NBA Christmas War has a total of five games, the first game is the Knicks vs. the Bucks, and the second game is the Warriors vs. Nuggets! The Warriors have won 5 consecutive victories, and the Nuggets have won 4 consecutive victories.
Where did the Warriors lose in this game? They lost on three points, the first was that they couldn't shoot accurately, especially at the three-point line, and the second was that the Splash Brothers did not perform well! The third was that the skills and tactics were blown up by the opponent, especially the free throw line, which eventually led to the Warriors generals being dissatisfied with the league and the referee's blowing penalty!
Let's take a look at the first point first, the shooting rate of the three-point line! In this game, the Warriors made 40 outside three-point shots, and only hit 14 shots, on the other hand, the Nuggets used 36 shots and also hit 14 three-pointers.
The second is that the Splash Brothers are not doing well, especially Curry, Klay only scored 9 points, and Curry scored 18 points. Especially the three-point shooting percentage, the two made 6 of 23 three-point shots in total. Especially Curry. In this game, he made a total of 21 shots to only 7 shots, and the three-point shot was even more miserable 3 of 13, and he only scored a three-second technical free throw in the game, and there were 3 turnovers, and the plus/minus of -26 was the lowest in the game.
According to statistics, Curry has participated in 10 Christmas games so far in his career, with a record of 4 wins and 6 losses, an average of 15.6 points per game, a shooting rate of 31.7%, and a three-point shooting rate of 23.1%, which is completely inconsistent with Curry's status as a top superstar in the league, and it is not surprising that the Warriors lost.
The third reason for the loss was that the Nuggets were too fierce! The Nuggets went to the free throw line 32 times in this game and hit 26 of them. Among them, Jokic alone walked to the free throw line 18 times, and hit all of them! You must know that Jokic only scored 26 points in this game. Talking about this statistic after the game, Warriors coaches Kerr and Curry were dissatisfied!
Kerr angrily complained that there was a problem with the league rules, and if he didn't let the defense, he would be cheating the whistle! "It's disgusting to parade at the free throw line!" The Warriors were also very dissatisfied with the referee's blowing penalty, and said in an interview after the game that the standard for the referee's blowing penalty in this game was one day and one night! In other words, the Warriors lost and were hacked.
Kerr and Curry's remarks sparked heated discussions, some fans praised Kerr, and now the league referees have all kinds of body hair whistles, inexplicable fouls on the free throw line, the game is intermittent, and the rhythm is not, how do you watch this game? Of course, there are also fans who complain that Kerr can't afford to lose, and the referee is blamed for losing, I don't know what the fans think of what Kerr said? Welcome to leave a comment!
