On February 28, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. The Warriors played against the Lone Rangers at home. Klay Thompson did not play in this game. Draymond Green has not yet returned, and it has become Curry’s single-core team. .
Curry, who won the All-Star Game MVP in Cleveland, picked up a new trophy in front of home fans before the game, and trained him to shoot 16 before the game, which may inspire him to play better.
In the five games before the All-Star Weekend, Curry’s performance was not good. He only had 26.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%. He led the team to 1 win and 4 losses. .
In Game 2 after the All-Star came back, Curry scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists against the Mavericks, a possible playoff opponent, but the team was led by a large score in the fourth quarter. Reversed and lost 101-107 regretfully.
At the beginning of the game, Curry did not have a strong desire to attack. Instead, he integrated into the team system, cooperated with the team to defend and counterattack, and attacked through steals and fast breaks. Wiggins was more like the protagonist of the Warriors in this section, while Curry also knew how to give the stage to his little brother, played a supporting role and sent 4 assists. The Warriors also ended the first quarter with a 37-24 lead due to good chemistry. In the second quarter, he mixed and matched the backup lineup to organize the Warriors’ offensive until Wiggins came back on the court and Curry also came off the court to rest, but Curry returned to the court less than 3 minutes after the rest. At this time, the Lone Ranger launched a counterattack under the leadership of Doncic. The Warriors, who were in a scoring drought, needed Curry to fight back, and Curry did not live up to the coach’s trust. In 2 minutes and 56 seconds, Curry, who had just played, used a shot. Throwing back to Doncic’s goal, and then he assisted his teammates in a row, plus his consecutive points, opened the point difference to double digits again, and the Warriors entered the second half 60-48.
Changing sides to fight again, the obvious score gap made it easier for Curry to play. He put away his offensive firepower and turned to assist his teammates to complete the cooperation. He sent 3 assists in a row in the opening to widen the lead to 20 points. With the Warriors in control of the situation on the court, Curry was also replaced at 2:26 in the third quarter to rest.
But Curry didn’t clock off work in three quarters. The Warriors with many injuries still needed Curry to be on the court to stabilize their hearts. In the fourth quarter, he returned to the court with the whistle, but Curry didn’t make much contribution. Instead, let the Lone Ranger Reduce the score and show momentum. When the Mavericks narrowed the difference to single digits, Curry tried to take over the game, but Curry, who was too slack, hit the iron from beyond the three-point line for two consecutive rounds.
At 5 minutes and 37 seconds, after the Warriors were continuously attacked by opponents, Curry was replaced by Kerr. At 3 minutes and 54 seconds, Curry came back on the court, but he immediately missed the shot and was seized by the opponent to overtake. Although Curry finally made a three-pointer at a critical moment, it was still too late and was reversed by the Lone Ranger. 107-101 victory over the Warriors.
Curry, who scored 50 points in the All-Star Game, still has a lot to prove. He has to prove that he can still be dominant in high-intensity games. This is something he has been questioned by the outside world, and Green and Klay are not there. Now, it’s a good chance for Curry to prove himself.
The Warriors also need a tougher Curry to get to the end of the title race.
