On December 17, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Brooklyn Nets!
After the Warriors suffered Green's suspension and a lot of discordant incidents within the team, the team's record was greatly affected!
But in today's game, the Warriors have found their rhythm again!
In the first quarter of the game, Kuminga hit a fast-break thrower as soon as he came up, and the Warriors got off to a good start 2-0
Immediately after that, the Nets attacked the inside, and Claxton hit a rebound to tie the score at 2-2
Then the two teams started a battle of offense, and in the 3:01 minute of the game, the Warriors rewrote the score to 26-23
In the following game, the offensive state of the Warriors was obviously better, so at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors took a 7-point lead at 32-25!
In the second quarter, the Warriors' offensive state was clearly better.
Curry contributed 9 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter.
Klay Thompson also chipped in 12 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal in the second quarter
With the combined efforts of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors scored 38 points in a single quarter in the second quarter of the game.
Although the Nets failed to recover the score, they also scored 29 points in a single quarter.
Thomas still had 12 points and 2 rebounds in the first quarter
Although the Nets did not have any advantage in the overall performance, Thomas's performance still attracted the attention of the Warriors' defense!
In the third quarter of the game, the Yongsan Madness familiar to fans did not return.
On the contrary, the Nets played wave after wave of offensive climaxes in the third quarter of the game.
At 3:03 of the game, the Nets relied on Claxton's aerial relay to close the score to 4 points.
However, Podemski's five-point streak gave the Warriors back the upper hand.
Immediately after the Nets' O'Neal and Thomas scored one after another, the difference between the two sides returned to 3 points
In short, throughout the third quarter of the game, the two sides have been biting tightly, the Warriors have not been able to continue to expand the score, and the Nets have not been so easy to turn the score over!
Just three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Nets rewrote the score to 99-97
Wiggins then stepped back and pulled the score back.
Both teams spent the entire fourth quarter in such a tug-of-war, with 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game
The Warriors led by two points at 117-115 before a three-pointer from Thompson extended the lead
In the following games, the Nets were in hot pursuit, but Curry on the Warriors' side still played a superstar role.
Two of his fast-break hits helped stabilize the Warriors, who narrowly won 124-120.
In terms of data, the Nets' performance is actually okay.
Thomas chipped in a team-high 41 points, five rebounds and two assists.
Bridges contributed 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Claxton chipped in 19 points and 12 rebounds
Johnson scored 13 points, Dinwiddie scored 16 and O'Neal added 11 off the bench
Judging from the players' stats, the Nets played really well today, but there were no absolute superstars who could step up and solve the problem at critical moments.
Unlike the Warriors, there is Curry to stabilize the team in the final moments, and Klay's three-pointers to stabilize the situation.
Now this Nets team really only needs a superstar to take them, if there is really a supergiant to join, this Nets team's combat effectiveness is definitely not bad!
On the Warriors' side, a total of six players scored in double figures today
Curry scored 37 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and played the final quarter as a Jedi Savior, contributing 16 points in a single quarter.
Klay's performance today was also crucial, contributing 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists
Kuminga scored 10 points, Podzemski scored 19, Wiggins off the bench scored 14 and Saric scored 12!
With all the members united, the Warriors swept away the haze of some time ago and won the game smoothly!
After the game, Clay also made an affectionate confession: I am very grateful for Stephen's performance, his performance really allowed us to surpass our opponents, and I hope we can share more of his burden tomorrow!
Klay's words are really true, after all, the various events of the Warriors during this period have made Curry the target of public criticism, and many experts and celebrities feel that Curry lacks leadership temperament, but the meaning of Klay's words is very clear, he will resolutely stand on Curry's side, and he will also support him with actions!
Sure enough, they are good brothers, and I believe that under the leadership of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors will play better and better!
