On February 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Conference Focus game, the Warriors' home team ushered in the Kings' challenge. Prior to this game, the Warriors had won seven straight, a 2.5-game gap from the first-place Suns.
In today's game, there is a player who is very hot, and he is Thompson. Not long after the game began, Thompson hit a shot from under the basket, and then Thompson hit two consecutive three-pointers at the left 45 degrees and in the bottom left corner.
One of the goals was extremely exciting, when Curry attracted the Kings two to defend in the right bottom corner, he had a straight plug in his right hand, and through the three people accurately found Thompson in the bottom corner, Thompson received the ball and pulled up three points, hollow into the net!
It is worth mentioning that the ball was almost passed to Thompson on the back of Damian Jones's head, and after seeing Thompson receive the ball, Curry directly turned back to defend, which is enough to show Curry's trust in Thompson!
In the second quarter, Thompson felt better, he hit three three-pointers in a minute and a half, and from different areas, which were in the left bottom corner, left 45 degrees and right 45 degrees, he single-handedly set off a wave of 9-0 offensive climax! And that wasn't the end of it, after the Kings requested a timeout, Thompson hit another three-pointer, and the Warriors quickly led by more than 20 points.
It is worth mentioning that after hitting the sixth three-pointer of the day, Thompson's career regular-season three-point shooting reached 1828, surpassing Bryant (1827) to 20th in history, the front one is Billups (1830).
At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Kings 73:54, and they had great hopes of winning eight straight. Thompson scored 20 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 7-of-9 shooting, including 6-of-8 from three-point range! Curry had eight points and six assists, 2-of-2 three-pointers and Looney had eight points and five rebounds. On the Kings side, Mitchell had 21 points and five assists, and Jones scored 13 points.
