Yesterday in the regular season, the Warriors won 94-92 at home to the Jazz, and the two teams were almost entangled in a whole game, and at the halfway point of the third quarter, the Warriors led by up to 13 points at 79-66, but the Jazz quickly caught up, and the third quarter ended, and the Warriors led by 83-75 by 8 points.
After entering the fourth quarter, the Jazz came up to play a wave of 11-0, successfully 86-83 to overtake, but unfortunately this quarter on both sides of the feel is not good, the single quarter score is only 17-11, and finally the Warriors won with the advantage established in the third quarter, after winning this game, the Warriors won two consecutive wins, which is the second consecutive win after the Warriors entered 2022, which is not easy.
Although he won, in this game, Curry's performance was really not outstanding, and even a little pulled.
Down the field, Curry shot a total of 5 of 20, 1 of 13 from three points, 2 of 2 from the free throw line, had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, including 1 of 6 in the third quarter, Curry scored only 3 points, and in the crucial fourth quarter, Curry was 0 of 3 in a single quarter, and did not score a point.
What is the concept? In this game, Curry lost a total of 12 three-pointers, which is the seventh time in NBA history that a player has lost 12 three-pointers in a single game, and it is also the only one to win, and the previous six losses have a total of 0 wins and 6 losses.
Since entering 2022, Curry's performance has not been too good, taking the last game against the Rockets, although Curry completed the first whistle-blowing kill of his career, but the whole game shot 6 of 21, 3 of 14 three-pointers, only scored 22 points - at 1 of 10 in the half, Curry once kicked the chair on the sidelines.
Further ahead, Curry has had 39 points in a single game, but has also had:
Against the Bucks, he shot 4-of-11 and 2-of-6 from three-point range, scoring 12 points
Against the Lone Ranger, he shot 5-of-24 and 1-of-9 from three-point range, scoring 14 points
Against the Heat, he shot 3-of-17 from the field and 1-of-10 from three-point range, scoring 9 points
Looking at Curry's career, he has made at least 20 shots, the worst 6 times:
- 4 of 21, this season
- 5 of 24 this season (more than half a month ago)
- 5 of 21, this season
--21 in 5, 2010
— 7 of 28, this season
- 5 of 20, this season (this game)
6 games, as many as 5 games this season, this month alone has included 2 games, the entire month so far, Curry averaged only 20.8 points per game, shooting 35.9% from the field and 29.9% from three-point range, which is the worst of his career.
If you start with the struggle before allen broke Allen's total three-point record, Curry has played 24 games since December, averaging 23.8 points per game, shooting 37.6 percent from the field, shooting 33.8 percent from three-point range, and shooting only 53.4 percent from the field, with the Warriors 16-8 during that period.
Before entering December, Curry played a total of 19 games, averaging 28.6 points per game, shooting 46.6% from the field, shooting 42.3% from three-point range, and shooting 64.5% from the true field, with the Warriors winning 17 and losing 2 during this period.
Of course, even if Curry doesn't feel good personally, he can help the team in other ways, as Damian Lee said after this game: "(Even if it doesn't feel) Curry is still a threat on the pitch, I mean, he's Stephen Curry." ”
However, the most direct impact of poor hand feeling, declining data, and declining performance is that Curry is slowly withdrawing from the MVP ranks - if you remember, Curry once locked in the top two on the previous MVP list, but in the latest two issues of the MVP list, Curry did not enter the top five.
Not only MVP, but even a burst may have suspense - this year's backcourt competition is actually not as strong as in previous years, but Paul leads the league first, and is the assist king, Morant leads the Grizzlies to soar, personally also in the MVP's discussion range, Curry's a burst, now look no problem, and then pull down there is a problem.
Of course, Curry himself may not care about personal honors, the two MVPs have long since not needed more honors to prove themselves, but in the most cold moment of his career, the most uncomfortable is probably Curry himself, we believe in Curry's ability to adjust, I hope he can get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.
