In yesterday's Warriors game against the Trail Blazers, the Warriors easily won, and Curry scored 18 points in the offensive end of the last game. There weren't a lot of shots. Curry contributed 14 assists on the passing end, also a season high. After the All-Star Game, we found that Curry deliberately changed the way he played, combing the team as much as possible through passing, while he reduced the offense.
In fact, we have always thought that Curry is an offensive-oriented point guard, but we often ignore his passing, for which Thompson also bluntly said that because Curry's offensive ability is too strong, most people will ignore his passing, in fact, his passing ability is also the top of the league, and Thompson believes that Curry's age is the strongest player he has ever seen.
In fact, Thompson's evaluation of Curry is still very objective. Curry's ability on the passing end is really overlooked, because Curry faces a bag clip every game, so when Green is on the floor, Curry's assists are often directly formed into a score. A lot of the Warriors' points come from Curry's second assist. That is to say, after Curry passed to Green, Green gave it to the Warriors teammates again. That's why Curry's assists are compressed. Largely because the other side targeted him to defend and pinch him.
Imagine if the Warriors center's athleticism was very strong and the playing choices were very reasonable, then Curry's assists per game would rise sharply. Because when he blocks with the center, the other side is bound to pinch him, the center can directly complete the basket after going down, just like Wiseman before, although we often complain about Wiseman's offensive choices, but when Curry and Wiseman block and dismantle, there are many times when Wiseman can directly come to the inside to complete the dunk, which is what other defenders do not have Curry's ability on the passing end. This is also the effect of the gravitational pull of the library.
And Curry's vision is also very good, Curry will not waste a chance to attack quickly, we can often see Curry's full-time long pass, Curry's long pass from one bottom corner to another. These are all manifestations of Curry's vision. It's just that Curry's offensive ability is too strong, so it masks his passing ability. So Curry is also a master passer, and he can play very good passing performances every game.
