In fact, Curry's performance in the past month or so has been quite extraordinary.
Although Deng Fang has made a lot of preparations for Curry, it is still not easy to quickly adapt to the intensity of the NBA and perform well.
After all, the current competition is more than a little more intense than the previous NCAA.
However, Curry is also a human being. Among the tough men in the NBA, his physical fitness is still the closest to that of ordinary people.
Playing such a high-intensity game for more than a month will inevitably lead to a bottleneck period, both mentally and physically.
Ordinary people won’t get soreness in their backs and legs even if they play golf for several days in a row!
It looks like Curry's rookie wall is really here.
Soon, the second half of the game started.
Curry's condition was slightly better. He made two three-pointers in the opening game, but then he failed to make a shot again.
There was no way, Curry had to pass more passes.
However, the most lethal thing about Curry is his three-pointers.
Curry wouldn't be Curry without three-pointers.
If Curry is not the soul of the team, the Warriors will definitely not be able to play well either.
If you want to pass the ball, your teammates don't have much ability to attack independently, and there are defenders in front of them.
Belinelli, Prince, and Azubuike are all used to catching and shooting.
There is only one possibility for them to attack with the ball, and that is to go straight to the basket with no one in front of them.
The more Curry fails to make shots, the tighter the Suns' defense becomes.
There was no other way, so Curry had to hand the ball to Lopez and let him play singles in the paint.
This is also the last resort.
Fortunately, Lopez has no problem attacking Stoudemire alone in the paint.
Lopez has height and skills, but Stoudemire's inside defense is not good, so Lopez has a high success rate in inside singles.
However, after Lopez succeeded in a few singles, the Suns began to double attack him.
Lopez had no choice but to pass the ball out.
As a result, the Warriors' outside perimeter got open shooting opportunities.
Curry didn't feel good, but his teammates were still strong, and the Warriors started to score easily.
But the Suns' offense was still sharp, and the Warriors still couldn't defend it.
The third quarter turned into an offensive battle.
The Warriors' scores are rising, and so are the Suns.
The point difference remains the same.
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the score became 78:90.
The Warriors only recovered 2 points.
The game lasted 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors' substitutes recovered 5 points.
Still 7 points behind.
After starting the game, Curry still couldn't find his touch.
As his physical strength declined, Lopez's success rate in singles inside also began to decline.
Lopez is only a second-year rookie, and he has already played 38 minutes in this game.
In the past, Lopez shot more three-pointers from the outside, and that style of play was much easier than today.
The sun's offensive continues unabated.
It is difficult to guard against Laga Bell, but without Laga Bell and Belinelli's defensive loophole, it will be even more difficult to guard against the Suns' offense.
More than 4 minutes later, the score difference returned to 14 points again.
There are only more than two minutes left in the game.
Curry still hasn't found his touch.
It is impossible to rely on Lopez to get back the score one by one in the paint.
Deng Fang waved his flag and replaced the starter.
If you lose, you lose. It's not worth it if another player is injured because of it.
It is foolish to pursue a winning streak blindly.
The Suns' starter played for another minute, and when he saw that there was no problem, he replaced the starter.
In the end, the score was fixed at 99:111.
The Warriors failed to score more than 100 points for the second time this season and lost their third game.
Curry performed poorly, taking 20 three-pointers and only scoring 2, scoring 12 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds.
This ended the fifteen-game winning streak.
Deng Fang didn't pay much attention.
Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. How can it be possible to win all the time?
This would be troublesome if we changed the head coach.
Because one of the Warriors' starting generals is injured, he is likely to have to rest for several months.
If such an unexpected incident occurs, the team's performance will be greatly affected under normal circumstances.
But Deng Fang was not afraid.
Lagabel could only rest for a few days at most.
The team's record is now far ahead, having won 5 more games than the Lakers.
Even if they lose today, they are still 4 games ahead of the Lakers!
…
After the game, the MRI results came out and Lagaber tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Fortunately, it was not completely broken.
However, this kind of injury generally requires several months of rest after surgery.
The shortest term is two or three months, the long term may be seven or eight months.
In addition, even if they recover, it will be difficult for players to completely regain their pre-injury state.
After all, it took too long to leave the competition!
Like Azubuike last time, Deng Fang asked Tim to find a good doctor and performed surgery on Lagabel the next day.
The doctor cannot be too bad, otherwise it will be difficult to find excuses.
But there is no need for a doctor who is too good.
Top doctors are in high demand, and you have to queue up to make an appointment to find such a doctor.
It's not worth wasting that time!
Performance is more important.
After the operation, Deng Fang began to use Qigong to treat Lagaber's illness.
Just like last time, Deng Fang did not let Lagabel recover immediately, but chose to recover after five days, recovering 20% every day.
To be honest, this speed is also very scary.
But there was no way, this was already the limit of what Deng Fang could endure.
If you have to wait for a month or two to get the system, then you are too useless as a host!
It cost Deng Fang 20 ability points to treat Lagabell. In addition to the two ability points deducted for losing to the Sun, Deng Fang still has 22 ability points.
…
Two days later, the Celtics came to Oracle Arena to challenge the Warriors.
The Celtics are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference. They were very reluctant to lose to Lopez's three-pointer in the last game, so they are bound to win this game.
The Warriors had just lost a game, ending their 15-game winning streak, and they wanted to win this game as well.
However, luck is obviously not on the Warriors' side.
Just over two minutes into the game, Lopez dunked during a pick-and-roll with Curry, but Perkins grabbed his head and pulled him down.
Unexpectedly, Lopez stepped on Perkins' foot when he landed and immediately fell to the ground.
A brutal foul!
Or Perkins!
This garbage!
Curry was injured last time because of him!
To say he is a villain is to praise him!
Evil people are human beings too, at least they have a bottom line!
Perkins is not a human being at all, he is a devil!
Deng Fang frowned and shook his head impatiently.
It looked like Lopez was seriously injured.
At least this game can't be played.
In the past month or so, the Warriors players have worked very hard, and many of them have reached their physical limits.
It is easy to get injured if you have a slight accident at this time.
The team doctor checked, and two teammates helped Lopez walk back to the locker room.
Originally, Laga Bell's injury and absence had a great impact on the Warriors, but now they are missing another big player Lopez.
The Warriors' personnel rotation is even more stretched.
