On January 26, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In today's Battle of the Western Focus, the Warriors' home team ushered in the Challenge of the Lone Rangers. The Warriors established a nine-point lead in the first quarter, then widened the point difference to double digits, reaching a maximum of 30 points or more, and finally beat the Lone Rangers 130-92 to win three consecutive games.
Although the Warriors won today, the performance of the star Curry is still difficult to satisfy. Curry played 29 minutes in the game and had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 7 rebounds on 7-of-16 shooting. Outside the three-point line, Curry only shot 2-of-10, and both the percentage and number of shots shots are far below his average per game.
In the first quarter, Curry shot well, scoring 9 points on 4-of-6 shooting in a single quarter, including 1 of 3 from three-point range, continuing his record of consecutive three-point shots on the court. But his shooting hits come more from mid-range shots. In the second quarter, Curry also hit just one mid-range shot. From the 3rd quarter onwards, Curry's feel fell into a slump, scoring only 5 points on 2 of 7 in the single quarter and 2 points on only free throws in the final quarter.
It has to be said that since entering 2022, Curry's three-point shot has lost its crosshairs, counting today's game, Curry shot a total of 127 three-pointers in January, shooting only 29.1%! Obviously, this is no longer a simple poor feel can be explained.
According to Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, Curry has been poking his finger in a row against the Bulls and Pistons, which is why he has played poorly recently. But because of the absence of Green in the team, Thompson is still looking for form, so Curry still comes out with an injury out of responsibility.
According to the schedule, the Warriors will host the Timberwolves on January 28.
