Of course, Curry is indeed a historical three-point shooter, which is beyond doubt. Before him, no one could make the three-pointer get so much attention in the basketball game, but Curry's three-pointer was only the result, not the root cause! What really makes Curry so efficient is actually the core strength of Curry! I believe many people will sit still when they see this place. What? The power of Curry? Are you kidding? He is too thin!
There is no denying that Curry is really thin, which makes no famous NCAA school willing to provide him with a basketball scholarship after he graduated from high school. However, in recent years, Curry has made his body strong, but some people are misled by his baby face, and some people don't watch the game at all. These people mentioned that Curry only scored three points, that Harden only touched porcelain, and that James only held a group.
In fact, the strength of Curry in the rookie season is already good. According to the physical fitness test data before the draft, Curry was able to complete10.84kg bench press. What is this concept? This data can almost be compared with James before the draft and Durant before the draft!
Curry's hard LADA reached 18 1 kg, which was about 13 kg higher than his weight in his rookie season. After entering the NBA, Curry never relaxed his strength training, especially after his ankle injury, which made him realize the importance of strength. So, don't think Curry is in poor health just because he dunks hard. His trainer once said that Curry is actually ten times stronger than people look!
Regarding Curry's strength, the 2+ 1 against the Pelican team in that year is very telling. When the player Holliday broke through, he pulled Curry with his hands behind his back, but he couldn't stop Curry from moving forward at all. Do you know that Holiday is one of the defenders today? Small steel cannon? , is one of the few defenders who can physically fight James in the game. But even so, he didn't stop Curry from making a layup with both hands.
In the 20 18 finals, Cavaliers coach Tyrone Lu frequently arranged for James to transfer the singles library, hoping to help the team score through dislocation. James scored only 12 points in 54 singles in the whole series. Of course, James didn't take all the shots in the 54 singles, because many times James tried to eat Curry through his body, but he failed, because the core strength of Curry was much stronger than he made people look!
In fact, many people think that Curry is a defensive leaky spoon, but in fact, it is just that opponents like to play Curry by transposition, and the success rate is not high. In this regard, people who are dissatisfied can also go back to find the video of the game. Don't take it for granted that Curry's defense is a disaster.
In fact, Curry's breakthrough was equally sharp, but his breakthrough was overshadowed by his three-pointers. You may wish to take a look at Curry's breakthrough, many of which are difficult to hit the inside of the other side. Therefore, Curry's strength is absolutely superior among NBA players, but some people choose to turn a blind eye.
Someone will definitely ask, what is the relationship between Curry's strength and three-pointers? You know, Curry not only holds the ball for three points, but also has many shooting opportunities formed by running without the ball. Without the support of strong core strength, it is unknown whether he can run out of opportunities. Even if there is a vacancy, his hand movements will definitely go out of shape under severe physical confrontation. How can he be so efficient?
This is why Ye Kanjun said that Curry's biggest advantage lies in his core strength, otherwise his shooting percentage will be a cloud. So don't open your mouth all day and say that Curry will only get three points. His success comes from his efforts. What's more, even if Curry can only shoot three points, isn't the whole league still helpless to him now?
