Curry: The Rockets have been using joint defense for a long time, and Warriors players must take action when they have the opportunity!

Basketball

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals. After this game, the Warriors' backcourt core Stephen Curry was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about the Rockets' defensive strategy and the team's mentality in the series G7.

When talking about the Rockets' long-term use of joint defense, Curry said: Who can enter this league has few tricks? Facing such defensive strategies as our opponents, all we can do is to take action directly when we have the opportunity, and there is no need to hesitate at all. Since you are on the court, you must dare to fight and take responsibility. As long as you can find your own shooting rhythm, we will continue to support you even if you don’t hit the shot. Speaking about the team's mentality in the G7 life-and-death battle, Curry continued: If you don't appear in such a game with the right mindset, then you may have to prepare for a long vacation after the game is over. No one wants to be the team that packs home. Our current plan is to pack up and prepare for a week's trip. Next we will fly to Texas first and hope to fly directly to Minnesota after the game is over. This is our attitude towards the G7.

Since the playoffs this season, Curry has averaged 37.1 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 24.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.7 blocks, and 4 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage is 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage is 39.1%, and free throw shooting percentage is 88.5%. In the series G6, Curry's performance was actually very average. He shot 9 of 23 shots, 6 of 16 from the three-point line and 5 of 6 free throws in the game with a low efficiency. He scored the highest score of 29 points plus 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block with a low efficiency. He also had 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -11.

Curry's performance in this round of series has not been outstanding. His various data have not improved compared to the regular season. Considering that his playing time has increased a lot, such performance is actually somewhat unsatisfactory to everyone's expectations. As the team's number one star, Curry should also take on more tasks and provide enough support to the team on the offensive end, but so far, he has not done this completely. I don’t know what kind of performance Curry will perform in this life and death G7.
