Beijing time on January 7, the Warriors today to carry out back-to-back games, but this game Curry, Green and other people are absent from the game, including yesterday's game after Curry said their own injury problems, at that time for Curry's injury many fans are still a little worried, although this season's Warriors do not look like last season to rely on Curry, when Curry in the game downturn, the Warriors can still win the game, but for the Warriors, if they want to go further this season, Then Curry still needs to stay healthy.
But now Kerr still brings good news from Curry, the Warriors will play against the Pelicans at 9 o'clock this morning, and Curry can't play due to injury. Cole was interviewed before the game. Speaking about Curry's injury, Cole said Curry felt "very sore" in his knees this morning, but yesterday's break has provided Curry with a good mental buffer and he has adjusted his mindset well. Cole also said Curry's injuries were not in serious trouble and he was expected to return on Sunday. It can be said that Curry is still no big deal here, and this is good news for the Warriors, after all, Clay is about to return soon, at this time if Curry will miss many games, this is obviously a bad thing for the Warriors, and given Curry's recent poor state, now can get some rest, I hope Curry can also recover his state.
And this season Curry has a lot of opportunities to get MVP, after all, this season's Curry not only played excellent data, but more importantly, this season's Warriors ranked first in the West, so in this case Curry is expected to get MVP, but recently the Lakers won consecutive wins, and James played very good data in the game, so at this time James also began to be included in the MVP discussion. When asked if it makes sense for him to start his recent performances and get him into the MVP discussions, James said: I think if you're put in the MVP discussion, it means your team is winning, and your playing level is helping the team win. If my name continues or starts to appear in the MVP discussions, then I'm happy about it, mostly because the Lakers are winning. That's what I want to happen, and I care most about that.
Obviously, James is still very happy to be included in the discussion of the MVP, not only because James is expected to get more honors, I believe that for the current James, he still hopes that the Lakers will get more victories, after all, at this stage of James, he is already full of honors, so I believe that at this time, James is most concerned about the impact of the championship, but in view of the Lakers' poor record this season, so at this stage James will be more concerned about the team's record. And now the Lakers are also good news, the reason why the Lakers won before, johnson is a small lineup of the Lakers to help the team very well, and the Lakers officially announced today that the team has renewed a 10-day contract with Stanley Johnson.
At the same time, the reason why the Warriors have been able to succeed this season is also a very important reason for their defense to get better, and Payton's explosion this season is also a key thing, after all, he has given the team a lot of help on the defensive end, and when asked if he will let Peyton II's contract be fully guaranteed, Kerr said: I can make a decision now, and the remaining contract of Peyton II this season will be guaranteed. He's really good and can get into rotation in any big game. It can be said that Payton will stay in the Warriors, but it is not unusual for such a thing to happen, after all, Payton has performed too well this season, the Warriors really have no reason to let Payton go, and even if the Warriors give up Payton, Payton will have more opportunities to play, after all, Payton has proved himself this season.
