This season has undoubtedly been a successful season for the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors, who failed to make it to the playoffs last season, have played a very dazzling record this season, and as of now, the Warriors continue to rank first in the league with a record of 29 wins and 28 losses. You should know that this is still the Warriors in the absence of the team's second boss Klay Thompson, the reason why the team can achieve such excellent results, in addition to the play of Players such as Poole, Wiggins, Curry's play is even more great.
So far this season, Curry has averaged 26.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and Curry, who has excellent personal data and team records, is regarded as the biggest favorite of MVP this season. Not long ago, Curry's total number of three-pointers in the regular season surpassed Ray Allen's all-time top and became a good story in the NBA, after which Curry took advantage of the chase, making his total number of three-pointers exceed 3,000.
Two days ago, Warriors coach Steve Kerr revealed in an interview that Thompson is likely to make a comeback in the Warriors' game against the Cavaliers on January 10. Just when fans are immersed in the joy of Thompson's imminent comeback, the Warriors have come out with bad news, that is, Curry's recent state is very depressed. In the last five games, it can be said that one game is not as good as one. In the last Game of the Warriors against the Heat, Curry only made 3 of 17 shots in the game, and only 1 of 10 shots outside the three-point line, only 9 points, fortunately, he still had 3 points and 10 assists in the account, and the Warriors finally crossed the risk. In the game between the Warriors and the Lone Rangers on January 6, Curry still failed to find his touch, shooting 5 of 24 from the field, 1 of 9 from three-point range, and only 14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and the Warriors eventually lost to their opponents. Although Curry still averages 21.5 points per game in his last five games, his shooting percentage is really a bit hot. According to statistics, Curry has only shot 31.4% from the field in the last five games and only 29.5% from three-point range.
Speaking about his recent continued slump, Curry said: "I have been training very consistent this year, and the performance at this stage has not reached my standards, so you can only stick to it, and I never overreact on nights when I feel bad, it's the same process." You just have to understand the team's goals and your own goals, and understand that the feel will always come. It's hard to remind yourself of a game like tonight because the opponents are all in shape. ”
All coaches in the NBA know that Curry's shooting is accurate, so they often send multiple defenders to chase and block Curry, so that Curry can't have a comfortable shooting environment, so that his shooting rate will decline, which can also be confirmed by Curry's playoffs in the past. Curry's current slump also worries about the Warriors' prospects. After all, the Warriors' next game will be more difficult, and Curry's defensive pressure will also increase. Although Thompson is about to return, he has been away from the field for more than two years, coupled with two major injuries to the Achilles tendon and cruciate ligament tear, and his state after his comeback is debatable.
