Warriors official bad news, the inner core chasing green's calf injury is more serious than expected, after the waist MRI examination, as well as a number of expert consultation assessment, Green's previous calf pain and muscle tension, in fact, related to his waist disc overextension. According to the latest official news, ChaoMeng will receive physical therapy in the next few days and undergo injury assessment again in two weeks.
This news means that Green will be absent for at least two weeks, and after two weeks, he will assess his recovery from injury to see if he needs to continue the truce.
For the Warriors, Green's absence is undoubtedly a heavy blow, although the team has a super giant like Curry, Thompson is also ushering in a comeback is gradually adapting, but Green is the real offensive and defensive axis of this team, his excellent defense is the foundation of the Warriors' defensive system, and his strategy and cards at the top of the arc are an indispensable part of the Warriors' offensive system. It can even be said that in the whole team, no one can replace his role in defense and organizational strategy, and no one can cooperate with Curry like him, and pass many passes for Curry that can crack the opponent's bag.
Since entering January, the Warriors' record has not been ideal, only 4 wins and 4 losses, currently 2 wins behind the Suns, the first in the West, and Chasing Dream has missed 5 of them, and the Warriors' record is 2 wins and 3 losses! From this win rate, it is not difficult to find that after the Warriors entered January, due to the uneven personnel, the team's performance began to fluctuate, and the absence of Dream Green had a huge impact, especially the game that lost to the Bucks, which reflected the impact of the lack of dream chasing on the team's interior defense.
Of course, the Warriors have enough background to survive the crisis of Dream Green's absence, even if the team's record will still fluctuate, but this will not affect their determination to impact the championship, nor will they panic. It can even be said that the injury of chasing dreams may be a blessing for them, and the 19-year-old talented rising star Cuminga is also expected to seize this opportunity to officially take the position and grow into an important puzzle for the team to rush to the championship in advance.
In the past 3 games, because of the absence of dreams, Cumminga, the rookie began to enter Cole's regular rotation lineup, against the Pelicans, he played 20 minutes, contributed 13 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, against the Bucks, he played 19 minutes, contributed 15 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal, and the last game to play the Bulls, Cuminga played 26 minutes, efficiently bombed 25 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks of offensive and defensive all-round performance, showing his talent to the fullest.
It is not difficult to see that as the number of playing hours increases, and after gradually adapting to the rhythm of the game, Cuminga's performance is getting better and better, and he combines his physical condition and basketball talent well. And then the dream is absent from this time, Cuminga will still be an important member of the Warriors' front rotation, if this performance can be continued, then Cuminga's growth will exceed expectations, after all, at the beginning of the season, no one will expect Cuminga to enter the Rotation of the Warriors' championship lineup.
But then all this is likely to change, as long as Cumminga can make a steady contribution on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends as in the past few games, and when the dream returns, he will also become an important member of the team's front rotation, making the Warriors' frontcourt depth more abundant
