First, he was too obsessed with three-point shooting, Curry was 4 of 12 three-pointers in the game, did not reach 40% shooting, and there were four turnovers. Curry is a big threat on the no-ball end, and if you want to get back to the three-pointer, you can first use the no-ball running breakthrough to create offensive opportunities, create three-point shooting space, and reduce the number of unnecessary shots.
