The NBA regular season continues, with the Warriors sitting at home today facing the Nets. In the end, they won 110-106 against the Nets, and Curry and Thompson scored a combined 35 points in this game, which is not particularly good in terms of the whole game, but in the crucial fourth quarter, the two men repeatedly played on the offensive end. He became a key contributor to the Warriors' ability to win, and today the Warriors played most consistently with Wiggins, who scored 24 points and 8 rebounds. 4-of-8 from outside the three-point line.
There is no doubt that today's game was a game in which the Splash Brothers missed the target while the other players played well. Curry and Thompson combined today to shoot 10-of-32, falling short on the batting range. But the rest of the Warriors played well, with Wiggins scoring 24 points, Porter scoring 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, and Substitute Jordan Poole also contributing 17 points. Although Curry and Thompson did not feel good in the first three quarters, they were still not soft in the fourth quarter, and today the Warriors relied on the scoring of the two of them at key moments to win the game.
Today Thompson hit a winning three-pointer with 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Although Thompson had previously shot 1-of-7 from outside the three-point line, the shooting percentage was very bad. But as a pitcher of his level, he doesn't lose his confidence in shooting, especially at key moments when he has a very strong psychological quality. Thompson's last crucial three-pointer today was largely because he actively sought a tactic on the court, and that tactic was played against Thompson.
When Curry dribbled the ball over the midline, Thompson raised his hand to Curry and asked Curry to cooperate with him to block and dismantle. When Thompson and Curry block, each other has to make a choice, and the Nets today chose to pinch Curry. Thompson then bounced outside the three-point line to get a chance to open a slot. Thompson scored that crucial three-pointer with his super mental qualities. Let us vaguely see the figure of the previous "adversity soup". At that time, it was obvious that Thompson was also actively seeking opportunities. Thompson's idea was to make sure he hit the ball to me and let me finish.
You'll find that even though Curry and Thompson were very bad for most of the time in this game, they never lost the confidence to shoot, and they still shot decisively on the court, while the opponent still guarded them. So even if they feel sluggish throughout the game, they are still the object of the opponent's close defense at the real critical moment. Because you can't tell at what point in time they're going to give you a fatal blow. This is the scariest part of the Splash Brothers.
