On January 16, Beijing time, in the regular season match between the Nets and the Pelicans, Harden scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists in the first 40 minutes of the debut, and in the case of the team leader Durant leaving the court early due to injury, Harden led the team to a 120:105 home victory over the Pelicans, thus avoiding the Nets from suffering a regular season losing streak. It is worth mentioning that this game is also of great significance to Harden, harden in this campaign of 5 three-pointers 2, he is now with 4459 three-pointers, successfully shake off the NBA star Ray Allen to sit on the league's historical three-pointer iron throne.
In addition to harden, the nets' main star, the league has two players who are active in the three-point iron number is also ranked in the top 10 in history, and these two are Warriors star Curry and Lakers star James. As the NBA league player who hit the most three-pointers, Curry has conceded a total of 4,016 three-pointers in his NBA career so far. However, considering Curry's high number of three-point shots, coupled with the defensive pressure he faces, the number of such three-point hits is obviously already very good.
As for James, who is currently leading the Lakers, he has also improved his shooting from outside the three-point line in recent years, and James's average three-point shots per game this season have reached 7.9 times. Therefore, James's three-point iron strikes have also soared rapidly, and now James has accumulated 3916 three-point hits. For now, James's career three-pointers will eventually be able to break through 4,000+, surpassing most of the top scorers in NBA league history.
Because Harden chose to partner Durant and Irving to form a big three lineup, so Harden's three-point shots have actually been significantly reduced, compared to the Rockets' peak season average of 13.2 three-pointers per game, and now Harden is the Nets is the 7.2 three-point shots of the season, considering that Irving is also returning from the road now, I believe harden's number of shots will probably be further reduced. Curry is handing over a career-high average of 12.8 three-point attempts per game this season, plus Curry's current three-point shooting feel is also relatively cold and poor, so Curry is actually chasing Harden's three-point iron record!
