In the midst of all the attention, this season's All-Star Weekend came to an end. LeBron narrowly beat Durant 163-160 to achieve a five-game winning streak in the All-Star Game. As two superstars who came out of Akron, Curry and James are pretty bright in this game.
Curry scored a game-high 50 points on 17-of-30 shooting, broke the All-Star single-game three-point shooting record with 16 three-pointers, and picked up the first AMVP trophy of his career after the game. Although James felt mediocre in the first few quarters of the game, he was unusually brave in the final moments, killing his opponent with a wonderful back-up jump shot and firmly grasping the victory in his hand.
In the post-match interview, the two superstars also felt sorry for each other and gave each other high praise. Speaking about James' kill, Curry said: "I got the mvp, I played well all night, and he threw in the kill. Our past encounters, Akron's story, are all in the game, and I really don't want to say anything else, I can only say perfect, I can't play it in any other way. ”
James, too, praised Curry, calling them as if they were from another planet.
"Look, Stephen, this guy seems to be from another planet. His arm is like an automatic sight, and once he makes a shot, he himself, the audience on the sidelines, the viewers in front of the TV, and the viewers watching the live broadcast, all believe that the goal will be scored. He's sometimes 9-of-10, sometimes 10-of-10, and it's unbelievable to see this kid from Akron playing in this way. ”
As the short All-Star Weekend draws to a close, both James and Curry will return to their respective teams for the rest of the regular season. Some fans joked that LeBron's Curry experience card has expired, and he will return to Los Angeles next, and it will be Westbrook who will fight with him, who has only shot 29.3% of three-point shooting this season.
