The Warriors narrowly beat the Pacers 102-100 on the road, and Curry continued the sluggish efficiency of recent games. Faced with a record of historical three-point kings close at hand, Curry is a bit lost. In recent games, his shooting percentage has deteriorated, and although there are many three-point shots, the overall performance is mediocre.
Curry's loss includes the following 3 different reasons. Every opponent does not want to be Curry's background board, so the crazy bag restriction gives him more defensive pressure; the outside world's expectation and chase for Curry's imminent summit, the attention of media fans has added a lot of pressure to Curry; Curry's own mentality fluctuates, and he also has a little joy at this historical moment.
Although it was an away game, Curry was only 7 points away from surpassing Ray Allen's all-time record, so many fans wearing Curry jerseys came to watch the game. The Pacers' away game seems to have been conquered by Curry fans.
At the beginning of the game, the Pacers guarded Curry tightly, determined not to give the opponent an easy chance to score. In the first half, Curry ran wildly, looking for shooting opportunities, but with only 2-of-7 three-pointers, the Warriors' offense was blocked and they were behind at halftime.
In the second half, Curry got an empty three-point opportunity after working with his teammates to block and dismantle, and he took the knife in his hand and scored the third three-pointer of the game. At 1 minute and 56 seconds in the third quarter, Curry braked sharply and suddenly hit a large step beyond the three-point line, hitting the opponent by surprise.
With 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the final quarter, the Warriors were at one point passive and nearly lost. Sabonis scored on a layup and the Pacers led 100-95. But at 1 minute and 24 seconds, Curry stopped singles sabonis's three-point shot, just one three-pointer away from equalizing Ray Allen.
In the next round of attack, Curry held the ball at the top of the arc, and the fans boiled over and stood up to watch the game, and many fans directly took out their mobile phones and prepared to take pictures of this historic moment. However, Curry made a false shot, did not find a chance on the outside, and chose to storm the basket and tie the score. The cheers of the fans, a little regretful, but a pity.
Of course, Curry hasn't tried. At 18.2 seconds, he was also forced to shoot three points, but unfortunately did not hit. Luckily, Looney made a basket and the Warriors won the game. In the whole game, Curry shot 8 of 20, 5 of 15 three-pointers, got 26 points, 6 boards and 6 assists, and 7 turnovers, and the play can only be said to be decent. At present, Curry has hit 2972 three-pointers, which is only one goal away from Ray Allen's 2973 three-pointers.
Fans look forward to witnessing the moment of history, but fate has left the legend to Madison. Fans who buy tickets to watch the Warriors vs. Pacers will probably have to continue to pay a lot of money for the next game against New York.
