Before the Warriors blew a three-point whirlwind in the league, the league was basically chiseled by the center in the box, playing a traditional position war, so in this case, the player's physical collision is also very frequent, rarely in the playoffs and even the Finals such as 110, 120 such high scores, but because of the birth of Curry, a phenomenon-level shooter, the NBA has also begun to pay more and more attention to the projection of three-pointers in these 5 or 6 years, even the spurs, jazz and other traditional teams, They all didn't hesitate to shoot outside the three-point line.
But it is undeniable that the Warriors have indeed become the absolute hegemony of the league in the past few seasons with their vigorous offense and high-quality defense, and the accurate projection of the Splash Brothers on the outside line has really infected a number of players in the league to start paying attention to three-pointers, such as Bertans, Duncan Robinson, Joe Harris, these shooters, all of whom have earned tens of millions of annual salaries with their own high-quality shots. As a leader in leading this cross-era trend, Curry has also become one of the league's signature stars.
According to relevant statistics, the 10 most watched games in the NBA this season, the Warriors occupied a total of 8 games, the opening game "Lake Warriors" won the first place with a rating of 3.39 million, and the last Warriors vs. Knicks "Curry Record-Breaking Night" ranked fourth in the top 10 ratings games this season with a rating of 2.4 million, and as the league's current trend has gradually been replaced by such a rapid change of offense, everyone has also subtly accepted such a change. As the Warriors' home star, Curry seems to have become the guarantee of NBA ratings this season.
The NBA has never lacked stars, but a representative supergiant like Curry has really brought great benefits to the league, and even to some extent, he has become the savior of the NBA. In fact, after Kobe Bryant retired, the NBA's attention and ratings have declined to a certain extent, players rely more on fouls to beat scores, more and more body hair whistles have also seriously affected the fluency of the game, a game that could have ended in about 2 hours, but it was dragged to 2 and a half by the whistle of the field, or even 3 hours.
But Curry's appearance, with three-pointers, broke the previous "1-point game" dominated by free throws, before that, no player in the league would use three-pointers as their conventional weapon, as strong as Ray Allen's legendary shooter, who averaged 5.7 three-point shots per game in his career, but only accounted for 35% of the total 14.6 shots. But Curry is not the same, each game he can make his total number of shots are all three-point shots, when he uses a precise outside projection for the Warriors to win three championships, its influence has also penetrated into the entire world basketball circle, you can see that now these young players, in the game will imitate Curry like the LOGO shoot, these players with mediocre physical fitness, will be Curry as an absolute idol, hoping to use their own accurate projection, shine on the basketball court.
If the NBA was a giant-dominated stage before, then the emergence of Curry has also made more and more short guards begin to feel that they also have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the NBA, accustomed to the big center in the box, fans are also time to accept the reality that three-point shooting has become the mainstream trend in the league today.
