confidence in what we were trying to do and um I was just really present in the moment and enjoying myself we always say you do what the game calls for and what you kind of feel in the flow like the first four games I had decent looks um weren’t falling but they were in the rhythm of the offense for the most part um coach reminded me at a certain point early like the game will come to you if you allow it and even if I was missing shots like just stay engaged and that kind of fed into being locked in for
these last two games cuz the game called for me to you know get shots up and and knock them down Seria game just kind of keep us a float until we could get over the hump and then tonight obviously to close it down but you just stay confident stay present and don’t get rattled by the moment and we’ve all been in those type of scenarios before where you uh you kind of just have to meet the moment by again just staying confident looking for your shot whatever it is and there’s a lot of faith just living and dying with you
know shots that you think you should take them in an incredible run at the Paris Olympics we’ve had standout players from the United States But ultimately Steph Curry will be the man of the moment Steph earned this the last few weeks um you know the last couple weeks he he every day the work ethic and and I tell people all the time when Kevin was with our team my favorite part of practice with the Warriors was after practice watching these two work and it’s it’s not an accident that they’re able to do what they do down the stretch
