Curry thrives both offensively and defensively

Today, the well-known American sports media "BF" published the data of Warriors star Stephen Curry this season and congratulated him for becoming the fastest player to reach 100 points this season. According to statistics, in the past three games, Curry scored 23 points, 42 points, and 35 points respectively. He averaged 33.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks in 32 minutes per game. His three shooting percentages were 52.5%, 45.7%, and 100% (all 20 free throws were made). Among them, the points per game (6th), the total three-pointers made (16) (1st), and the three-pointers made per game (5.3) all rank among the top in the league.

Compared with the hot state on the offensive end, Curry's performance on the defensive end is even more eye-catching. Before the start of today's game, Curry's total number of steals and blocks was 11 (7 steals and 4 blocks), ranking second in the league, second only to Spurs monster Bunyama. Judging from the game process, Curry has become smarter and better able to read the opponent's offensive intentions. He can block the opponent's passing route and even complete blocks in front of players taller than himself. Obviously, as a 37-year-old veteran, it is not easy for Curry to deliver such a performance at the beginning of the season, which is enough to prove that Curry put in unimaginable sweat and hard work in the training gym during the offseason. Veterans will only slowly wither away if they don't die! Highest respect to Curry.

Celebrity praises Butler

Today, NBA celebrity and current basketball commentator Gilbert Arenas praised Warriors forward Jimmy Butler on his podcast and believed that the Warriors should regard Butler as the team's second choice. Arenas said: "Judging from recent performance, Butler fully understands what he needs to do, and he performed very well. Butler is the kind of player who can show aggression on both ends of the offense and defense. He can attract the opponent's attention throughout the game, and then restrict the opponent's best player on the defensive end. If Butler can maintain this state, the Warriors are likely to establish a dynasty again, so the Warriors should establish Butler as the second core as soon as possible." So far this season, Butler has averaged 22 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

Fans have been talking a lot about Arenas's views. Some people said: "Indeed, Butler has rich experience, skills and comprehensive skills. He is most suitable to play the secondary attacker next to Curry. Such a warrior is the most threatening." Some people said: "Forget it, Butler is old and has obvious shortcomings in shooting. But it is better to establish an aggressive young man like Kuminga, so that even if he cannot win the championship in the past two years, he can make plans for the future." So what do you think of this? Who is the most suitable player for the Warriors to play the second core role of the team at present?

Updated appearance against the Grizzlies

Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Warriors will face the Grizzlies at home. Today, the Warriors officially released the injury list and appearance status of this game, specifically: Melton (recovering from knee surgery), Jackson Rowe (two-way), Horford (load management, not playing in the first game of back-to-back) will be absent; the remaining players can play. By then, facing the old rival Grizzlies, who are in good form this season and have strengthened their lineup, can the Warriors sweep away the decline of the Trail Blazers in the last game and successfully defend their home court honor? Worth the wait.
