Today, the Warriors host the Clippers. The first two games were against non-playoff teams, even the bottom of the West. And today the Clippers are like a team competing for the playoffs, so the Warriors did not get a big win today, and even they lost at home. Of course, it has something to do with Curry's injury in the final quarter.

The reason why the Warriors won the first two games was related to Hield's short outburst. Hield burst out on the pitch for a short time and took away the game in waves. So the Warriors played very well in the first two games, and today they didn't play so easily against a strong team, Hield. The Clippers targeted Hield to guard hard, so Hield missed the three-point line today and shot 1-of-9 in the game. This game also gave the Warriors a lesson on how they can play well against strong teams.

After Thompson's departure, many people thought Hield had replaced Thompson's role. There's no denying that Hield does have a very good three-point shooting, but it's a bit biased to say that he completely replaces Thompson. First of all, the two of them are completely different types of players, although they are both pitchers, Hield is a pure offensive player, while Thompson is a 3-and-D player. Although his defense has deteriorated a bit at the moment, his defensive ability is still far better than Hield's. Thompson's current role with the Mavericks is also that of a defensive striker, and Kidd even asked him to lead the core guard on the opposite side.

When Hield can't shoot threes on the court, then he's a side effect on the court, because he's the ATM on the opposite side of the floor on the defensive end. So when you really meet the strong teams, you find out that Hield and Thompson are different. And on the offensive end, Thompson's ability to solve tough problems against strong teams is something Hield doesn't have.

Compared with Hield, Thompson has the ability to force shots against the opponent, although the shooting percentage has not been particularly high in recent seasons, but if Thompson finds his form, even if the opponent seals his face, he still can't limit his shooting. But Hield doesn't have that ability, and it comes down to the fact that Hield's shot height is too low, and the height difference between the two is huge. Thompson is a player of about 2 meters, while Hield is only in his early 1.9 meters, so Thompson has the ability to force shots, which Hield cannot compare.

There is also the fact that the resumes of the two sides are completely different, and Hield does not have too many models to prove his ability when facing strong teams. But Thompson has often been a game-changer for the Warriors in key games over the past few years, and he seems to be the type of player who comes out on top. So the two of them are completely different types of players, although they are both top shooters, one is still in 3D and the other is just a top pitcher. I wonder what the fans think?
