Cole said that Thompson is recovering well, but he will not participate in the next five consecutive visitors with the team (Warriors will face Magic and Trailblazers at home, and then a wave of five consecutive visitors will be opened, and the Sixers, Pacers, Knicks, Celtics and Raptors will be challenged away), and he will continue to stay in San Francisco for 5V5 recovery training.
According to American media reports, Thompson's goal is to complete his comeback at home. After five consecutive visits, the Warriors will return to their home court to face the Kings on February 2, 65438, and the second home court will face the Grizzlies on February 24, 65438. If all goes well, Thompson will basically complete his comeback in these two home games.
It is certainly a good thing that Thompson's comeback time is finalized. 20 19 offseason, Warriors renewed Thompson for 5 years1900,000. More than two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Thompson has never played for the Warriors since he got the highest salary contract. In the first year, the warriors were psychologically prepared. Thompson suffered a severe tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee before renewing his contract. Thompson is preparing for his comeback in the offseason in 2020. However, during a training session, he was seriously injured by a broken achilles tendon.
After continuous serious injuries, Thompson admitted in an interview that his athletic ability was not as good as that of his peak. However, he said that he is not a slam dunk master, and the game mode is three-pointers, so the decline in athletic ability has no effect on him.
Thompson said something. Thompson is good at shooting three-pointers. Curry was asked in the interview who could match his three-pointers, and Thompson came to Curry's first thought. James is full of praise for Thompson's shooting, thinking that watching Thompson's shooting can last all day. Thompson averaged 7.5 3-point shots and shot 44.3% in the playoffs in 20 18- 19 season.
But Thompson is not completely right. The decline of athletic ability may have little effect on Thompson's offense, but he should not be too optimistic on the defensive end. Before the injury, Thompson was the top defensive player in the league and was selected as the best defensive second team. After the decline in athletic ability, Thompson's defense on the outside line is difficult to return to the peak level.
But in any case, as long as Thompson can recover to 80% of his peak, the Warriors will be strong. Before Thompson was injured, he was a real all-star and two top masters. As long as Thompson can recover to 80% of his peak, he is also a quasi-all-star and an excellent second-in-command
The Warriors are now ahead of the league without Thompson. When Thompson came back, they had the Big Four (Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Dreamcatcher-Green). The Warriors 4 giants are finally going to fit in, which is naturally great news for Warriors fans. But for other teams, this is not a good thing.
Although he has been away from the NBA2 for more than two years, the Warriors have promised to start him when Thompson returns. Jordan Poole, who has performed well this season, has to play as a substitute. Cha Jordan averaged 18.2 points, 3 rebounds and 3.4 assists 1 steals this season, shooting 46% from the field and 35.3% from three-pointers. Any team can play this kind of performance. Thompson can only play as a substitute after his comeback. You can imagine how extravagant the warriors are now. I think so. Their salary is the first in the league, and they get what they want.
But for the Warriors, another piece of news is neither good nor bad. Cole said that Wiseman is currently undergoing personal training and plans to return in June+10, 5438. Wiseman is the second in 2020 and is also called "Curry Terminator" by many fans. The reason is that before Wiseman was injured last season, Curry played no matter how well, and the Warriors lost more and won less. After Wiseman was injured, the Warriors triumphed and played the style of the championship team.
Statistics show that last season, among all the center players, Wiseman ranked first from the bottom in efficiency. After Wiseman's comeback, will it once again become the burden of Curry and the burden of the Warriors?
