Curry's Honest 'Lies' – The Illusion of NBA Data
Let's start with the conclusion: Curry is actually at the level of the 180 club every year!
As long as you have carefully watched any game of the Warriors where Curry plays, you should be able to see Curry throw the whistle ball, no, to be precise, the coach and teammates default to this kind of ball that is not scored with a high probability of throwing the ball to Curry, and Curry is also accustomed to taking the initiative to take the pot and throw the ball out or push it out with both hands.
We often see such a picture: either when the baseline ball is served within 3 seconds of each quarter, Curry, who has been replaced off the break, is replaced, or before the break in the second quarter of the game, the backcourt throws a random one, he really doesn't care about the shooting percentage! He really doesn't "cherish feathers".
So far this season, Curry is averaging 19 shots per game8 times, shooting 9 per game1. The average three-point shooting per game is 12, and the average three-point shooting per game is 504。And Curry throws this kind of catch ball no less than 1 time per game on average, let's just count it at 1Five times is good, if you subtract this catch-and-shoot shot, Curry will easily shoot 50% from the field and about 48% from three-point range. This is the real shooting bug. As a game, in addition to the bug-level characters in the game, should you weaken them? So, did the game's makers and maintainers take action and patch it? For example: if you are fouled, you will blow less, even if you are padded to your feet, you can endure it, learn to avoid points, and if you are really angry, you will not give less free throws that should be given if you are in contact with the basket.
Anyway, people who don't watch the game don't know that the defensive three seconds and the team's technical foul free throws are all executed by you, and if you look at the number of free throws, you are not ridiculously small, it must be taken care of by the league. However, after watching the game, everyone knows that Curry is the superstar without a superstar whistle in the history of the league, and even ranked in the top three or even the top two in Curry's label bar for a long time: no cylinder (and later there was an evolved version of "no head").
Let me be more intuitive, if Curry barely shoots three-pointers like DeRozan this season, that is, he averages 12 three-point shots per game, what do you guess Curry's shooting percentage is? The answer is: 521%！
If Curry doesn't throw those backcourt buzzer-shot shots and hasty shots with little offensive time left every game, what is Curry's true shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage? The answer is: Curry will shoot more than 50 percent from the field and around 50 percent from three-point range. Needless to say, the free throw shooting percentage has remained above 90% all year round, and has always been the highest free throw shooting percentage in NBA history.
Among the top stars in the NBA, their average shots per game are usually about 20 shots, so the average average of one more and one less open layups per game will have an extremely huge impact on the shooting percentage, specifically, it can be at least 5 percentage points different, so what if it is two, three or even four? What's the truth behind the data? It's worth pondering for everyone.
In a world full of data, some people are underrated because they don't care about the representational data, and some people use the representational data to get overrated. There are surface data and real data, which one do you choose to believe? It depends on your cognitive stage and, at the same time, determines the depth of your cognition. I hope that everyone can be a person with deep thinking ability, not blind, not following the trend, and not being led to the rhythm.
