Warriors news: Kuminga has changed his appearance, the star is optimistic about the championship, and he will be updated against the Pacers.

There are three pieces of news coming out of the Golden State Warriors, let’s take a look.

Kuminga's new look

Yesterday, the Warriors with a full lineup played away against the Bucks, who were missing their number one Antetokounmpo. I originally thought this would be a unilateral defeat by the Warriors, but the result was surprising. The two teams could still play back and forth in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, the Warriors suddenly couldn't match the Bucks' offensive firepower, and were hit by consecutive offensive climaxes by the opponent. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Bucks without Antetokounmpo 110:120. Although they lost, Warriors forward Kuminga's performance was still remarkable. He played 33 minutes, made 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block. He was the most outstanding player on the Warriors team.

Today, according to US media statistics, Kuminga played 6 games this season, averaging 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.8 minutes per game. His three shooting percentages were 55.4%, 45% and 82.8%. All statistics set a five-year career high. The performance on the field is indeed as reflected in the data. Kuminga's change is very big. On the offensive end, he no longer plays strong attacks like in the past. Instead, he has learned to read the defense and knows how to find a balance between independent offense and assisting teammates, which makes him efficient. On the defensive end, Kuminga has also changed many bad habits and is focused. It is difficult for the players he is facing, including some superstars, to get an advantage. Obviously, after the offseason contract renewal incident, Kuminga has achieved transformation. Today, he has become what the management and fans expected. If he can keep it up, not only will he not be traded, he is even expected to take over the baton from Curry and become the new core of the Warriors in the next cycle.

Celebrities are optimistic about winning the championship

Today, NBA star and current basketball commentator Shaquille O'Neal praised the Warriors when he was a guest on a blog program called "The Rich Eisen Show" and believed that they are one of the teams with the most hope of winning the championship this season. O'Neal said: "I like the Warriors' style of play very much. Curry, Green, Horford, and Butler are all experienced veterans who have proven themselves. In addition, Kuminga has integrated well. I trust the Warriors five-man team more than any other team. As long as the Warriors continue to work together, they will definitely have a chance to compete for the championship." As of now, the Warriors are ranked fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses.

Fans have been talking about O'Neal's views, and some people said: "I agree with O'Neal's view. Curry, Cole, and Green are four-time champions. Horford also has championship experience. Although Butler has not won a championship, there are few big-hearted players in the league who perform better in the playoffs than in the regular season. In addition, Kuminga, Podemski, Moody, and Hope With a number of capable role players such as Erd, the Warriors really have a lot to do this season. "Some people said: "Forget it, the core lineup is seriously aging, and there is a question mark about whether it can stay healthy. Moreover, the Warriors are so poor inside. Once they encounter such a strong inside team, they will struggle very much. Let alone the championship, it may be difficult to break through the first round of the playoffs." So what do you think about this?

Updated appearance against the Pacers

Tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the morning, the Warriors will play against the Pacers away from home. Today, the Warriors officially released the injury list and appearance status of this game. Specifically, Melton (recovering from knee surgery), Toohey&Spencer&Jackson Rowe (two-way) will be absent; the rest of the players can play. It is worth mentioning that the Pacers are currently full of injuries. Five main players including Haliburton, Nembhard, and Marceline are unable to play. Their strength on the scene is far inferior to the Warriors with a complete lineup. By then, can the Warriors get rid of their bad habit of underestimating their opponents and win away from home? Let’s wait and see.
