Chapter 300: Factors Affecting Curry's Historical Status

Li Ming successfully hit Curry, and by the way, he made a sneering expression at Curry, which made the latter angry!

People are probably like this, they can only forgive their own recklessness, but they can't forgive others for their unkind actions.

In his heart, he hated Li Ming completely!

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Curry got the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt, his eyes were fixed on Li Ming, and he didn't signal to anyone on the Warriors what to play next.

When the Warriors team saw him like this, they knew very well what their teammate was going to do!

He must have been beaten up and was unconvinced, and wanted to return it!

After all, we've been working together for almost three years!

Run together countless times!

I was taught a lesson by Cole and my scalp was numb!

I've seen each other's appearances, and even went to a nightclub to eat fast food together!

If they don't even have this tacit understanding, then how did they accomplish the achievement of two championships in three years?

So these tacit understandings are still there!

But they didn't just stand, but ran towards their respective landing points, looking at the meticulous and serious running positions! I don't know, what kind of tactics do you think they will fight next?!

It's clear that they're creating a cover for Curry.

Make the opposite Bulls players mistakenly think that they are playing tactics.

This is another reason why Curry is considered a system player!

Because in this system he can command his teammates at will, help him do cover runs, and even some fake tactical runs.

But if it was on the Cavaliers, JR might think that he was asking him to run to the basket to grab a rebound...

This is Curry's luck, and why many people say that no matter who is replaced by Death Five, another person with a similar reputation, or a little less famous, from that position can still win the championship!

No way, this system gives this group of players great bonuses, and these bonuses, as long as the players who are willing to share the ball can enjoy, which can inadvertently improve the ability of this player!

Maybe some people don't think so, they think that not all superstars can play the best performance of their careers in front of this Warriors team!

This seems to be true, but in fact, it is just a defense for the Warriors star!

Here's an example!

Very simple example, Owen!

The Warriors play team basketball!

The Celtics play team basketball the same!

So from the changes of Irving in the Celtics in the 17~18 season, it can be seen that Irving's changes!

In fact, it boils down to three words!

The most important thing in team basketball is efficiency and defense!

Because Irving's identity is swapped with Curry, then add another word, it's called leadership!

Let's start with defense. During his time with the Cavaliers, Irving conquered the world with his historic offensive talent, but on the defensive end, he has been criticized. Last season, Irving's individual defensive efficiency was 109.1, lower than Thomas Jr.'s 108.6, and Thomas Jr. is already recognized as a big defensive colander in the league. Unlike Thomas Jr., Owen has a height of 1.91 meters, and his above-level athleticism has the basic conditions to play a good defense. It also turns out that if there is enough will and an ideal environment, Irving can defend well. In his first nine games for the Celtics, Irving made a total of 23 steals, averaging 2.56 per game, leading the league in steals at one point. Although after that, with the end of the honeymoon period, his steal stats returned to the world, but by the time he collapsed with a knee injury, he still had a defensive efficiency of 103.4. Compared to last season, it is a huge improvement. In addition, several other high-level stats also prove Irving's improvement on the defensive end: this season, his defensive victory contribution is 2.7, compared to 1.5 last season, Irving's defensive true plus/minus this season is -0.6, compared to -2.3 last season, and Irving's opposing defense is 44.1% and 33.5% of three-point shooting percentages this season, compared to 46.3% and 36.7% last season.

It can be seen from here that Irving's defensive ability is not absent, but that he lacks reasonable adjustment, and his physical fitness itself is much stronger than Curry!

There may be fans who don't agree, saying that Irving's defense is useless, and his role in team coordination defense is not as good as Curry's, this is a person who is willing to participate in collaborative defense!

Then let's take a look at the team's defensive performance... So far this season, the Celtics have lost 101.6 points per 100 possessions with the Jazz after letting go of two outside defensive cores, Avery Bradley and Crowder. And before Irving's knee injury recurrence ended early on February 12, their defensive efficiency was only 101.4 points per 100 rounds, leading the way!

As you can see from this, Irving's role in team defense is not bad, he is a player who can cooperate with his teammates to help defend!

After talking about defense, let's look at the offense. When he left the Cavaliers last year, there was a saying that Irving wanted a central position, wanted the ball, and wanted to prove that he had what it took to tie the whole team together. But with the Celtics, head coach Stevens didn't try to transform Irving into a traditional point guard, but continued to play to the strengths of his individual offense, allowing him to play the role of a "scoring point guard." It's just that at key moments in the game, he was given more decision-making power.

What can be remembered for this makeover by Stevens?!

Scoring point guards... Who is this talking about?

This is undoubtedly Curry!

And the Warriors have more power to decide in crunch time... Who is it?

Needless to say, that's Durant!

One Irving can play the role of Curry of the Warriors and two supergiants of Durant!

Don't say Curry has a big heart... is still the same sentence, if he is really a big player, then why doesn't he have a single FMVP with two championships in three years?

Don't say that no FMVP doesn't mean anything, Curry just doesn't have FMVP doesn't affect his historical status...

There really can't be a funnier reason than this!

If the FMVP can't affect the historical status, why does Kobe spend so long competing for the two FMVPs that belong to him?

Therefore, self-deception is the most important thing!

The FMVP may not affect Iguodala's historical status, that is, even if Iguodala gets the FMVP, there will be no drastic changes in the evaluation of his entire historical status.

But if Curry can't win the championship MVP in his entire career, then his historical status will definitely be affected!
