On December 25, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season ushered in a rest day before the year-end war. According to the schedule, tomorrow the Warriors will challenge the Suns on the road, which is also the highlight of this year's NBA year-end battle. In the current NBA rankings, the Suns are ranked first in the league with 26 wins and 5 losses, and the Warriors are ranked second in the league with 26 wins and 6 losses, and the two teams are far ahead of other teams.
However, for the upcoming year-end war, there is a star who is very nervous, he is the Warriors' star Curry. As we all know, Curry's performance in the year-end war has always been unsatisfactory. In an interview, Curry confessed: "I like year-end battles because it means you're one of the most popular teams, only 10 teams can be in year-end battles. But personally, I don't like the year-end war because I didn't play well in the year-end war, and I don't know why, but I always struggle with the year-end war, and I try to correct that on Sunday. ”
In fact, what Curry said is true. According to statistics, Curry has participated in a total of 8 year-end battles so far in his career, but he can only average 13.1 points per game, which is the lowest average score per game in his career (at least 5 games in a single day). In addition to this day, Curry averaged only 16.0 points per game in five games on November 21, ranking second in his career. It is worth mentioning that in the year-end game of last year's loss to the Bucks, Curry scored 19 points, which is the highest single-game score of all the year-end battles he has participated in in his career.
However, Curry has been in very good shape recently. He overtook Ray Allen last week to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer, scoring 46 points in a single game in yesterday's win over the Grizzlies when Curry hit eight three-pointers in a single game. In the latest MVP list officially released by the NBA, Curry surpassed Durant again to reach the top again.
In the first two meetings of the season, the Warriors and Suns each finished with 1-1 record. Considering that the two teams are only half a win away, if Curry can lead the Warriors to victory, the team will surpass the Suns and return to the top of the NBA table.
