Warriors tough guy says he misses Green Curry: Every three-pointer is a strange record

On December 29, Beijing time, the Warriors lost to the Nuggets 86-89 at home, Curry completed the 3,000 three-point milestone in this game, he said bluntly after the game, every three-point shot is a record feeling is very strange. Payton Jr. said that on the night of the loss, the team missed Green very much.

Before this game, Curry shot 2999 three-pointers, just one step away from the 3000 mark, however, this record wait seems extremely long, in this game against the Nuggets, Curry's first three quarters feel cold, his first seven three-point shots are all deflected, until the end of the third quarter with 5.3 seconds left, Curry completed the eighth three-point attempt, this time, he finally threw the ball into the basket, staged a historic moment.

Speaking about his milestones after the game, Curry, who had 23 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, said: "Now I set a new record for every three-point shooting, which is really strange. ”

Like the previous surpassing Ray Allen to become the three-point king of history, Whenever he is about to cross the milestone, Curry will inevitably have some psychological baggage, and when it comes to whether he knows before the game that he is only one three-pointer away from breaking the 3,000 mark, Curry also admitted: "Yes, I know. ”

Draymond Green's absence from the game due to the triggering of the health and safety agreement also disrupted the team's chemistry, and the warriors who changed the lineup appeared uncomfortable and struggled at the beginning, they were beaten to a 10-0 start, trailing 16-31 at the end of the first quarter, trailing by up to 24 points in the game. Despite the Warriors' desperate pursuit of points in the second half, they still failed to complete a major reversal.

In a post-match interview, Payton Jr. also admitted: "We miss Green very much tonight. ”

Tuscano Anderson, who started in the game to replace Green, had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-6 shooting, said in an interview after the game: "We started very badly, we were in no shape in the first half, we dug a big hole for ourselves, although everyone had been catching up in the second half, but we were too far behind before, and we still couldn't climb out of the pit. ”

Anderson also admitted that he failed to make up for Green's absence. 'When he's absent, the other players need to come up and I should take responsibility, as the person who took his place, I didn't show my energy, it's my responsibility and hopefully I can play better in the next game.'

The Warriors were completely dumb at the free throw line this game, with only 16 of 31 free throws on the team, and their 86 points also set a season-low. In response, Payton Jr. also said: "We still need to practice more free throws and shoot when you are tired. ”

Although they lost the game, the Warriors relied on defense in the second half to only let their opponents score 29 points, almost directing a big reversal. After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr still affirmed the efforts of the players. "They were the ones who took the initiative from the start." Kerr said, "I liked the way we countered in the second half, it gave us a chance to win and I'm proud of the hard work of the players, but obviously we still need to play better. ”
