The Western Conference is fiercely competing for the championship, and many strong teams are fiercely competitive. Defending champions Nuggets, Suns, Warriors, Lakers and Clippers are all in contention for the title. In addition, the Mavericks tied with the Nuggets for the top two in the West with a three-game winning streak. And today we're going to focus on the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have a 3-1 record and are temporarily in third place in the West. Despite losing to the Suns in the opener, the Warriors have played well in each of their last three games, scoring big wins. Curry and Paul on the team have been on the rise, embarrassing those who doubt Paul's strength.
The Warriors are in good shape, and the Golden State Warriors are on the verge of double happiness! Curry is on fire, Paul is on top, and the rookie is outbursting. First of all, the Warriors have won their last three games in a row, accumulating a net win of 48 points, which is a very good result. They defeated the Kings, who were third in the West last season, the Pelicans, a team on the fringes of the playoffs, and the talented Rockets. All of these teams are aggressively win-seeking and eager to make the playoffs (the Rockets are in the hands of the Thunder in the first round next season). As a team that is grinding in on the roster, the Warriors have been integrating relatively quickly.
Curry and Paul, two basketball stars with super high IQs, know more about how to play basketball with the team. Secondly, Curry has been on a hot streak lately, and seems to be getting better and better, and seems to have the determination and ability to compete for the regular season MVP again. Against the Kings, Curry scored 41 points; Against the Pelicans, he scored another 42 points. According to the statistics of the American media, in the past three games, Curry averaged 35.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 61% from the field, 54% from three-point range, 91% from the free throw line, and 81.9% from the field (first in the league).
Curry's performance was reminiscent of the season when he won the MVP. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Curry is once again competing for the regular season MVP. In the end, Curry performed the first miracle in history. According to NBA reporters, Curry has scored 40+ in 31 games in his career (first in NBA history), while Jordan has 25 games (second in history). In addition, Curry is the fourth time in his career that he has made 20+ three-pointers in the first four games of the opening season (the first in NBA history). He is also the first player to score 40+ points multiple times this season.
Curry has 34 40+ hits since he turned 30 (second all-time), trailing only Jordan (44 games). In addition, Curry made 7+ three-pointers in a single game with 119 career attempts, the first in NBA history, ahead of Klay Thompson at 46. To sum up, the Golden State Warriors have had a great start to the season and are amazing on the field. Curry's individual performances have been outstanding, making history time and time again, making people expect him to compete for the regular season MVP again. Paul's addition has made the Warriors even stronger, and they have shown great teamwork and basketball IQ.
And the Warriors' rookies did not disappoint the fans, and they also had excellent performances in the game. I believe that in the coming season, the Warriors will have more wonderful performances and strive for more victories. In the end, do you think the Golden State Warriors can still maintain this form? Do they have a chance of winning the championship again? Feel free to leave a comment and discuss with us.
