“Warriors Advance in Playoffs Thanks to Curry’s 50 Points and Looney’s Dominant Performance on the Boards”

(Agence France-Presse, San Francisco, 30th) The American NBA Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings played the seventh game of the first round of the playoffs today. The Warriors star Curry scored 50 points and led the team to advance in the tiebreaker. In the second round, Looney worked hard with 21 rebounds, and the Warriors coach saw it.

Stephen Curry’s career-high 50 points in the playoffs became the focus of the spotlight. The 27-year-old center Kevon Looney fought for rebounds and became the best backing, helping the Warriors beat the Kings 120-100. In the first round of the playoffs, they advanced with 4 wins and 3 losses.

“We couldn’t beat them on the rebounds,” Kings head coach Mike Brown said. “Looney was unbelievable.”

The Warriors grabbed 18 offensive rebounds, 13 in the third quarter alone, and scored 24 points on the second attack. Looney contributed 11 points, 21 rebounds and 4 assists today, including 10 offensive rebounds, helping the team dominate the game in the second half.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said: “Looney is so serious about protecting the rebound every night. I think he has most of the ball on the offensive rebound in the game.”

“I think Looney is one of the best centers in the league, and people don’t realize it because he doesn’t dunk, he doesn’t shoot 3s and all that stuff, but this guy is a hard worker, like a guy,” Kerr said. A machine without which we would never have come here.”

Looney has three games with more than 20 rebounds in the first round of this playoffs. When the Warriors face the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round, preventing him from grabbing rebounds will be an important goal of the Lakers’ penalty area general Anthony Davis. .

Looney said: “This is what I should do. I’m a long man. I have to set the tone for the team in this regard and create more extra offensive opportunities. Every game we lose, it has to do with rebounding. .”

“I grabbed a lot of rebounds tonight and made a lot of extra offensive opportunities to help the team win.”

In addition to Looney, Curry is the biggest contributor to the team’s victory today. He made 20 of 38 shots, including 7 three-pointers, blasted 50 points, added 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Teammate Draymond Green said: “Totally dominated the field. This is the ideal partner to go on the battlefield, no doubt about it. He played unbelievable.”

Looney also said that Curry’s wonderful performance will be unforgettable for him forever.

“When you think he can’t get better or set more records, he’s going to deliver what he did tonight,” Looney said.

“He keeps improving. He has always been our great leader. With him, we will not lose, and he can also improve his teammates. This kind of performance will be something you will never forget.”
