On January 7, Beijing time, according to US media statistics, Golden State Warriors star Steven Curry's shooting rate data last season and this season when facing different defensive intensities, it can be seen that there are many data have shown a significant decline. The specifics are as follows:
Since the beginning of this season, Curry has shot 37.1% and 45.7% effectively when defending (defenders are 0-60 cm away); last season, Curry shot 54.5% from the field and 60.6% from the field.
Curry's shooting percentage was 46.6% and his effective shooting rate was 55.2% when he was defending himself (60cm-1.2m); last season, Curry shot 48.3% and 55.4% effectively.
Curry shot 37.0 percent and 50.4 percent effectively against the open position (1.2m-1.8m); last season, Curry shot 46.8 percent and 63.4 percent from the field.
When Curry was in the big slot (more than 1.8 meters), his shooting percentage was 43.7% and his effective shooting rate was 63.4%. Last season, Curry shot 48.9 percent from the field and 69.6 percent from effective range.
Therefore, it can be seen from these data that Curry has declined significantly in the situation of tight pressure and vacancies since this season, and the large vacancies have also declined to a certain extent, but the gap between close defense is not large.
Curry has shot more three-pointers this season than he has made in previous seasons, yet Curry's form has fluctuated. In the past two games, Curry shot just 8 of 41 from the field, shooting less than 20 percent from the field and 2-of-19 from three-point range, setting a record for the worst shooting percentage in two consecutive games of his career (including the playoffs).
However, Curry has now become the NBA's first 3,000 three-pointer, and he has surpassed Ray Allen to become the first person in the NBA's all-time three-point list.
