Today, the San Francisco wind blows into New York, the aroma of popcorn fills the Madison Gardens, and the three-point list ushers in its new king.
12 years ago, Curry was selected by the NBA to start his career here, and 8 years ago Curry scored 11 three-pointers in Madison Square Garden, scoring 54 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, and taking the first 50+ of his career.
Today, he is still in the holy land of basketball, a place that attracts the attention of thousands of people to become the king of history.
In the darkness, there is providence.
The Knicks, who picked the 8th overall pick in 2009, missed Curry because of the Warriors' interception.
But today, Knicks fans, didn't miss Curry in making new history.
This time, there was no Fark, only congratulations.
From this moment on, Curry will no longer climb other people's peaks, everything will be a brand new landscape. Every three-pointer he makes after that will be a new record, and each of us will be a witness to history.
When Curry completed this milestone, Digo had a few things to say:
First, closer, this is the release of stress.
Curry's recent game has played quite awkwardly.
In the six games before today, he has shot a total of 124 times, including 86 three-pointers, accounting for 69% of the total shooting, and shooting 36% from three-point range.
This is not the familiar Curry day, and the Warriors' record has also had some ups and downs. Maybe everyone will say that he should calm his mind, and that day will come sooner or later.
That's what a saint can do.
It's like, you've spent years chasing your own goddess and about to enter the marriage hall with her. In the time before you got married, could you be at peace inside?
It's like, you put in a long period of effort to go to graduate school, and soon you will have results, can you calm your mind?
Neither.
The same is true, when Curry unloads this burden, I believe he will rethink his way of playing, return to the familiar state, including his teammates, and do not need to think about deliberately creating three-point opportunities for Curry...
Second, there is no need to compare.
Curry is Curry, Ray Allen is Ray Allen, and now fans don't need to deliberately compare who is greater. Digo also never liked to talk about the so-called historical status issue.
Curry is the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history, there's no doubt about it. But whether it's Gentleman Ray or Reggie Miller, they're just as great.
In many cases, when we compare some things, we must consider the era in which we live. The performance of the players cannot be separated from the whole environment.
The defense is different, the offensive rhythm is different, and the rules are constantly being modified...
If you really look at the games of that era, you'll see that Ray Allen was also an extremely great goalscorer.
And in Curry's growth process, in the field of three-point shooting, Junzi Ray is also his benchmark.
Allen's achievements were achieved in an era of emphasis on confrontation and low standards for outside whistles, while Curry set a new record in the era of small balls that gave priority to outside tactics.
So, congratulations curry is done, don't think about it all day.
The third point, and the one I feel most emotionally, is that Curry has changed this era.
The era superstar player who led the small ball play, the word "Curry" will be synonymous with the three-point shot in the future, and it will forever enter the history of basketball.
He changed the concept of traditional basketball, widened the boundaries of the sport, ushered in the three-point era, and made "shooting like Curry" a trend.
That's one thing better than being the three-point king of history.
Maybe one day in the future, Curry will also become today's Ray Allen, giving hugs and blessings to a certain junior, and his three-point shooting will be surpassed by the next generation of players.
However, there are not many superstars in the NBA, but there are only a few players who can really change the development of the sport.
Neither James nor Durant can be like Curry to push the tide of the whole league to change the way the sport plays.
We always like to find templates for players, but Curry you really can't find them. There are no ancients before, and it is difficult to have come after.
He defines this new era of basketball.
On this point, I think the expression of the Notian King is very reasonable:
Curry has changed the shooting range and shooting choices of the younger generation, and we now see players shooting in midfield and shooting when there is space, which was never seen in my time when I first entered the league.
Digo clearly remembers that in Game 7 of the 09-10 Finals, the Game where the Lakers beat the Celtics, the Purple and Gold Army only hit four 3-pointers.
If it's this outside line, now you don't have to think about winning the championship... This is a very obvious change.
And the driver of change is definitely Steven Curry.
No one could have imagined that after graduating from high school, the player who was rejected by a prestigious university, the glass man who was thin and injured for several seasons in a row, could change the style of world basketball on his own.
You may say that Curry let the era of small ball come, so that the NBA did not have the previous hand-to-hand combat lack of many wonderful, but you can't deny that the hidden flood energy under this skinny body, and the strong heart also brought us a lot of shock and wonder.
So, whether you're a fan of his or not, it doesn't matter. It's important that you objectively acknowledge that he's an epoch-making player.
How many old fans will make this feeling after watching Curry's game: "Basketball can still be played like this?" This is not reasonable! ”
But here in Kuritian, that's reasonable. I think, this is the unparalleled Curry.
