Stephen Curry
If it weren't for the slump of the games four months ago, Curry had already confirmed the statement that the best basketball player on the earth, but in any case, he was the most revolutionary little man. Born in the revolution, he showed the legend
posted in the acres
Today I saw the news about Stephen Curry, most of which talked about his touch of being named "perverted accurate" and his cruel three-pointer who killed people and killed people. He would also use LeBron James, the first person in the league. James, even when Curry was at its peak last season, he was sometimes compared to basketball god Michael Jordan.
The magic of Curry is beyond doubt. A basketball player who was generally believed by experts a few years ago to be seriously rated as a serious glass attribute. The efforts behind it are definitely much more difficult than we imagined. It is an absolute inspirational role model. Perhaps his style of play is not liked by many people, but such a strong performance must be respected by all fans.
Curry is truly published in the acres and is raising it between the buildings. Curry was never the focus of media favor before the outbreak. He was not outstanding in physical fitness, unlike many super giants in the league who were incredible as soon as they debuted, and they were not able to win the titles of "successor" and "proud son of heaven".
Back to the 2009 draft, although Curry was considered to have the potential power of the lottery show, he was far from a popular player in the draft. At that time, Curry's father, , Dell Curry (Dell Curry) was determined to operate him to the big city of New York. The No. 8 draw held by the Knicks also seemed to meet Curry's draft market. For this reason, Curry also persuaded the Timberwolves to withdraw his favor.
At that time, Timberwolves general manager David Kahn, who lacked connections, gave up his pursuit of Curry because Curry refused to try out and chose Jonny Flynn. The unlucky Wolves missed a future superstar.
However, Old Curry's "crawl" ended up not getting what he wanted. They plotted against the King and scared the Timberwolves away, but they didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to kill halfway through. Warriors chose Curry in the 7th pick, barely overwhelming the Knicks' No. 8 pick.
For the Warriors at that time, making such a choice was only for extremely simple motivation. The "mad scientist" Old Nelson , the then head coach of the Warriors, had a simple standard for his players - "can run, can shoot." Curry, as a young man who has continuously broken the three-point record of NCAA, naturally meets Old Nelson's standards. In this way, Curry arrived at the destined Bay Area by chance.
Since it comes, then it is safe. Curry showed good strength in his rookie season. The first triple-double of the 2009 rookie, the sixth player in history to win "30+10+10" in the rookie year, and was selected into the first team of rookies with unanimous votes... These are all proof of value and the basis for his future breakthrough. However, he was still ignored by many people. In the rookie season, there are two big rivals, Evans
(Tyreke Evans) and Brandon Jennings. One is averaging "20+5+5" per game and the other is in history, and the other takes the title of "Youngest 50-pointer" into his arms, and his light completely overshadows Curry. There is also Blake Griffin, who has not played a single game for the season, but has aroused the curiosity of fans, and is not very famous.
In addition to the rampage of young talents of the same level, there is another important reason why people have low expectations of Curry, that is, injuries. In the first few years of Curry's career, injuries were always his lingering nightmare, with ankle being the focus. The serious injury shattered Curry's season playing time and rhythm, and his condition was suppressed to an extremely unsatisfactory level.
Rookie Tournament season, Curry's performance in the last thirty games was perfect and he had many amazing performances, but because he was tired of injuries in the first half of the year, his condition could not continue, so he failed to win the trophy of the best rookie.
In the 2011-2012 season, Curry suffered the most serious injury in his career. He only played 26 games throughout the season, averaging only 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. He announced the season's reimbursement before the regular season ended. With such performance, it is hard to remind people of the future superstar who dominated the league, defeated all the heroes, had the first regular season unanimous MVP in history, and won 73 wins in the Warriors leader.
Curry struggled tenaciously in the torture of injury. The familiar plot and unknown future were like a haze that enveloped his life. It seemed that the devil always lingered. As he said later, "After the ankle surgery, there was a time when I was worried that I could still play basketball, let alone whether I could play at a high level."
This is not because Curry is not confident. Faced with continuous serious injuries that can make season reimbursement, even if his psychological quality is good, he will inevitably doubt his life. Warriors was not sure at the time. They appreciated Curry's talent and had long straightened him and clarified his position as the core of the team, but were still afraid of his hidden dangers of injury. After all, his talent was as strong as Oden, and the example of his ultimate defeat by injuries was in front of him.
If the Curry wants to make it, it needs revolutionary changes, but this is ultimately a gambling, because revolution means unknown and crossing the river by feeling the stones. The Warriors still made a bold bet. General Manager Miles later said, "At that time, we decided to bet on a few things, we bet on his character, his ability, we bet on him, he is the kind of player who is willing to use all his own strength to do everything in order to make a comeback. We bet on him as a smart player, a hard-working player." So, a four-year, $44 million contract came over, and the Warriors "give full sincerity" and Curry happily accepted it.
gains what he can't
4's contract of 44 million is the trust of the Warriors and the driving force that motivates him. If the next maximum salary contract is an overly realistic goal, then even Curry's great dream in his mind, he must keep improving, but he might not know that he had set off a revolution at that time.
Just as he was worried about whether he could play well, he also said something else, "But I think this matter has made everyone realize my diligence and my hard-working attitude towards playing basketball. This makes me insist on taking every day seriously, cherishing and making good use of every day. Now I try my best to enjoy happiness on the court. Of course, you won't feel happy in , but I enjoy the result of myself coming out of all this."
From here, we can see that Curry has a very strong desire to get rid of injuries and prove himself in the most direct way on the court.
Injury not only brought an improvement in his will, but also made him change his training methods. The most important thing is the scientificization of strength. Curry faced the theory that "accelerating change direction cannot rely on the ankle and more on the strength of the hips", and withstood a deadlift equivalent to twice the weight with his thin torso. This made many of his movements relied on one leg in the subsequent actual combat, which was an unimaginable technical move for many people in , which stunned the Warriors teammates.
This is the important reason why Curry was able to be reborn after a major injury, which is completely different from the previous Glass Boy. Through scientific diligence, Curry gradually recovered, and when he stood on the floor again, his eyes were filled with desire and murderous intent.
Then, it was an uncontrollable magic - a 54-pointer in a single game in his career, including 11 three-pointers in a single game (of course, this record was surpassed and broken by Curry himself not long ago), the league's three-pointer in a single season, the Western Conference Player of the Month, a data side by side with Jordan, the Warriors' three-pointer...
Curry's ability was newly recognized in the 2014 New Orleans All-Star Game - was elected as the Western Conference All-Star starter, squeezed out the Western Conference starting point guard Chris Paul (Chris Paul), who has been unable to stand for many years, and has entered the largest entertainment platform in the NBA for the first time. Although his debut only had 12 points and 11 assists, which was not conspicuous among the brilliant stars, this result created a history, the first Warriors player to get such a double-double in the All-Star Game.
In the playoffs of 2012-13 season, the Warriors eliminated the Nuggets in Curry's performance in the first round. Curry proved that he was fully capable of showing his terrible shooting skills and superstar level strength in playoff-level confrontations. In the second round, Curry was even more shocked. He led the Warriors to a backward situation. He finally failed due to inside injuries. However, Curry's performance made the knowledgeable Popovich (Gregg Popovich) admire:
"In this round of the series, Curry's performance reminded me of Jordan." This sentence sounded a bit like the winner's generosity and a "compliment" to the losers, but from Curry's future development, it can only be said that waves are keen to recognize people.
2014-2015 season, Curry went to a higher level. His reputation reached an unprecedented height. He was selected as an All-Star for the second time, and he was still the starting lineup, and he also became the league vote king. In actual combat, Curry is becoming more and more brave, with various records, especially the three-pointer of the past - the youngest 1,000 three-pointer, the player who scored 1,000 three-pointers in NBA history, the first player in the league who made less than 25 free throws, but scored 45 points, further breaking the NBA's single-season three-pointer record...
and the regular season MVP, Curry holds this heavy trophy. He held it up as an understatement, with a smile on his face, but I don’t know if he had ever recalled the bitterness of that made him famous in his severe injuries a few years ago. The Warriors, led by Curry, also made great progress and finally reversed the Cavaliers who lacked the two giants led by single-core James in the finals, winning the O'Brien Cup, which symbolized the glory of the league's highest group. However, even so, the old-school commentators still have a contempt for Curry's revolutionary style of play, and the best proof is that FMVP is under the hands of Igudala (Andre Iguodala).
2015-2016 season, Curry went to the next level, broke out since the opening game, and then scored a 24-game winning streak with the Warriors and the Warriors. This season, the Warriors' regular season record reached an astonishing 73 wins and 9 losses, breaking the unprecedented 72 wins of the Bulls dynasty in the 1995-1996 season.
Curry is very outstanding in his personal performance and is in a hot state. He often appears in the dominant table. He is listed as the "Most Progressive Player" award contender, and was even compared with Jordan for a time. He averaged 30 points per game, scored a total of 402 three-pointers, won the scoring and stealing king, and also won the first unanimous MVP in the history of the league. His "logo shot" is easy to use. The 10-level super long three-pointers are breathtaking. The countdown is even more , which makes the opponent desperate and makes the home fans crazy.
However, the defeat in the finals was like a basin of cold water pouring head-on. Curry did not use his injury as an excuse for his poor performance. For Curry, he was used to using progressive and revolutionary play to fight back and question. This summer, Kevin Durant, , left , under tremendous pressure and accused him of leaving Thunder , joining the Warriors, and forming a super-html-level 4 Warriors with the extremely luxurious book lineup, and next season, he will target the championship.Curry will still be the core, and what ending he will lead this warriors is worth paying attention to. What is more interesting is what disruptive experiences Curry can bring us as the lineup runs in and the rebound in his condition.
The most scoring point guard
Before Curry reached his junior year, he broke the NCAA record of freshman three-pointers and the NCAA record of three-pointers in a single season. It seems that he is no different from his performance in the NBA's current NBA defeat, but in fact there is a fundamental difference. Curry completed the transformation from a shooting guard to a point guard in the summer from sophomore to junior year.
The original intention of Curry to change his career to become a point guard was actually just to make his child who looks thin to develop a physical talent, especially to have a relatively low-height requirement. When Curry was happy that his son was selected by the Warriors in the seventh pick, he might not have thought that his original decision would add a strange glory to the future NBA.
Great point guard Nash once commented on Curry like this: "Curry is the greatest shooter. The only question I am worried about now is whether he has ignored other equally excellent players, but I thought again, why can't it be Curry? He is the best shooter I can think of. Whether it is shooting speed, hit rate, shooting number, continuous hit ability, and scores at critical moments, he is impeccable."
Nash's evaluation actually points out Curry's uniqueness - the terrible scoring explosiveness and key ball ability in the point guard position. Nash is a two-time MVP, but he lacks the honor of a championship. Another super point guard of his time, Kidd, also won the championship as a role player in his later years. The reason is that they lack the terrible explosiveness of scoring.
Of course, Curry's point guard who is a wild player does have shortcomings in his job as a point guard. Such as the reckless back passes at the last moment of this year's finals are inevitable mistakes, but judging from his performance on the court, Curry's strong offensive restraint is enough to make him a perfect offensive engine, but he is more focused on using scoring to drive defense.
The league does not lack point guards who can score, but it is refreshing to be able to score like Curry. Curry is ahead of everyone.
shooter definer
Since the league appeared in the three-point line, the appearance of three-point shooters has been opened with this Pandora box. There is a cold-blooded sniper in any championship team, but the word shooter always gives people the feeling of a character player, great as Reggie Miller and Ray Allen . People's first impression is that they push Jordan or shoot on the head of Parker . Push forward, the bird Bird said: "I don't like to shoot three points at all." A team that mainly relies on shooting cannot win the championship. This is the consensus of almost all old-school basketball players. The pioneer who upholds this view is Barkley .
However, he was unrestrained and said whatever he wanted, but Sir Ba Jue was defeated by Curry in two seasons. Curry is not only a super shooter, because in addition to shooting, he also has excellent breakthroughs and superb layup skills in the man-ball team. But more importantly, he redefined the shooter. The shooter can also fully control the game. The shooting can not only win the ball, but also win the championship.
Last season, the Warriors scored a total of 1,077 three-pointers, ranking first in the league. Interestingly, he and Thompson alone threw 678, which is even more than the total number of single-season 13 teams in the league.
He has a strong grasp of the three-pointer after running without the ball, especially at the bottom corner, and the projection is as accurate as the machine setting. Although his open shots were so accurate, with a shooting percentage of more than half a percent, far ahead of the second place, we still had the illusion that his open three-pointer was not accurate enough, because his strong three-pointer after shaking was too terrible.
His shooting movements are simple and his shooting speed is extremely fast. It only takes 0.3 seconds from holding the ball to shooting, which allows him to avoid blocking even if he makes a strong shot. With accurate shooting skills and super fast shooting, he only needs a little time to shoot and can immediately turn into a three-point shooting. And he has been able to perform normal projections in the Logo position. As for how painful it is? Just ask the Thunder who last season will understand.
His strength is not only due to his personal offense, but also under the influence of his huge attack range, and his ability to mobilize opponents' defensive positions has reached a rare point. Some people have even given this restraining force a more "scientific" name, called "Curry Gravity". Curry redefined the three-point shooter, allowing the assassin profession to enter the house from now on.
Why is he the pioneer?
Curry is 28 years old this year. As a point guard who needs accumulated experience, his peak period is far from coming, but he can already match many great point guards. Compared with previous predecessors, the greatest magician is arrogant to everyone with his all-round talent, while Curry takes a different path. He redefined the shooter with his peak shooting ability. He gave the Warriors an extremely huge space on the field during offense. Under his influence, the league entered the three-point era unknowingly.
Part of his leading era
·Even after Durant came to the Warriors, Curry still maintained beautiful data and offensive efficiency, which proves that the system he brought with him can be tolerant of team basketball in any situation.
·Curry is already the well-deserved first three-point shooter in NBA history. As long as he stands near the three-point line, he is the scoring killer that any team fears the most. He makes this cold weapon even more deadly.
·In addition to the three-pointer that shocked Gu Shuojin, Curry's other skills are also very good, especially after entering the inside, the high-pitched layup was a top-notch in the league. Putting aside the three-pointer, he is still an efficient offensive actuator.
