Kuri pulled, pulled thoroughly. Yesterday's game against the Jazz, although the Warriors finally won the game, but obviously not with Curry to win.
The first three quarters of the Warriors are basically still in normal condition, and although Curry is iron, he is still in rhythm. But in the fourth quarter, Curry's eagerness to shoot three points affected the overall rhythm of the Warriors, and it was almost overturned by the Jazz.
This is a rare back-and-forth game for Curry, but it didn't work out in the end. Curry shot 5-of-20 and 13-of-13 from three-point range yesterday, the only person in history who can still win a three-pointer.
13 points is not Curry's worst performance this month, on January 4, Curry scored 9 points on 10 of 10 three-pointers; on January 14, the Warriors were played by the Bucks, Curry scored 12 points on 4 of 11.
As we all know, in the last game against the Rockets, Curry scored the first whistle of his career. Playing a rotten team like the Rockets, the Warriors need to rely on the kill to win the game can already explain the problem, that game Curry shot 6 of 21, 4 of 13 three-pointers, still pulling crotch.
The December and January games were arguably the worst two months of Curry's career. In December, Curry shot just 37.4 percent from three-point range. I thought Curry would bounce back after the New Year, but I didn't expect him to fall even harder.
So far, Curry has made 117 three-point shots in January, second only to VanVleet. But he only hit 35 shots, 29.9 percent from three-point range, and when have you ever seen Curry shoot below 30 percent from three-point range?
In January, a total of 10 players in the league made more than 90 three-point shots, and Curry's shooting percentage was the first from the bottom. Curry has made more than 20 shots in a single game in his career, and six of the seven games with the lowest shooting rate have occurred this season.
So far this season, Curry has averaged 12.7 three-pointers per game, accounting for 62.9% of the total shooting. Curry averaged 11.1 three-pointers per game in a single season, relying more and more on three points, which is also the epitome of Curry's season.
Throughout January, Curry's impatience on the court has become more and more frequent. Curry's three-point shooting rate in the conversion attack plummeted, and the more he couldn't shoot, the more he wanted to shoot, and he fell into a bad cycle.
You can find a lot of excuses for Curry's inaccurate shooting, and weight gain and age are probably the most mentioned points. There is no doubt that Curry's career is already in decline, and it is unlikely that Curry will be able to recreate the miracle for 16 years.
In less than two months, Curry will celebrate his 34th birthday, as Cole puts it: "Curry is reminding us that he is also an ordinary person, and maybe he has been supernatural too much before." ”
Curry has been gaining weight over the years, from a skinny bamboo pole in his rookie season to the "muscle man" he is now. But as he gets older, gaining weight further leads to a decline in Curry's ability to create shooting opportunities, which is inevitable.
It doesn't matter if Green wasn't there, and if Green could play, Curry wouldn't have played so badly and irrationally. The Warriors' starting lineup has only one point to handle the ball left for Curry after Klay's return, and Klay is not enough to be a ball-handling point now.
So when Green returns and Curry's pressure to hold the ball is reduced, I believe Curry's feel will gradually return. Of course, Curry's wrists and fingers have always had minor injuries, but he never uses this as an excuse.
Top shooters like Curry never make excuses for themselves. Objectively, there are many reasons why it can't be invested, but for Curry, there is only one reason: it is just not invested.
After surpassing Ray Allen, Curry's mentality has changed significantly from before. Before he was a catcher, now he has a panoramic view of the mountains, perhaps there is no goal to cause the feel to decline? Who knows.
Speaking about his bad shooting, Curry said: "Maybe you have a lot of heart, maybe you can't find the feeling of shooting, which may cause shooting problems." But I've passed that stage of self-doubt in my career. I will never lose faith in myself. ”
Never doubt the Trinitarian God, that would be the stupidest thing to do.
