Curry hit 35+6+3! The Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers by 20 points. This battle made me see three facts clearly.

The NBA regular season continues, and the Golden State Warriors go away to challenge the Portland Trail Blazers. The two sides met twice in the preseason, with the Warriors double-killing the Trail Blazers. Now, Trail Blazers coach Billups has been arrested, and Splitter has served as the interim coach. The Trail Blazers have remained unchanged in response to changes, and continue to use the starting lineup of Holiday + Sharp + Klingen + Kamara + Avdija; the Warriors just played an intense game with the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals yesterday, and it was an away game back to back. The journey was tiring, and the players were exhausted. Cole took the initiative to adjust the starting lineup to Curry + Butler + Dream Chaser + Kuminga + Post.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors turned away and beat the Trail Blazers by surprise. Everyone in the Trail Blazers clung to the score, and the two sides drew in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers suddenly went berserk, scoring 41 points in a single quarter and establishing a double-digit lead in one fell swoop. When the game changed, Curry stepped forward to lead the team to chase points, but the Trail Blazers were young and energetic and undaunted. Someone always stepped forward to respond. They always held a 10-point lead. In the final decisive battle, the Trail Blazers became more and more courageous, widening the point difference to 20+ in a wave, but the Warriors could no longer close the point difference. In the end, the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers 119-139.

The Warriors fought back-to-back, gaining strength at one go, then failing again, and finally exhausted. You have to sigh: Boxing is afraid of the young! The young people of the Trail Blazers hit hard, fast enough, steady enough and hard enough! At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers outscored the Warriors 66-30 in the paint and crushed the Warriors 30-16 in fast break. More importantly, facing the Warriors led by Curry, the NBA's historical three-point leader, the Trail Blazers responded with their own treatment, and everyone shot like crazy! At the end of the game, the Warriors scored 16 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 42.1%, while the Trail Blazers made 16 of 34 shots from beyond the three-point line, with a three-point shooting rate of 47.1%. The Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers by 20 points. This battle made me see three facts clearly.

First, Curry becomes more and more demonic as he gets older, burning himself out. Curry just scored 42 points yesterday, and he continued his hot touch today. Curry played 27 minutes, making 12 of 22 shots (7 of 14 three-pointers), 4 of 4 free throws, and a total of 35 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks. According to statistics, this is the 90th time Curry has scored 35+ points after turning 30, ranking second in NBA history, second only to Jordan (93 times). At the same time, at the age of 37 years and 237 days, Curry became the oldest guard in NBA history to score 35+ points in back-to-back games, and the oldest point guard in NBA history to score 35+ points in two consecutive games. Curry has become more and more demonic as he gets older, burning himself out and training the Blazers' interior group in a limited time, but he still can't lead the Warriors, and time is not forgiving.

Second, Cole took the initiative to change formations and made constant mistakes. The Warriors had previously won two consecutive games, but Kerr took the initiative to change the lineup and use Post to replace Podemski in the starting lineup. This scientific spirit is commendable, but taking the initiative to change generals is a taboo for military strategists. Post played 15 minutes of false starts and only scored 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Post played as a substitute and completely lost herself. In 22 minutes of play, he only scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-for-9 shooting, and had 2 turnovers. The plus-minus value on the court was -17, the lowest on the team. Not only that, Cole also sent out a strange formation of Butler + Bo + Moody + Richard + Spencer, letting Butler play center. Most people really don't dare to do this. This is also one of the causes of the Warriors' collapse.

Third, all pioneers are soldiers, and Yang Hansen has both opportunities and challenges. The Trail Blazers suddenly changed coaches, but this did not affect the cohesion of the team. In this campaign, facing the powerful enemy Warriors, the Blazers general played a declarative game, with 8 members of the team scoring in double figures. According to statistics, this is the first time in the history of the Trail Blazers that eight players have scored in double figures in a single game since April 1, 2022. Chinese youngster Yang Hansen played 7 minutes as a substitute in this game and scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 blocks. Yang Hansen completed his first career goal in a sports game, and it was a heavy dunk. At the same time, Yang Hansen also made repeated contributions on the defensive end. He ignited the audience with 2 blocks and 0 fouls, which also shows that he is adapting to the intensity and scale of the NBA. All in all, the Trail Blazers focus on a young player. Yang Hansen has both opportunities and challenges. He should start with defense like he did today and seize every second on the court. Fans and friends, what do you think of this?
