Curry set another record, with Curry scoring 13 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 13-of-13 shooting from three-point range in the Warriors' win over the Jazz. He thus became the first player in history to concede 12 three-pointers and win with just one three-pointer, after a combined record of 0-6. In the last game, Curry just completed the first whistle of his career, in fact, in the game with the Rockets, Curry's shooting is still sluggish, the whole game Curry only shot 6 of 21, three-point shots 13 shots 4, if not the final whistle kill such a performance, his performance is not qualified. And Curry's overall performance this season is not good, such a sluggish shooting is not once or twice.
According to statistics, Curry has occupied 5 seats this season in the first six poor single-game shooting performances (at least 20 shots): 4 of 21 (this season); 5 of 24 (this season); 5 of 21 (this season); 5 of 21 (2010); 7 of 28 (this season); and 5 of 20 (this season). And this is only the statistics of more than 20 shots, if the scope is expanded to more than 10 shots, then Curry's sluggish shooting performance this season will be more, and even Curry has a game that does not score doubles this season, the last time Curry scored less than doubles, it was a matter of 2019, and that was the last game before Curry's season reimbursement, after which Curry underwent surgery. It can be seen that Curry's shooting stability has actually had a big problem this season.
Curry's three-point shooting percentage in January was only 29.9 percent, the worst monthly three-point shooting percentage of Curry's career so far. Curry averaged 26 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season, shooting just 41.6 percent from the field and 37.6 percent from three-point range, except for Curry's 19-20 season, which was the worst season of Curry's career. Speaking about Curry's sluggish shooting performance, Kerr said: "What's happening now is that he's reminding people that he's actually a person too. For a long time, he didn't look like a normal person. I think everyone wants him to be at his best all season, but actually that's not possible. I think in the last few games, in terms of his point guard duties, he's played quite well. While Curry has done everything a point guard should do on the court, the Warriors rely more on his points and three points.
So why did Curry's shooting this season have such big ups and downs? First, Curry's physical fitness problems. Curry is now a veteran who has been fighting in the league for 13 years, and the 33-year-old is certainly not comparable to the previous two years in terms of physical fitness and physical condition. Although Kerr and Curry have always said that his physical fitness is not a problem, but from the performance on the field, Curry does have the problem of lack of physical fitness now, and now it has reached the middle of the season, the physical state of the players is slightly tired, and Curry's offensive end uses more no-ball running and catching the ball around the cover. In addition, Curry faces a lot of defensive pressure, all teams are afraid of Curry's three points, Curry almost every game is facing a tight defense, which makes Curry consume more physical energy on the offensive end than other stars.
Second, Curry's muscle gain led to poor shooting. The most obvious change that fans can see this season is that his upper limbs are obviously much stronger than before, and Green also said that Curry is stronger this year to avoid being named by the defensive end again. Although Curry's muscle gain made it difficult to adapt to the memory of his previous shooting muscles, it improved Curry's defensive ability, and now Curry is not only a three-point shooter, he has also become the most important link in the Warriors' defensive end, his defensive efficiency has reached a career-high 100.2, ranking 17th in the league, and ranking in the league in steals (1.4) and interception (2.4). The most impressive thing about Curry now is that when facing the wings that are stronger than him, he can not fall behind at all, so curry has more advantages than disadvantages in general.
Third, the Warriors are missing Green. This is the main reason for Curry's poor shooting feel at present, in the end, the Warriors' entire offensive system today is built around Curry + Green, although the team has now ushered in the return of Klay Thompson, but Thompson's current performance and expectations are still far behind, and he still needs a long time to find the state. Green's lack makes the Warriors now lack an organizer, and even more lack a team pivot, Green is the real offensive and defensive core of the Warriors. Fourth, Curry's mentality is too impatient. Curry is crowned three-point queen after such a sluggish performance, in these days Curry is under too much psychological pressure, he seems to be difficult to do calmly to these, Curry now has too many too extreme three-point shots, Curry needs to adjust his mentality.
In general, curry's problems are not a big problem, after the warriors adjust, Wiggins, Thompson, Poole can share a part of the pressure, so as to win more rest time for Curry, shooting feel and their own mentality, these will be slowly adjusted through time, Curry as the greatest player in history, his ability to adjust is naturally the only slot in the league, and Green's injury is gradually recovering, when Green returns to the fully physical Warriors will show everyone. Even if Curry shoots 0-of-14, I believe that few teams will completely empty Curry, you can't guarantee when Curry will regain his feel, Curry you will always be the biggest threat on the court.
