The NBA regular season is drawing to a close, and the performance of the Warriors so far this season has really been a "roller coaster". At the beginning of the season, the Warriors suffered repeated defeats. At that time, almost all fans said that the Warriors could not make the playoffs, and they all said that Curry’s ability to lead the team was not good. However, after a brief slump, the Warriors quickly regained their state of the game and found a way to win, changing from a belly team with repeated defeats to a strong Western team with a winning percentage of over 50%.
I believe that many fans will ask, how did the Warriors change from a fish-belly team to a strong Western team? Some fans said that it was because of Green's excellent combing, some fans said that it was because Wiggins found the game state, some fans said that it was because Oubre found the feeling of shooting, and some fans even said that it was because of Kerr's outstanding coaching ability. To be honest, these factors are one of the factors for the Warriors to be successful, but these factors are not the main factors for the Warriors to enter the eighth place in the Western Conference. There is only one main factor for the success of the Warriors, and that is Curry's excellent performance, allowing one person to carry the entire Warriors team on their shoulders.
So far this season, Curry has played 60 games for the Warriors, averaging 34 minutes per game, scoring 32 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.2 steals. The shooting rate is 48.7%, the three-pointer shooting rate is 42.9%, and the free throw shooting rate is 91.6%. Among them, the average 32 points per game ranks first in the league . If there is no major accident, it is almost a certainty that Curry will win the scoring title this season. Well, if this data doesn't explain Curry's strength, let's take a look at Curry's data after entering May. After entering May, Curry played 5 games for the Warriors. In these 5 games, Curry scored 49 points, 34 points, 37 points, 41 points and 30 points.What's more worth mentioning is that Curry made 40 three-pointers in five games.
Well, if the data in May does not show the strength of the library, then we will extend the data in the library to April. In April, Curry played 15 games for the Warriors. Of these 15 games, Curry scored 30+ points in 13 games, including 10 games with more than 35 points and 5 games with more than 40 points. I believe that after reading these data, everyone should be able to feel the power of Curry, right? Can you feel how strong Curry's dominance is on the offensive end? After reading the data, let's talk about Curry's ability to lead the team. I believe that at the beginning of the season, almost all fans questioned Curry's ability to lead the team. However, it turns out that our view was wrong.
You can recall that the gap between the Warriors with Curry and the Warriors without Curry. Without Curry, the Warriors' offense would fall into a "paralyzed" state. Because there is no containment point on the outside, the team's interior will be very crowded and there is no room for singles. Without the strong point of Curry, Green's top arc deal could not play out at all, and Wiggins could only fall into the situation of individual singles. The bottom line is that the Warriors without Curry are just a second-tier team. On the contrary, with Curry's team, the Warriors' offense flows very quickly, and the team's offense plays very smoothly. Wiggins can get a lot of open singles opportunities, Green's top arc can also play to the maximum energy, and Curry's breakthrough can also exchange for many empty cuts and outside shooting opportunities for the team. It is no exaggeration to say that a Warriors offense with Curry is at the top of the league, because opponents have to double-team Curry.The most striking comparison is to look at the record of the Warriors with Curry, and then look at the record of the record without Curry, so that it is clear at a glance.
Speaking of which, I can’t help but think of the podcast that NBA celebrity Bill Simmons recorded with reporter Zach Lowe. When it comes to Curry's leadership, Simmons said: "This is all stupid... They will discuss it. If you make this point, you are stupid. If you really question him, then There may be something wrong with your head." Yes, Simmons is right, Curry's performance this season can really be described as MVP, both in terms of leadership ability and individual ability Curry is perfect. It could even be said that if there are only five superstars in the league, Curry must be one of them.
