Recently, everyone has been expecting Curry to surpass Ray Allen to become the NBA's all-time three-point king, but Curry has repeatedly disappointed fans, and in the game that ended this morning, the Warriors lost 93-102 to the 76ers on the road, and Curry's performance was disastrous.
Playing 36 minutes, shooting 6 of 20, including 3 of 14 three-pointers, only 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Curry shot only 30% from the field and only 21.4% from three-point range in this game, which is unacceptable to Curry.
In the past 6 games, Curry's shooting feel has been very bad, shooting only 29% of the two-point range of 11 out of 38 from 38, and only 35% of the three-point shooting rate from 86 three-pointers.
NBA commentator Perkins saw Curry's poor performance and said: "Curry is like having Game Seven syndrome, whenever everyone expects a big moment to come, he can't show the corresponding strength." ”
All along, Curry's performance in the seventh game of the playoffs has been questioned by many people, the seventh game is the most important game in the series, fans hope that Curry can play a very good performance, but sometimes Curry has performed poorly, disappointing, Perkins used the term "seventh game syndrome" to imply that Curry always drops the chain when everyone expects it, just as everyone is now expecting him to break Ray Allen's three-point record, but he has disappointed the fans one after another.
In fact, "Game Seven Syndrome" is Perkins's own invention of the word, Curry in the seventh game of the playoffs is also his stereotype, Curry career so far 4 playoffs G7, averaging 28.3 points, 6 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2 steals per game, the true shooting rate of 62.2%, the three basic shooting rates are 44%, 43.8% and 100%, although the 44% shooting rate is lower than his usual performance, his scoring, rebounding, assists, three-point shooting rate is very high, The free throw shooting rate is even more than 100 shots, which is not only not bad, but also very good.
Everyone is very harsh on the performance of the star, Curry only played poorly in the seventh game of a playoff, which has been remembered by some people, and the seventh game he played well has been selectively forgotten, and he has been labeled as "seventh game syndrome", implying that he always drops the chain at key moments, which is not the case.
Curry's recent poor shooting feel has a lot to do with his change of mentality, when his three-point shooting number is getting closer and closer to Ray Allen's shooting number, he wants to surpass Ray Allen as soon as possible, there is an old saying called "want to be fast but not reached", his mentality changed after the impact of his shooting feel, resulting in the time of transcendence has been delayed.
In addition, recently the Warriors' opponents have used the defensive intensity of the playoffs and even the Finals to limit Curry. As Embiid said, before the game he told his teammates that they must defend Curry, can not let the 76ers become curry's background board to surpass Ray Allen, the 76ers have the top defender Sebel, he hated Curry twice today, becoming the only defender to cap Curry twice in a single game to remove Curry's three-point shots, his excellent single defense ability, and teammates' pocket clips, making Curry play very badly.
Many teams also have this mentality - crazy to pack Curry, do not want to be Curry's background board to surpass Ray Allen, do not want to appear in Curry's collection again and again. Under the influence of this mentality, their defensive intensity against Curry is Finals level, so Curry has not played well recently.
Because Curry's athleticism and physical talent are more general, ultra-high defensive intensity can play a good role in limiting, Curry's scoring efficiency will be greatly reduced, the performance will be good and bad, under this high-intensity defense, Curry may play very well if he feels bursting, but it may also play very poorly, so bad that it is very impressive, his physical condition is destined to his lower limit is not low, which is why he cannot get FMVP.
Every year in the finals, the opponent will be strictly guarded against Curry, Curry's performance is good and bad, although the performance of good games is more than the performance of bad games, everyone will feel that the star performance is normal, bad performance is not capable, the judges in the FMVP voting will tend to vote for players who have been stable in the performance, such as the 2017 and 2018 finals, Curry's performance is very good, but Curry has a particularly bad performance in the finals of these two years, and Durant has been stable output, None of his games were played badly, and his impressions were higher than Curry's, so he won the FMVP without suspense in both years.
Among the best stars in the game, Curry's static talent and dynamic talent are the worst, and when he first entered the league, no one expected that he would one day become the first unanimous MVP winner in NBA history.
