On January 4, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Warriors defeated the Heat 115-108, ushered in two consecutive wins, and pulled away the second place in the West Sun 1 win, which was a temporary stabilization of their first ranking in the West. But while winning is a joy to behold, warriors star Stephen Curry's poor performance has also worried many fans.
Throughout the game, Curry did not feel good, played 32 minutes, 3 of 17 shots, including 1 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 9 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 block, without a doubt, this is one of Curry's worst performances this season, as the absolute core of the Warriors with unlimited firing rights, Curry is not without the ball, he just does not have good enough to score.
If it's just a game of underperformance, then maybe fans don't need to worry about Curry, but the problem is that Curry himself is not stable enough this season, and recently it is in a worrying state, according to statistics, in the last 15 games, Curry's average shooting percentage per game is only 37.9%, which is the worst record in the 15 consecutive games of his career - the previous record was 40.2%.
In fact, many fans should also find that although Curry is a big hit in the MVP this season, and the personal data is also good, and there are occasional stunning performances in a single game, but most of the time, the Warriors can win by the excellent performance of other players, as far as Curry's own state is concerned, it is very volatile, compared to the peak of several seasons, today he is indeed not stable enough. And looking back on his entire career, Curry actually has a certain "instability" factor, which is why many people think that there are still some gaps between him and players like James and Durant.
At the same time, from Curry's performance in this game, it can also be seen how good James really is. To know that James has scored at least 10 points in thousands of consecutive games is actually a very easy to ignore achievement, to know that even if a player plays 82 games in a season, it will take almost 13 seasons to complete this feat, and considering the rotation and absence due to injury, it basically takes more than 15 seasons of stable play to achieve this achievement.
So it's safe to say that scoring in double figures in 1,000 consecutive games is basically an achievement that has only one chance to impact in a career, and once it is cut off in the middle of a season, there is basically no chance, and the previous Durant and now Curry have lost the opportunity to achieve this achievement. It's not just them, but a lot of the superstars in NBA history, can't achieve this because it doesn't just require a player to have enough consistent scoring ability, but it also requires them to stay healthy enough, even a certain amount of luck, not to leave the game early due to injury or foul.
On the whole, 1,000 consecutive scoring doubles is almost one of the most difficult achievements in the NBA, and while we feel sorry for Curry, we have to lament James's strength again, and it should be noted that James's current record of consecutive scoring doubles continues, from this point of view, perhaps the current fans are lucky, because after James, it may be difficult to see the next superstar who can score doubles in 1,000 consecutive games.
