In an NBA regular season game that just ended not long ago, facing back-to-back Pacers, the Golden State Warriors instead experienced a regrettable overtime defeat at their home home. Although Stephen Curry had 39 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, he only hit 12 of his 27 shots, especially in overtime, and if Curry could hit even one goal, the result of the game would not be the same. In the last game, James scored two points in the last moment and was frantically spit by fans across the Net, but it should be known that when he faced the Pacers for the first time in the season, James scored 8 points in overtime, so comparing Curry's key ball ability and James is really not a level.
On the last defense in regular time, the Warriors also led by three points, the Pacers had offensive opportunities, Holliday created an empty opportunity with a run back, and the player who defended him happened to be Curry. It was this vacancy that allowed Holliday to hit a three-pointer that equalized the scoreline. Curry's defensive mistake in the final moments was really the biggest reason why the Warriors were dragged into overtime. Despite scoring high points, efficiency remains sluggish, and the only highlight of this game is curry's six three-pointers, which he has rarely seen recently.
The Warriors played very well in the opening stage of this season, so many people feel that the current Warriors still have the strength of the championship, but they were defeated twice by the Grizzlies, beaten by the Bucks, and the advantages of the Warriors against the strong teams were not so obvious, but often collapsed at key moments. It has to be said that Curry's performance at key moments has always been criticized, so many people feel that he is always invisible at key moments. In fact, Curry also wants to stand up at the key moment, but for the three-point shot, luck accounts for a large extent, Curry's offensive means at key moments are not much, and if the three points are scored, they will lose the game without entering.
Why are the Warriors with Durant so strong? The root cause is that Curry's shortcomings in key ball weakness were covered up by Durant, and the two Finals staged "Death" in the third game twice, and if Curry shot this three-point shot, it is likely to be limited. This is the problem of ability, which cannot be solved at all. The current Warriors do not have the same hammer as Durant, Thompson obviously does not have the strength before after the injury, and Curry is not online at key moments, so the Warriors often collapse at the last moment.
However, the core green of the Warriors has not yet returned, and if Green is present in this game, perhaps it is Green who restricts Holliday. Even so, in terms of Curry's current performance, it's too early for the Warriors to talk about the championship!
