Not long ago, a reporter asked Curry: "You showed a cruel side in the game, and you can see your firm determination." Did someone stir up your fighting spirit? What happened during the game? Because, on the field, you show that kind of tenacity, not the usual way of laughing and giggling. "
Curry responded: "That's when I thought about getting the best defensive player this season, it was that kind of psychology. After saying this, Curry himself couldn't help but laugh, and the two interviewers laughed at the side.
Curry isn't just talking.
According to statistics, at present, there are 187 players in the league who defend opponents with at least 200 shots, and of these 187 players, Sebel does the best job of limiting the opponent's shooting rate, and under his defense, the opponent's shooting rate is reduced by as much as 8.6%. Curry came in fourth.
The details are as follows:
1. Sable 8.6%; 2, Portis 8.2%; 3, Derek Rose 7.5%; 4, Curry 7.3%; 5, Gobert 7.2%; 6, Avdia 6.9%; 7, Robert Williams 6.5%; 8, Adebayor 6.5%; 9, Ayton 5.8%; 10, Kennard 5.7%.
It is worth mentioning that under Curry's defense, the opponent's shooting rate is reduced by 7.3%, which is even higher than Gobert's 7.2%. And Gobert is second on the latest DPOY list.
Curry said it must be a joke to want to take a DPOY, but it's true to improve the defense.
