129:123! The Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers. In this preseason game, the Trail Blazers' Chinese player Yang Hansen attracted much attention. This was the first NBA preseason game of his career. Since Yang Hansen is quite popular in China, this game also received unparalleled attention! But in the end, his performance was unsatisfactory and did not meet the expectations of the outside world! As a newcomer, he needs to grow up patiently. At the same time, the outside world does not need to be discouraged by him, he still has great potential!

Although the Warriors won the game, the performance of the team's general Kuminga was not ideal. He played 18 minutes, made 1 of 5 shots from the field, and only scored three points. At the same time, he made 4 personal errors on the court, and his plus-minus value on the court was -17, the lowest in the team! This is only the preseason. In the offseason, is this the only result of his hard training? Although the preseason is not taken seriously, as an important rotation player of the Warriors, he should seize the opportunity and cut things during the game instead of losing himself!

There is no doubt that the tug-of-war between the Warriors and Kuminga during the offseason is a lose-lose situation for both parties! The Warriors lost the best opportunity to recruit, and Kuminga offended the team and hindered the team's recruitment! In addition, Warriors head coach Cole dislikes Kuminga very much. Kuminga may be in trouble in the new season! Since he is not strong enough but wants more performance opportunities, this is very contradictory! It is conceivable that the Warriors' investment in Kuminga during the offseason is likely to be in vain, and it is difficult to obtain a positive return.

In last season's Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors' core general Curry missed the game due to injury. This gave Kuminga an opportunity to perform, and he seized it and proved himself in the playoffs! Because he was frustrated with the Warriors, he always wanted to leave the team and develop in other teams, but the Warriors did not follow his wishes and did not give up on him! There was constant tension between the two during the offseason, and finally the two sides reached an agreement and Kuminga was able to stay with the Warriors!

But Kuminga is an individualist. He believes that he is very capable and is outside the Warriors' passing system! This makes it difficult for him to be reused by head coach Cole, and it is also difficult for him to get the playing time and performance opportunities he deserves! It can be said that the Warriors and Kuminga are not suitable for each other. However, the Warriors owner forced Kuminga to stay. He values ​​Kuminga very much, and the Warriors management has nothing to do!

Judging from the current situation, Kuminga's future with the Warriors is extremely unclear. The main reason is that Cole really doesn't like Kuminga, which will make it difficult for Kuminga to perform on the court and guarantee effective playing time! It is imperative for the Warriors to trade Kuminga, otherwise, their efforts will be in vain.
