scored eight straight points in the final quarter, but was abandoned at a critical moment, and Kerr made a stupid substitution to bury the victory

Today, the Warriors hosted the Thunder, and they lost 101-105 to the Thunder. Curry is absent in this game, so it will be a very challenging game for the Warriors, after all, the opposite Thunder is a strong team in the West. Although the Warriors fell behind in the first half, they overtook the score in the second half through stubborn counterattacks, but they fell into a scoring drought at the final critical moment and finally lost the game.

The reason why the Warriors lost today came down to the fact that none of the players who came on the court in the final minutes were able to score consistently. So after losing Curry, their disadvantage became apparent. But there was one player who was outstanding in the fourth quarter, but he didn't show up in the last few crucial minutes, and that was Kyle Lee.

Lee Kyle is a player who is not known for his goals. His current position with the Warriors is not good. , but today he scored 8 points in a short time in the fourth quarter, and when he came on the court, the impact on the offensive end of the Warriors was huge, and he used his unique rhythm to constantly hit the basket to score, creating a lot of 2+1 opportunities. Many fans think that Li Kaier should appear in the final critical moment, and he should play the last time. However, Kerr opted to replace him in the decisive moments. It was this stupid substitution that completely disrupted the Warriors' rhythm on the offensive end of the court.

Attentive fans should find that when Li Kaier comes on the court, his offensive combing is very effective. Lee Kyle's basketball IQ is in no way inferior to Green's. The Warriors didn't work at all in the final moments, so it was up to Kyle Lee to use his unique rhythm to create some basket-scoring opportunities. And in this game, Li Kaier's rhythm seems to be impossible to judge by the young players of the Thunder team, and it can be said that it has been tried and tested. So Cole's substitution was the turning point of the game.

Cole's decisions at the last critical moment are sometimes puzzling. Why did Waters and Podemsky appear at the last critical moment? Kerr still can't seem to change his penchant for using defenders. In Curry's absence, it was clear that the final moments would be better suited to use some tall players. It's better for going down to the basket to do some damage. Because other shooters on the Warriors other than Curry don't have the ability to attack with the ball on their own, Hield is no exception. So hopefully Kerr can sum up the losses in these games and carefully consider the use of personnel at key moments.
