In trouble with his shot, Stephen Curry finally woke up during Golden State’s victory against Minnesota. However, this would not be the result of chance, because the Chief would have found a solution to his worries. This was also revealed after the meeting.
The last few weeks have not been the most restful for Stephen Curry, which suffered from a real address failure. Usually so precise in shooting, especially at three points, the Warriors point guard is having his worst career campaign in this area: 42% in overall shooting, including 38% from afar. It is no coincidence that his franchise has chained some poor performances since the beginning of January, thus losing the lead in the Western Conference.
Fortunately for him, the double MVP was able to set the sights when facing the Timberwolves. Winners 124-115, the Dubs saw their franchise player catch fire again, with 29 points at 6/10 behind the arc. A successful performance that would be anything but a coincidence, according to The Athletic. Marcus Thompson did his little investigation in the Bay, with the following revelation:
More shooting power for Stephen Curry
In his usual post-practice shooting session, Curry was missing his shots like crazy, for him anyway. He knew what was wrong, what his usually succinct form lacked. He just couldn’t isolate the cause of the problem. The problem was the power he put into his shot.
“He started talking about not having enough power and slacking off when the ball was on top (of his shot),” Warriors assistant coach Bruce Fraser, who has worked closely with Curry for years. “Especially when he was closer to the arc or on the way out of certain moves on the pitch.”
A little more punch when sending his long-distance bombs, so that’s what #30 lacked. Now that the key has supposedly been found, it is a question of confirming the duration for the triple champion. Second in the West (36-13), Golden State is about to play the Nets orphans of Kevin Durant. The perfect opportunity to practice the adjustments of the best three-point shooter in history!
Let’s hope that this match has not been just a breath of fresh air for Stephen Curry, who regained his fabulous address in the space of 48 minutes. If he can definitely get back in the saddle, the Warriors should be able to ride the competition again as they did before January!
