This morning, the NBA playoffs ended another three-game battle, in which the Warriors sat at home to beat the Nuggets 126-106, turning the total score into 2-0, and one foot has entered the Western Conference semifinals.
As in the previous game, Poole appeared in the starting lineup for this game, and Curry played as a substitute again. Still, Curry played with astonishing efficiency, shooting 12-of-17 from the field in 22 minutes, including 5-of-10 from three-point range, and slashed 32 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, plus-minus of +32.
As a result, Curry also set a record for the second highest scorer in Warriors history for a substitute player, and it is worth mentioning that the highest record holder is also Curry, who scored 40 points off the bench in the 2016 playoffs.
Curry hit five more three-pointers in his best three-pointers, bringing the number of games he hit at least five three-pointers in a single game in his playoff career to 48, far ahead of the great shooters behind him.
In second place is his teammate Klay Thompson (26 games), and third is legendary shooter Ray Allen (21 games), and the combined number of games between the two is 47, one less than Curry, which shows that Curry's three-point skills are the only in history.
Of course, Curry's performance in this game is not without slots, such as in the free throws is a bit abnormal, almost no waste of the free throw line, this game a total of 4 technical penalties, but he only scored 2 of them, which is obviously not desirable for him.
It is precisely because of this that in the post-match interview, Curry was also asked by reporters whether he would be replaced by Poole to perform technical penalties, and Curry humorously and domineeringly replied: "Never." I may concede 10 in a row, but the guy standing on the free throw line will still be me. "A perfect declaration of sovereignty.
While the words may sound a bit crazy, it is true, although Poole's recent performances are highlighted and represent the future of the team. But Curry is the root and soul of the Warriors, as long as Curry is in a day, this is his team, and his position on the court and off the court is destined to be unshakable.
With Curry's form quickly recovering, it is believed that he will soon replace Pooler and return to the starting lineup.
