In fact, Cole was interviewed before the game, he said that the team has no way back, G3 must be won, in addition, Cole also bluntly said that Chasing Green was suspended, which will not affect the morale of the team, from Kerr's remarks can be seen that the Warriors are ready to give it a go today, sure enough, looking at the whole game, the Warriors give us the feeling that it is obvious that morale suppresses the King, and the offensive and defensive ends are like two teams compared to the previous two games. For example, Curry, he hit a long three-point shot in the opening period, and in the second quarter, Curry was still scoring in response to the King, Green was not there, and the Warriors' offensive end was completely driven by Curry, although the cute god played very tired, but the effect was indeed good.
Curry was still decisive in the second half, and hit a logo three-point shot in the third quarter, compared to G1 and G2, the Kings also relaxed their defense of Curry today, which cost them. In addition to Curry, the Warriors have two major heroes, the first is Wiggins, the mouth brother exceeded the standard today, shot three-pointers, created 2+1, strong attack under the basket, everything, and defensively, because Green is absent, so Wiggins' defensive pressure has also skyrocketed. Then there was Looney, incarnated as Rodman, who had 20 rebounds, nine of which were frontcourt boards. This game is simply summed up, that is, Curry's projection + Wiggins' singles + Looney's strategy completely penetrated the Kings.
After being cornered, the Warriors gave their all, let's see what Curry said after the game, Moe Shen first talked about the suspended Green, Curry said: "We were all full of energy in training yesterday, we knew what the team's goals were, obviously we can't change the decision made by the league, we know it's wrong, but what we can do is go back to the home court to win the game, change the momentum of the series, and give ourselves a chance," This statement is easy to understand, Curry believes that the league should not ban Green, I almost named Xiao Hua directly. Secondly, Curry bluntly said that after Green was suspended, it inspired the fighting spirit of the whole team, and according to Curry's view, Green's absence from the Warriors was a blessing in disguise.
Later, when talking about the victory, Curry said: "The away game is a tentative process, we came back to the home court and responded, that's what we can do, it's a game full of energy from start to finish," Curry's statement undoubtedly worried the Kings, Moe God believes that the G1 and G2 warriors are only tempting, and then they will play their real strength, and it can be seen that Curry is confident of winning the series. G4 is still played at the home of the Warriors, and today's defeat of the Kings will undoubtedly boost the morale of the Warriors, and the probability of winning the G4 is still high, when the two teams will draw 2-2 and return to the starting line.
However, the Warriors also face a problem, with Curry as the core of the offense, the Warriors are very fluent today, the role of Curry and Wiggins can be reflected, the team is more united, the mistakes are decreasing, and coming to G4, the Warriors should use Green? This may be worth Cole's serious consideration. Of course, the Warriors also have shortcomings in this game, such as Thompson felt very bad in the first three quarters, 5 of 15, and Poole, he made 1 of 7 three-pointers, it is certain that the Kings G4 will rebound strongly, and the strength shown by the Warriors today is dangerous, based on the excellent play of Curry and Wiggins, Thompson and Poole must also stand up.
