Steve Kerr, Curry dreams and work is born: Warriors win in Boston and win fourth NBA title in eight years

The 2016 final between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, in what was LeBron James’ last title before leaving for the Los Angeles Lakers, was an exception to a more or less basic rule in an NBA decision: Game 5 of a match. decision that is tied has a lot of decisive in its result. Around here you could feel the importance of the last game in San Francisco, around here you also felt all the frustration of the Boston Celtics faces the defeat against the Warriors by just ten points (104-94).

Steph Curry is someone who finishes what she starts (from a sociology major to the NBA Finals)

That the whole of the Eastern Conference has one of the best defenses in the NBA, no one doubts. Putting up an opposing formation to have a 16.7% 3-point shooting percentage in the starting lineup with 30 shots attempted was half the battle, everyone knew. That hitting Steph Curry on 3 of 9 shots was key was inevitable. All this happened, but not even the Celtics, who gave the idea of ​​having the game in hand, managed to avoid losing to Andrew Wiggins at the All-Star level (perhaps even MVP). For the first time in 233 straight games, The NBA great shooter was just dry dust after 43 points in Game 4. Still, his team was just one win away from winning a fourth title in six Finals in the last eight seasons.

“Well, I don’t actually remember being that happy about zero percentage on I don’t know how many pitches tonight. Knowing the context of the game, it was proven that the other ways we were trying to impact the game and the fact that the other four players had successful formulas helped win the game on an offensive level”, fired the pitcher who, according to a story told by coach Steve Kerr before Game 6 in Boston, he was also very inspired by Roger Federer. “The Dramond [Green] He wanted to know how he was at that level for 20 years. The answer was simple and profound: ‘I love my daily ritual. I wake up, I make breakfast for the kids, I drop them off at school, I go to training and I look for the best methods to be the best at my age. I love to compete but with this I put my head on the pillow and think I had a great day.’ Steph is very similar in this process,” she said.

More or less discreet, with more or less compromises, this is also Curry’s philosophy, that he could reach his fourth NBA title in eight years with a team with more emerging young values ​​than the rest of the generations. He could and did not forgive: assuming himself as the maximum exponent of the team, the number 30 had an exhibition at his best level and showed that we can now speak of a dynasty of a team that in recent years has been in the decisions and that is capable of return to medium-term level.

The first half of the game showed how you can change a game and a final in a couple of minutes: with Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown (seven points each) in the crosshairs, and with defensive aggressiveness having the merit of stopping the Warriors attack. , the Celtics forced Steve Kerr to stop the game with just 2.35 minutes of playing time and a 12-2 run, the advantage was still 12 points (14-2) but the visitors managed to turn things around with five points each. Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole and Daymond Green, finishing ahead 27-22 with several triples.

The Warriors final was 11-0 on an unlikely outside shot by Poole to the table, but just when you thought the break would come in handy for the Celtics, the start of the second final was even worse for the Boston team: missed shots , losses. of ball without shot, many offensive errors, total passivity in the defensive phase and the step to a partial of 21-0 in a few minutes who reversed a 12-point deficit to a 15-point gain in less than a period. More: In 9:35 minutes, the Warriors posted an improbable 35-8 record that left Curry jumping on the bench. The match was insane, with the Celtics then recovering to 37-29 with an 8-0 run but the visitors once again had a shot from the front by more than 20 points ahead (54-33), finishing with 54- 39 at halftime.

The Celtics had a record of lost the ball in the first part of the final (12) and saw the first turning point against him increasingly in the hands of the Warriors, who came back from the locker room with boiling hands and scoring all the outside shots they tried with the inevitable Steph Curry in the spotlight. Even when things weren’t going well, there was always a Wiggins on the offensive rebound to win the ball, taking Game 6 to 72-50 after a 3-pointer by Curry who, in reaction, started counting championship rings on his fingers. … with the one from 2022. It seemed done but the Celtics still showed that they had one more life, in a recovery that left the game by ten points at the end of the third period (76-66).

From the team to the stands, there were only 12 minutes left to avoid defeat in the match, in the final and in the season. That was the challenge of the Boston team, which entered with high spirits to make history, being only the second group to be able to annul 15 points at halftime in a final (the record was 53-1). If it is true that Jaylen Brown was the best and that Al Horford grew a lot in the second half, Jason Tatum had a “no-show” when the team needed him most and Curry opened the last pages of a book that seems to have ended. no end (90-103), giving the final blow in another match over 30 points (34) for the fourth career title party which places the Warriors as the third team in the NBA with the most trophies, now ahead of the Chicago Bulls and only behind the Los Angeles Lakers and … the Boston Celtics.
