CA旧金山，历史上，克莱·汤普森将防守对方球队中最好的进攻球员。据金州勇士队教练史蒂夫·科尔说，现在那些日子已经过去了。尽管汤普森的伤势从未发生过，但对抗对方最危险球员的工作现在属于安德鲁·维金斯。
“我仍然希望安德鲁抓住最危险的人，”科尔告诉《关键时刻》。“这对安德鲁来说是一个很好的角色，但大多数球队都有不止一个危险的家伙。所以在我们比赛的过程中，克莱会开始遇到一些更困难的对手，我认为他完全有能力应对。”
每个人都知道汤普森已经是一个多么伟大的射手，但一般球迷可能不知道他是一个多么优秀的后卫。这位三届冠军只为NBA全防守球队效力过一次，但在成为勇士队多年来最好的控球后卫和NBA最好的球员之一后，他可能应该得到更多的选择。

打造NBA全防守球队是非常困难的，在大多数情况下，需要团队的成功和人气才能引起注意。有很多关于防守的事情没有出现在统计表上，所以你很容易被忽视。勇士队前锋德雷蒙德·格林可以说是世界上最好的防守球员，每年他都要提升自己成为顶级球员之一，尽管当你观察他时，这是显而易见的。
现在维金斯是勇士队新的防守领头羊，这可能会让他成为联盟最好的后卫之一，就像汤普森在巅峰时期一样。

Warriors star Klay Thompson no longer guarding ‘dangerous’ player from opposing team
原文：
San Francisco, CA – Historically, Klay Thompson would defend the best offensive player on the opposing team. Now those days are over according to Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr. The job of taking on the most dangerous player on the opposing team now belongs to Andrew Wiggins, even if Thompson’s injuries never happened.
“I still want Andrew to take the most dangerous guy,” Kerr told Clutch Points. “That’s a great role for Andrew, but most teams have more than one dangerous guy. So Klay will start getting some more difficult matchups as we go, and I think he’s perfectly capable of handling them.”
Everyone knows how great of a shooter Thompson is already, but the average fan might not have understood how good of a defender he was. The three-time champion only made the NBA All-Defensive Team once, but after being the Warriors’ best on-ball defender for years and one of the best in the NBA, he probably deserved more selections.

Making the NBA All-Defensive Team is extremely difficult, and in most cases, it takes team success and popularity to get noticed. There are a ton of things about defense that don’t show up on the stat sheet, so you can easily be overlooked. Warriors forward Draymond Green is arguably the best defender in the world, and each year he has to promote himself to be recognized as one of the top guys, even though when you watch him, it’s quite obvious.
Now that Wiggins is the Warriors’ new defensive lead, it could potentially get him known as one of the league’s best defenders, just like Thompson was in his prime.
