On December 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Warriors visited the Pacers' home, which is also the second stop of the Warriors' five consecutive aways. The game required a decisive battle until the last minute to win or lose, and the Warriors finally won a narrow victory of 102-100 with Looney's quasi-kill.
Warriors star Curry made 5 of 15 three-pointers today, with 26 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 turnovers, bringing his career total to 2,972 three-pointers. Curry and Ray Allen's all-time three-point record is only a three-point gap, which means that Curry is about to usher in the milestone of his career and create a new history just one step away.
Before the Warriors began a five-game streak, Curry was only nine three-pointers away from the record. With his average of 5.5 three-pointers per game this season, everyone thought he would break Ray Allen's record in Game 2 against the Pacers. Despite previous news, Curry may be in the Pacers' rotation, the record-breaking night will remain in the matchup with the Knicks. But Curry decided to play today. However, Curry "only" hit 8 three-pointers in these two games, and the suspense was accidentally postponed to the game against the Knicks.
Speaking of which, the Knicks' home stadium, Madison Garden Square, also has a lot of roots with Curry. Eight years ago, in the 12-13 season, Curry hit 11 three-pointers in this place's game and scored 54 points to complete a crazy individual scoring show. Although the Warriors failed to take the game victory in that game, Curry became famous for it. Curry has since shown excellent three-point range and star-point shooting to the outside world, gradually conquering fans with his own three-pointers. It can be said that many fans like Curry from that game. For a long time, 54 points was Curry's career high, and it wasn't until last season that he broke his personal record with 62 and 57 points per game.
Madison Garden Plaza, as the oldest home in the league, has always been loved by stars, countless stars here to leave unforgettable moments, but also known as the "Mecca" of stars. Anthony has scored 62 points here, Kobe Bryant has scored 61, James has twice contributed 50+ quasi-triple-doubles, and Jordan has twice given 50+ scoring shows. It seems to be a blessed place for the stars.
For Curry, it is absolutely significant that it can be crowned in this place and become the three-point king of history. After all, he became famous from here, and he can return to the place of his dreams to enjoy the cheers of the fans, adding a deep meaning to his milestone. It is reported that Curry's father will be present at the scene to witness his son's historic moment. The two top scorers in the league's history, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, are also rumored to be on the scene to witness a new history. Madison's Garden Plaza tickets are sold out tomorrow, and even the price of the hilltop seat will be 4 times more expensive than usual, which shows how much fans care about this historic moment.
Warriors coach Kerr laughed in today's post-game interview that he may be in the round of Curry tomorrow. I believe he would not dare to do so, or he would become the public enemy of the whole of New York City. Of course, it is not ruled out that Curry will not feel good tomorrow and will not be able to shoot three points in the whole game, which will delay his record-breaking night again. In any case, tomorrow we will all wait and see, let us witness the birth of a new history together.
