The value of the center is very obvious! The Warriors inside player played his role well on the court

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G1, the Golden State Warriors, ranked 7th in the Western Conference in the regular season, defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, ranked 6th in the Western Conference in the regular season, successfully completed the following draw. After this game, the Warriors also widened the total score of the series to 1-0 and regained the home advantage.

In this game, the performance of the Warriors' substitute center Kevon Looney is still worthy of recognition. Looney played 14 minutes and 07 seconds in the game, made 1 of 2 shots, scored 2 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. He also had 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +4. Looney also played his role well. Although his scoring ability on the offensive end is very limited, although he has not received any ball rights on the offensive end, nor has any support or help from other aspects, he has also played a good effect on the defensive end. He has shown good rebound protection ability, and his overall role on the defensive end is also very outstanding. He also has good ability to protect the basket, and his defensive coverage area is also very large. Overall, Looney's effect on the court is worthy of recognition. He also played his role well, and he also made his own contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Looney played a total of 76 games in 82 games, averaging 15 minutes of playing time, averaging 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 51.4%, three-point shooting percentage 40%, and free throw shooting percentage 56.6%. In the playoffs, Looney averaged 9.9 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 1.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 42.9% and free throw percentage of 50%.

Loney's performance in the regular season is also considered to be average, and he can also show his value in rebounding protection and defense. Of course, his ability on the offensive end is indeed very limited, and it is indeed difficult for him to play his role in this regard. However, it seems that it is difficult for Looney to gain the trust of the team's coaching staff in the playoffs. He has less and less playing time, and his role and tactical status on the court are getting lower and lower. The problem is that Looney's playing time in the first few games of the first round series directly led to the team's loss of power in the inside, resulting in the team's passiveness and disadvantage in terms of the situation. In the G7 series, Looney also got a lot of playing time, and his stable performance also helped the team win. In this round of the series, the Timberwolves' inside strength is also not bad. Looney also got a lot of playing time in this game, and his outstanding performance also helped the team win again. It seems that the value of centers is also very outstanding in the playoffs. The center may not play much, but it is absolutely impossible not to give the center a playing time.
