On December 29, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Game of Western Focus, the Warriors' home team welcomed the Nuggets' challenge. Surprisingly, the Warriors trailed by 15 points in the first quarter and remained behind, catching up in the second half but failing to reverse, and finally lost to the Nuggets 86:89, making the record 27-7.
In today's game, Curry did not play well in the first half. In the first quarter of the game, Curry lost all 2 shots and made 4 mistakes, and did not score a single point in a single quarter. In the second quarter, Curry also had 2 points and 1 rebound on 1 of 4 shooting, including all three-pointers. Throughout the first half, Curry scored 2 points on 1-of-6 and 0-of-5 from three-point range!
In the third quarter of the game, Curry still did not feel good, he caused a three-point foul and hit all of them. It wasn't until the end of the quarter that Curry finally hit his first three-pointer of the game. As a result, he reached the career milestone of 3,000 three-pointers and equaled his record of 157 consecutive three-pointers.
In the final quarter of the showdown, Curry finally found his hand, and he hit two consecutive three-pointers to help the team chase points. Three and a half minutes before the finale, Curry hit Jokic again at the top of the arc to close the gap to three points. And that's not all, after Jokic hit a shot, Curry singled out Rivers to hit another 3-pointer! Curry then scored a long pass to Payton dunk, and the two sides fought 84:84!
But then the Nuggets scored four straight points, and Curry deflected three points. After Wiggins scored a dunk, the Warriors' key attack was blocked by Jokic, and with Campazzo hitting one of two free throws, there were 2.2 seconds left before the end of the game. Iguodala deflected three points and the Warriors reversed defeat. Curry played 39 minutes today, shooting 6-of-16, including 5-of-14 from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the free throw line, for a combined 23 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
It is worth mentioning that before the start of today's game, Curry showed off his own reserved show. He received a pass from the second-floor stand, directly pushed the stand at a negative angle to shoot three points, and the basketball hollowed into the net, which also attracted cheers from the audience.
However, fans familiar with the Warriors must be aware that whenever Curry hits a long-range three-pointer before the game, he tends to feel bad in the game, and today's game once again confirmed this.
