The NBA regular season continued, with the Warriors sitting at home today facing the Kings, who eventually won 126-114. Seven Warriors scored in double figures in this game, with starting Curry and Thompson combining to score 43 points. Thompson completed the big explosion in the first half today. Thompson hit seven three-pointers today and had 23 points, five rebounds and seven assists. Thompson in the first half today gave us a glimpse of Thompson's 37 points in a single quarter. The Warriors pulled the score apart with Thompson's single-quarter burst and won very easily today.
Although the Warriors have a lot of new faces today, for Curry he personally knows Thompson very well, and today Thompson felt very good in the first quarter. Three-pointers hit all two shots. And after the second quarter, Thompson's first three-point shot was also hit, and since then Curry has realized that today is Thompson's night, so you will find that Curry voluntarily gave up the offense in the next round. Instead, he tried to look for Thompson's chances after half-time, and he had many passes that were very deliberate in search of Thompson, including passing past the two. And Thompson also understood and did not waste Curry's assist.
After today's game, Curry also talked about Thompson's state, Curry bluntly said that Thompson can enter a hot state at any time, and he can observe it from Thompson's eyes. Indeed, this game is a typical Warriors game. When Thompson completes his personal explosion, the Warriors can completely expand the score with a one-man explosion. Let the opponent lose the confidence to chase points on the field. This is the warriors' style of play that has always been frightening and frightening at its peak.
Through this game we can clearly feel that Thompson's form is clearly recovering. Thompson has played 11 games this season so far, and although Thompson has been in poor form in the previous few games, his three-point shooting rate has now reached 37.8% as the game progresses. It will be further improved in the future.
As fans have said, even if Thompson's three-point shooting rate at the beginning of the season is not satisfactory, once he accumulates enough games, his three-point shooting rate will still reach more than 40%. This is the most reassuring place for Thompson. Thompson's surprise this season is not just maintenance on offense. Also including tandem balls, Thompson contributed seven assists today, while this season he averaged 3.1 assists in 23.5 minutes of playing time. There has also been a significant increase compared to before. This is what makes us feel more happy.
