On January 7, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Game of Western Focus, the Warriors lost to the Pelicans 96-101 on the road, suffering their first two-game losing streak of the season. Curry didn't play in this game due to injury, Thompson didn't play today, and he will come back in the next game.
However, although neither of them appeared on the field today, they had a heart-warming scene off the field. During the Warriors' pregame warm-up session with the Lone Rangers yesterday, Curry was practicing under the basket when he didn't know from which direction a basketball flew in. When Curry saw it, there happened to be an old grandmother passing by, and she was unaware of it. Seeing this scene, Curry quickly hit the basketball aside to avoid the grandmother being injured by the ball.
Before today's game between the Warriors and the Pelicans began, Thompson, who went out with the team, also came to the scene. After the pre-game training session, Thompson waved to the fans cheering him on when he saw a group of small fans wearing Warriors jerseys. In the face of these young fans' requests, Thompson was very patient to sign them one by one, during which he also threw his signature training ball to the stands and gave it to the fans.
It has to be said that Curry and Thompson have always been quality idols in the league. The two have never behaved out of the ordinary on the field, and they have always been polite off the court, which is a model for young people.
In their previous careers, the two led the Warriors to the NBA Finals five times and won the NBA championship three times. With Thompson coming back, the Splash Brothers will once again come together to impact the championship!
