On October 22, Beijing time, in a game that has ended in the Warriors' 115:113 narrow victory over the Clippers, Curry performed very well, scoring 45 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist in the whole game. It was also Curry's sixth single-game game since the age of 33 at 45+, third in NBA history.
It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to score a score of 45+ after the age of 33, but it may not be difficult for Jordan, the old rogue has cut 45+ in a total of 11 times after the age of 33; Knicks star Bernard King is second with 8 times; plus today's game, Curry is the sixth time, ranking sixth in history. Now let's take a look at which team Curry played against in the first five times.
Curry is only 33 years old this year, in other words, Curry's 6 45+ were all done this year, that is, last season. The 33-year-old's first 45+ appeared in the Warriors' game against the Nuggets on April 13, Beijing time, in that game, Curry took advantage of Jokic's slow movement weakness and directly hit the outside line, hitting 53 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on 10 of 18 three-pointers, and the Warriors also won 116:107.
The second time was the Game against the Celtics on April 18, in which Curry went crazy again, scoring 47 points on 11-of-19 three-pointers, but the other players did not give up, plus the Celtics had a Tatum and Curry on the side of the 44 points, and finally the Warriors lost to the Celtics 114:119.
The third time is only 2 days away from the second time. In the April 20 away game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Curry seized on Embiid's slow movement weakness, 10-of-17 from outside the three-point line, 11-of-12 from the free throw line, 49 points, three rebounds and five assists, and the Warriors also beat the 76ers 107-96;
The fourth time was on May 9, the Warriors' game against the Thunder, facing the indomitable Thunder, Curry clocked in the third quarter, 14 of 26, 11 of 21 three-pointers, and the Warriors finally beat the Thunder by 39 points at 136:97, and Curry's plus-minus was +31;
The fifth was the final game of the regular season against the Grizzlies on May 17, a game about who could play two games in the playoffs, and the latter game had home advantage. Curry shot 14-of-26 and 9-of-22 from three-point range for 46 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, and Curry directly subdued the Grizzlies' young core, Morant.
In those six games, Curry has made at least eight three-pointers. It is worth mentioning that Curry has now shot 8 or more three-pointers in 62 games, ranking first in history, more than two, three or four combined. Lillard was second (23), Harden (21) and JR Smith (14).
