The NBA's annual Christmas war will officially start tomorrow, which should be the focus of the fans' eagerly awaited battle, but because of the recent impact of the new crown epidemic, including the Lakers, Nets, Warriors and other popular teams can not meet with the full lineup, which is more or less regrettable for fans. And the current two major MVP hot candidates, Warriors number one star Stephen Curry, is likely to create a milestone in tomorrow's showdown with the Suns, anti-Nets core view Kevin Durant, but because of the recent trigger of the health and safety agreement, will be determined to be absent against the Lakers Christmas war, plus Irving also triggered the agreement before, so the Nets can only be led by Harden, who has just lifted the isolation.
In the last game against the Spurs, Steven Curry, who finally ushered in a recovery, hit 8 three-pointers in one fell swoop, which also made his career three-point shooting total to 2994, only 6 from the 3000-point mark, and if he can continue to maintain such a fiery feel, it is a good chance to usher in the milestone record of 3000+ in the next game against the Suns, a little earlier, according to the official MVP list, Curry has successfully returned to the top position, In the last issue, he was once given by Durant to end his four-game list, but the recent recovery of the state has finally returned to the biggest popular position in the MVP.
As of now, Curry can average 27.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, and the three-point shooting rate has returned to the threshold of 40%, reaching 40.2%, one of which scored with Trae Young and Alphabet Brother recently triggered health and safety agreements, and also rushed to the second place in the league, only 2 points away from the first Durant. The next Christmas war between the Warriors and the Suns will also determine whether the Warriors can regain their league leader throne, because the difference between the two sides is only 0.5 games, if the Warriors win, they will also surpass the Sun, but if the Sun wins, it will continue to consolidate their top position.
So this showdown with the Suns is also an important battle for Curry to consolidate his MVP rankings, Durant played the worst game of the season against the Warriors on November 17, when he started 32 minutes, hit only 6 goals in 19 shots, and scored only 19 points, which was also the first time he scored less than 20+ this season.
And this Christmas war with the Lakers can not yet play, Durant and Curry on the MVP competition situation, I am afraid it will quietly open the gap. As the top card of the Nets, Durant currently averaged 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, in the case of the previous single core team, Durant also helped the Nets achieve a wave of 4 consecutive wins, which seems to have stabilized the top position of the MVP, but unfortunately, the sky is not beautiful, Durant can only temporarily lie on the sofa at home to sleep.
To some extent, this time Durant can not play, in the MVP impression points are indeed behind Curry a lot, and the previous feel has been sluggish Curry, it finally ushered in a recovery, 3 consecutive games to cut 30+, the most recent is the second highest 46 points of the next season, but also officially declared war to Durant, MVP competition I have not given up! I still have a chance to win this award. So if tomorrow's Christmas war with the Suns, if Curry can let his three points break through the 3000+ threshold and take away a victory, in the MVP competition, Curry should temporarily lead Durant by a notch!
