Curry's three-point record has become the Warriors' biggest "baggage" at present, the whole team is creating three-point opportunities for Curry, resulting in their loss of smooth offense, the Warriors away against the Pacers, a number of celebrities have bought tickets, want to witness Curry to the top of the three-point list, but the opposite happened, Curry is still sluggish, in the case of many attention, Curry also lost the original accuracy, fortunately, the overall strength of the whole team is higher than the Pacers, even if Sabonis gets 30 points, the Warriors rely on a wave of 7-0 offensive climax in the last quarter, Quasi-kill reversal match. The Warriors decided to end the Pacers' three-game winning streak.
In the first quarter, the two teams started from defense, the Pacers mainly limited Curry's three points, and the Warriors mainly limited the Pacers' internal scores, the two teams were deadlocked for 2 minutes without a point, Sa took the lead in opening up the situation for the Pacers, the outside line was trapped, the Warriors could only rely on the inside Green to break through the deadlock, as the game deepened, the two sides of the defense declined, the score alternately led, the Warriors trailed by 4 points into the second quarter. In the second quarter, the Pacers' offensive firepower did not decrease, under the leadership of Martin and LeVert again played an offensive climax, Curry found the feel of the outside, and finally hit a three-pointer, Curry broke out, Poole's three-pointer also hit, the Warriors played an offensive climax, the tactics stagnated again, the whole team watched Curry shoot, the Pacers strengthened the defense, using the defensive counterattack to counter the score again.
In the third quarter, the Warriors changed tactics, Curry gave up most of the ball, the team used the inside play, Looney got more tactical domination, and Green scored consecutively on the inside line, the Pacers faced the Changes in the Warriors, coped very untimely, and could only rely on The Feel of Little Sa to narrow the point gap, to the second half of the Pacers LeVert hit three consecutive three-pointers, Curry returned the three points, the Pacers relied on the overall or led by 4 points. In the final quarter, Curry was again limited, Looney got a good opportunity on the inside, constantly narrowing the point gap, Curry scored 5 consecutive points in key moments, plus Looney completed the quasi-kill on the inside line at key moments, and the Warriors reversed the Pacers on the road.
From the perspective of the whole game, although the offensive end is sluggish under the High-intensity defense of the Pacers, it is still the biggest contributor to the Warriors' victory, playing 36 minutes, 20 shots only hit 8 times, three-point shooting 15 hits 5 times, got 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, plus or minus reached the highest 17 in the game, from the data point of view, Curry's performance is still normal, but the shooting is severely restricted, but the whole court Curry has 7 mistakes, for a long time Curry has not had so many mistakes, The Pacers' outside three-man wheel war against Curry consumed Curry too much, and the players didn't want Curry to get a record on them, so both defensive strength and defensive intensity were higher than the playoff level.
The reason why the Warriors all played so hard in this game, they care too much about Curry's record, there are still 7 three-pointers, Curry surpassed Ray Allen to become the three-point king in NBA history, all the tactics of the first two quarters of the whole team revolved around Curry's three-pointers, but Curry's state of these games is really bad, the three-point long-range shooting is even more miserable, the last two quarters of the Warriors use the inside line to catch up with the point difference, but the whole team has always implemented as long as the lead let Curry shoot three points, resulting in the Warriors being on the backward side, fortunately, in the end Curry woke up, Instead of shooting three-pointers, he ended the game with a breakthrough layup.
Compared to the Warriors, the Pacers' Sabonis is indeed very strong, he just won the best of the Week in the East, the game directly scored 30 points, against The Curry, fully showed his strength, can suppress Durant, Alphabet Brother and other superstars in the East to win the best player of the week, watching this game is indeed deserved.
