The current Golden State Warriors have faded from the glory of the past. Before the start of this season, they still do not seem to be regarded as strong contenders for the playoffs. After all, Curry, who is in danger of injury, leads a group of "children" to play alone. It seems too hard to look at...
But in today’s NBA arena, the Warriors beat the Trail Blazers 137-122. After two consecutive losses this season, they are now 3 wins and 3 losses, bringing their winning percentage back to 50%. Compared to today’s Curry, let’s once again. Showcasing the true qualities of "Ku Hao" in the past, this game grabbed Lillard's watch, scored 62 points in 8 of 16 three-pointers, setting a career single-game scoring record.
Now that has passed, Curry has become the second oldest player in NBA history to score 60+ at the age of 32. Before him is the deceased who scored 60 points in the 2016 career curtain call. The star Kobe Bryant.
In Jordan's personal opinion, Curry can't support the entire team alone, but in today's game Curry averaged 30+ in the first and second halves. Such continuous output made him a "pistol" in 1977. Pete Maravich was the first player to complete this feat in a single game.
With 2 minutes and 23 seconds left in the last quarter of the second half, Curry scored the 56th point with two free throws, which surpassed the previous record of 54 points in a single game against the Knicks in 2013. After that, he scored two three-pointers to lock his score at 62 points. After scoring the last three-pointer, Curry released the pressure that had been grieving for a long time. The familiar Curry is back!
62 points, which also makes Curry one of the eight active "Mr. 60+" in the league, including today’s opponent Lillard, and of course his teammate Klay Thompson, after all, Thompson faced the walk in 2016 The picture of 60 points scored in three quarters is still in our memory.
And most of the pressure Curry needs to release comes from Thompson. Indeed, he needs Thompson too much. In the 2019 finals, facing the consecutive injuries of Thompson, Cousins and Durant, Curry watched the Warriors step down the altar, and in the following year, the Warriors fell to the bottom of the cliff, even Neither went to Orlando's "bubble" because they had already missed the playoffs.
After waiting a year for Thompson's return, "Tangshen" was reported to be injured again before the new season. After the MRI showed that he had not suffered a torn Achilles tendon on his left, he was reimbursed for the season. This made Curry feel more pressure because Except for him, Green, Rooney, and coach Cole, the Warriors are already completely different from the champion team of the year.
Fortunately, we finally waited for Curry to witness the return of the best shooter in history, but we all know that even on such a night worth celebrating, Curry still thought of the one who fought alongside him. the man......
