Preface.
"Air Slash King" is an unavoidable term in NBA games, specifically referring to those players who have hit super statistics in a game but have not led the team to win, and there are many such players this season, such as Curry, the star of the Warriors. As the top scorer in the league today, although Curry is 35 years old, he can still contribute one game after another, especially this year's Curry, after experiencing a downturn in December, Curry has been in hot form since January, scoring more than 40 points in four games, and even scoring 60 points in a single game, but unfortunately, the Warriors only won one of these four games, Curry can be called the most miserable big man in the NBA this season, a typical air chopping king. The reason for this is that it has a lot to do with Curry's good brother Klay, and it is Klay who drags Curry back! 60+41！The saddest big man in the NBA, admit it, it's your best brother who cheated you!
This season's Warriors' championship journey can be described as twists and turns, internal and external troubles, and many problems, first of all, the state of the core lineup Klay and Wiggins, Klay's state is unstable, and the accuracy of shots outside the three-point line is not as accurate as the previous two seasons, and there are rarely several consecutive stable output performances, Wiggins has been in the doldrums for most of the season, and the offensive and defensive seasons are simply worlds apart; secondly, the key player Dream Green once suffered a suspension crisis, Curry lacked the most effective helper, and the team lacked an important link at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends; Finally, there is the contradiction of the team's rotation of the old and the new, the newcomers are dissatisfied with the playing time and want to be on the top, and the head coach Kerr is old-fashioned and does not give young people such as Kuminga, Moody, and Poger a chance. These problems all piled up, and the Warriors fell out of the play-in zone at one point!
The death of the Warriors' assistant coach and the return of the dream have made this team re-twisted, plus Kerr had to change the rotation to bring in Kuminga and Pojie, the Warriors who alternate between the old and new elements have played very well, they have won 7 of the last 9 games, including a five-game winning streak, but just when the momentum was at their peak and they were ready to soar, the Warriors were once again reversed by the Clippers, and the culprit of the loss was Klay, who was 1 of 9 from beyond the three-point line and only scored 12 points in the game. Curry scored 41 points, and the last time Curry scored 60 points, Klay was also the worst player, shooting 3 of 13 from beyond the three-point line, and only scored 10 points in the game. If Klay can return to averaging 20 points per game, then the Warriors should not just win five in a row, but an unstoppable nine-game winning streak.
Curry is still in hot form this season, averaging 33 per game in 49 games4 minutes can hit down 283 points 44 rebounds and 49 assists and 08 steals and a 42-point shooting percentage3%, and more importantly, Curry can average 51 three-pointer, 250 three-pointers have been hit so far, far ahead of Doncic, who is in second place, and is the only one in the league. On top of that, Curry is also the king of key shots this season, averaging 51 point, leading the Warriors to 17 wins. Such a good competitive state, but the current Warriors only have half of the win rate, and only rank tenth in the West, it is a pity, Klay must bear half of the responsibility, if it were not for Klay has been immersed in the obsession of shooting, the Warriors would not be what they are now.
Epilogue. A critical moment in the fourth quarter against the Clippers, at this time the Warriors still held a double-digit lead, but with Klay missing three points in two consecutive rounds, it not only disrupted the Warriors' offensive rhythm, but also allowed the Clippers to develop a touch, during that time Curry has been trying to help Klay get back his touch, even if he got the frontcourt rebound, he did not choose to attack, but passed to Klay and covered him, but unfortunately Klay failed Curry. As a wind and rain brother for more than ten years, Curry has always given Klay great trust, but if Klay continues, not only will he pit himself, but also hurt his good brother Curry and the entire Warriors team, Klay must start to change from himself, abandon irrational shooting options, and play more reasonable basketball, of course, Kerr should also continue to control Klay's playing time, distribute everyone's playing time fairly, and give priority to those who have the ability, so as to make the locker room more harmonious!
