The United States men's basketball team won the Olympic men's basketball gold medal by defeating France 98-87 in the Olympic men's basketball final. In this game, Curry played another god battle. After making nine three-pointers in the last semifinals, Curry made another eight three-pointers in today's game. Curry hit 17 three-pointers in both games and was the main contributor to the United States men's basketball team's victory in the semifinals and finals. It can be said that without Curry's god play in these two games, the United States men's basketball team may have long been defeated on the court.

So now we can see why Kerr is trying to make sure Curry is coming to the Olympics this year. Because Kerr knows very well that with Curry he has a person who can turn the tide, and any time you can trust Curry's shot, he can do incredible miracles on the court.

Today, Curry hit four consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter, which directly knocked out the suspense of the game. At that time, many fans who watched the game felt inexplicable, the game was still in a scorching scene, and they originally thought that the two sides would play until the last few seconds to decide the winner. But Curry's series of three-pointers directly made the game less suspenseful in advance. And who noticed what the United States players were doing on the field in the last minutes? Maybe James and Curry are teammates for the first time, and they don't know much about Curry.

So you will find that when Curry made the last three-pointer, James was in an empty position at 45 degrees on the left side, James raised his hands to ask for the ball, and Durant on the side was also in an empty position, and he was also raising his hands to ask for the ball. Because Curry has already faced two people defending, it stands to reason that it should be given to Durant and James, but at that moment Curry still chose to shoot in the top two because at that moment he knew that no one could guard him. Because he knows that as long as he finishes his shot, the ball will go in.

Curry's shot is extremely fast, even if two people defend, but as long as he is given space to shoot, the defense of two people is equivalent to the defense of one person, and there is no difference for him. The most important thing in defending Curry is not to give him any space to shoot, not even the slightest bit, because his shot speed is too fast. Especially when defending against the ball, you have to do everything you can to surround him. As long as Curry gets an open spot, there is a chance that he will be able to shoot. So all the players are in a lot of pain when they're defending Curry.

Through Curry's performances in these two Olympics games, we can clearly feel that although he is 36 years old, his form seems to be still at his peak. So what can the Warriors do next season not to waste Curry's prime? Maybe this is something that needs to be considered by management and Cole. Curry's honeymoon with the United States national team is over, and he may have to face the reality of the Warriors and the journey to compete for the NBA championship. Hopefully, he will be able to create one miracle after another in the NBA next season.
