One thing you need to know is that although he has only played for more than half a season, Curry is no longer on the same level as these rookies.
Due to the Warriors' excellent record, the defensive intensity Curry encounters every day is top-notch.
Once in this kind of game with no defense and no pressure, Curry completely let go!
If you run with a 10kg sandbag tied to your feet every day, and suddenly take off the sandbag one day, think about it!
Cool is just one word!
In addition, there is another point, that is, Curry's current status has far surpassed this group of young people!
We are all young people, and no one is better than anyone else.
Even if you compete, it's all about ranking on the rookie list.
Today you are promoted to a higher rank, and tomorrow I will be in front of you again!
But Curry didn’t compete with them at all!
Because Curry has always been number one!
I haven’t even tasted the taste of second place!
If it wasn't Curry, someone else would probably have said that:
With all due respect, everyone here is rubbish!
You are all here to compete for second place!
Not only that, even on the MVP list, Curry has been ranked in the top three several times in a row!
Recently, it has reached the top of the list!
With such results, no one, not even a second-year player, can compare with Curry.
When someone's grades are better than yours, you may feel envious and jealous.
But when a person's achievements are beyond your reach, all you can do is worship him!
Then what?
What else can you do? Don't mess with him. If you two are on the same team, just give him the ball!
Not surprisingly, Curry won the 2010 Rookie Game MVP.
48 points broke the personal scoring record in the rookie game, leading the team to win, and it was a half-time buzzer beater!
It would be unreasonable to not be able to win the MVP with such a performance!
This is also the first MVP trophy Curry has won!
…
On the morning of February 14th, after the Shooting Star Competition ended, the Skills Challenge began.
Skills competitions can best test a player's flexibility and passing ability, placing higher demands on smaller defenders.
So, this is a competition between the best guards in the NBA.
Last year's skill king was Rose, the top pick of the Bulls. This year, facing new and old challengers like Nash, Deron Williams and Curry, people are looking forward to whether he can successfully defend his title.
Nash won the skill king in 2005, Deron Williams was the skill king in 2008, and although Curry is a newcomer, he is the most dazzling point guard in the league today. The challenges of these three people will put great pressure on Rose.
big.
In history, only Dwyane Wade of the Heat has won the honor of being the skill king.
If Rose successfully defends his title, he will be the second skill king after Wade to win two consecutive championships.
However, a few days ago Rose announced that he had to withdraw from the All-Star Skills Challenge due to a hip injury.
His replacement will be Livingston of the Warriors.
In fact, Westbrook's voice is also very high.
However, the Warriors' record this year is really good, and Livingston has also returned from injury. He is also known as Magic's successor. Therefore, in the end, the league decided to let Livingston replace Rose.
At any time, the team's record is the most important consideration.
This is one of the reasons why many players think of the championship team hugging them.
Compared with Livingston and Deron Williams, Curry's advantage is shooting.
However, the skills competition does not require high shooting ability, but higher passing ability.
Of course, Curry's passing ability is also very strong.
But there is still a lot of chance in skill competitions.
If a ground pass is unsuccessful, you lose the initiative.
The game is divided into two rounds, with Curry and Deron Williams in one group, and Nash and Livingston in one group.
There was not much suspense in the first round. Curry took 31 seconds and Deron Williams took 42 seconds. Curry successfully won.
In the other group, Nash took 32 seconds, 3 seconds less than Livingston, and also advanced to the second round.
Livingston lost on the three-pointer. He took four shots to score. This alone took seven or eight seconds.
This is also Livingston's biggest weakness.
The final is a contest between Curry and Nash.
Nash came out first.
Objectively speaking, Nash's passing skills are better than Curry's.
In the end, Nash took 29.9 seconds.
This puts a lot of pressure on Curry.
It takes some luck to reach within 30 seconds.
Curry performed well in the front, but he didn't go well in the ground pass.
Curry passed the ball three times in a row before throwing the ball in.
There is no surprise in the three-pointer. Curry succeeded once.
However, due to too much time wasted in the front, Curry ended up finishing second in 30.5 seconds, losing to Nash.
Of course, there is no shame in losing to Nash. After all, he is the son of the wind, a legend among point guards.
Besides, the skill competition itself is very random, so it doesn't matter if you lose.
After a short break after the skills competition, the three-point contest began.
In addition to Curry, the contestants in this three-point contest include Chauncey Billups, Paul Pierce, the previous three-point contest champion Daquan Cook, Channing Frye, Belinelli and the Knicks
Gallinari of the team.
Billups and Pierce are both long-established veterans, and their three-point shooting percentages are still good.
Cook is the champion of the upper bound three-point contest. In terms of shooting ability alone, he has two skills.
Channing Frye is a big pitcher. He plays center, but he is good at outside shooting and has a high shooting percentage.
Gallinari is a three-position player who can also play the fourth position. He has a soft shooting touch and is not bad in terms of strength.
Belinelli is a pure three-point shooter with a very high shooting percentage.
The three-point contest competes on shooting ability, but it also depends on the individual's psychological quality.
Some people get nervous when they see crowds of people, and their hands become weak and their legs tremble at critical moments.
Some people, on the other hand, really enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight. The more people there are, the more energetic they will be, and the more accurate their shots will be!
Curry is the latter.
Curry's personality is very easy-going, gentle, humble and polite.
But other than that, Curry is still a funny guy and very outgoing.
Obviously he can pass the ball with just one hit to the ground, but Curry had to juggle back-passing.
During the warm-up training, everyone else was shooting honestly, but Curry insisted on making a three-pointer from a tunnel!
Curry's personality is very suitable for the three-point contest.
The three-point contest is timed, and the contestant who scores the most points in one minute is the winner.
Some people are very accurate in three-point shooting, but their shooting speed is very slow, and their performance will be greatly restricted in a game with a one-minute time limit.
Curry doesn't have these problems.
He doesn’t have stage fright, he’s crazy, his shooting speed is extremely fast, and his hit rate is very high!
The only problem with Curry is his feel.
No one dares to say that he will score as soon as he takes a shot, and he will always feel the same!
No matter when you take the ball and shoot it, and if you shoot it and score it, you are no longer a human being!
So you still need some luck to win the championship.
