On December 23, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In last week's Warriors win over the Knicks, Curry completed his overtaking of Ray Allen and officially topped the NBA's all-time three-point throne. As of today, Curry has hit a total of 2,986 three-pointers in his career, and after surpassing Ray Allen, every time he hits a three-pointer, he is setting a new NBA record held by himself.
Compared with other famous three-point shooters in history, Curry's three-point shot has an "unrepeatable" nature, and he has also driven the obsession of the entire NBA and even the basketball community for three-pointers. In a recent interview, Warriors coach Kerr revealed one thing.
While watching videos of teenagers playing basketball, Kerr said, "About seven consecutive offenses, these 10-something kids have chosen to shoot three-pointers. So I turned to Curry and said, 'Stephen, it's all your fault.' Look at these young players who are playing now, whether they're 10, 21 or 19, or players who have just entered the NBA, every one of them wants to start with three points, and Curry may have changed the game forever. ”
Kerr then continued: "But for me, I like the way Curry plays, he's very educated, and he can set the tone for the Warriors with three-pointers. He's the face of our team and I'm really lucky to coach him! ”
Interestingly, at the beginning of the season, Curry turned around directly after a three-point shot to celebrate, and basketball had not yet entered the basket, which became one of Curry's famous scenes this season. One basketball coach said on social media that he hoped the kids wouldn't learn curry (turn around immediately after the shot) and only do it after a thousand training sessions like Curry. Curry responded: "Thank you for your love, brother, I totally agree with you! ”
So far this season, Curry has averaged 27.1 points per game (league 3rd), 5.4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting 43.2 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from three-point range, hitting 154 three-pointers (league no. 1) and averaging 5.3 three-pointers per game (no. 1 in the league), and the Warriors are currently in second place in the West with 25 wins and six losses.
