Scored 35 points in vain! Curry burned, Kerr blew himself up! The two-game winning streak was terminated!

It is a pity that the Golden State Warriors, who had just won two consecutive games and were in full swing, capsized in Portland in the third game of the season. What's even more outrageous is that this defeat was neither due to Curry's decline in form nor the opponent's sudden rampage. The more problem was mainly due to coach Cole's micromanagement.

Looking back before the start of the new season, the Warriors were not favored. They did not make any big moves in the offseason signing market. After losing their youth and fighting ability, all they left behind were veteran faces. The media also spoke ill of these old people. As a result, in the first two games of the season, the Warriors slapped everyone in the face.

Facing the Lakers led by Doncic and the Nuggets led by Jokic, Curry's strong performance helped the Warriors win two consecutive victories. Facing the Trail Blazers in the rebuilding stage in the third game, everyone thought it would be an easy trip with three consecutive wins. Unfortunately, reality is often much more magical than the plot. Even if Curry is still full of firepower, the team is outplayed by his own people.

Originally the team was in good shape, and the most logical thing to do was to stabilize the position, but Cole suddenly had an idea and put Podemski on the bench and pulled Post into the starting lineup. Originally, Podemski was Curry's second passing point, mainly to share the pressure of organization and ball-handling. However, this sudden change of formation directly led to the sudden collapse of the Warriors system.

Butler was forced to serve as a shooting guard and was completely out of touch with his own game rhythm. He only scored 14 points in the entire game. It was even more disastrous after Podemski was moved to the second team. Without the restraints of Curry and Butler, there were fewer open opportunities, and the defense was also caught by the opponent. He only scored 8 points on 2 of 9 in the game.

What's worse is that Post, who is new to the starting lineup, also performed mediocrely, with no bright spots on both offense and defense. The three-position rotation directly caused a chain reaction, completely disrupting the Warriors' offensive rhythm.

Behind this series of sluggish players, if there is any bright spot for the Warriors, it is Curry.

Faced with the Trail Blazers' front line, the 37-year-old Curry played 27 minutes, making 12 of 22 shots and 7 of 14 three-pointers from outside. He scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Unfortunately, there was no second player around him who could keep up with the offensive rhythm. Except for Curry, no one on the team scored more than 20 points.

The offensive end was a mess, and the defensive end was directly penetrated.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers flourished more on the offensive end, with eight players on the team scoring in double figures. Avdija, who was in the core position, felt hot and scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the game. Kamara scored 19 points and 7 rebounds. Sharp and Holiday contributed 17 points, 4 rebounds, 12 points and 11 assists respectively. Grant, who came off the bench, scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Chris Murray scored 13 points and Thybulle also scored 10 points.

Under the multi-point scoring frenzy, the Warriors were completely unable to find a way to win. In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors 139-119 at home, ending the Warriors' two-game winning streak.

Besides the competition, there is another focus that deserves special attention, which comes from Yang Hansen.

This summer, the Trail Blazers selected the Chinese teenager with the 16th pick in the first round. He performed well throughout the summer league and preseason. Many fans are hoping that he can make some amazing starts in the regular season.

It’s a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances. After the opening game of the new season, Trail Blazers coach Billups was exposed and arrested for gambling. This incident directly shocked the league and cast a shadow over Yang Hansen's rookie season. After all, without the trust of the coach, it may be difficult for newcomers to get stable playing time.

In this victory over the Warriors, Yang Hansen only played for less than 8 minutes, scoring 2 points on 1 of 3 shots. His personal data is mediocre. At present, he is still in the process of adapting to the NBA.

Returning to the losing Warriors side, Curry is naturally fine. He is still the person who can change the direction of the game, but the more problematic problem is that the Warriors' system seems to be aging. Cole's past passing and cutting system seems to have been difficult to ensure a stable chemical reaction without Durant and Klay, Green is gradually aging, and Butler's state is ups and downs.

Although the expectations are a bit exaggerated, they still reflect some reality. For the Warriors who aim to compete for the championship at the end of Curry's career, they have little room for error at this stage. Especially in the Wild West, every failure has the potential to be a butterfly effect.

Especially with Curry at this stage, they can no longer waste any more games.
