Although the Warriors have missed the playoffs, they are currently in the offseason. But the topic of the Warriors is still the focus of many discussions, including Kerr and Curry who have also been interviewed by reporters recently and talked about many topics. Recently, the NBA also announced an award, and Curry also successfully defeated Alexander and DeRozan to win this award, which is the NBA's most critical player award in the regular season.
You must know that Curry is competing for this award with Alexander and DeRozan, both of whom are very strong players in key moments. But this season, Curry has clearly outperformed both of them in crunch time. Curry is averaging 49.6 percent shooting per game and 45.7 percent from three-point range in crunch time this season. He shot 95.1 percent from the free-throw line. Curry's scoring ability in critical moments is very strong, and the league is also very sure of his leadership ability in critical moments.
Curry has been questioned for so many years, and many believe that he doesn't have the ability to make key shots. Think he has too few goal goals in his career. In fact, Curry has always been a very strong player with key ball ability, and his scoring ability in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter is also among the best in the league. It's just that in the Warriors' prime, they rarely played to the last minute. In the years when the Warriors were at their peak, the Warriors often got completely out of control after three quarters, and the fourth quarter was reduced to garbage time. Therefore, in people's traditional impression, Curry rarely shoots the shot, and rarely scores at key moments.
In fact, Curry's playing characteristics are destined for him to become a player with very strong key ball ability. Because there is no second person in the league who can compete with Curry for projection. And when it comes to critical moments, it is generally finished by shooting. Curry can play with or without the ball, and he can play with the ball in the final crunch time. And Curry's ability to get rid of defenders when attacking with the ball is very strong. He can make room for a shot by using a back cloth or changing direction. Based on his shooting percentage, probably anyone in the league would choose to let him go for the last shot.
That's why Curry was able to win this award, because his shooting was really accurate. In fact, according to Curry's accuracy, he can shoot a lot of long-range three-pointers in every game, but Curry has begun to become calm at this age, and he rarely shoots a lot of long-range three-pointers. In his opinion, this is responsible for the team, but for the fans, we want Curry to shoot more long-range three-pointers, because the long-range three-point opponent has less defensive pressure, and Curry's shooting percentage can support him to shoot these shots, which will reduce some of the pressure on him as he gets older. I wonder what the fans think?
