On January 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In a focus battle that just ended, the Warriors defeated the Heat 115:108 at home to achieve two consecutive wins, and the record became 29-7, continuing to rank first in the league.
The Warriors' ability to win today is inseparable from the excellent performance of many players, including Wiggins with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Poole with 32 points and 5 assists, and Green, who is returning from this game, also has 5 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists.
However, Curry's performance today was very bad. In the whole game, Curry played 31 minutes and shot only 3 of 17 shots, including 1 of 10 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, totaling only 9 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.
In the first quarter, Curry only played 4 minutes to eat two fouls, which forced him to leave the game, which also greatly affected Curry's continuity today. In the second quarter, Curry returned to the court, scoring 7 points and 3 assists on 3-of-8 shooting. Among them, after hitting the first three-pointer of the day, Curry increased the number of consecutive three-point shots to 159 games, continuing to refresh his own record.
In the second half, Curry scored a point on a rare 0-of-5 shooting in the third quarter, with four outside shots all deflected. It wasn't until after the start of the final quarter that Curry made two foul throws to break the scoring drought. Interestingly, when Curry broke through the inside line with cover, he was pulled by Guy behind him to foul him, and he actually deflected a layup in the face of an empty basket, missing 2+1. After seeing himself deflected out of the basket, Curry himself tilted his head and smiled helplessly.
I have to say that for Curry, today is really drinking cold water and stuffing your teeth. According to the schedule, the Warriors will challenge the Lone Rangers on january 6, and they will strive to win three consecutive games.
