Boosted by the title, Stephen Curry is not surprised by his current offensive efficiency

As Bob Myers, GM of the Warriors, recently stated, nobody plays at their best ” with the exception of Stephen Currywith the defending champions since the start of the season.

After 11 games in the 2022/23 fiscal year, the point guard is even off to a career-best season, at least as far as attack is concerned. With gargantuan averages of 32.6 points (51.2% on shots, 43.1% from behind the arc) and 6.9 assists per game, “Chef Curry” is establishing, for the moment, his best career total in the first category, and his second best in the second (he recorded 8.5 assists in 2013/14).

But above all, he allows, on his own or almost, the Warriors not to completely sink, in this eventful start to the season (4-7). In the image, in particular, of his XXL performance against the Kings at the start of the week, a meeting during which he flew over the “money-time” to narrowly avoid a 6th defeat in a row for his team…

In short, Stephen Curry is evolving at an MVP level in this young 2022/23 season, even if he is ultimately a bit alone in the world, waiting for most of his teammates to wake up.

Largely, [mon niveau de jeu actuel] is due to the confidence gained after last season, and the title. Then I worked a lot during the summer, so I arrived very confident for this new season. » he thus confided, after training on Thursday. ” It’s not really a surprise, it’s what I expected. »

But if he explains that he is not surprised by his level of play, the double MVP still admits to particularly savoring his efficiency, while at 34, he has exceeded the famous bar of 50/40/90 since the start of the season. (51.2% on shots, 43.1% at 3-pts, 90.2% on free throws).

For players who take a large volume of shots, we often talk about efficiency, about setting standards. And it’s hard to do he adds, about this famous “club” which he joined at the end of the 2015/16 season, that of his unanimous election as MVP. ” But it’s something I strive for, because I know the effort it takes. Particularly the 50% on shots, because of all the attention from the defense. So if I can be efficient and productive, while posting such numbers, it’s still a pretty good sign. »

He carries the attack, but the defense is the key

Even though the Warriors have won only four games in three weeks, the offense is doing very well as usual since the club has the third best points average this season, with 117.3 points per game (but the 13th best evaluation, with 112.2 points scored on 100 possessions).

Largely, of course, thanks to the colossal efforts of Stephen Curry in this area.

But the season is still long, and the formula cannot be viable for 82 games. The leader of the Warriors will not be able to do everything forever, and therefore of course needs help in attack, so that the Warriors find their aspirations of “contenders”. And there is an even more important project: defense.

The attack does not worry us. It’s the other compartments that keep us from becoming the team we want to be. continues Stephen Curry, while the Warriors have only the 27th defense in the league at the moment (115.8 points against on 100 possessions). ” And from this point of view, we are all in the same boat. We all have to play with enormous energy, because the difference between a record of 7-4 and 4-7 is the defense. »
