Cole recalls The Town God 14 three points: His hand felt like a sluice gate opening and I felt uncomfortable

On January 15, Beijing time, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, today the Warriors challenged the Bulls on the road, although Klay Thompson did not play, but Steve Kerr still recalled Thompson's record of 14 three-pointers in Chicago that year. Cole said Thompson felt like the sluice gates were open that night, but he felt uncomfortable because they had taken the game away, but he still left Thompson on the court to brush the record.

Thompson's record-breaking night

Considering Thompson has just returned from a ligament and Achilles tendon injury, Kerr didn't let him play in today's game, which is also a precautionary measure. Thompson came to the Chicago Union Center with his teammates for his first time since Oct. 30, 2018.

For Thompson, October 30, 2018 was an unforgettable day.

The Warriors also challenged the Bulls on the road that day, but In that game Thompson scored 52 points on 18-of-29 shooting (14-of-24 three-pointers) and 2-of-2 free throws, setting a league record for three-pointers in a single game with just 26 minutes and 33 seconds. But when Thompson stayed on the court to break Stephen Curry's record (13), Kerr felt uncomfortable.

"I remember he was in very bad shape at the beginning of that season and his shots were not good." Cole said, "That night, his hand felt like a sluice gate had opened, and his hand felt hot and hot. Then, I remember the last 2 minutes before he broke the record and I felt very uncomfortable. He was trying to break the record, we had already taken the game and I was ready to let him go off. As a coach, that's always a very uncomfortable feeling. ”

Thompson broke the record with 4:53 left in the third quarter, so Kerr didn't keep him in the game, but his record-breaking three-pointer allowed the Warriors to stretch the score to 113-69. Less than a minute after Thompson broke the record, he was off the field.

'I very much hope Thompson will hit the record-breaking goal so we can get him off the field.' Cole said, "But the content of the game was really unbelievable, looking at his hands felt so hot. ”

Thompson has played three games since his comeback, and although he feels good, the Warriors are cautious not to let him play in back-to-back games. Still, Thompson's comeback crossed a milestone, with he played 10 minutes and 13 seconds in the third quarter in yesterday's loss to the Bucks, rather than playing as short as usual.

"He's been playing for over 10 minutes and doesn't look tired, which is great." Kerr said, "I know his shots haven't returned to where he wanted them to be, but his form looks great. ”
