The fourth game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and the Grizzlies came to an end, and after 47 minutes behind, the Warriors struggled to complete the reversal at home, and finally won the opponent 101-98, Curry did not feel good in the hand, 10 of 25 shots, but still led the team to win the game, and the Warriors became the only team in the East and West to get the match point in the semifinals. In this campaign, Curry showed his ability as a Most Valuable Player, whether offensively or defensively, Curry is a strong contender for the Most Valuable Player in the Finals.
First, the ability to adjust at the historical level. Curry felt cold in the first three quarters, and just came up to lose all three points and 4 shots. But in the fourth quarter, Curry suddenly broke out, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, which is Curry's adjustment. On the one hand, it is the adjustment of the feel, the shot is short, the force is increased, the crosshair is moved when the shot is deviated, and the two three-point killing hearts in the fourth quarter are killed. On the other hand, it is the adjustment of the style of play, breaking into the inside line without shooting, winning free throws when the end is not good, and Curry won 9 free throws in the last quarter. Two adjustments helped Curry lead the team to a reversal with 18 points in a single quarter to gain match points.
Second, indiscriminate singles at critical moments. The last three minutes of the game are the stage for Curry, a top 20 superstar in history. In the left mid-range, facing the defense that Dillon pounced on his face, Curry lay down on the ground at 30 degrees back, and hit a steady shot from mid-range to equalize the score. Then, in the course of a counter-attack, Curry accelerated to shake off the defender, and then faced Dillon with a foul on the layup, and two free throws all overtook the score. These two offensive rounds show Curry's singles ability at key moments to the fullest.
Third, the acumen of the defensive end. What really killed the game was Curry's foul on Bain's rebounding. Jaren Jackson Jr. missed the throw, Bane had rushed in to scramble for a rebound, and it was Curry who keenly spotted this and preemptively came to Bane's route and jumped up to scramble for the rebound, causing Bane's push foul. But the slow-motion replay showed that Bain didn't actually have much additional movement on his hand, and the foul was actually a bit like it could be judged or not, in other words, Curry's foul was a bit like tricking the referee through a fake fall.
Whether this is a real foul or a fake fall foul, it is already a Rashomon, but Curry caused Bane's foul in the final moments of the game, both the sensitivity of the defensive end, through which he completed a great defense; and it was also an experienced performance, which was the result of the wisdom accumulated in five years of finals.
In the next game, the Warriors' feel will certainly not be as cold as this game, and the performance of Klay Thompson and Poole on the offensive end will definitely pick up. The Grizzlies will also make changes, Bane and Dillon will improve their game status, and Morant may come back. The next game is the Warriors' match point, and as long as they can win the game at Memphis, the Warriors will become the first team to reach the division finals this season. Let's wait and see.
