Earlier, the Warriors played at home against the Lakers, although the team won the opponent at 117-115, but Curry's feel still did not seem to improve, this campaign he started 36 minutes, 7 of 17 shots, 8 of 8 three-pointers, 24 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, but Fan Curry's feel is normal, and the Warriors will not win so thrilling. Fortunately, Curry's slump created another member of the Splash Brothers, Klay Thompson, to usher in this game, in this game, he shot 12 of 22, 5 of 9 from three-point range, and exploded a high of 33 points and 5 rebounds since his comeback, and the plus-minus of +10 was also the highest on the team.
Curry's struggle outside the three-point line this season seems to have become a norm, according to relevant statistics, after entering 22 years, Curry has hit a total of 70 three-pointers so far, and the accuracy of the last 3 games has not been able to break 40%, today and the Lakers a game, almost will be their own continuous hits of three-pointers to the end of the game record, it is difficult to imagine that this is the past in the three-point line outside the block to kill the Buddha". And in the 22 years of dominating the three-point list is the Raptors' core point guard VanVleet, so far, he has shot 98 three-pointers, that is to say, Curry and Van Jordan are behind 28 three-pointers, which is really unimaginable in the past few seasons.
As of now, although Curry can average 4.7 three-pointers per game in the league, his shooting rate is only 38%, if you do not count the 24.5% three-point shooting rate of only 5 games in the 19-20 season because of a wrist injury, this has set curry's worst three-point shooting rate in his career, and the only two three-point shooting rate in his career has fallen below 40%.
In fact, Curry's "sudden" aberration outside the three-point line is really unexpected, because in November his three-point shooting rate was once 42.3%, but it was in late December that Curry seemed to have suddenly lost his three-point skill pack, and in 12 games in December, Curry's three-point shooting rate was "only" 37.4%, and in 15 games in January, the three-point shooting rate came to the worst 32.9% in these months, not to mention, the average score per game was only 22.3 points. The downturn on the offensive end has also caused Curry to slide all the way down the MVP rankings, and it is most likely hopeless to win the third MVP trophy of his career this season.
When a team's backcourt core is struggling so much outside the three-point line, especially if this team is still a strong team to compete for the championship, it is definitely not good news. Originally thought that the reunion of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors will usher in a bottoming rebound, but as Klay gradually enters the better situation, it is Curry, who was in a hot state before, who drags his hind legs. Fortunately, Curry began to pay more attention to the organizational tandem aspect in the case of his poor hand, and in the last 10 games, Curry's average assists per game can reach a good 7.3 times, and it is still worth affirming that he wants to create opportunities for his teammates when he is not in ideal shape.
However, if the Warriors want to launch another assault on the championship this season, Curry must find the threat of the outside line in the past few seasons, continue to have a "roller coaster state" that has not been played, and even if the Warriors can easily enter the playoff stage, it is not realistic to want to go far. Now the Warriors can only hope for the comeback of the dream, which can play a leading role in the defensive end, so that Curry can get the more comfortable shot opportunity before.
