In the fourth game of the Warriors and nuggets first-round series, the warriors who led the big score 3-0 have given the Nuggets a dead reprieve in advance, and originally wanted to directly end this round of the series on the road, but Curry's several key free throws hit the iron, the Warriors finally failed to let their plans to sweep the Nuggets succeed, and the fifth game The two sides will return to the Warriors' home Chase Center to continue the competition.
Klay's three branches rose, Curry's outside line was depressed, and the Warriors failed to sweep the Nuggets
In fact, this game the Warriors once had the opportunity to win, but in the end the tenacious Denver soldiers still laughed to the end, to avoid their own embarrassment of being swept out, this campaign the Warriors a total of 5 players scored in double figures, and the score to 30+ there are two, just two members of the Splash Brothers Klay Thompson and Steven Curry, this campaign Curry outside the three-point line is not good, 11 shots only 3, but relying on free throws and paint scores, or let themselves get the team's highest 33 points, Compared to Curry's struggles outside the three-point line, Clay stood up, and this game was 7 of 11 outside the three-point line, cutting a series-high 32 points.
Just 38 three-pointers away from The Old Jen, Clay is on the verge of becoming the second-placer on the playoffs' all-time three-point list
And the seven three-pointers that G4 Clay hit also put him on the verge of reaching a milestone. According to relevant statistics, the first place in the number of playoff three-point shots is Steven Curry, who has shot a total of 484, and the second place is the veteran LeBron James, who currently plays for the Lakers, who has shot a total of 432 three-pointers in his playoff career, and as for the third place, it is Klay Thompson, who has hit a total of 395 three-pointers in his playoff career, that is to say, only 38 three-pointers are missing, and Clay will surpass James and dominate the playoff history three-point list with Curry. Judging by his progress of averaging 5.3 three-pointers per game in the playoffs this season, Clay will surpass James in almost seven games at the earliest to become the second person on the playoff history three-point list.
If it weren't for injury Klay, he would have surpassed old Jan, and the league's playoff history three-point list would soon be dominated by the Splash Brothers
For Clay, in fact, if he can stay healthy in the past two seasons, he may have surpassed James and won the second place on the list, the ACL of the 19-year Finals was broken, and the Achilles tendon was torn in the 20-year offseason, these two injuries also indirectly led to the Warriors' lack of playoff stage, until this season finally returned to this familiar stage. If Klay hadn't suffered these two serious injuries, the Warriors would also have a good chance of continuing into the playoffs in the 19-20 season, according to his progress in averaging 3.1 three-pointers per game in his playoff career, even if he can't catch up with James in the 19-20 season, there is a great hope that he can surpass in the 20-21 season (provided that the Warriors can enter the playoffs), come to Curry's "back" and become the second three-pointer in NBA playoff history.
As the two top three-point shooters in the NBA today, the Golden State Warriors in which Klay and Curry are located will most likely continue to be regulars in the playoffs in these years, as long as they can maintain their health, they will only pull the playoff three-point record and the players behind them bigger and bigger, and the players behind them want to catch up with the splash brothers, it is really not an easy task.
