Steph Kerry entered the NBA in 2009, and since then, thanks to a lot of work and thousands of times the orange ball has plunged into the net – he has become the greatest slinger of all time. However, just tonight (Friday-Saturday) Kerry scored his first win of his career with the buzzer.
“It’s time (I’ll get ‘Buzzer Bitter’), this is my first!”, He said curry Who immediately afterwards released a live shout. Back to what happened on the hardwood: In the midst of a drama between Golden State and Houston when the scoreboard showed 103: 103 and the clock remained 5.1 seconds, Kerry danced Kevin Porter Jr. and with a ‘perfect step-back’ stuck the basket from half distance that arranged a 103: 105 victory And gave the signal for the celebrations at the Chase Center. The star finished the game with 22 points and 12 assists.
Quite a bit of pressure was released with this basket. Aside from the fact that Golden State was close to absorbing its seventh loss in 10 games, Kerry opened the season with a storm and was the clear favorite for the MVP title, but downshifted (Russell Westbrook scores a higher percentage of him from the field this season) and saw more and more stars join him and some would say Bypass him in a race for the coveted title. Even against the Rockets Kerry started the game with 1 of 10 from the field (finished with 29%) and kicked a chair on the bench as a result of the nerves, but it seems that at least this time it only did him good.
“Sometimes you have to take out what you feel inside,” the sniper said. “I love the game, my teammates and sometimes when you are not going you have to find the way that will wake you up.” Steve Kerr He said: “In recent weeks we have shown weak ability and Steph was not at his best either. I think the least appreciated element in him is the competitive fire that is within him.” Despite the bad percentages, Lecker had no doubt what the final exercise would be: “I told the players, give the ball to Steph and get him out of the way.”
By the way, this was the Warriors’ first ‘Buzzer Bitter’ since Andre Iguodala’s basket against Atlanta on January 3, 2014. The one who signed for the assist eight years ago is Kerry.
