Curry’s CCTV interview is so bold! Talk about KD’s ambition to join, face up to the regrets of FMVP, and cry after watching the 22-year winning championship

This summer, Stephen Curry's trip to China has set off a wave of crazes, and his guest on CCTV host Yu Jia's "Jia You Talk" program has become the focus of fans' attention.

In this relaxed but profound conversation, Curry lost his edge on the court and frankly shared the key career choices, the regrets and touches behind the championship, the power given by his family, and the thoughts on the inheritance of basketball, allowing the audience to see the temperature and depth of a superstar outside of competition.

Talking about Durant's past joining the Golden State Warriors, Yu Jia raised a question about "ambition". Curry's answer was direct and firm: "Of course, we want to continue to attack the championship. Durant also has this vision. He came to the team because he knew that he could play happily and have hope to compete for the championship, not just one."

This common goal eventually turned into two championship trophys and became an important mark of the Warriors dynasty. Curry never shys around the topic of the finals MVP (FMVP) in those two years - after all, the Warriors have entered the finals for four consecutive years and won the championship in three consecutive years, and the discussion of personal awards has always been with them.

"I really can't escape this topic, it is always in front of you," Curry admitted, "In 2018, I thought I was very close to FMVP, but I didn't play well in the third game. Durant performed incredible throughout the finals and must have been on the shortlist of FMVP."

He emphasized that if he was too obsessed with personal awards, he would be distracted and affected the team: "I was almost distracted in 2018, but of course I would rather win the championship ring and maintain the hope of winning the championship." For Durant's two FMVP trophys, Curry not only recognized him as "deserved", but also said bluntly that "

far exceeds his well-deserved level", and also mentioned with regret: "If he had 2019 If he is not injured in a year, he may get a third one. "This respect for his teammates and his emphasis on the team are the key to his ability to lead the team to glory.

Compared with the successive championships during the dynasty period, the 2022 championship has a completely different significance to Curry. "It was an amazing year, everything happened in that year," Curry's eyes were filled with emotion when he recalled. "I think the 22-year finals were a relief for me, just like the dormant years you mentioned, achieving the achievements of life hard work. (After that) everything suddenly became clear, life was back on track, children, wife, family, etc. I also graduated from Davidson." In the show, when the camera replayed the moment of winning the 2022 championship, Curry even unconsciously wiped tears in the corner of his eyes, and this moving touched him open the box about family. Facing Jia's question "The children are grown up now", he whispered: "They are no longer what they were like."

and then said seriously: "Without family members, you can't do anything successful. They have given you life goals and have a reason to do anything - because they are looking at me, I need to set an example, and support them unconditionally no matter what they do in the end." He mentioned his four children and his wife who always accompanied him: "Although I have trophies and other honors, time with my family is more important." In these words, there was no halo of a superstar, only the warmth of a father and a husband.

In addition to his career and family, Curry also talked about his bond with basketball. When he saw the children wearing his jerseys to imitate three-point moves in the show, he couldn't hide his gratitude: "I feel that the children have watched my game and do these moves, which is the greatest praise for me."

Curry admitted that he was also a "light chaser" - he grew up watching NBA seniors' games, imitating Iverson's "Butterfly Walking Flowers" dribbling, Nash's agile back pass, and Reggie Miller's off-ball run. "I learned the advantages of all these guys, and now my playing style is also inspiring the next generation of players and their imaginations, which is crazy." From imitator to imitator, Curry has completed the inheritance of basketball spirit with his career.

Of course, Curry's basketball journey was not smooth. When talking about his experience of losing the championship in 2016, he admitted that it was a painful memory: "That summer was painful and sad, and no one would like that summer." But this setback did not defeat him, but became the fuel for progress: "It will inspire me to return to the stadium and continue to work hard." It was this resilience that never gave up in the trough that made him stand up again and again in doubt.

Now, Curry has entered a new stage of his career, but his pursuit of high-level competition has never cooled down. Talking about the new season, he was full of fighting spirit: "The career stage I am in is actually redefining high-level competition. At this age, I have maintained a high-level competitive state for a long time in the past season, avoiding some serious injuries and absences, but the time of injury in the playoffs was very unfortunate."

He also faced the reality of the team's "overall age is too old", believing that "something may have to be changed", but at the same time set a goal: "I am still very confident that I can play in 82 regular season games and show my best self when the playoffs come, and I will prove this."

From persistence in the championship, to indifference to personal awards; from warmth given by family, to responsibility for inheritance of basketball; from tenacity in the trough, to determination in the future— Every sentence Curry shared in "Jiayoutan" allows us to see a more realistic and three-dimensional superstar. He not only changed basketball with three-pointers, but also used his own character to interpret "greatness" and not only on the court.
