Got it! Got it! In the new NBA season, do you want Curry to win the scoring title?

Curry scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 118-111!

The NBA preseason ushered in a major showdown. The Golden State Warriors challenged the Portland Trail Blazers away. In this game, in addition to Yang Hansen's many brilliant moves, his performance from beyond the three-point line also attracted much attention! In the first round of the game, Curry was one meter away from the three-point line. He caught the ball and jumped up decisively to face Grant's defense. The referee decisively gave a three-point foul. Curry stood on the free throw line and helped the Warriors open up the situation. Soon after, Curry took another shot from outside the three-point line, but was interfered with by Avdija from the side and fell to the ground. This time the referee gave three more free throw opportunities, which was too rare. However, except for Curry, the other players of the Warriors were in average condition. The Trail Blazers continued to suppress the Warriors. After the first quarter, the Warriors trailed 22-30 by 8 points. In the second quarter, the two sides basically maintained an offensive posture. The Warriors were unable to narrow the point difference. After Kuminga was expelled, the Warriors hit an offensive climax and narrowed the point difference to 5 points entering the halftime break! Curry came out firing in the second half, scoring 13 points in a single quarter to help the Warriors take the lead. In the fourth quarter, both sides trained and the Warriors finally defeated the Trail Blazers!

Got it! In the new NBA season, Curry must win the scoring title!

Let’s take a look at a set of data first. From the NBA official website, we can learn that Curry played a total of 70 games last season, and only made 6 free throws in a single game in 19 games, accounting for only 27%, not to mention two three-point shooting fouls in one game. Last season, Curry only received 17 three-point shooting fouls in 70 games. After so many years of career, anyone who pays attention to the NBA knows that there is a famous saying in the league, that is - Curry has no cylinder! In Curry's games, we often see Curry taking a shot from outside the three-point line and being knocked down by his opponent and unable to get a free throw. Some players even rushed directly into Curry's cylinder and were still ignored by the referee, because everyone knows that once Curry is given a three-point free throw, his threat will increase to another level. This is a situation that no other team in the league wants to see!

However, in this game, Curry received consecutive three-point whistles in a short period of time, which is so rare! After receiving a three-point penalty in the opening stage, the camera showed Cole on the sidelines, and he was smiling in disbelief! Here we are going to talk about the league’s adjustments to the whistleblowing of “high-five defense” in the new season. According to the previous rules, if a defensive player hits the hand, arm or wrist of a shooter in the follow-up action after the shot is released, as long as the contact occurs after the ball leaves the hand and the action is not hostile or excessive, such action is still regarded as unintentional contact and does not count as a defensive foul. The new season will be adjusted to: the definition of "secondary action". If the defender takes other unnecessary actions besides extending his arm to interfere with shooting, this will be regarded as a defensive foul, and a flagrant foul can even be added. To put it simply, there is no problem with the defender's clean straight-arm interference, but if he makes an "air turn" and makes additional actions such as swinging his arm, the referee will call a foul without negotiation. For example, in the two rounds when the Trail Blazers were called for fouls, Grant and Avdija both obviously waved their arms, so they were directly called for fouls!

Back to this game, Curry suddenly got 13 free throws. You must know that last season, Curry ranked among the top 15 in the league in breakthroughs per game, but he averaged only 4.3 free throws per game. In addition, last season, Curry's three-point accuracy was 35.5% when facing pressing defenses. If opponents reduce their aggressiveness when defending due to new rules, Curry's shooting efficiency will inevitably improve, which will make Curry's scoring easier! If league referees can enforce the new rules impartially in the new season, Curry will be able to get a better shooting environment, and his chances of getting free throws will also be greatly improved. It’s hard to imagine the NBA adjusting the rules in favor of Curry in the new season. Could it be that Curry is trying to win the scoring title? What do you think?
