Against the Pistons, Klay Thompson contributed 21 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and after two and a half years, he once again became the golden state Warriors' highest scorer. The last time Thompson scored the highest score in the team, it was back on June 14, 2019, when the G6 of the Finals against the Raptors was the same as the years flew by.
Curry and Thompson are also known as the "Splash Brothers," and their backcourt combination has some of the most powerful projections in NBA history. In order to let his partner quickly integrate into the team and enter the rhythm of the game after two and a half years of separation, Curry can be described as sparing no effort. In addition to not putting pressure on his old partner, Curry also uses practical actions to help Clay find his form - such as the two practicing together before the game, at least from the outcome of the game, such an attempt is very effective.
In an interview with the Pistons after the game, Thompson expressed a different view, and when asked what he thought of the two appearing together in pre-game training for the first time in the world, the Buddha smiled in confusion and said with disgust: "He (Curry) is always in my place... This guy is disgusting. ”
Clay was then asked if he would normalize the two's pre-match training, and the Buddha said he had no such intentions for the time being and became a regular visitor to Curry's pre-match training. But if the fans like it, they consider doing it. Since 2014, Curry has conducted a variety of events and carefully scheduled pre-match training before each race. Whether home or away, he completes about 20 minutes of pre-game training within 90 minutes of the game, including jump shots, three-point shooting, juggling layups, two-handed dribbles and signature long-range three-point test shots. There will always be about 1,000 fans who come to the stadium early to watch his training.
It is worth mentioning that Curry is not only the giver of the pre-game training with Thompson, he is also the beneficiary. Because of the recent downturn, the two-time regular season MVP award winner is shaking his dominant position in the competition for this season's MVP trophy. His career-breaking nine consecutive shooting percentage is less than 50%, which is very abrupt. In a game with the Pistons, he finally fixed the shooting rate at 54.5%, and there was an efficient performance of 4 of 8 from outside the three-point line, ending his embarrassing record and putting himself back on track.
We have reason to believe that Curry and Thompson will practice together more and more together in the future games, after all, they are so eager to win and full of competitive spirits. As for Thompson's dislike of each other, mutual blackness is the daily life of the Splash Brothers, which is also the embodiment of their intimate relationship. Just like Thompson, after the comeback, Curry's son gave the ball to the Buddha, and As a result, Thompson ridiculed The Little Cannon passed better than Curry; and for Thompson's 18 crazy shots in the first 20 minutes of his comeback, Curry laughed and said, "This is very Thompson". So, there's no joke the two of them can't make.
It was this friendship that allowed the two to achieve their previous success, and now they are ambitiously targeting this season's O'Brien Cup. Can Curry and Thompson regain the state in which buddhas blocked the killing of Buddhas and gods blocked the killing of gods? Will the Golden State Warriors be the first team to make the West in the playoffs?
