Welcome to Rain Say Sports, today the Warriors defeated the New York Knicks, Curry hit his second three-pointer in the first quarter of the game, and at the same time, he was also the 2974th three-pointer of his career, surpassing Ray Allen and becoming the NBA's all-time three-pointer king.
As the ball was scored, the fans cheered and thundered, and Curry himself threw punches and roared to release the emotions that had been accumulated for several days. After all, even Curry, there will be fluctuations in the heart, the pressure of public opinion before, the expectations of countless fans, so that Curry also wants to complete the transcendence faster, at this moment the burden on his shoulders is unloaded.
At the same time, Curry looks back on his career, this way from the green years to the current 33-year-old stadium "old man", he may not have imagined that he would play so many miracles at the beginning, after embracing Green, Curry can't help but leave tears. As he did when he was first crowned MVP in 2015, he is still trying to cover up his reddened eyes with some extra body movements, trying to leave a gritty image to the outside world.
Before Allen surpassed Reggie Miller when I should have watched the live broadcast, when the Green Army vs Lakers, Allen also had a historic hug with Miller, which also attracted a lot of public attention, but to be honest, the outside world felt that this was just a data accumulation in a certain technical field, and there was nothing too obvious about the epoch-making significance of the NBA game, the reason was that the three-point shot at that time was not considered to have much connection with the superstar.
At that time, the three-point game was often attended by some role players, and the dunk contest was far more concerned than the three-point contest. Looking closely at the representative leading figures in the three-point field, it is nothing more than Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, and these two are enough to be stars, but they are really not enough to be real superstars. And in the players behind them? Most of them are like Steve Cole, Fisher, Robert Horry, Kyle Korver and others, and there is no doubt that most of them are role players.
This was the three-point shot at that time, James, Kobe, Jordan, Iverson, Maddy these outside stars no one is based on three-pointers, three-point technology in their offensive technology composition only occupies a small proportion, which is not to blame fans for three-point shooting is not very interested, after all, this is not a superstar standard, even in the anime, we can think of more has been transformed into role players Mitsui Shou, rather than Ryukawa Kaede Sakuragi and other protagonists, even the status of three-point shots is not necessarily higher than grabbing rebounds, The name of the rebounding king seems to be louder.
But look at it now? With Curry reaching the Finals for five consecutive years, winning three championships and winning two MVPs, the environment in the league was different, and the league began to notice the huge value of three-pointers, especially the three-point long-range shots with the ball. Young players have also begun to practice a lot of three-point ability to hold the ball, so that the NBA pattern is volatile, tactical and strategic ideas are iterated, and many players who can't keep up with the pace of the times can't afford to play again even if they play full data.
For example, Westbrook, his current average data per game is still excellent, still a three-double macho, but the Lakers now intend to trade him, not because he has bad data, but because he does not have a three-point threat, especially the threat of holding the ball. In today's era, because the opponents have evolved, too many of the opponent's core defenders have the ability to hold the ball and shoot long-range, so it seems that the macho man is outdated, even if he gets three doubles on the field, it is difficult to change the fact that the significance of winning and losing is very limited.
All of this, can not be said to be brought by Curry, but Curry is the most important key figure to drive the trend of history, he let the three-pointer and the superstar begin to be closely linked, if you are a guard, in the future want to become a superstar, then holding the ball three points is indispensable in the new era. This time Curry became the three-point king of history, not only his personal glory, but also the glory of the three-pointer itself, this technology got rid of the previous sense of role, and truly had the feeling of a superstar.
Congratulations to Curry for breaking the record, and hopefully he will lead the Warriors to continue to rush forward and harvest more glory moments!
