This is Curry's special way of welcoming Thompson back, and in the last two games, Curry's shooting percentage has fallen into a trough, and he tells us with practical actions that the Warriors need Thompson. Hopefully, Curry will find the feel of shooting, that is, the day he and Thompson will play again, that is, the game with the Cavaliers next week.
Today the Warriors and the Lone Rangers met, these two teams have a place in the West, and may even become opponents in the playoffs, this game is naturally expected by fans, and finally the Lone Rangers have a thrilling victory. Porter, who had previously performed well, as well as Thompson and Wiseman, did not qualify for this game, and the Warriors sent starting players were Curry, Wiggins, Payton II, Green and Looney, which is their regular lineup this season.
The Lone Rangers' second-in-command, Porzingis, did not play, and their starting players were Doncic, Brunson, Smith, Kleber and Powell, and the lineup was not as good as the Warriors, but the Lone Rangers were in good shape and were in the winning streak.
The Lone Rangers beat the Warriors 99-82, and there were a total of 8 draws in this game, the Warriors led by 7 points at most, the Lone Rangers led by 17 points at most, and the point difference after the game was 17 points.
The progress of this game can be said to be a twist and turn, the first quarter of the two teams scored the same, the second quarter of the Lone Ranger team will expand the point difference to double digits, the third quarter of the Warriors attack smoothly, the third quarter of the half, the Warriors completed the counterattack, the crisis moment Smith scored consecutive points, which stabilized the situation, the game entered the last quarter, the point difference was only three points left, the fourth quarter Curry still did not find the feel of shooting, he only got two points in five shots, and teammates shot was not allowed, the Warriors scored less than fifteen points in a single quarter, Therefore, we can only accept the outcome of defeat.
Curry played 36 minutes and had 14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-of-24 shooting. Curry shot 8-of-41 in the last two games, the worst performance of his career in two consecutive games.
In this game with the Lone Rangers, the Warriors scored less than twenty points in the second and fourth quarters, as the top ten teams in offensive efficiency this season, this performance is certainly not normal, and no player scored more than twenty points in the whole game, and the player with the highest score on the team was Wiggins, who only scored seventeen points. Curry needs to take responsibility for the Warriors' loss, and as the team's home star, his recent performance can be described as bad.
After the game, Curry's average of points per game dropped to within twenty-seven points, and the score list also fell to sixth place, with deRozan, Antetokounmpo, Trae Young, James and Durant in front of him. Curry was interviewed after the game, and he said he wouldn't worry about his shots, and that poor shooting was just bad luck. Curry's offense feels very poor, in recent times, he not only went to the basket and the empty three-pointers, but even been blocked many times, I think he is into a period of fatigue and needs to take a good rest, the Warriors are back-to-back games, Kerr said Curry quadriceps contusion, so it is likely to miss tomorrow's game with the Pelicans.
The Warriors will have a game with the Cavaliers next Monday, and Thompson is likely to make a comeback in this game, so Curry can choose to recharge, take a break, and then return to the court with Thompson to let us see the splash brothers again.
