Beijing time on January 4, the NBA regular season continued, firmly occupying the first place in the West Warriors in the home to usher in the Challenge of the Heat, after Green's return, the Warriors' passing and cutting cooperation is obviously more fluent, with the offensive axis, all kinds of empty cuts can also be easily grasped, Wiggins, Poole ushered in a big outbreak in the first quarter, the former scored 10 points in a single quarter, the latter scored 14 points in a single quarter and completed the difficult two plus one, and the Warriors were also able to open the score. Although the Heat did not let the score expand again in the later games, with the injury of the star Butler, they could not cross the barrier of about 5 points difference, and finally lost the game 108-115.
Green, who was new to the health and safety protocol, played well, scoring 5 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 blocks. Payton Jr. scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, Poole efficiently contributed 32 points, but only the team's star Stephen Curry's performance was not satisfactory, shooting 17 times but only hit 3 goals, the proud three-point shot was only 10 shots, the home basket was like a lid for him, how to shoot how not to score, the whole game only 9 points into the account If Curry's performance can be slightly normal, I am afraid that the Warriors have already pulled the score apart, why delay until the last moment to divide the victory or defeat.
After this game, Curry also set a career worst record: in the last 15 games, he averaged just 37.9 percent of the shots, the worst record in 15 consecutive games in Curry's career, and the previous record low of 40.2 percent. 15 games is already a very large sample, do not underestimate this data, Warriors fans should not use "data can not explain the problem" and "Curry attracted the bag to create opportunities for teammates is not reflected by the data" and other statements. While Curry can still provide excellent cover for his teammates and use his abilities to create good chances for them, his personal offensive form has been really bad lately, 6 of 16, 6 of 20, 4 of 21, and 3 of 17 today, and this kind of poor shooting performance is not unique, it has been seen everywhere in this season's games.
So Curry must get his form back as soon as possible, he needs more offensive methods, not just obsessed with shooting difficult and far-reaching three-pointers, only by combining breakthroughs and shooting, it will be more difficult to defend. Otherwise, in future games, the opponent will be more targeted according to this weakness, then Curry himself and the Warriors will be very uncomfortable, and the road to the championship will be very bumpy.
