The Warriors’ “Splash Brothers” are in two different situations this season. Superstar Stephen Curry is still performing at a high level, averaging 29.7 points per game; while Klay Thompson’s skills are not as good as before, with various statistics hitting career lows. , when he was interviewed by reporters a few days ago and was asked about head coach Steve Kerr’s scheduling, he gave a rare fierce response: “You want to put me on the bench now?”
Thompson will become a free agent at the end of this season, but as a four-time champion, he has yet to sign a contract extension with his parent team the Warriors. To make matters worse, Thompson’s efficiency this season is the lowest in his career, averaging 15 points and 3.3 points per game. He has 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists, and his total field goal percentage is only 4.02%. In the past year, he has not shot less than 40% from three-point range. This season, his three-point field goal percentage is 3.67%, which is not ideal. It also makes negotiations for next year’s “pension contract” more difficult. It’s difficult. With the Warriors team’s salary tight, I’m afraid they won’t be able to get an ideal contract.
The performance on the court was sluggish, and Thompson was naturally in a bad mood. Today, he accepted a joint interview with reporters after the team’s training. A reporter from “The Athletic” asked: “Kerr once said that he would give the starting players more patience. What do you think about this?” Why?” Thompson smiled slightly after hearing this and immediately responded: “You want to bench me? Or do you want Wiggins (Andrew Wiggins) to sit on the bench?”
Thompson went on to say that the Warriors have a lot of experience in solving such problems. “Sometimes you get patience and time to get back your skills. I think history is on our side. I don’t care what people say. After all, they are not involved. , can’t do what we’re doing, that’s why they gossip, and at this stage of life, I don’t care what they say.”
Thompson is now 33 years old, and it is inevitable to enter the decline period of his career. In addition, he has suffered two serious foot injuries, which really makes fans worry that he will not be able to regain his former top shooter style. This season, he has fallen into a big slump with Wiggins. The two average points were only 11.8 points. The two’s inefficiency prevented the team’s fire network from connecting, becoming a key factor in the Warriors falling out of the top 8 in the Western Conference.
