On March 4, the Warriors were beaten by the Celtics, and the Clippers narrowly defeated the Timberwolves, two of the focus battles, two supergiants did not score double-doubles, and both were 4 points, they were both from the 2009 draft Curry and Harden. Curry made nine three-pointers and didn't make one, and his streak of missed three-pointers is about to start again. The Warriors were blown out in the first half, but Kerr chose to surrender, and Curry, Thompson and Green clocked in at the end of the second quarter. Harden shot 0-of-10 from the field, made just four free throws and scored four points.
Harden has degraded, averaging less than 18 points per game, and his mission with the Clippers is also based on organization and passing, so he is not even at the same level as Curry, and he does not even have an All-Star bench. Harden's lack of scoring in a single game is just a reflection of his strength at this stage.
Curry's lack of a single double-double score is related to his deterioration this season, this is not the first time Curry has not scored a double-double in a single game this season, there have been four or five times, but it used to be 9 and 7 points, and this time it was directly the lowest 4 points in the season.
Why wouldn't James not score in double figures in a single game like Curry and Harden did? The reason is simple. First, James hasn't degraded yet. Second, James, Curry, and Harden are not supergiants of the same level. Harden fans also know that Harden and James are not at the same level, but Curry fans sometimes do not have this awareness, and even say that Curry surpasses James, who is competing with Jordan for the first person in history, which is not too outrageous.
Some Curry fans believe that it was because the Warriors were beaten by the Celtics at halftime that Curry could not brush up the data. But this happens to be a manifestation of Curry's lack of strength, because James never lets his team surrender at half time. If James' teammates can't play, James will turn on the individual offensive mode to keep the team in the game.
In addition, Curry is too obsessed with shooting three-pointers, he is easy to be surrounded and defended, and even Iguodala said that Curry can be defended. But James can't be guarded, and he is not afraid of being trapped, he has too many offensive means, so even if he is 39 years old, he can still use 19 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles derby to lead the team to a big reversal of the Clippers. So Curry is far inferior to James, which is a fact recognized by fans, and this does not need to be quibbled anymore.
