Curry will also usher in a milestone record after officially surpassing Ray Allen to become the league's all-time new three-pointer king, currently he has hit 154 consecutive three-pointers in 154 games, the second longest record in the league's history, and the first place is himself, who once set an epic record of 157 consecutive three-point shots in three seasons from November 13, 2014 to November 3, 2016. Considering that Korver, who is in third place, has only 127 consecutive times, it is enough to see how terrible Curry's record is.
In other words, with 4 games to go, Curry can set another new three-point record in the league and make himself famous. The Warriors will then face the Grizzlies, Suns, and Nuggets (two games), and the fourth game is just on December 31, so if Curry can continue his "routine operation" of hitting three-pointers in the first three games, it will also end the year with a new record on the last day of 2021, but it is a little regrettable that Warriors fans cannot witness this new record on their home court, because that game happens to be away to the Nuggets, which will start in Denver Highlands And in the previous game, when Curry tied his own record of hitting three consecutive three-point games, Warriors fans could witness it at the Chase Center.
In fact, in this 2021 that is about to pass, for Curry, it is indeed a year worth remembering, this year he has gained, but also had regrets, and life really needs to be filled with these sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, to be perfect. In last season (20-21), Curry returned perfectly from injury, and at the age of 32, he handed over a career-best statistic of averaging 32 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, becoming the league's oldest scoring champion after Michael Jordan, and these 32 points also set a career-high scoring record for Curry. Give a resounding slap in the face to those who questioned his fall from the altar. Unfortunately, Curry failed to help the Warriors make it to the playoffs and was eliminated in the second game of the playoffs against the Grizzlies.
And this season for Curry, is definitely the best proof of his return to the king, after reaching a 4-year 215 million super salary extension with the team in the offseason, Curry also continues to maintain his strong output on the offensive end, although the state has declined recently, but throughout the season, Curry can still score 27.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6 assists, including scoring a high in the league, second only to Trae Young and Durant. In the away game against the Knicks on December 15, Curry also successfully broke his dream record for three-point shots in league history at Madison Gardens, a basketball mecca, surpassing Ray Allen's 2,973 times and officially crowning himself the three-point king.
After losing this psychological baggage, Curry's three-point feeling still seems to have not been recovered, and the three-point shooting rate in the next two games has not reached 40%, only 5 of 14 and 4 of 12, respectively, and it is precisely because of his sluggish performance in the period of mid-to-late December that Curry's three-point shooting rate has fallen by 39.6%, which is the second time in his career after the 19-20 season that the shooting rate is less than 40%.
For a 33-year-old veteran, it is normal for the state to fluctuate, and I hope that After Curry successfully broke another three-point record in the game on December 31, he can find his due fiery hand in 2022 and lead the Warriors to continue to cut through the thorns!
