On January 7, Beijing time, the Warriors challenged the Pelicans back-to-back, and Curry hung up the free card due to quadriceps contusion. Fortunately, coach Kerr revealed that Meng Shen's injury is not serious, and he is expected to return on Sunday.
As the Warriors Pelicans played, the broadcaster listed a list of players who had delivered at least 35 points, 10 boards and seven three-pointers in a single game this season, and could see that there were only four players in total, namely Curry, Valanciunas, Kevin Loew and LeBron James. Curry is the only player in the backcourt.
In his second game of the season against the Clippers, Curry scored 45 points and 10 boards on 8-of-13-of-25 shooting, but after that game, Moe Shen had not yet rebounded and double-doubled. In the past two games, Curry's three-point total of 2 of 19 urgently needs adjustment.
Valanciunas once led the league in three-point shooting, and in the previous game against the Clippers, Varan sent 39 points and 15 boards on 7 of 14 three-pointers on 25 shooting, and his three-point shooting rate is still as high as 43% so far this season.
Luck's recent performances have seen the shadow of his peak, shooting 31 three-pointers in the last six games and averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game this season with a 42.7% shooting rate. In the previous game against the Hawks, Eros scored 35 points and 11 boards on 10-of-14 three-pointers, 7 free throws, 8-of-10.
James, who has also played at the MVP level recently, averaged a career-high 3 three-pointers per game this season, scoring 37 points and 13 boards on 8-of-13 three-pointers of 25 in the recent loss to the Grizzlies.
