The state of the two games is completely different! The new Warriors forward star who got a new contract is too unstable.

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Golden State Warriors, playing at home, completed a huge comeback in the last quarter of the game and defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 129-123. After this game, the Warriors won two consecutive preseason games, while the Trail Blazers suffered a defeat in their first preseason game.

In this game, the performance of the Warriors' substitute forward star Jonathan Kuminga was not ideal, and there was a significant decline compared with the previous game. Kuminga played 18 minutes and 26 seconds, making 1 of 5 shots and 1 of 4 from beyond the three-point line. He had 3 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. He also had 4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His plus-minus value was as low as -17, the lowest in the team. Kuminga's performance on both ends of the offense and defense lacked highlights. He did not display his scoring ability on the offensive end. His touch on outside shooting was not ideal. He also had obvious problems with error control, and his performance on the defensive end was also relatively poor. Kuminga's performance in this game can be described as useless, and the team's situation when he was on the court was also in a mess. Kuminga's performance almost caused the team to suffer a disastrous defeat. Fortunately, the team's bench players were spirited enough to help the team recover the point difference. Otherwise, Kuminga's performance can be said to have directly affected the team's overall competitiveness.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kuminga was affected by injuries in 82 games and only played 47 times in total, averaging 24.3 minutes per game and averaging 24.3 minutes per game. 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, 1.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. The shooting percentage was 45.4%, the three-point shooting percentage was 30.5%, and the free throw percentage was 66.8%. In the playoffs, affected by the team's coaching staff's tactical arrangements, Kuminga only got 8 playing opportunities in 12 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game. He averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 1.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 48.4% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 71% from the free throw line. In the team's previous victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, Kuminga made 2 of 3 shots, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 0 of 2 free throws in 14 minutes and 44 seconds of playing time. He scored 5 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of +7.

Kuminga's performance in the previous preseason game was indeed at a very good level. Although he did not score too many points, he also showed certain passing and coping abilities in his limited playing time, which I believe exceeded everyone's expectations. However, it seems that Kuminga still has obvious problems in terms of stability. By this game, his condition has plummeted, which really makes people worried about his situation. Of course, Kuminga spent most of his energy on contract renewal negotiations this summer, which also caused him to spend a lot of time and may also affect his condition. I don’t know how the situation will develop next. Can Kuminga adjust his state and maintain his competitiveness?
