Beijing time on February 11, the NBA regular season Warriors home against the Knicks, this battle Green is still absent, the Warriors from the beginning of the bitter battle, Curry this game of offensive state is outstanding, the first half hit a long three points, repeat the shaking shoulder celebration. But the Warriors were still trailing with 6.7 seconds left in the regular season, two points behind, when Kerr requested a timeout to lay out the tactics. In the final leg that followed, Thompson received the ball and singled Fournier, shot but deflected, missed a flat ball, and finally the Warriors lost the game 114-116, suffering two consecutive losses.
In fact, Curry performed well enough in this game, shooting 5 three-pointers in the whole game, cutting 35 points and 10 assists, playing a single game 30+ 10 performance again after 94 days, when the Warriors were behind in the second quarter of the game, it was Curry who scored 17 points in a single quarter to help the team rebound, and Curry made another effort in the last quarter, cutting 13 points. Unfortunately, the Warriors did not win in the end, which is a little regrettable.
And the last offensive round in regular time, Curry actually has a chance to kill and draw, when the Warriors ball, after Kerr arranged the tactics, Thompson was the first to receive the ball, Curry ran to get the opportunity to receive the ball in the open position, and at this time Thompson fake fax suddenly, using the fake action to achieve the opportunity to singles Fournier, but Thompson finally lost the shot, failed to bring the game into overtime. This round is a feasible choice whether it is Thompson passing Curry or achieving a singles Fournier, after all, Thompson has a size and strength advantage over Fournier, and in the end Thompson also got an open position opportunity, but did not hit. Thompson had 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the game.
Because the absolute flat ball did not hit, Thompson directly bit the jersey to appear chagrin, obviously very remorseful, Curry, who had the opportunity to receive the ball in the vacant position, did not complain, although the team lost the game, although he did not get the opportunity to attack the last attack, but Curry did not have the emotion, reflecting his support for his brother, just a regular season win or loss, it does not matter.
It should be noted that the loss to the Knicks once again reflects the importance of Drummond Green, another core of the Warriors, Green is not there, Curry needs to take on the Organization and offensive tasks of the Warriors, which means that Curry needs to consume a lot of ball possession, and once it is focused on defense, the Warriors' offensive system is limited. In the first and third quarters of this game, when Curry's offensive performance is not good, the Warriors will be at a disadvantage, it can be seen that Kerr urgently needs Green's healthy return, ease Curry's organizational pressure, consume a part of the ball, this Warriors can play their full strength.
Before suffering 2 consecutive losses, the Warriors are to achieve 9 consecutive wins, proving that the Warriors without Green are still a strong team, but they are still one step away from the championship, Curry and Thompson need Green's return, when this Warriors really usher in the full body, the outside world will see their horror!
