Those great historical moments always need footnotes, and when Ray Allen overtook Reggie Miller a decade ago, there was a Kobe on the court. Ten years later, when Curry overtook Ray Allen, the man standing on the field was Rose.
Bryant doesn't look like the kind of guy who applauds opponents on the court, especially since Ray Allen has been his nemesis in the Finals over the past few years. Yesterday's Rose, after Curry scored three points, silently applauded him during the suspension.
Although all the attention yesterday was on Curry, someone noticed Rose in the corner. I believe that all people who see this scene will feel a little sad, crying will not be, and the feeling is certain.
Rose said after the game: "It's cool! Curry made history and it's cool to be able to witness it all. Breaking records at Madison Square Garden, that's what fate was all about. ”
Rose has also experienced such moments, and it didn't take long, three years ago when Rose soared 50 points, he also enjoyed such a moment of being in the limelight. Curry's moments came naturally, and Rose's moments were not expected by anyone.
So if you asked me if I liked that moment better, I would definitely choose Rose. The feeling of witnessing Rose return to the top is indescribable, no one can go back in time, but Ross did it that night.
But even the most die-hard Rose fans don't see this as a turning point in Rose's career, thinking that Rose is beginning to find his former self. Whether it's in the Timberwolves or the Pistons or now the Knicks, Rose is at ease as a role player, not contentious or even a little sad.
Probably because he has experienced too many things, Now Rose is becoming more and more Buddhist, of course, Rose will not show too much emotion on the field. The expressionless face when the bull killed the heat may not have been pretended by him.
Yesterday he applauded Curry, and Ross should have been happy for Curry in his heart. Curry and he are contemporaries, Rose is the leader of 08, Curry entered the league in 2009, but Curry is even more than six months older than Rose.
When Rose began to be the best player in the league in his third year, Curry was still suffering from an ankle injury at the Warriors. When Curry became famous in Madison, Rose collapsed and never reached the heights he once was.
Now many people will say that if Rose is not because of injuries, it is still unknown whether Curry can become the league's first point guard. One of these two people leads the trend by relying on the anti-heaven shooting technique, and the other breaks through everything by relying on amazing physical fitness.
Unfortunately, the peaks of these two people never coincided, and even we don't know what Rose's real peak looks like, the rose has withered before it has fully bloomed, and we don't have a chance to see how beautiful it can be.
Now that the 33-year-old Curry is still leading the MVP list, the 33-year-old Rose has been at ease to make a flag under Thibodeau. Thibodeau let him play where he wanted to play, he played in whatever position.
Curry's 5-of-14 three-pointer yesterday is hard to call good by his standards. And Rose quietly Mimi also shot three three-pointers, and the 3-of-4 shooting rate is not unusual for Rose this season.
In his second year with the Knicks, Rose averaged 12.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, shooting the same career-best from 41 percent three-point range as he did last season. Rose has been improving himself in the past few years, but not before or dazzling.
When we lament that the 33-year-old Curry is still making history, we don't forget to silently applaud Rose in the corner. God abandoned him, but He never gave up on Himself.
