3 points, 8 points, 8 points, Hield's honeymoon period is over, and he still can't replace Thompson after all

Today, the Warriors lost to the Clippers. In the end, he lost the first position in the West. So far this season, the Warriors have lost three games, two of which have come to the Clippers. It can be seen that the Clippers know the Warriors very thoroughly. In today's game, although Curry personally scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, he still couldn't help the team win.

Attentive fans will notice that Hield has often played very poorly in the games that the Warriors have lost. This proves that as long as the opponent is serious about choking Hield, it may be difficult for the Warriors to win. As the season progressed, teams began to understand Hield's style of play with the Warriors and began to focus on his targeted defense. Hield had a very good start to the season. As the season progresses, opponents are paying more and more attention to Hield's strict defense, and Hield's honeymoon period is now over.

Hield have failed to score in double figures in three of their last five games. He scored just three points against the Cavaliers, eight against the Thunder and eight against the Clippers. All three of these teams are strong teams in the league, so it can be difficult for Hield to play well when opponents put more defensive pressure on him. Many fans believe that this alone cannot replace Thompson's role before.

Many fans have always believed that the current Hield can replace the previous role of Thompson. But what many fans overlook is that Hield lacks a strong shooting skill set compared to Thompson. Although many fans criticized Thompson's continuous strong shots before. But it is undeniable that when playing some strong teams, when you can't take a chance, you just need a strong shot from the shooter. Hield doesn't have that ability, he has to have a space to make a shot.

Nowadays, many teams directly can't defend Hield, which is the biggest difference between Hield and Thompson. Thompson is tall enough to force shots directly against defenders, while Hield doesn't have that ability. In Thompson's past resume, he is often strong when he meets a strong team. Hield, on the other hand, have not proven that he can play consistent stats against strong teams. In the past, Hield often did not play particularly well when he faced strong teams.

So that's the biggest difference between the two players. Of course, Hield never reached Klay Thompson's star level from start to finish. Even though many fans are currently holding Hield very high, his true ability has not yet reached the level that can make opponents fearful. When this team really makes it to the playoffs, it may still need to rely on Curry to turn the tide one game at a time. I wonder what the fans think?
