On December 14, Beijing time, the Warriors challenged the Pacers away, which was the first time the two teams met this season. The Warriors lost to the Digitals in the last game, swallowing their fifth defeat of the season. Curry has said he will play against the Pacers, and he has now shot 2967 three-pointers, just 7 to surpass Ray Allen (2973) and become the NBA's all-time three-pointer!
But curry has recently become a cold ice shooter, shooting only 29% of the last 38 shots in the past 6 games, and only 35% of the three-point shooting 86 shooting! Apparently, everyone was too focused on Curry's record-breaking, which caused him to be affected.
Pre-match schoolchildren said: "I think this kind of thinking (record breaking) does cause some extra anxiety, but I wouldn't call it nervousness, I still shoot when it's time to shoot, that's the way I play. ”
At present, the Warriors' first position in the West has been taken away by the Suns, and the latest edition of the NBA's combat strength list, the Warriors have also fallen from the first position to the second. The Pacers, who are 12-16 and rank 13th in the East, have recently played a three-game winning streak, while the team has considered rebuilding! Can it be maintained today?
Today Iguodala continued to take a break, ending the first half and the Warriors trailing their opponents by eight points 47-55! Curry scored a team-high 13 points, plus 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. Although the score was in double figures, the feel was still not good, with 4 of 10 shooting and 7 of 7 three-pointers. There were also 4 mistakes in the second quarter! Aside from the three-pointer, the most impressive goal, the schoolboy teased Sa to come up with a reverse pull-bar layup!
The Pacers were able to lead, mainly because of the performances of Sabonis and Brogdon, both of whom scored in double-doubles at half-time. Brogdon had 3-of-5 and 1-of-2 three-pointers for 12 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Sabonis, a game high, blasted 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals on 6-of-11 shooting.
It is worth mentioning that today the NBA officially announced the 8th week of the best player of the week, the West is James, the East is Sabonis! Sa averaged 25.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists last week, shooting 75.0 percent from the field to lead the Pacers to all three games. Looks like you're going to be an All-Star again this year?
Look at this dominance, Le Ver steals to advance the counterattack, Brogoden sends a wonderful pass, Sa ignores the double save, and turns over under the basket with one arm and angry dunks to turn the whole field! Previously, according to Shams, Sabonis is expected to attract strong interest from other teams, and both the Suns and Kings have been interested in him in recent years. Easy side to fight again, Curry shot the third three-pointer of the game! Green and The Mouth Brothers all sent their strength, and the Warriors once again tied the score. The fourth stroke came, the warriors attacked at the end, Curry advanced with the ball in the backcourt, just past the midline to meet Brisseter's defense over the long three-point shot! There are still 2 draws to tie the first place.
The Warriors have tied the score several times, but they can't help it! At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still trailed the Pacers 80-84. Sabonis and Brogdon stepped up in the first half, and in the second half it was LeVert's turn to power. The latter shot 3-of-6 in the third quarter and scored 11 points on 3-of-3 shooting! It feels hotter than Curry.
It's too hard, and every time the Ball Right Warriors make mistakes, the Pacers grab a wave of counter-attacks to keep the point difference open. With the last 3 minutes left in the final quarter, the Warriors trailed by 5 points, Curry finally stood up, hit another three-point shot on the outside, and then made a tough layup, taking 5 points in a row to help the team equalize again!
There are more than 40 seconds left in the game, and the two sides are 100 draws! The Pacers failed to hit the offense, Curry popped up on three points, Rooney actively scrambled to collect rebounds and scored the key two points, and the Warriors overtook! Unfortunately, under Payton's defense, LeVert made a fatal mistake, dribbling the ball and falling out of bounds, leaving only 2.2 seconds left. In the end, the Warriors 102-100 Pacers, there was no danger to close the victory. Rooney's goal was too crucial.
Curry shot 8-of-20 from the field and scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 5-of-15 shooting, just one three-pointer away from becoming a three-point king! At the last minute, the elementary school students also pulled themselves out of the conference room. Green 15 points, 9 boards and 5 assists, Wiggins 15 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 3 caps, Looney 14 points, 8 boards and 3 assists! Poole scored only 8 points, 4 boards and 4 assists on 3-of-9 shooting, and Porter scored 10 points and 6 boards!
On the Pacers' side, Sabonis 30 points 11 boards 2 breaks! Brogdon 23 points, 6 boards, 8 assists, 2 blocks, Le Ver 19 points, 5 assists, Brisette 8 points, 4 boards and 5 blocks, Turner 6 points, 10 boards and 4 caps. If the team really wants to rebuild, the Big Three will definitely be robbed.
That way, the Warriors will challenge the Knicks on the road tomorrow. Curry also has a good chance of breaking the record in New York, and Ray Allen can finally book a ticket.
