On April 19, Beijing time, when Curry continued to be arranged to play as a substitute, even if he was limited to less than 23 minutes of playing time, Curry was efficient 12 of 17, including 5 of 10 three points and 5 of 7 free throws, and efficiently obtained 34 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block of all-round data, with a plus-minus value +32 in the game, leading the Warriors to win the Nuggets to take a 2-0 overall lead.
It is worth mentioning that Curry has created a number of records:
First, Curry reached the 3,000-point milestone in his playoff career, becoming the first person in Warriors history.
Second, Curry became the 27th man in history with 3,000 points in the playoffs, and the fourth person in the active game after James, Durant and Harden.
Third, Curry playoffs at least 3,000 points + 450 three points, becoming the first person in history.
Still questioning the Warriors' ability to compete for the title this season? Even if Curry chases the big three in turn to be injured, especially Curry suffered injuries again at the end of the regular season, Curry who returned from the playoffs is still extremely inexplicable. Warriors coach Kerr has arranged for Curry to play on the bench, and he has played as a substitute in two consecutive playoff games, but it has not affected Curry's performance.
After Curry scored 16 points on 5-of-5 of 13 in the last playoff game, he had a big explosion in this playoff game, which is also a performance that belongs to the superstar to dominate the playoffs. Curry played 6:32 off the bench in the first quarter, and he scored 5 points on 2-of-4 shooting, which is still in the debugging stage.
However, entering the second quarter, Curry was still arranged to play only half a quarter, but he was extremely efficient in 4 of 5 in a single quarter, not only hitting two three-pointers from the outside, but also continuing to score from the outside, scoring 11 points in only half a quarter, successfully bombing the team's highest 16 points in the first half, and once persuading Jokic and Payton Jr.
Curry's heroic performance continued, he only played another 10 minutes in the second half, but Curry continued to shoot and kill. Curry hit two more three-pointers in the last two quarters, and once completed a wonderful 3+1 performance, especially the continuous breakthrough of the interior line to create damage, so that the Nuggets' defense completely collapsed.
Curry scored another 18 points in the second half, ranking the highest of the two teams with 34 points, becoming the number one contributor to leading the Warriors to win. More critically, Curry, Dream Green, Tang Shen, Wiggins and Poole, their new death five made the Nuggets desperate, and Jokic accumulated two T to be expelled.
The Warriors built a new death five under the leadership of Curry, successfully achieved a 2-0 lead on aggregate, and the probability of promotion has reached 92.6%, no doubt they will continue to be in this state, and they are extremely expected to sweep the Nuggets to advance to the next round.
