Curry: 2 wins and 1 loss is not bad given the tight schedule at the beginning of the season. You always have to test the lineup at the beginning of the season.
6686 Sports October 25th: In the NBA regular season, the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers 119-139, ending their opening two-game winning streak.
In this game, Curry performed well but failed to lead the team to victory. He played 27 minutes, making 12 of 22 shots and 7 of 14 three-pointers. He scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. After the game, Curry was interviewed.
Talk about error control
Curry: "We know very well that some teams have a very oppressive playing style and will try to force us to speed up the pace, and their athletic ability is very good. So if we make mistakes again, such mistakes will provide impetus for their attack, not to mention they are very strong. But if We gave them opportunities to score quickly, and they continued to apply pressure. So this speaks volumes about our performance tonight, especially because we faced such an opponent tonight."
On how to deal with the Blazers' pressing style
Curry: "Just try to simplify the ball possessions and do a good job of strategic organization. They played well in the first quarter, but in the first three or four minutes, they suppressed us by converting errors into points, and every time they took advantage, they either made three-pointers or scored at the basket."
On whether he is satisfied with the 2-1 record in the beginning?
Curry: "The coach used to say, 'win this week.' It's very important. Considering the schedule, not only are there back-to-back games, but we also have to play three games in three different cities at the beginning of the season. Our performance is actually very strong: we won in Denver and played a very professional victory against Los Angeles. We also had good momentum tonight, but we couldn't win the game in the end."
So the core is to 'win this week' and keep doing this. Throughout the season, we will be in a good situation at the end. Of course, losing doesn't feel good - especially when the team's morale is high and everyone is in good shape. No one likes this feeling. But it's a good test for us, and all we have to do is bounce back and protect the home court on Monday.
Talk about experimenting with lineup arrangements
Curry: "At the beginning of the season, the key is to try more and figure out how we should play and which lineups work. This depends on both on-the-spot feeling and data reference - you have to calculate which lineups are effective and against which teams. So if we can win the game while trying lineups, it is always a good thing for us."
