In the home game against the Grizzlies, the Warriors core Curry performed well, he played 37 minutes, 13 of 22 shots, shot 8 three-pointers on the outside, and personally got 46 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, including in the final quarter, he had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 5-of-9 shooting. When the team was behind, he played an extremely good individual performance, scoring in succession at key moments. In the end, under Curry's leadership, the team successfully won the game. When Curry stood on the free throw line at the key moment of the final quarter, the fans also shouted the cheers of the MVP, and for the fans, they were also satisfied with Curry's performance in this game.
This game is not easy for the Warriors, because the team has a total of three main players who cannot play, namely Wiggins, Poole and Damien Lee, all of whom are the team's main rotation players this season and have a great help to the team, and the absence of these three main players has a great impact on the strength and depth of the Warriors' lineup.
But fortunately, Curry did not disappoint the team in this game, he played MVP level performance, in the first half, Curry has scored 16 points, personal shooting efficiency is very high. In the third quarter, Curry took over the team's offense, scoring 15 points on 4-of-6 shooting in the quarter, and in the final quarter, Curry scored 15 points again. That is to say, throughout the second half, Curry scored 30 points, and he scored 46 points in the whole game, which was very shiny. In this game, the Warriors were able to successfully beat the Grizzlies with an incomplete lineup, and Curry's performance was crucial.
In fact, in this game, the Grizzlies have thought of a lot of ways to limit Curry, such as when Curry dribbles through the half, the Grizzlies will adopt a defensive strategy of bag clamping, so that they cannot get the shooting space, and also disrupt his dribbling rhythm.
However, this defensive strategy did not work, Curry's shooting feel in this game was too good, after being wrapped, he would pass the ball to his teammates to overdo, and then use the cover of his teammates to get shooting opportunities on the outside. Curry's eight three-pointers in this game were very difficult, and many of them were ultra-far three-pointers. The Grizzlies have done a better job of defending this campaign, but they just can't limit Curry, and the defensive strategy of wrapping up in the half has no effect on Curry.
In fact, in the past period of time, Curry's shooting feel is not ideal, his shooting rate on the outside has been less than 40% in 6 consecutive games, and the personal offensive efficiency is not high. However, in this game, when many of the team's main players were absent, he successfully stepped forward and found his shooting feel with a 46-point performance, and took on the responsibility of team leader well in the game, and his personal performance was extremely brilliant.
It is worth mentioning that after shooting 8 three-pointers in this game, Curry's current three-point shooting has reached 2994, which is only 6 points away from 3000 three-pointers. In Curry's current form, it is likely that he will shoot the 3,000th career three-pointer in the next game. This will be the first player in NBA history to do just that, and Curry has proven himself to be the greatest three-point shooter in league history with his gorgeous three-pointer performance.
