Earlier, the NBA officially announced the latest MVP list, last season's MVP winner Jokic has risen to the first place, the second place is the Bucks star Alphabet Brother, while Embiid, Durant respectively came to the third and fourth places, the fifth place is the Suns main control Paul, while Curry has fallen out of the top five, only in sixth place. You should know that a month ago, Curry once sat at the top of the MVP rankings, since December 25, he pushed from the first to the second, and then to the fifth, and last week fell to the sixth, and this week continued to "sit firmly" in his sixth position.
The Warriors' "high open low walk" is actually a microcosm of Curry's season, the beginning of the season the Warriors suddenly emerged, once sat on the throne of the first place in the league, but after entering December, the team swallowed defeats one after another because of Curry's sluggish feel, and after entering January, it swallowed two consecutive losses many times, as of now, their record is 32 wins and 13 losses, temporarily ranking second in the West, and the first Suns win difference is enough to 3.5. The reason why the team has suffered a "roller coaster" situation in the recent past, Curry is absolutely responsible.
In the six games that began in October, Curry averaged 28.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, and after entering November, although the average score per game declined (27.4 points), 46.6% of the shooting percentage and 42.3% of the three-point shooting rate hit the best in the past four months, and in December, Curry's average of points per game remained basically unchanged (27.6 points), but the shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate began to decline (shooting 40.4%, The three-point shooting percentage is 37.4%).
I thought that after breaking the record for the total number of three-point shots made by Ray Allen, I would let myself unload my baggage, but I didn't think that in January, Curry's state directly showed a cliff-like decline, the average score per game had plummeted to 21.6 points, the shooting rate had fallen below 40% (38.2%) for the first time, and the three-point shooting rate was only 33.3%, and it was because of Curry's poor performance that the Warriors only achieved a record of 5 wins and 6 losses in January.
With a disappointing record and a declining personal performance, it's no wonder Curry dropped to sixth place on the MVP list. As of now, Curry's average per game has reached 26.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists, and the three shooting rates are 42.3%, 38.5% and 91.9%, respectively, in addition to the free throw shooting rate remains at a normal level, the other two shooting rates have hit the lowest value since the 19-20 season, but considering that curry has only played 5 games because of a wrist injury this season, this year, after playing 41 games, he can only shoot a shooting accuracy that is far below the career average. Although the reality is very cruel, I have to admit that the 33-year-old Curry may really have to serve the old.
In fact, for Curry, a guard whose physical fitness is not excellent, it is indeed not easy to transform himself into a superstar who changes the way he plays in the league over the years, it is no exaggeration to say that Curry is really the leader of the NBA across the era, but in the face of time, Curry does have to serve the old, this season we can clearly see that Curry in the case of poor shooting feel, even breaking through the basket to play two points is a bit far-fetched, This season, his shooting percentage in the paint is only 52.4% of the league average, three-point shooting, two points are not very sure, Curry's statistics have declined, and it is not too strange to affect the team's record and his MVP ranking.
