On March 11, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in a focus battle, with Philadelphia hosting the Nets. In addition to harden and Irving Durant, and Embiid and Ben Simmons, Harden personally has a chance to set a record!
Harden previously hit 2,560 three-pointers, the same as Reggie Miller's three-point shots, tied for third all-time. In this game, he singled Irving at 45 degrees on the right and broke the record with a signature step-back three-pointer to enjoy the third place in NBA history!
At present, Harden is still more than 400 three-pointers away from ray Allen in front, or it will take a certain amount of time to complete the overtaking, with Harden currently averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game, he should have more than 100 games to surpass Allen, and it may take two seasons or so, and there are more than five hundred three-pointers from the front Curry, and Curry's record is still continuing, and harden wants to surpass Curry is unlikely! Previously, Harden also publicly said that he could not catch up with Curry's record!
Judging from this first three-pointer, Harden's hand in this game is still good, there should be an opportunity to lead Philadelphia to threaten the Nets, in such a focus battle, the star's play will be crucial! Harden and Embiid should have no disadvantage against Irving and Durant, as said before the game, the four most difficult to defend in the league are now on the court at the same time!
