0-of-6, abandoned by Kerr at a critical moment, the United States won, but Curry was not happy after the game

The Olympic men's basketball group stage continued, and today the United States team played a matchup against South Sudan, and they finally beat South Sudan 103-86. South Sudan narrowly beat United States in the warm-up match. Therefore, on the side of the United States team in this official game, they were more prepared, and did not let the warm-up game scene be staged again.

Today the United States men's basketball team changed its starting lineup, with Curry, Booker, Tatum, James and Davis starting together. Embiid, on the other hand, was abandoned by Kerr in this game. In terms of statistics, James had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Curry had a poor hand in this game, shooting 1 of 9 from the field and 0 of 6 from beyond the three-point line with only 3 points and 4 assists. Booker had 10 points and six assists. Durant still came off the bench and had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

On the South Sudan side, Carrick Jones had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, and Omot scored 24 points, and the South Sudan team was still very accurate in three-pointers today, and they made 11 three-pointers.

Although the United States lost today's game, he was not happy for Curry, because he did not play well in this game, shooting 1-of-9 from the game and 0-of-6 from beyond the three-point line. It can be clearly felt that South Sudan focused on Curry's point before the game, and it was difficult for Curry to get space wherever he went. And the players who defend Curry are tall and have long arms and move very fast. Even if Curry comes out to get shooting space, his very long arm span can still affect Curry's shooting, and even today Curry wanted to try to shoot three points directly outside the three-point line when facing the opposing player's defense, but was directly blocked by the opponent.

This kind of team, where all players are tall and have long arms, is really a bit uncomfortable for Curry. Moreover, the South Sudan team has a very competitive style of play, and it is well known that once Curry encounters a very strong physical confrontation in a certain game, he is easy to miss the mark. So Curry didn't play well in this game, so much so that today in the second half of the fourth quarter, Curry repeatedly failed to shoot on the court, and the defensive end was also targeted by the opponent. Kerr also replaced Curry and didn't let him play again. Curry is also very frustrated off the court.

Even when he left Curry after the game, we could see that he was very unhappy with his performance in this game. Even if the United States team won the game, Curry didn't have the slightest smile on his face.

Hopefully, in the next game, Curry can regroup and recover. Although Curry did not score well in this game, he still invisibly affected the United States team on the court, such as his running and involved a lot of defense. Hopefully we'll see Curry's outburst in the next game, and according to the NBA law, when Curry was very sluggish in the first game, he tends to have an outburst in the second.
