The Warriors lost to the Pelicans, it is indeed a big upset game, because the Pelicans are the Fish belly team in the West, but Curry did not play in this game, watching the Warriors suffer two consecutive losses for the first time this season, maybe Curry playing is not much meaningful, and now Curry should adjust his competitive state, otherwise Curry's impact MVP is hanging this season!
Curry was once an all-vote MVP winner, and this season's MVP is the icing on the cake for Curry, because Curry needs FMVP to enrich his career achievements, but how can Curry not want the same Segah's feat of crowning MVP+ FMVP? However, in the latest issue of the official MVP list, Curry's ranking was overtaken by Durant, the reason is too simple, Curry is difficult to break the tight defensive performance. Curry in his past 5 games, the shooting rate is indeed heart-wrenching, 37%, 37.5%, 44.4%, 17.6%, 20.8%, three-point shooting rate is also bad and thorough, two consecutive games appear three-point 10 and 9 1, Curry's low feel stems from the difficulty of breaking the dilemma of pressing defense.
According to statistics, last season Curry was crowned the leading scorer, and this season's curry scoring data is not good when it is forced by the opponent to defend, and curry's shooting rate is very different. Last season Curry still shot 54.5 percent from the field and 60.6 percent from the field under pressure defense; this season Curry's shooting percentage slipped to 37.1 percent and an effective shooting percentage of 45.7 percent under pressure defense. Tight defense refers to the defender's distance of 0-60cm, it seems that Curry did not successfully break the defense against the tight defense, which became a minus point for Curry to impact the MVP this season.
In addition, the downward decline of the tight defense is obvious, and Curry has also slipped to a certain extent in the case of empty positions and large vacancies. Curry did have a good performance at the beginning of the season, the problem is that as the season progresses, Curry also suffers from a very targeted defense, if Curry can't break the defense, then Curry wants to compete with Durant for the MVP of this season.
The same is to break the tight defense, Curry's shooting rate decline and Durant's gap is too large, this season so far Durant averaged 30 points per game, shooting 51.8%, even in the face of tight defense, Durant is as calm as to eat the opponent. Durant has a strong basketball talent, the role of pressing defense on Durant will not be very large, may be able to limit Durant, but durant death comes, the same can hang the opponent, I believe this Terren lu has tens of thousands of answers in his heart, once Durant and Curry joined forces against James in the 10s, Terrant Lu used a bag clip for Durant, and did not use a bag clip for Curry, you know that Durant's offensive means and methods are stronger than Curry, and their gap is indeed too big.
If it were not for Durant joining the Warriors, I believe that in the riding war from 2016 to 2018, the Cavaliers may not have lost so badly, and even the Cavaliers may continue to win the championship. Durant is a standard superstar, Curry can create a three-point shot for himself, but in the face of tight defense and bag clamps, Curry's performance is not as stable as Durant and James. Of course, if Curry can break the shooting rate of the tight defense last season, then this season's MVP Curry still has a chance to compete, and the Warriors' championship coefficient will also rise.
