The All-Star Game continued today, with LeBron winning 163-160 over Durant.
In today's game, Curry became the brightest star in the game, playing 36 minutes, 17 of 30, 16 of 27 three-pointers, and had 50 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Because Curry belongs to the LeBron team, he also became the All-Star MVP without suspense, which is the first time in his personal career that he has won an All-Star MVP.
In particular, this season's All-Star was held in Cleveland, the home of the Cavaliers, while the Warriors have beaten the Cavaliers three times before to win the championship. For Curry, it also makes sense to get an All-Star MVP at home for the Cavaliers.
In the first half, Curry made 8-of-11 three-pointers, just one step away from the 2016 All-Star Game record of nine three-pointers set by Paul George. In the first three quarters, Curry hit a total of 15 three-pointers, and only shot 21 times, and the shooting rate was quite high, of course, this is also because the first three quarters of the game were basically undefended.
It is worth mentioning that the NBA regular season single-game three-point shooting record is Thompson's 14 three-pointers, while Curry's career record is 13, and in today's All-Star Game, Curry both set a new record. Although the reference value of the All-Star Game is not large, it is enough to show that at the right time, Curry is fully capable of breaking Thompson's record.
Unfortunately, in the final quarter, Curry's hand slipped and he only hit a three-pointer. In the end, Curry hit a total of 16 three-pointers in the whole game, which not only greatly refreshed George's record, but also broke the All-Star total three-point shooting record.
After counting today's 16 three-pointers, Curry's personal All-Star Game three-point shooting number reached 47, surpassing Harden (39) and James (40) to rise to the first place in history, and James just surpassed Harden and rose to the first. You know, James hit 18 All-Stars to hit so many three-pointers, and Curry hit 16 in one game today.
Before the game, Curry said that he would donate $1,000 for every point he scored, $3,000 for every three points he scored, and 10,000 if he could get the AMVP, so curry would donate a total of $108,000. Perhaps it is also because of this commitment before the game, Curry today, in the presence of the seventy-five superstars, played a historic performance.
