On April 19, Beijing time, as the star with an annual salary of 45.78 million US dollars, Curry played as a substitute for two consecutive playoff games, and was ridiculed by the outside world as "the most expensive substitute in history". After the game, Curry responded to his own bench questions, saying that he understood the arrangement of playing substitutes, knew what the team's ultimate goal was, and how to play a sufficiently influential performance within the allotted time.
Due to Curry's injury at the end of the regular season, he lost to the Celtics on March 17 and was crushed by Smart, the best defender of the new branch, resulting in Curry being reimbursed for the early regular season and missing 12 regular season games. It wasn't until the playoffs that Curry made an official comeback, and Kerr didn't let Curry start for protection reasons.
In the first comeback playoff game, Curry only played 21.7 minutes off the bench, giving 5 of 13 crosshairs to get 16+3+4 stats. In this game, Curry continued to be arranged to play as a substitute, he played 23 minutes, efficient 12 of 17 to blast down 34 + 3 + 4 data, of which the outside three points 10 of 5 is extremely powerful.
When Curry played as a substitute in a row, his performance continued to improve and the efficiency was extremely high, and the starting Poole scored 30 and 29 points respectively, which was also eye-catching. The Warriors' new Death Five, in the same ten minutes of the two playoff games, has a plus-minus of +29 on the field and a net win of 75 points per 100 rounds.
After the game, Curry was interviewed by Warriors star Kim Left Hand Mullin and asked if he would continue to be a substitute in the next game, especially when he teased that curry would vote for the best sixth person.
In response, Curry responded with a smile, "I didn't make it to the final three-person list for this award (the best sixth person award), haha." It's really weird, I'm used to what I've been doing all year, but I understand the difficulty of dealing with this injury, coming back to play safely, understanding the bigger ultimate goal of our team. I think the secret is, don't worry about what's going to happen in the next game. ”
Curry further said, "I know how many minutes I will be allowed to play every game, and how I can play enough influence within the allotted time. As the coach says, we're going to keep finding the final answer to the question as the game progresses, and that's what good teams and good players should do. ”
Curry's high emotional intelligence responded to the problem of his own substitute, but also triggered the spit of netizens, thinking that Curry is not only high emotional intelligence and ball quotient, but also a good example for Wei Shao, after all, Wei Shao's refusal to play as a substitute has become a major problem for the Lakers.
