Curry was sluggish in the Warriors' game against the Heat on Jan. 4, scoring just nine points on 3-of-17 shooting. His personal record of scoring doubles in 97 consecutive games has been interrupted. I thought Curry would bottom out in today's game against the Lone Rangers, but Curry once again handed over a poor answer of 5-of-24 shooting, 9-of-3 and only 14 points. That set an embarrassing record for him: Curry became the only player this season to shoot 24+ but hit the iron 19 times. Such data is undoubtedly difficult for fans to accept, and I believe that Curry himself is certainly not satisfied with his performance.
The two games totaled 41 shots and 33 iron, including only 2 of 19 three-pointers, what happened to Curry? In a post-game interview against the Lone Rangers today, Warriors coach Kerr said curry suffered a not-so-light quadriceps contusion, and whether he will play next is still in doubt, and he believes that Curry will soon be out of the current predicament. His teammate Green also said it wasn't a big deal and he wasn't worried about Curry's form at all. Indeed, when a player comes out with an injury, you can't expect him to play 100% of the performance, Curry is injured and still standing on the court is enough to prove his love of basketball, I believe that healthy him will be a strong contender for this season's MVP.
As a leading player, Curry has attracted thousands of fans with accurate and productive three-pointers. In a Dec. 15 away game against the Knicks, Curry broke the three-point record held by Ray Allen, who hit 2,974 three-pointers in just 780 games, surpassing Ray Allen's official crown as the all-time three-pointer king. In the madison Square Garden, the mecca of basketball, even countless away fans stood up and cheered him, which showed that the fans loved him.
Curry's three points are not only prolific, but also accurate. Curry shot 43 percent from three points in the regular season, and by the playoffs, that number is still 40 percent. So far this season, Curry has been the team's unyielding first firing point, still averaging 26.8 points plus 6.1 assists per game, including the fourth in the league. It's hard to imagine that in the Warriors, who are short of major generals, in the face of countless bags and tight defenses, as long as they grasp a little gap, Curry can throw the ball in. And Curry has proven himself, three championship rings, two regular season MVPs (including one all-time all-time MVP), two scoring kings, three-point kings in history... So despite Curry's recent sluggish performance, we still have reason to believe that Curry will soon be able to adjust to his form and return to his strong performance.
Curry is not in good shape, but fortunately, the Warriors' current record is still safe. Even if Curry is in the doldrums, a group of role players who have played well can still beat strong teams like the Heat, and they are still ranked first in the league with 29 wins and 8 losses.
And what's exciting is that Thompson's comeback is imminent, so that the Warriors' roster will be extremely luxurious, not only with the star players of Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, and Green, but also excellent role players such as Poole and Iguodala, such a Warriors team has both offense and defense, which will make any team in the league feel afraid. The current Warriors are good enough, and when Thompson, who can attack and defend, returns to the team, I believe that the Warriors can be improved by another level. I believe that healthy people will definitely be able to show their fists on the playoff stage, even break into the finals, and maybe win a championship again, looking forward to their performance.
