There has been an uproar in the NBA with his selection Jordan Poole to take a 3-pointer from… ten yards with the goal of sending the Warriors’ game against the Lakers into overtime, but misses miserably. The champions lost Game 1 to Lakers in Western Conference semifinals (112-117) and Steph Curry’s plan to agonize over his teammate’s pick was mixed.
He himself, however, with a clearer mind after the end of the match raised a shield of protection to his young teammate. “He had a free kick and was in rhythm. Seeing how they marked us on that particular possession, with a two-man trap on me, Draymond gave him the ball and took the shot. I’m sure Jordan himself felt good about taking that shot. We don’t regret a thing. It’s a hit or miss situation and I have confidence in him and his ability to score“, said the 35-year-old ace.
Steve Kerr’s support for Poole is similar. “I think he did a good job. We had set up in the timeout to double team Steph, he did a good job of passing the ball and Jordan was free. He took a shot that he has shown he can put“, emphasized the coach of the Warriors.
