Average of 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game! The Warriors starting center is here, which is a good thing for Curry

NBA training camp is about to start, but no agreement has been reached for renewal negotiations between the Warriors and Kumingga. This led to Dunleavy being very passive in signings. For example, Brogdon, who was almost obtained, was intercepted by the Knicks.

Subsequent reports pointed out that Brogden and the Knicks signed an unsecured contract. To a large extent, this is no different from being free.

Fortunately, the Warriors did not gain nothing. In addition, it was revealed that Al Horford will confirm to join the Warriors. According to the NBA China official website, Horford will sign a contract after the farce of Kumingga and will serve as the Warriors starting center.

Horford, the Warriors' starting center! This seems to me to be a good thing for Curry.

, that is, combat power

24-25 season, Horford averaged 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, considering that this is the efficiency achieved with an average of 28 minutes per game.

In fact, Horford has maintained his data at an average of 9+6+3 in the past three seasons. In other words, although it is 39 years old in the new season, it is difficult for this 2007 Tanhua Show to experience a cliff-like decline. Having certain combat power is one of them.

Three-pointers

To be precise, to be precise, since joining the Celtics for the second time, Horford's three-point shooting has accounted for about 61% and a three-point shooting rate of 39%. Obviously, three points are the main ending method and are very efficient.

The three-point efficiency is good, combined with the height of 208, it is a good space point. What it brings can open up space for Curry's attack. In the 24-25 season alone, Curry accounted for 8.3% of his shots came from the basket and 17.1% came from the near basket.

In addition, Horford's three-point assisted power during the same period was as high as 95.7%, which means that almost all the outside shots were from the takeover. Obviously, this can effectively convert Curry's pass into assists. The second thing is that good efficiency can share Curry's worries.

Organizational connection

In the past two seasons, we have rarely seen Horford become the team's offensive hub at a low post like Jokic and Sabonis Jr.

But this is more due to physical strength caused by age than to deteriorate ability. In fact, judging from the data that scored 6 assists against the Cavaliers and 8 assists against the Timberwolves, Horford still has an assist ability of 3+ per game. The existence of Horford after the invisible relay of the dream Green can also share the pressure of the organizational connection of Curry. The third is the ability to share the pressure of organizational connection in the warehouse.

In summary, the reason why Horford's arrival is a good thing for Curry is mainly reflected in the following three points:

1. Horford has certain combat power;

2. Horford's three-pointer can share Curry's offensive end;

3. Horford can share the pressure of Curry's organizational connection to a certain extent.

Relatively speaking, I think the second and third points are the main reasons.

First of all, even in the 22-year championship season, the Warriors are more likely to be in the top five position and Looney plays the fake starting No. 5 position. In other words, Cole has relatively low demand for center forward's immediate combat power.

Secondly, even though he is 36 years old, Curry is obviously still the "stabilizing needle" of the Warriors. And as I said just now, Horford can share the former's worries, whether in three points or organizational connection. Potentially, this will make Curry relatively easy to play. Relatively easy means that efficiency will improve certainly and reduce the occurrence of injuries.

Finally, although he is 39 years old, he has the ability to sign Horford with three-pointers.
