Five wins in a row! Hield, who broke out at the beginning of the season, is no longer crazy and has now lost Kerr's trust

The Warriors lost again in today's game against the Nuggets and are now on a five-game losing streak. Many fans have once again seen some of the old problems of the Warriors before, which are still unresolved. Although the Warriors were in good shape at the beginning of the season, many fans were cheering. The Warriors' new signings have also been very good. But as the season progressed, the teams learned about the Warriors' new roster, and the Warriors began to slowly reach a bottleneck.

Why did the Warriors have a great start to the season? It all came down to the impressive play of three players, Hield, Melton and Kyle Lee, and now Melton has suffered an injury, so the Warriors have lost a starter-caliber player. Hield's recent decline in form is also one of the reasons for the Warriors' losing streak.

Hield was in excellent form at the start of the season, even hitting seven three-pointers in a single game. But with the teams guarding Hield, Hield's scoring is now not as explosive as before. The teams learned about Hield's way of playing with the Warriors, so now Hield is having a hard time even making shots. So in recent times, you've noticed that Hield's points per game average has dropped significantly.

In his last 13 games, he has scored more than 20 points. And against the Nuggets today, he only scored 6 points. So when Hield is thoroughly studied by the opponent, the Warriors will be in trouble, and they will fall into the same old problems. That is, there is no second consistent scoring point other than Curry. Why did the Warriors lead the league in bench scoring at the start of the season? It all boiled down to the explosion of Hilde. Now that his scoring is down, it's only natural that the Warriors' stats will slip as well. The Warriors are now far less scoring off the bench than they were at the beginning of the season.

More importantly, with Hield's form declining, Kerr seems to be slowly losing trust in him at the moment. Hield's average playing time per game has been very low in recent times. It's hard for him to play more than 25 minutes. He only played 21 minutes in today's game against the Nuggets, and Kerr barely let him appear in crunch time.

Why didn't Kerr dare let him play in crunch moments? It comes down to being so poor in Hield's defense. When he can't hit the ball consistently on the court, his defense plays a side effect. So Kerr wouldn't dare to use this type of player. Now many fans understand why Hield didn't become a sought-after player in the offseason, he does have some weaknesses of his own that cannot be changed, and he has not proven himself in the playoffs. That's what many teams worry about him.
