He passes the block, looks up and lets go of the ball. At that moment he starts running in search of him like a soul that takes the devil. Draymond Green It doesn’t take long to find him. He receives, feints, his defender flies, and only then does he rise up for magic to spring from his hands, once more. The feeling that everything is possible with Stephen Curry on the pitch is a real thing. The mere presence of the Warriors star injects those around him with extra motivation, confidence, especially when there is a comeback in progress or the game has gone uphill. And during the duel against Milwaukee Bucks this sentence was made clear again in an epic victory for Golden State in overtime by 125 to 116.
Steph doesn’t move around the field, she flows. He doesn’t play, he creates. The richness of his movements, readings and gestures forces the other team to go through a situation of extreme tension when the game is on the wire. One misstep and Curry will punish him with the maximum penalty he knows. No one escapes his clutches, not even one of the best individual defenders in the league such as Jrue Holiday, who on this day suffered in the last minutes to stand up to him. It is not just a question of concentration, anticipation or even abilities, but of isolation, of functioning on the same mental plane as the Warriors point guard, something within the reach of very few.
The exhibition in the clutch Before the Bucks, because there is no other way to describe what was done, he has once again exemplified two issues.

The first, that Stephen Curry is an infinite player. “It’s fun to watch. Every time the ball leaves his hand you know the shot is going well.” declared Donte DiVincenzo, teammate of the star after the game against Milwaukee. Steph makes things happen by creating the right context for it himself. And the rest either look impassively, or are immersed in that logic almost without realizing it.
Second, that Golden State’s playoff potential is going to depend almost entirely on what Curry can do. This is nothing new, but this season it may be more necessary compared to previous years. The margin of error The one the Warriors work with to be in a position to repeat the title is minuscule, even if it comes to having a long postseason run.
Hence, in order to achieve your goals or finish the course with your head held high, it is essential to deposit everything in Steph.

The Warriors knocked out the best team of the last quarter of the season in an evening in which Giannis Antetokounmpo was not there. For this they were necessary 36 Curry Points in a series of 12 of 27 (48.1%) from the field and 6 of 15 from triple (40%), as well as 22 goals from Klay Thompson (50% TC) and a brilliant performance by the injured Draymond Green with 13 rebounds and 9 assists. The compenetration of the old Golden State trident made it possible in an evening in which Milwaukee led by 8 with 2:43 remaining to the end of regulation time.
