The NBA regular season continued, and today the Warriors traveled to the road to challenge the Nuggets, who eventually won 113:102. Curry had 34 points, nine rebounds and three assists in this game. Thompson scored 18 points, but his shooting percentage was not high, with only 7 of 7 three-pointers and 2 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and today Jordan Poole became one of the heroes of the win. He hit two consecutive three-pointers in the final minute to help the Warriors win, and today he had 21 points, five rebounds and seven assists on 8-of-13 shooting.
The Warriors' game today is completely incomparable to the Nuggets on the inside. Teacher Yo can be said to give and take under the basket. The Warriors won today in large part because of Curry's determination. Today Curry did not hide his shots on the offensive end, but decisively stepped forward at key moments to help the team score. Even in many of the rounds, Curry did not choose to pass the ball, but chose to single himself. This is what fans want to see Curry change, because only in this way can the Warriors guarantee their scoring output at key moments, because Curry is always the most reliable point.
But today Thompson did not deliver a very good shooting performance, and today it is still very sluggish outside the three-point line, with only 2 of eight shots. And in the final moments Thompson won consecutive empty three-point opportunities without hitting, especially in the final moments, Curry took the initiative to fight with Thompson, who then got a very easy empty three-point opportunity, but Thompson did not seize it, while Poole hit all of them after getting two empty opportunities. So after today's game, although the Warriors won, Thompson did not seem happy, and he walked back to the locker room with his head bowed for the first time after the game, obviously not satisfied with his shooting performance.
In the final moments of today's game, Poole clearly became Curry's new Splash brothers. Maybe Thompson did meditate after seeing that scene, and for us fans, especially veteran Warriors fans who have been around for more than a decade, we should give Thompson more support than to blame him when he didn't play well.
Although Thompson's performance on the offensive end is sluggish, his performance on the defensive end in recent games is worthy of recognition, and he has had a very good block performance in many consecutive games. Thompson needs to keep shooting, he needs to go through the regular season to find form. The Warriors had to rely on Thompson's shots to go further in the playoffs. So the fans have to be more patient, what we need to do now is to firmly support Thompson, we don't completely deny him because of his momentary downturn, or even denigrate him, after all, without Thompson, I am afraid that the Warriors will not be able to win three championships.
