The Warriors’ total salary soared to US$210 million this season, once again leading the league, but the team did not show the expected combat effectiveness.thompson(Klay Thompson) andWiggins(Andrew Wiggins)’s decline has become an obstacle for the Warriors to win the championship again.
In the past, the Warriors were one of the teams best at reversals, but now they are repeatedly reversed by their opponents. In the last game against the Thunder, Stephen Curry could not save the Warriors even if he scored 10 points in the overtime. Two major helpers Both Thompson and Wiggins were invisible and did not score 1 point.
Thompson scored 22 points in this game and made 4 of 9 three-pointers. It was already one of his best games this season. Thompson scored a single-game high of 23 points this season, averaging 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. He shot 40.4% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range. He did not have the aura of an All-Star player at all.
Retired Gilbert Arenas commented: “Guys like Klay Thompson, he never improves. You are a spot-up shooter, even if you have 4 rings, you are still just a spot-up shooter. “
Wiggins is in even worse shape this season, averaging only 12.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 42.1% from the field, 27.7% from three-point range, and 62.7% from free throws. Is this performance still Mr. Billion Dollar? At 28 years old, he is actually in his prime age and has no major injuries. He seems to be playing healthy basketball.
Wiggins, who is worth close to 110 million, is unreliable, and Thompson can’t go back. The Warriors’ luxury battleship, which has a total salary of US$210 million this season, now seems to have no strength to compete for the championship.
The lonely Curry needs helpers, and head coach Steve Kerr needs to tap into the potential of young players and reinforce them through trades.
