Curry has officially surpassed Ray Allen this season to become the player with the most three-point shots in history, and this season, although many of the league's top shooters since the league advocated the new rules have now been affected, far less than in previous seasons, and Curry seems to be the last stubbornness of the small-ball era, he has averaged 4.9 three-pointers per game so far this season, the league's first, three-point shooting rate is as high as 38.4% very good.
Curry has hit 192 three-pointers so far this season, and the Warriors' schedule is only halfway through, so if Curry's three-point shooting exceeds 300 this season, it is not much pressure, and it may even hit the 400 mark. And the history of a single season hit the most three-pointers is Curry, a single season 402, want to hit 400 three-pointers in a single season is very difficult, not to mention 400, in fact, 300 is difficult to complete.
Do you know how difficult it is to hit 300 three-pointers in a single season? Let's make a hypothesis that if a player is fully attendance in 82 games, then he needs to average 3.7 three-pointers per game to do it, and now the only people in the league who can meet this standard are Van Jordan and Curry, but who can guarantee full attendance for the season? Otherwise, there would not have been only 2 people in history who have hit 300 three-pointers in a single season, and if a player counts 75 games in the season, he needs to average 4 hits per game to reach the target, which is undoubtedly more difficult.
So who in history has ever hit 300 three-pointers in a single season? Let's take a look.
Curry
Just now we said that Curry hit 402 three-pointers in a single season, which also set a historical record, and this year can be said to be Curry's harvest year, that is, the 15-16 season, this year Curry's three-point total of 886 shots 402, shooting a high of 45.4%, and this season he only hit 805 shots, three points accounted for almost half! This year, Curry also won the scoring king with unsolvable three points, and also led the team to an excellent record of 73 wins and 9 losses, while Curry won the MVP unanimously in this year, the only one in history.
A single season is enough, and Curry since entering the peak of his career, as long as it is a relatively healthy season, his three-point shooting number has exceeded 300, last year hit 337, 19 hit 354, 17 hit 324, 20 years he is almost season reimbursement, 18 years Curry missed 31 games, otherwise it is not difficult for him to hit 300 + three-pointers in terms of his ability, and Curry's career so far 42.9% of the three-point shooting rate is even more terrible.
Everyone has seen Curry's defensive treatment, saying that he is the best player to destroy the opponent's defensive formation is not exaggerated, the Raptors even used the Box-1 tactics in order to limit Curry, but even so Curry's three-pointer is still very scary, saying that he is the best three-point shooter in history, it is estimated that there is no doubt now, only two people in history have done 300 + three points in a single season, Curry has done 4 times is really too scary.
Harden
After seeing that the first person is Curry, who do you think the second person is? Is it Gentleman Ray or Reggie Miller? No, because in their time, although they were the two best shooters in history, the three-pointer was not the main weapon of destruction until the arrival of the small-ball era, and D'Antoni invented the magic ball tactics, relying on a large number of three-pointers and breakthroughs, reducing inefficient shooting, so that the way to optimize the offense is also to create another player who hits 300+ three-pointers in a single season.
Harden hit a total of 378 three-pointers in the 18-19 season, only 22 points away from 400, Harden in 19 can be said to have slaughtered the whole league with excellent personal performance, he can average 36.1 points per game this season, the highest average score per game in a single season since Jordan, because the impact of the magic ball This season Harden's three-point crazy shots 1028 times, the entire season three-point shooting rate of 36.8%, although not as efficient as Curry, but also not bad.
Harden's three-point shooting number has now come to the fourth in history, second only to Curry, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller is very good, and Harden can hit 380 + three-pointers in a single season, mainly because in addition to the large number of three-point shots we just mentioned, he has played 78 games this season, only missed 4 regular season games, if these 4 games are also played, maybe Harden will reach 400 three-pointers, Harden career three-point shooting rate of 36%, although not top,but also good, his 300+ Three points are earned by a large number of shots.
