On November 13, Beijing time, 3 messages came from the Golden State Warriors far away on the other side of the ocean. Let’s take a look.
Referee report Deli
Yesterday, the Warriors played against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Cavaliers at home. Finally, after a fierce battle, the Warriors defeated their opponent 106:101. It is worth mentioning that there were many controversial calls in this game, such as the offensive foul of Thompson , and the Mitchell urged the defensive foul of Green without contact. Today, nba officially released the referee report for the last two minutes of the game. The results showed that a total of 1 missed judgment occurred, and the Warriors benefited.
With 36 seconds left in the game, the Warriors launched an attack, and Curry held the ball from the outside, Thompson brought up the screen and knocked down the Okogi who was defending Curry. Then Curry hit a three-pointer to kill the game. The referee report pointed out that Thompson had obvious force movements when making screens and did not give Okogi enough defensive space. He should be called for a cover foul, and the ball belongs to the Cavaliers. In addition, Green fouled Mitchell for the ball. The referee report pointed out that Green moved to Mitchell's route, causing contact between the legs of both sides, and he should call for a defensive foul.
Judging from the referee report, many people will think that the Warriors are the one who benefits. After all, there is no such missed blow, and it is not certain who wins and who loses. But in fact, this is not the case. Looking at the whole game, the Warriors, who were at home, were hailed 26 fouls and received only 10 free throws, while the Cavaliers only had 15 fouls and received 24 free throws. Such a big gap under the same scale also means that if the referee did not favor the Cavaliers in the first 46 minutes, the game would not be stalemate at all. I have to say that I hope the referee can be more rigorous and fair in the future, and don’t make any referee reports that confuses the public and generalizes the matter after the game.
Curry shows the style of the last quarter
This season, Warriors star Stephen Curry performs well. As of now, he has played in 11 games, averaging 33.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 91%. Not only are he ranked at the top of the league in many statistics, but many have set career highs. As a veteran with mediocre physical fitness and 34 years old, Curry is very commendable for delivering such a report card in his 14th NBA year.
Today, StatMuse, a well-known American data media, posted Curry's average score performance in each quarter, including: averaging 7.2 points per game in the first quarter, 8.3 points per game in the second quarter, 8.5 points per game in the third quarter, and 9.1 points per game in the fourth quarter. It is worth mentioning that Curry averaged only 8 minutes of playing time in the fourth quarter. In the last two minutes, facing the urgent defense of 2 or 3 opponents, Curry made a total of 8 of 12 shots (shot percentage of 66.7%) and scored 29 points, far ahead of the second place. It is obvious that Curry slapped the face of those Kuroko who questioned his bad key goals with practical actions, perfectly interpreting what the king of the final quarter is. Unfortunately, due to the team's poor record, otherwise Curry's performance would definitely be reason to top the MVP list.
One general is now
Yesterday, the reason why the Warriors were able to win the Cavaliers was not only related to the stable performance of star players such as Curry, Wiggins, Green, and Poole , but also closely related to the emergence of bench player Anthony Lamb. In the whole game, Lamb played 23 minutes, made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and ranked second in the game with +6 plus or negative value. After the game, Lamb's performance also attracted great praise from teammates such as Looney and Green.
In fact, Lamb's excellent performance is just a microcosm of his good form this season. He currently plays in 4 games, averaging 8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting percentage of 56.5%, and three-point shooting percentage of 42.9%. Especially in the past three games, Lamb squeezed out talented monsters such as Wiseman and Kumingga, successfully entered the regular rotation, and scored in double digits in two games. He spared no effort when he was on the court, and made achievements in both offense and defense, and did not disappoint the coaching staff's trust.Today, according to a reporter from the Warriors' team, Lamb's performance deeply touched the management. A person familiar with the internal operations of the Warriors revealed that if Lamb can continue to perform well, the Warriors will most likely convert his two-way contract into a formal contract. Working hard and being humble and positive, Lamb is likely to continue writing the inspirational story of Peyton last year.
