The Memphis Grizzlies clenched the score, Curry made a layup to kill the game; "Gun Brother" scored 16 points, Nick's old club; the Spurs completed the Los Angeles streak, and the team scored 20+
Scoring 46 points on 22 shots, Curry completed his revenge at home
Facing last season's play-off opponent, the Memphis Grizzlies, Stephen Curry played one of the best game performances of the season. Throughout the game, Curry scored 46 points with just 22 shots, and hit 8 of 14 three-pointers, far exceeding the season average.
After breaking the all-time three-point record, Curry's form is on the right track. In the two games before playing the Grizzlies, Curry scored 30 consecutive points, and it was completed under extremely high offensive efficiency, and at the moment when Wiggins and Poole could not participate in the game because of health and safety agreements, Curry took on the heavy responsibility of scoring well.
The Grizzlies showed excellent mid-range shooting from the beginning of the game, the crowd frequently hit the middle distance, and they have actually done a good job on the defensive end, they have the most successful guard in the league to defend Curry, the players on the front and inside lines are fast and strong, the rebounds in the frontcourt are also very well protected, and they have a total of 14 frontcourt rebounds in the whole game, which is 6 seasons more than the Warriors who play at home.
Another admirable thing about the Grizzlies is that although they lost the game 104-113, they were clinging to the score from beginning to end, even if Curry frantically threw in the second half of the fairy three-pointer, they also completely matched the opponent's firepower, losing without losing.
Payton Jr. was the Warriors' X-factor in the game, and he missed many opportunities to make empty baskets today, but on the three-point line, Payton was very good, 4 of 7 from three-point range, perfectly responding to the opposing air defense, of course, all based on curry to attract his defensive attention.
It is often said that the players around Paul are easy to play, because Paul can play blocks, can feed the ball, the leadership temperament is particularly strong, will teach you how to play. Then I think the players around Curry are also very easy to play, because Curry does not have the ball, and can often attract defense for role players, the passing ability is still very strong, as long as you can grasp the opportunities he has created for you, you can play a huge value.
Booker and Paul worked together to play, and the Thunder had no power to resist
Chris Paul sat at home to meet his old club, the Oklahoma Thunder, because Christmas is coming, so the Suns did not show a very high defensive intensity at the beginning of the game, but relying on their own strength and excellent shooting feel, the Suns established a lead from the beginning.
Judging from the scoring points in each quarter, the Suns encountered a small scoring drought in the second quarter, and the Thunder seized the opportunity to achieve a counter-overtaking. But if you look at it from the overall game level, the Sun can be said to have been suppressing the opposite side, but in the second quarter, the Sun's offensive resources are relatively small, the shooting feel has fluctuated, and it is also relaxed, so it gives the opposite side the opportunity to surpass the score.
On the Thunder side, Alexander scored 29 points on 10-of-20 shooting in the game, the highest in the team. However, in terms of influence on the game, he is still not as strong as Booker and Paul on the other side. In the third quarter, Booker single-handedly scored 15 points to lead the team to a 37-21 offensive wave to achieve a rebound. Our "cannon brother" is still the same, the whole game did not make much effort, to the fourth quarter of the single quarter to cut 7 points, to help the team to determine the victory. In the whole game, the 36-year-old man only scored 16 points, so it was really easy for him to play.
The Lakers lost four consecutive defeats, and Old Zhan became the leader of the empty slash group
The Lakers lost again and again, people are really numb to see, even if James, Westbrook riveted 66 points, still failed to change the end of the Lakers, and finally helplessly defeated the opponent with a difference of 110-138 28 points, so that the opposite youth army completed the Los Angeles streak.
Although the Lakers just won the championship last year, and they still have three historical players in the team, but I think it is impossible to call the Lakers a strong team now, he may be a bit like the Cavaliers in the 17-18 season, the whole team has no defense, internal contradictions often break out, often lose games, need James to play 82 games to keep the playoffs, but that Cavaliers team is still stronger than the current Lakers, at least the team's three-pointer is not bad, At least they can rely on James to reach the Finals.
As I said above, when a player plays with Curry and Paul, he can easily play the price. After watching this game, I think if a player plays with a team like the Lakers every field, his value may also skyrocket. Lonnie Walker and Derrick White, who didn't play 30 minutes, could easily score 20 points, and Diop on the bench (if you haven't seen the Spurs, you don't know who he is) played 27 minutes, scoring 30 points and shooting 100 percent from the field.
Extremely low three-point shooting percentage, loose defense, old and slow pace and a large number of mistakes, these factors add up to make watching the Lakers game a difficult thing to torture fans the most. I don't know what the Lakers should do next, I just hope that the performance of this Lakers team behind the game can give me a little hope.
