Klay Thompson triples his curse and that of the Warriors

The '11' of the San Francisco franchise scored 41 points with 10 triples in the win in Houston


At last. After eight losses outside the San Francisco Bay Area, the Golden State Warriors won on the road. Not without complications, as the weak Houston Rockets competed until the end (120-127). But they knocked down the curses that persecuted them in their style: riddling from the perimeter. With a Klay Thompson that reminded him of his best stages after billing an impressive 10/13 from the triple for 41 total points.

Damn, because Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors are elements that feed off each other. The '11' represents the other great player from Bahía who, together with Curry, bullied the NBA. But also on the opposite side. His physical and defensive decline means that the Bahía team falls, and that the solutions from the bench do not respond. Only Jordan Poole and not consistently.

Therefore, reasonable doubts that Thompson was knocked down in Houston appeared. As he likes the most because in the last quarter he made triples in the last three minutes that seemed key, like the tenth and last one with a minute to go (123-117) that definitively distanced the Rockets. "When you try 10 triples I can confidently say that I think they will go in. It's something I work on. I wanted a game like that and I feel great to be able to 'fly' and play with a free mind," he explained at the end.

In NBA history, he is the second player with the most times with 10 triples or more in a game. He is the seventh and only Stephen Curry, with 22, surpasses him. "It's promising and I hope it creates good interactions between Klay and the others. So we can all be happy," Steve Kerr recounted. He will not hesitate and those pressures that said he should be a substitute will disappear.

Along with Klay, Curry delivered another brilliant production. 33 points, his 11th game of the course with more than 30 points. In addition, Curry's seven triples and Wiggins's six added to Thompson's 10 make them the trio with the most triples, 23, in a game in history.

For his part, Usman Garuba played 22 minutes and scored 3 points with 6 rebounds. He highlighted how in the final minutes he ended up paired with Stephen Curry on the perimeter. The '30' changed ahead and Garuba, far from losing reference, prevented Steph from ruling the game definitively. It grows.

Guevara, Mister Spain 2022

The Moto3 champion wins all four races in our country, as Lorenzo or Márquez did, before jumping to Moto2 No one doubts that Izan Guevara is a 'crack' that, almost certainly, will be even more so in the coming years. The Spaniard prevailed in the Valencia race, to say goodbye to the year, fulfilling the objective that he had set for himself: to achieve victory in the four events in Spain. Only Jorge Lorenzo had obtained it in 2015 and Marc Márquez, in 2019. Both were champions that year in MotoGP, as the one in Palma has been this campaign in Moto3. Aspar's pupil, furthermore, did so being true to himself, in the style with which he has built his crown and with which he has shaped a driving style that threatens to be infallible in the highest displacements: with a devilish cornering, shooting wildly from the start and not worrying about the others at any time. Nothing to wait for slipstreams or dose yourself for the final laps, like others who won like this. But Izan has ot...

Athletic's safety net

Image
 Vivian, Yeray, Iñigo Martínez, and Vesga are key to the good offensive and defensive performance of the lions Athletic has performed at the Champions League level in this first part of the competition. This is reflected in the points achieved, which allow them to watch the World Cup from fourth place, and their offensive and defensive records, placing them among the top three in the league in this regard. One of the keys to this good performance is the safety net formed by Vivian, Yeray, Iñigo Martínez, and Vesga, who are vital to understanding the good work of the rojiblancos both in attack and defense. As in previous seasons, high pressing is a key element in Athletic games. Recovering near the rival area means fewer passes to generate a scoring chance, something they are especially grateful for because of the need to live at the high pace that they have been demonstrating. As various components of the squad have been well explained, pressing with one more man leaves the defense...
