Finally, the moment came, and Steven Curry became the NBA's all-time three-pointer, at Madison Garden, a basketball mecca full of meaning. Everyone knows that this position will eventually belong to Stephen Curry, but people will still feel incredible for this moment, and they will still be proud of being the experiencers. That's the charm Steven Curry gave to the sport of basketball, he became an epoch-making player who subverted people's perceptions.
However, no matter how great the record, it also needs to be set off by winning, fortunately, in this game, the Warriors beat the Knicks, which made Curry's record so perfect. The Warriors won, 105-96, it was not easy to win, Steven Curry's personal performance, and not perfect enough, 8 of 19 shots, 5 of 14 three-pointers, only 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, using Curry's personal performance this season to measure this game, should be unqualified.
But people should know that because the record is in front of them, there will be no team willing to be the background board, and every NBA player, even a role player, is an absolute genius in their lives. Therefore, they will try to limit Curry, even if they let go of other players, they must defend Curry, which is why, these games, Curry's data is not so good. However, looking at the plus-minus, Curry +13 is still the first in the team.
That's Stephen Curry's magic, he can always help the team, even if he feels cold, he can also give the team a huge help. In order to let Curry break the record in Madison Garden, Kerr is also well-intentioned, directly let Curry play as a point guard, and Poole play as an organizational guard, so that Curry can score more points and shoot three-point shots.
Derek Rose, by contrast, is less dazzling. To put it mildly, Ross is 7 months younger than Curry, but Steven Curry is still at his peak, and he has become a role player for a team. Everyone had wondered where Rose's peak would have been without injuries, but that had become a beautiful story that would never have come true. Even so, and there are many fans hoping that Rose can dream back to the top, but the truth is, he can't go back.
Rose himself admits that he can't go back, and now he has become another player. In this game against the Warriors, Rose started 34 minutes and had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, including 3-of-4 three-pointers. Today, Rose has become a great three-pointer, an old passer, a top defender, a top free thrower and, of course, an efficient role player. Whether it's the stats or the style of play, Rose acknowledges the fact that role players are.
Derrick Rose, from the youngest MVP, has gone through years of hardships and injuries, and has become an authentic 3D player, and the Warriors' champion Wiggins, in the quiet years, has also become a 3D player. Wiggins, who has the title of human 18-point essence, scored 18 more points in this game, including 3 of 6 three-pointers. In the first half, Wiggins only scored 5 points, but in the second half, he scored 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting, and once again successfully clocked in to work.
So far this season, Wiggins's three-point shooting rate is 40.8, Rose is 40.7, the two can be described as comparable, coupled with the elite level of defense in their respective positions, two champions, can be said to have reached the same destination, but the road traveled, completely different.
