity, Curry wishes to give Thompson every time he goes out of his phone, Green keeps feeding him the ball, Cole is also willing to give him tactics, and the Warriors' older generation players still believe in Thompson.
But in the long run, young players will have a sense of gap, especially Poole, who has just signed a big contract and is competitive. His intention to play as a starting player is very obvious. Under the same playing time, the data of Poole's starting player and substitute are completely different, especially today, playing , Suns , playing for 26 minutes on the bench, and scored 2 points from 0 of 5 shots. This is simply a silent protest. He was conveying the voice of "I want to play as a starting player" to Cole.
But there is no way, Thompson can get the support of Curry, Green and Cole. These people have absolute voice in the team, and Thompson is definitely worthy of such support. In this way, young people should be calm and calm. You have signed a big contract, so why not wait?
