Historical-level ironclad! 9 of 40 shots, 22.5% hit rate hits 11 years, Warriors Rising Star Falls

This game not only exposed the shortcomings of the Warriors team's tactics, but also pushed the cliff-like decline of the two young players, Podjemsky and Moody to the forefront. The "future core" that was once highly anticipated has now become a "black hole" that drags down the team.

Podjemsky averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting percentage of 44.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75.8%. At the end of the regular season, he averaged 20.6 points + 5 three-pointers per game, with a real shooting percentage of 76.5%, and was praised by fans as the "new god of soup".

In the first round against the Rockets, he still had 11 points and his shooting percentage was 38.4%, but he was completely awkward in the second round. In this game, he started for 33 minutes, made 3 of 14 shots, made 0 of 4 three-pointers, scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals, with a plus-minus value of -9.

In the past 4 games, he made a total of 9 of 40 shots, with a shooting percentage of 22.5%, directly setting the worst record in the series in the past 11 years in the NBA playoffs (at least 35 shots).

In addition to his overall shooting, his three-pointers disappeared. His three-point shooting percentage dropped to 18.2% in this round, compared with the 34.1% cliff-like decline against the Rockets in the first round.

NBA reporter Josh Dubow pointed out that Podjemsky's shooting percentage was even lower than 2014 Hawks player Antich (23.1%), becoming a "historical blacksmith".

In addition to Podjemsky's poor performance, Moody's fall was also shocking. Facing the Timberwolves' series, he only scored 6 points in total, averaging only 1.5 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 15%, which is completely different from the first round of 10 points + 38%.

He made 0 of 13 shots in the last three games, and missed at least 4 shots in three consecutive games, setting a worst record since 1998.

The Warriors who were behind 1-3 are already standing on the edge of the cliff. If they are eliminated, the team will have a lot of work to do this summer. Before the end of this season's trading, the Warriors were suffering. Fortunately, the Butler deal was completed, which allowed the team to "resurrect" and enter the playoffs.

But obviously, a Butler cannot solve all problems. The Warriors need to find the cornerstone of the team building at the end of Curry's career.
