Today, the Golden State Warriors sat at home to welcome the Challenge of the Denver Nuggets, and this game can be said to be full of meaning.
Stephen Curry has surpassed Ray Allen as the player in NBA history who hit the most three-pointers in the regular season and used far fewer games than Ray Allen. As a result, Curry is already an epoch-making three-point shooter, which makes people have to admit his historical position.
Next, every three-pointer Curry scored was making history, and he became more relaxed and calm. Against the Nuggets today, Curry scored 23 points, four rebounds and four assists, shooting 5-of-14 from beyond the three-point line. This shooting percentage doesn't look high, but it's actually nothing too special for Curry, who has such a shot in the Warriors.
But the Warriors' athletics in this game are very bad, the feeling on the offensive end is missing, and the shooting rate of the whole game is only 42.3%, and the three-point shooting rate is as low as 31.3%. Although Wiggins returned, the offensive feeling was still a little worse, and Otto Porter, who returned to the bench, was in a stateless state, playing 25 minutes without scoring.
After hitting five three-pointers in the game, Curry has hit more than 3,000 three-pointers in his NBA career, making him the only player in NBA history to shoot 3,000 three-pointers. However, on such a milestone night, Curry and the Warriors failed to win, and they struggled to score points throughout the game, but they failed, and eventually lost to the Nuggets 86-89.
The Warriors are now also in a period of fatigue, many players on the team have been suspended for triggering the NBA's health and safety agreement, the lineup is not neat, and the combat effectiveness is insufficient. But that doesn't stop Curry from becoming the strongest shooter in NBA history.
