Prior to All-Star Weekend, Curry played a total of 54 games and hit 251 three-pointers, leading the league. In addition to Curry, only VanVleet hit more than 200 three-pointers in the league, but it was also just over, 50 less than Curry.
On average, Curry can hit 4.6 three-pointers per game, also leading the league, and Curry can rank fourth in his career, after the 15-16, 18-19 and 20-21 seasons, all three seasons Curry averaged more than 5 three-pointers per game.
It is worth mentioning that Curry was very powerful in three-point shooting at the beginning of this season, once averaging nearly 6 three-pointers per game, breaking his own record, but since entering 2022, Curry's three-point shooting has been very bad, so the average number of shots per game has also declined, falling to an average of less than 5 per game.
With less than five three-pointers per game, Curry has hit more than 400 three-pointers this season, making it hard to break his own record. The Warriors have only 23 games left this season, and even if Curry remains fully attendance, averaging 6.5 three-pointers per game to do so, it is undoubtedly very difficult, especially if Curry is not in good three-point form.
Not only that, but Curry's three-point shooting rate this season is also very bad, only 37.9% so far, which is the lowest in his career. Prior to this, Curry had only had a three-point shooting rate of less than 40% in the 19-20 season, but this season he only played 5 games and had no reference value.
Even in his rookie season, Curry's three-point shooting percentage reached 43.7 percent. In addition to this season and the 19-20 season, Curry's lowest three-point shooting rate in the 16-17 season also reached 41.1%. Curry's career three-point shooting rate is also as high as 42.8%, ranking among the top in history and much higher than this season. In fact, Curry's three-point shooting rate was higher in his previous career, at one point close to 44%, and it fell below 43% because the shooting rate was too low this season.
Although Curry has made a lot of three-point shooting this season, the three-point shooting rate is really low, and from this point of view, Curry has not played his due performance and failed to show his strength.
However, in the All-Star Game, Curry hit 16 three-pointers in one fell swoop, proving himself. It's not clear if Curry can reverse his previous bad three-point form after the All-Star break, trying to hit more than 400 three-pointers this season and raise the three-point shooting rate to more than 40 percent.
