On January 12, Beijing time, the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors 116-108 to win 10 consecutive games. In this battle, Ja Morant vs Stephen Curry's super control duel, Morant won the game and won the data, Morant completed the 2+1 directly ended the game with a strong breakthrough of 28.6 seconds before the final, and the major media praised Morant as a supernova after the game, while Stephen swallowed the tragic night.
Curry surpassed Jamal Crawford to move up to 55th all-time, taking his ninth career three-pointer, 8-of-21 in the game, 2-of-9 three-pointers, 27 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, shooting 38.1% from the field and 22.2% from three-point range. 1 of 6 in the final quarter didn't help the team at all. Morant was 11-of-23 and had 29 points, eight assists, five rebounds and two blocks.
Curry is 2-1 win against the Grizzlies this season, the previous two games were 36+8+7, one 46+4+4, but this game Curry's efficiency value plummeted, and it feels like the Grizzlies have studied Curry's path thoroughly. Of course, this is not a downturn in Curry, and the recent performances have been poor.
5-of-24 against the Lone Rangers, 1 of 9 from three-point range; 3-of-17 against the Nuggets, 10-of-10 from three-point range; 10-of-21 against the Cavaliers, 4-of-11 from three-point range; 8-of-21 against the Grizzlies, 26-of-83 from three-point range, 8-of-29 from three-point range, shooting 31.3 percent from the field and 27.5 percent from three-point range, this performance can be said to be surprising, last season was still the highest scorer, and at the beginning of this season he was a super efficient scorer, why did the performance continue to decline?
After entering December, Curry's performance went straight down, 7 of 12 of 22 + 11 three-pointers in the last game in November, but on December 1st against the Suns, 4 of 21, 3 of 3 from three-pointers, Curry's performance after this game was "difficult to say", only 4 games of 30+ in 17 games, while curry had 8 games of 30+ in the previous 19 games, Curry's three-point shooting rate remained above 42% before December, and now Curry's three-point shooting rate is only 38.2%.
Curry is an All-Star ticket king and a superstar in the top five of the MVP list, but his performance is becoming more and more unstable, which has a great impact on his status as a ticket king + MVP top five. I hope Curry will return to supernatural status as soon as possible.
