Beijing time on December 18, the Warriors ushered in the final game of preseason , after 48 minutes of hard work, they finally beat the Kings 113-109. The reason why it is a hard fight is because the two sides fight to the last minute to decide the victory and defeat, and this has become the main theme of the Warriors preseason. In the three preseason games, the points difference between the Warriors and their opponents was 2 points, 1 point and 4 points respectively. After a long time, they obviously played the preseason as a regular season.
As early as the game started, Warriors coach Cole had a showdown. He said that Curry's playing time in the first half will be implemented in accordance with regular season standards. 12+6+12+6 is Curry's usual standard of playing time in the regular season. The first and third quarters are full, and the second and fourth quarters are half-quarters. Although Curry didn't play in the fourth quarter, he played for nearly 30 minutes in 3 quarters, which is exactly the standard of the regular season! Kerr’s intent for the showdown is obvious: It’s a preseason for others, but it’s the regular season for the Warriors. The coach of
has spoken like this. As the head of Curry, he naturally showed 100% strength. In this game, he scored 29 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in 3 quarters. What's more terrifying is that the shooter who had penetrated Yang with a hundred steps in the past has returned. In these 2 games, Curry scored 26 three-pointers, scoring 11 of them, and a total of 58+10 data in the 2 games! With such a high frequency of three-pointers and a 42.3% shooting rate, people can't help but exclaim: it's him, that MVP is back! Because of injuries, Curry has only played a few games in the past year, but even so, his strength has not diminished in the slightest.
Before the start of the preseason, Curry had not played for more than 280 days, and the Warriors had not played together for 277 days. With this situation and lineup changes, many people naturally think that the Warriors should not be able to compete for the championship, but the Warriors do not think so. Z1z Draymond Green, once bluntly stated in an interview that the Warriors are currently the championship this season, and if they fail to win the championship, it is a failure.
At first, almost everyone doubted Green's statement, but after seeing Curry and the Warriors fight like this in the last game, many people have begun to believe that the Warriors might really come for the championship. Today, Curry broke out and continued to perform high-intensity "homework" in the preseason. This also made Green's words come true. The Warriors really are rushing for the championship. Perhaps the Warriors' lineup is still a little bit behind the Clippers and Lakers, but are they worse with Curry, Oublay, Green and Wiggins? And don’t forget, don’t underestimate the heart of a champion.
