On January 14, Beijing time, today was an unhappy day for Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. Not only was the first position in the All-Star vote not guaranteed, but the game was also blown up by the defending champion Bucks.
The NBA today announced the results of the All-Star second round of voting, although Meng Shen is still ranked first in the West, but in just one week by James chased nearly 500,000 votes, now the lead has less than 80,000 votes, it seems that the first position is very dangerous. This reminds many fans of last year, when James also fell behind Curry in the first round of voting, and finally surpassed Meng Shen and was elected as the vote king. With the current momentum, james is indeed very likely to be the captain of the West again.
The Warriors challenged the Bucks on the road, originally thought it would be a peak showdown between the two giants, but they did not expect the Bucks to establish a huge advantage of 16 points in the first quarter, and the half-time was even a 39-point lead, which is not only the Warriors' biggest backward point difference this season, but also the biggest half-court backward point difference since the team moved to the Bay Area in 1962!
Although the Warriors recovered 14 points in the third quarter, Kerr still did not let Curry appear in the final quarter, and meng Shen only scored 12 points in 4 of 11 in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the camera is pointed at Curry sitting on the bench many times, and Curry is also frustrated. It is worth mentioning that Curry has not scored more than 30 points in 7 consecutive games, and the three-point shooting rate in 5 consecutive games is less than 40%, and Meng Shen has indeed played very depressed in recent times, hoping that Curry can adjust in time.
