On February 21, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA All-Star Game began to compete, and in the first half of the game, Durant temporarily led James 94:93! Both sides contributed a lot of dunks and three-point performances from the outside, and it can be said that this half did not disappoint the fans, and also let the fans slowly forget the disappointment of the dunk contest!
Durant's best player in the first half was Embiid, who scored 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting and Booker also scored 16 points. The best James side played was Steven Curry, who played 14 minutes and 40 seconds, shooting 8 of 12 from the field and 8 of 11 from three-point range, with 24 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist!
Curry's eight three-pointers also set a new All-Star halftime three-point record, and it was really interesting that Curry played such a great All-Star performance in the city of Cleveland!
What's even more interesting is that Curry came on 6 minutes in the second quarter and shot 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, which is the key to James' ability to get the score back! In the second quarter, Curry hit three consecutive three-pointers, all of which were Passed by James to Curry, and Curry hit two consecutive long-range three-pointers and a bottom corner three-pointer. After curry's third shot, James directly turned around in advance to celebrate, which also reflected the tacit understanding between the two!
It can be said that these two people also have a very deep relationship, James was born in Akron Universal Medical Center in Akron, and only three years later, in the same hospital, Curry was also born! This also makes many people call James and Curry the son of Akron, and this all-star three consecutive matches can also be said to be Akron connections!
