On February 12, Beijing time, there were 3 messages from the Golden State Warriors, let's take a look.
The referee's report is out
Yesterday, the Warriors sat at home against the Suns, and after four quarters of wonderful battles, with Curry's key quasi-three-point shot, the Warriors defeated the Suns 113-112, ending the opponent's three-game winning streak and ushering in a four-game winning streak. However, some fans and commentators do not agree with this result, they believe that the Warriors can win the game because of the home whistle, and Curry's quasi-lore is suspicious. Today, the NBA officially released the referee report for the last two minutes of the game, and the results were all correct, for Curry's ball, the referee's explanation was that Curry established his left foot as the center foot after receiving the ball, and shot directly after turning, without walking violations.
Obviously, from the referee's report and the number of fouls (Warriors 20:13) and free throws (Warriors 11:16) throughout the game, it is not difficult to see that the Warriors have suffered some losses instead of gains. In other words, the Warriors won yesterday because of their real skills, and their recent form, focus and ability to finish games have really been much better. And with this hard-won victory in hand, I believe it is a huge boost of self-confidence for the whole Warriors team.
Green pinched Adu
Yesterday, the reason why the Warriors were able to successfully defend their home honor was not only related to Curry's brave play, but also inseparable from Green's key defense in the final moments. 0At 6 seconds, the Suns executed the last attack, and Green defended Durant closely, causing the latter to miss the ball and lose the chance to kill. Interestingly, after the final whistle, Green was still unyielding, roaring at Durant in celebration, and even said "Curry will always be better than you" such as Adu's mentality, which also made the sensitive Adu bow his head helplessly and leave the court with a wry smile.
Today, according to the well-known statistic ** statmamba, although Green plays center most of the time against Nurkic, when Green defends Durant, the latter only makes 1 of 3 shots and has as many as 3 turnovers. You must know that Durant is known as the "Grim Reaper", and his stable and cold-blooded play is his signature, but it is rare to be so embarrassed in the face of Green's defense, which is enough to prove how well Green knows Adu. At the same time, Green can handle Adu emotionally and mentally, worthy of the man who said the famous saying "before you come and after you leave", Green is probably the player Adu is the most reluctant to meet on the field.
Battle Jazz Appearances Update
Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Beijing time, the Warriors will play the Jazz on the road. Today, the Warriors officially updated the injury list and appearances for this game, specifically Paul (palm fracture repair surgery) will be absent, Moody (right calf strain) is doubtful, and the rest of the players can play. It is worth mentioning that the Jazz are currently ranked 11th in the West, only 05 wins, if you win this game, you will overtake the Warriors and enter the play-off ranks. At that time, will the Warriors be able to continue their recent good form and win this card battle? We'll see.
