The NBA All-Star First Round voting results were released, and Warriors star Curry pushed James and Durant to rank first. But compared to the fiery state at the beginning of the season, Curry's recent performance is really bad.
In the last 16 games, Curry has shot just 36.7 percent of the way, the 16 lowest in his career, the data shows. What made Curry's state obsessed slip?
There are three reasons for this. The first is the decline in physical condition. Curry is 34 years old with two months to go, and this season is the 13th season of his career, and he is already a veteran. Aging of the body does not affect the feel, but it will affect Curry's freedom speed and upper limb strength.
Second, at the age of 34, Curry has averaged 34.7 minutes per game this season, the highest since Cole took charge in 15 seasons. Under the double pressure, Curry's decline in status is by no means new.
The third is Curry's own mentality. From the moment he was about to reach the first three-point record in history, Curry began to increase his shots, resulting in more and more iron, more and more iron, creating a vicious circle.
In the future, the Warriors need to continue to reduce the burden on Curry, take appropriate rotations, and reduce playing time in order to retain physical strength for the playoffs and fully impact the championship.
