There have been many surprises for the Warriors this season, the biggest of which is that Hield's arrival has taken the Warriors' overall three-point level to a new level. Hield made a total of 12 three-pointers in those two games, shooting 75% from three-point range overall. Hield's three-point prowess has really ecstatic a lot of fans. But in addition to Hield's surprises, fans are also excited about the form of two of the Warriors' veterans, Wiggins and Looney.

Wiggins had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first game, shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and although he was mediocre on the offensive end of the game, he was very good in other areas, especially in the rebounding competition. Wiggins grabbed a total of 13 rebounds today, five of which were frontcourt rebounds. And Looney also grabbed 10 rebounds in today's game, seven of which were frontcourt rebounds. The two grabbed a combined 12 frontcourt rebounds in the game and created 12 offensive opportunities for the Warriors.

Last season, Wiggins did experience family misfortune and family gloom. But when the gloom cleared, Wiggins finally put all his attention on basketball. Wiggins' motivation on the court this season is unmatched last season. If Wiggins can return to the top, it will mean a lot to the Warriors. Because in 2022, the Warriors were able to win that year's championship thanks to Wiggins' outstanding performance in the playoffs and the Finals. In that year, Wiggins' role was second only to Curry.

And Looney was somewhat abandoned by Kerr's strategy last season. You know, Looney has played a very important role in the Warriors before, and he has always been synonymous with tough guys. And it's hard to replace the role of inside rebounding. But Looney did see a noticeable dip last season, especially in rebounding, defending under the basket and moving defensively. In the offseason, Looney lost weight and strengthened his mid-to-long-range shooting. Now Rooney seems to be starting to return to the top, you must know that Looney is only 28 years old this year, which is the peak age of a player.

So if Looney can get back to the top, then the Warriors also have a guarantee on the inside. He and Jackson Davis Jr. will form an interior double-wall, and Kerr won't have to worry about rotation on the inside. It can be said that the return of Looney and Wiggins form will definitely greatly improve the competitiveness of the Warriors. In fact, these two games have been reflected on the pitch.

This year, the overall defensive ability of the Warriors has improved qualitatively, which is also inseparable from the contributions of Melton and Lee Kyle to the Warriors on the defensive end. In particular, Li Kaier is an extremely smart player on the field, and the data cannot clearly reflect his value. Overall, the Warriors have undergone a seismic shift in their overall offensive and defensive outlook this year. At the moment, this Warriors team really can't be underestimated.
