A game that ended earlier, the Golden State Warriors defeated the defending champion Bucks 99-118, in the last 5 games, they only won 1 victory, and this focus battle between Mars hitting the earth, did not think but because of the absence of Dream Green, presented a one-sided situation, in the first quarter the Warriors dug a 16-point pit for themselves, and at the end of the first half they were once behind as many as 39 points, even if they woke up in the second half to start chasing points, but it was still to no avail, In the end, the Warriors lost 99-118 by 19 points, and suffered another two-game losing streak this season.
Curry started the game for 29 minutes, only 4 of 11 shots, only 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, -25 plus or minus is also the worst one on the team, the Warriors' fiasco, the depressed Curry is absolutely responsible. In the last 5 games, Curry's state has indeed declined sharply, averaging only 18 points per game, shooting as low as 31.9%, and the best three-point shooting rate has plummeted to 22.2%, to know that in each game he has to shoot 9 times, in exchange for such a dismal accuracy, it is really regrettable.
It is precisely because of Curry's recent downturn, coupled with the Warriors' continuous defeats, that Curry's probability of winning the MVP has slipped to the fourth place, only 7.5%, far lower than Durant (13.3%), Jokic (19.6%), and 20.6 percentage points worse than the first alphabet brother (28.1%). To know that not long ago Curry has been dominating the top position of the MVP probability list, but the successive downturns not only let him fall out of the top of the list, but even the top three can not enter, Curry wants to get the third MVP trophy of his career this season, the probability is hopeless.
In fact, in the first two months of the season, Curry's state has been very stable, while maintaining a stable output of scoring, the three-point shot has also been maintained at about 40% of the accuracy, the result is that because it is getting closer and closer to ray Allen's historical three-point shooting record, curry's psychological pressure is also very large, but also let him struggle with outside projection, but after the successful crowning of the three-point king, Curry's three-point shot is still not improving, and even the two-point shot has dropped sharply. It's really not like the Curry we were familiar with before. After entering 2022, Curry's three-point shooting against the Jazz on January 2 is more normal (6 of 12), the shooting rate of the remaining 5 games has not exceeded 40%, and even two consecutive games have N-in-1 situation, I believe this is definitely not his psychological problem, but the entire physical state has been greatly affected.
As of now, Curry's average data per game has slipped to 26.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists, the three shooting rates are only 42%, 38.4% and 91.8%, not counting the 19-20 season because of injuries only played 5 games on the season reimbursement, shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate are career minimums, as the absolute core of the current Warriors, Curry is also a barometer of the team's victory and defeat, but where his offense can not find the state, the probability of the team wanting to win will be greatly reduced, This is also the main reason why the team lost 4 of these games in Curry's downturn.
Even if you don't count Jokic, who is not ideal now, Curry wants to catch up with Durant and Alphabet Brother, the two MVP big hits, it is not realistic, first of all, the data statistics of the two are placed there, and the second is to lead the team to sit in the top three in the East, and Curry's successive chain drops, plus has let the Warriors away from the Eastern Dragon Throne, the probability will gradually drift away from the MVP awards this season!
