Nba Finals, Steph Curry: ‘We wanted to come back, we are missing 4 wins now’

Steph Curry hasn’t forgotten. How it all began, those Warriors who weren’t even on his “radar” (“I thought I was going to end up in New York”) when they picked him in the Draft in 2009. “It’s amazing how much we’ve grown from that point to this, to 6 Finals over the past 8 years. And I feel I still have so much to give “. Yes, Steph still has goals to pursue, starting with that fourth career ring that will start playing against Boston tomorrow.

back to the finals

If Steph seems absolutely at ease in the Finals circus, in those “little things that upset your routine”, it’s because he’s used to them by now. They are the sixth in his career, but these have a special flavor. “For what we have been through in the last three years, as individuals and as a team – he says from the podium of the Chase Center press room -. It was our goal to get back to this level, to play another title. I didn’t expect us to start the season as well as we did, with 18 wins in 20 games, but I had faith: in Klay’s return, in how we had played in the final last season after too many ups and downs. In the Play-In we lost, but I realized that we were close, that we were close. We built all of this on that trust, on our new identity. The motivation to return to this level is what has pushed me throughout the season. But we still need 4 victories to really make sense of all this ”.

Curry is what the Warriors spotlight is on to really make sense of this Playoff run. He is averaging 25.9 points and 6.2 assists in the postseason, dominating by three-pointers. But he is much stronger than in the past, much more leader, much more driver and team man, the point of reference of a group built on a mix of youth and experience that has brought Golden State back to this point. “When you change there are always doubts, even I was not sure that this way of building the team would work – he explains -. But we know what I, Draymond and Klay can do when we are healthy, how we can play ”. Golden State starts from here for its assault on the title: from that trio on which one of the best dynasties in NBA history was built, from those three phenomena that it found after more than 1000 days. And with which he now wants to win again.
