It was another game of 5-of-18 shooting, 3-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, offering 19 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists while Curry had 5 turnovers and 5 fouls. Yes, the Warriors won the game, or rely on the Splash Brothers to win together, Curry even took over the game at one point in the last quarter, but overall, the Warriors can actually play less glued, as long as Curry feels a little better, maybe the third quarter of the game can be directly ended. But this wave of Curry feels very general, the game is very glued, although it is the Warriors to win, but Curry still played three words: uncomfortable!
At the beginning of the season, Curry once played more than last season, and the field was thirty points + 5 points + 50% shooting rate, at that time Curry seemed to continue the previous hot state. But as he played, Curry began to play iron, one in a row, two, three... After many games of playing iron, his overall efficiency came down. After entering January, Curry's three-point shooting rate and shooting percentage were less than 40%, and even Curry's career passing line could not be reached. It's hard to say why Curry at this stage couldn't score.
To say that the muscle gain, it is true that Curry is gaining weight, the impact is definitely there, but not so big, after all, at the beginning of the season, Curry's play is still the level of MVP, and it cannot be said that the impact of muscle gain is somewhat slow. What is the only thing that can be explained? It's this season that Curry doesn't have to "help" with his teammates! "Before this season, Curry's stature was actually very thin, and then there was a problem, that is, Curry would be targeted by the defensive end. The opposite is like misplaced roll call, is like to play Curry this point, many times Curry needs the help of teammates to defend, when the block and dismantling of defense to squeeze over, to make up for the weakness of Curry's defense.
But this season Curry seems to want to improve his defensive ability, so the increase in muscle has become a major factor in Curry's defensive improvement. Now Curry's single defense basically does not need the help of teammates, in the pure guard line Curry's defense is at the top, to some extent, Curry has raised his defense above the warriors' average line this season, and his personal defensive efficiency is about twenty in the league (with team blessing). But the problem also comes, Curry's defense has become, which requires Curry to put a lot of energy into defense. Coupled with Curry being the warriors' offensive core, the pressure came at once.
Defensively, Curry is obviously improving his confrontation ability and enhancing his single defense ability, but at the same time, Curry's consumption will increase, and as the season goes on for a long time, Curry's ups and downs will become very large. And after the weight gain, Curry's fast pace and flexible get rid of it are gone, and now in addition to retreat and slow lateral movement, it is difficult to see Curry's fancy dribbling to get rid of the opponent. What is the situation now? As long as Curry's three points are not separated, then Curry may have to play a whole game of iron. Curry is also clearly aware of this problem, and recently began to reduce his three-point shots, more to shoot mid-range, to make throws, the effect is there, but still not as influential as his three-point shots.
When will that god-bound Curry return? Most likely, it is necessary to wait until after the All-Star Game, when Curry has a few days of rest, there is a period of buffer period, and when Curry spends his fatigue period, the three-point feeling is still possible to find this thing. Therefore, don't worry too much about the state of Curry, sooner or later you can find the state!
