The NBA's regular season continued, with the Warriors vs. Pacers, and in the end, the Warriors beat the Pacers 102-100. In terms of statistics, Curry had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Wiggins 15 points and 5 rebounds, Green 15 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Rooney 14 points and 8 rebounds, Poole 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Porter 10 points and 6 rebounds; Pacers' Little Sabonis 30 points, 11 rebounds, Brogdon 23 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Le Vere 19 points and 5 assists, Turner 6 points and 10 Arona no, Brisette 8 points, 4 rebounds, Lamb 5 points.
Such a game, Curry's obsession with three points, is still there, Ray Allen's record is there, if you don't want to break, it is impossible. So? In such games, Curry shot 20 times, 15 of them were three-pointers, and the three-point shot was 5 of 15, but what about two-pointers? It's 3 out of 5.
That is to say, when everyone thinks that Curry is going to break the three-point record, everyone's defensive focus is actually Curry's three-point shot, at this time, if Curry is reasonable, rational, don't be so anxious, everything may be better. Because if Curry contributes 2 points, it is a surprise, and it is difficult for opponents to contain. Otherwise, at the crucial moment, the Warriors trailed by five points 95-100. At this time, Curry first scored a three-pointer, and then what? The opponent's defense was still three points, and Curry scored 2 points under the basket. Such 2 points became the key to the team's reversal of the situation. Such Curry, at the last moment, remembered that he is not only a three-point shooter, but also a super giant, and the ability to combine human balls is also the top in this league.
So, in such a game, is Curry the biggest contributor to winning? Objectively speaking, yes and no. From the data, it seems to be so, but from the perspective of obsessing with three points, it is not. Because, if it weren't for his obsession with three points, for the Warriors, the game might not have been played until the last minute, and it might have ended a long time ago. So? Personally, I think that such a game can be won, and Payton II is indispensable.
In the whole game, Payton II played 9 minutes, shooting 1 of 1, cutting 3 points, steals and 1 block, plus or minus -12. If you only look at it from the data, where is the hero, this is the person who is absolutely lagging behind. But what? If you watch the game, you know that such data is bleak, and for Peyton II, he is a brilliant athlete.
Why? Because at the critical moment, the Pacers' LeVert offense, such a ball into the basket, then the Warriors is basically a very dangerous situation. But ultimately? An important reason behind Le Vere's offensive gains is that Le Ver's offense was defended by Peyton II.
Such a defense is worth a lot, and many people have said bluntly, thinking that Curry has killed the game in his own way, and also thought that other players can end the game in their own way. But no one expected that it would be Peyton II who would close the game with his own defense. Such a scene gives people a feeling of old tears. Anyway, as a fan, seeing this scene, I still admire the Courage of the Warriors in choosing him to give up Bradley. Now it seems like the right decision.
3 points in 9 minutes, plus or minus -12, but Payton II is the biggest contributor to the Warriors' wins. In any case, such Peyton II, with his own actions to prove that he can still stand in such an alliance.
