Steven Curry, who has shot far below the season average on the outside, seems to have finally found his hot hand this week, after scoring 30 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the game against the Kings on December 21, Curry in the latest "matchup" with the Grizzlies (last season's playoff was lost to the Grizzlies, resulting in the Warriors not making it to the playoffs), but also shot 8 of 14 from outside the three-point line, scoring the season's second-high 46 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
After two games, Curry averaged 38 points per game, shooting 53.1%, 46.2% and 92.3% respectively, successfully joining the 180 clubs and helping the team win two consecutive games. Tomorrow's Christmas battle and the Suns' focus showdown will also determine whether Curry can win the 19th career best of the week, if he can maintain a steady output and help the Warriors win, then the week's best of the week is basically not running.
At present, the obstacle to whether he can win the best of the week is the Pelicans' home star Ingram. In this week's 2 games, Ingram scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, also helped the Pelicans to achieve a wave of two consecutive wins, the day after tomorrow against the weak team Thunder, it is not surprising that Ingram should still be a big kill, and is likely to help the Pelicans to achieve a wave of 5 consecutive wins, if Ingram plays well, plus the Pelicans win, then the weekly best that should belong to Curry may be loved by Ingram!
Tomorrow and the Suns Christmas war, for the Warriors and Curry, will be a great test, the Warriors side not only face Wiggins, Poole, Moody trigger health and safety agreements as a wall view, even assistant coach Mike Brown is unfortunately recruited to be isolated, the lack of major generals, there is and can only rely on Curry, a backcourt core, but the Suns, as the only clear stream team in the league and the Jazz that has not triggered the agreement, will play with a complete set of lineups, and this game is sitting on the home advantage, It can be seen that this western leader does not want to give up his top position. As of now, the Warriors temporarily ranked second in the West with a record of 26 wins and 6 losses, this season they have played two games with the Suns, achieved a 1-1 result, and Curry's performance in these two games is not ideal, the first game 21 shots 4, only to get the lowest 12 points of the season, the second game of 20 shots also only hit 8 goals, only 23 points into the account.
The bitter lord of the battle against the Suns is not in good shape, and this time he also encountered two right-hand men who have been absent one after another, and Curry really needs to overcome this severe test and let himself bottom out. For the Warriors, their goal this season is to return to the Finals, and even win the championship again, and the Sun, as the current Leader of the West, will also be a potential opponent in their Western Conference Finals, no matter what, as long as they enter the playoffs, the two teams are likely to usher in a head-to-head confrontation, if they can not play a strong performance in the regular season 3 times in a row, to some extent, for Curry and the Warriors, it will be a "shadow" existence.
So this Christmas war, Curry must get himself out of the double trouble, career has participated in a total of 8 Christmas wars Curry, averaging only 13.1 points per game, three-point shooting rate as low as 20%, tomorrow he will use a performance to win for himself to prove, it is indeed worth looking forward to!
