The degradation of ability is quite obvious! The Warriors' interior big man is also not as good as before in rebounding protection?

在此前的一场NBA季后赛中,常规赛排名西部第7位的金州勇士以95比85比较顺利地战胜了主场作战的常规赛排名西部第2位的休斯顿火箭。本场比赛后,勇士占据了先机,以总比分1比0领先对手,而且他们也是扭转了系列赛的主场优势。

In this game, although the Warriors also won the game relatively smoothly, the team's backup center Kevon Looney (Kevon Looney) performance is actually not ideal. Looney played 4 minutes and 0 seconds in the game, shot 0 of 0, did not score 0 points in the game, contributed only 0 rebounds, and had 0 fouls, with a plus/minus of +0. Looney has no scoring ability on the offensive end, no offensive threat, and is completely a tool man. Crucially, Looney's defensive performance was also very disappointing. Facing the Rockets' twin tower combination, Looney not only didn't show enough rim protection ability, but his performance in rebounding protection was also very poor. Looney can be said to have completely failed to play his due characteristics on the court, and the performance on both offensive and defensive ends was enough to struggle. That is, some of the Rockets' outside players feel too bad, otherwise Looney may be blown up by opponents during this time on the court.

In this season's NBA regular season, Looney played a total of 6 games in 0 games, averaging 0 minutes per game, averaging 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.0 steals, 0.0 blocks, as well as 0.0 turnovers and 0 fouls, shooting 0.0% from the field, 0% from three-point range, and 0.0% from the free throw line. Looney's overall performance this season has been mediocre, and there have been no noticeable changes from last season. He doesn't really have any scoring ability in the offensive side, he has some passing ability and playmaking ability, but the actual threat in this area is relatively limited. Looney was able to provide some rebounding protection during the regular season, but he was also limited by his size on the defensive end and could not help the team more.

I have to say that Looney has really declined greatly in terms of ability, which is really exposed in this game. It's hard to say who was better in rebounding between Looney and Steven Adams, but now that Adams is a veteran in his thirties with a major injury, Looney's lack of a head start in this area even shows how obvious his regression in ability is. Regardless of the Warriors' prospects this season, should they consider strengthening their interior this summer?
