How strong was Stephen Curry in the 2013-2014 season?

This question seems a little delicate in this plane where you and I are.

Because we all already know that in just a year's time, Curry will start to take off completely and become an MVP-caliber player, not only will his stats continue to rise, but he will gradually change the way the entire league plays.

Curry's appearance, I don't know how much it has changed about the future of basketball. You can say that this is the situation to create heroes, even if there is no Curry, there will be curry, scrap, and Ribery to change the direction of basketball in the new era.

But Curry has led a new development in basketball, there is no doubt about that.

And going back to the 13-14 seasons a season ago, how strong is Curry, who just set a record for the number of three-point shots made in a single season in league history?

At this time, how big is the strength gap between Curry, who killed all sides a year later, until two years later, when he became the unanimous MVP and led the team to 73 wins?

Some people will say that there is still a big gap. After a season or two, Curry's individual ball-handling offense has become more refined, with mid-range shots, emergency stops, cut-in, throws, rhythm control, and overall view, Curry has evolved rapidly.

But some people will say that the gap is not big, and in terms of technical actions, Curry has already taken shape. After all, at this time, Curry has long passed the age when he first came into contact with basketball, and how many well-known point guards have already played the peak performance of their careers at this age. Curry can be said to be a late bloomer — only he's much bigger than most point guards.

What really affected Curry's play was Steve Kerr's passing and cutting system, as well as the evolution of the Warriors' full team, which brought about environmental changes. The impact of this change is far greater and deeper than most people think.

Either way, it doesn't negate Curry's own efforts.

But how many people can judge at this time that Curry will become a transcendent existence in the Philadelphia 76ers that can be compared with Chen Mu, and it is even possible to snatch an MVP trophy on Chen Mu's head?

Gu Yu seems to have done it.

"Curry to the weak side is not just that he has more power to handle the ball actively."

Sitting next to Xiao Yu, smelling the unique fragrance of Xiao Yu's body and being moist and soft, Gu Yu was also a little dizzy. But the topic has been opened, and we have to move on.

"In previous seasons, on the weak side of Philadelphia, the person who was the second ball handler and the second core of the team was Iguodala, and everyone knows that." Gu Yu said: "Iguodala's technical characteristics are that he is physically vigorous, breaks through, has a good view of the overall situation, defends well, and has a mid-to-upper ability to distribute the ball, but his ability to hold the ball and attack is very average, there is no objection to this, right?" ”

"Uh-huh." Xiao Yu nodded obediently, and the temperature between the hair strands mixed with the fragrance emanated, which made Gu Yu feel so excited that he couldn't help but cast a gentlemanly glance at Xiao Yu's neckline.

"So we used to say that Philadelphia looks like a lot of stars, but it's a one-man team. Whether it is Iguodala, the former Iverson, or Yao Ming, they all revolve around Chen Mu. Chen Mu is the absolute core of this team, and all tactics are built with Chen Mu's superb offensive threat as the central point. From this point of view, in essence, whether it is Philadelphia or Chen Mu, their tactical ideas are no different from the Cavaliers and Heat with LeBron as the core, but the form of expression is different. ”

Gu Yu continued: "You are quite expected. ”

“…… Shut up, scoundrels! Xiao Yu was ashamed and angry, looked down at his neckline, and raised his eyes to see Gu Yu's burning gaze, his little face turned red, he reached out to cover his chest, and his other hand reached out and patted Gu Yu's arm.

Then, silence.

Half an hour later.

“…… Eh, it's not telling you to shut up and don't talk about tactical analysis, it's telling you to shut up and stop playing hooligan! You badass! Xiao Yu really couldn't do anything about Gu Yu, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

"Well, cough, cough, cough, then when your body moves, don't rub your legs against my legs, okay, I'll tie a basket!" Gu Yutian was shameless.

"Keep it up with you! Jacket for me! Xiao Yu patted Gu Yu again, reached out and took the coat away from Gu Yu's body, and draped it on himself.

This time, there was some indescribable physical contact......

"That one, go on!"

Gu Yu sorted out his emotions and warned himself to be cold: "Why did Philadelphia become a one-man team?" It's because the second leader is not strong enough, it's not disrespectful to Andre, but if he is the second leader, the team's big boss needs to be strong enough to explode in order to become a championship-level team. Fortunately, Lao Chen was so strong that he exploded, so they won the championship, and there were several of them. ”

"It's different now, Curry's growth has basically taken shape, and in my personal opinion, what he's missing now is more tactical leaning. As long as Carlisle is a little bolder and builds a tactical system with Curry as the core, it will also work, and Curry's stats may reach the point of averaging 30+ per game. With a super partner like Chen Mu, it is very likely that Curry will play any more terrifying three-point data. ”

"But that's not going to happen in Philadelphia." Xiao Yu said: "Chen Mu is so strong, wouldn't it be worth the loss to let him assist Curry?" ”

"So they've resorted to the tactics they have now, and you want me to say ...... Carlisle is really good. Gu Yu said: "As I said earlier, the current Philadelphia is very close to the Lakers in 02. At that time, Kobe Bryant already had the ability to lead the team alone, and O'Neal was still at his peak. ”

"Curry is on the weak side, and Philadelphia's tactical richness has risen by at least three steps. His face-frame ball-holding, break-through, mid-range shots, cutting-in, and incredible three-point ability more than doubled the space on the weak side of the court. Gone are the days when Iguodala had to find a way to break through after receiving on the weak side, replaced by Curry's endless offensive creativity, bombing from all positions and from all distances. Philadelphia's defense has dropped a bit from the previous two seasons, but the offense has improved a lot. In another year, Curry and Chen Mu will each take on 50 percent of the tasks on the offensive end, which is possible. ”

"You're saying that Curry is outside the three-point line and already has a certain amount of dominance??" Xiao Yu asked.

"Not only does it have a certain amount of dominance, but it is very likely that this dominance is already about to catch up with Lao Chen's dominance under the basket." Gu Yu nodded: "The current Philadelphia lineup doesn't seem to be as star-studded as other super teams, but it is definitely the strongest, so strong that it has no friends." Just like the Lakers back then: Bao grabbed O'Neal and was killed by Kobe; did not trap O'Neal and was beaten to death by O'Neill; Bryant was beaten to death by O'Neal; didn't wrap Kobe Bryant, and was beaten to death by Kobe. To sum it up in one sentence: both horizontal and vertical are dead. ”

It's the same thing in Philadelphia.

After nearly an hour, Gu Yu analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the western teams in the league from lineup to tactics to Xiao Yu.

Among them, the tactical analysis of each team is even more exciting to the point of exploding. The more Xiao Yu listened, the more he felt that if Gu Yu was not a superstar and entered the media industry as a sports reporter, he would definitely be a first-class super master.

What is a ball quotient? It's not that understanding tactics is called ball quotient, and it's not that doing something appropriate on the field is called ball quotient.

This kind of tactics of any opponent, as long as you look at it, you can analyze all the advantages and disadvantages, and instantly find out the best way to break it, and even use your own actions to bring your teammates together to completely smash these weaknesses of the opponent's mind, which is called a ball quotient!

Listening to this, Xiao Yu involuntarily tilted his head slightly and glanced at a corner of Gu Yu's room.

Those dusty videotapes and DVDs just lay there quietly.

Looking at Gu Yu's computer again, no matter what team he talks about, he can quickly click on one folder after another from it, find one game after another with great accuracy, and even directly find a certain round by dragging and dropping the progress bar.

And that round happened to be the one that could best illustrate Gu Yu's point of view.

What kind of mind is this? What a private hard work??

In order to survive in this alliance full of birds and beasts, Gu Yu, how much effort has he put in!

In the end, the topic naturally returned to the Kings.

“…… We don't have anything to trade, we just had a big deal in the summer, everyone is still running in, there are so many injuries, so many bans, even our full health and state, how strong we are after the run-in is completed, and we still trade a hair?? ”

Gu Yu shrugged and said: "The idea of the old man with the winged bucket is very simple, that is, he wants to implement all the basic tactics as much as possible before the playoffs begin, at least to the point that Javier can understand." And then when they all come back one by one, in the playoffs, we'll have something to play. ”

Well......

Well??

Hearing Gu Yu's words, Xiao Yu was stunned.

Playoffs??

This season, the Kings are still thinking about the playoffs?

Yes, Xiao Yu heard that Paul George, who was the most seriously injured, has entered the early recovery period, and if the recovery is better, he may be able to come back in May.

But in May, that's the second round of the playoffs, or even the third round of the divisional finals.

Is the Kings ...... Still thinking about how far you can go this season?

"What's wrong, no??" Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Gu Yu said with a smile: "Our goal for this season is the championship, and it was determined at the beginning, and it has never changed!" ”

Xiao Yu didn't know how to respond.

"And the person who was abandoned by the times is about to make a comeback, our lineup is getting more and more complete, you just wait to see a good show......!"

Gu Yu didn't care at all, and he was gearing up, looking like he was going to do something big.

The end of the season is just around the corner.
