On February 21st, Beijing time, the NBA All-Star Game officially started, Team James VS Team Durant. Prior to this, Team James had won the All-Star Game for four consecutive years. Lao James' team-building ability was excellent, and they were eager to continue their winning streak; Durant was unable to play due to injury, and due to the death of his grandmother, he even failed to win the All-Star Game. Come to the scene to cheer for the team you formed. In this game, the two sides were undefended. Team James won the first quarter with a 2-point advantage with its hot three-point touch. In the second quarter, Curry started a three-point show. However, Durant's team combined internal and external forces even more.

The All-Star Game is a true "SHOWTIME", with star-studded players and performances as the main focus. After entering the small ball era, three-pointers have played an increasingly important role in the All-Star Game. In this game, Durant's team took a total of 122 shots, 59 of which were three-pointers, and hit 21 three-pointers. Among them, Embiid scored 36 points + 10 rebounds + 5 three-pointers, Trae Young contributed 13 points + 10 assists + 3 three-pointers, and Booker scored 20 points + 5 rebounds + 2 three-pointers. , Ball contributed 18 points + 3 rebounds + 3 assists + 3 steals + 4 three-pointers. Team James is even more ruthless! A total of 119 shots were taken, 62 of which were three-pointers, and 27 three-pointers were hit. Antetokounmpo hit 14 of 15 in the penalty area and destroyed the basket. James used a mid-range shot to pay tribute to Jordan, but Curry is the focus of this All-Star Game.

Luxurious data. There was no defense and no pressure. Curry used the All-Star Game as a three-pointer training session. He made 2 of 4 in the first quarter to try his best, and 6 of 7 in the second quarter was approaching the All-Star Game record for three-pointers made in a single game (George, single. 9 three-pointers in a game); in the third quarter, Curry felt hot, shooting 7 of 10 in a single quarter; in the fourth quarter, Curry had "only" 2 goals left - first, win the game and win the All-Star Game MVP ; Second, breaking the All-Star Game single-game scoring record (52) set by Big Eyebrow. However, Curry was inaccurate as the defensive intensity increased, and only made 1 of 6 three-pointers. But even so, Curry still became a god in one battle and set many NBA records.
According to statistics from the NBA official website, first, Curry hit 8 three-pointers in the first half, setting a new record in NBA All-Star history; second, Curry hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter in the third quarter, setting a new record. The number of three-pointers made in a single quarter in NBA All-Star history is a new high; third, Curry hit 16 three-pointers in the whole game, significantly refreshing the record of three-pointers made in a single game in NBA All-Star history; fourth, Curry's career All-Star The total number of three-pointers made in the game reached 47, surpassing James (40) and rising to the first place in NBA history. Curry has replaced Ray Allen as the three-point leader in NBA history. He has set four records on the All-Star stage that are unprecedented and unattainable for future generations. He is well-deserved and can be praised!
In Doncic's words, Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history. His performance is amazing, but no one will be surprised by it. With his superb performance of 50 points and 16 three-pointers, Curry won 11 of the 12 All-Star MVP votes (the other one belonged to James) and was successfully elected as the All-Star Game MVP. This is the first time Curry has won the All-Star Game MVP in his career. According to statistics, he became the third oldest AMVP in NBA history at the age of 33 years and 343 days, second only to O'Neal (36 years and 346 days) and O'Neal (36 years and 346 days). Jordan (34 years and 356 days). At the same time, Curry became the fifth player in Warriors history to win AMVP. The first four were Durant (2019), Barry (1967), Chamberlain (1960) and Arizin (1952).I have to say, Curry is so ruthless, and the older he gets, the more evil he becomes!
According to the promise before the game, Curry will donate US$1,000 for every point he scores, US$3,000 for every three-pointer he scores, and US$10,000 if he gets AMVP. In other words, Curry will donate US$108,000 in the end! After the game, Curry was full of emotions when talking about winning the All-Star Game MVP. He said: This trophy is of great significance to commemorate Kobe and GIGI. I am very lucky, but I will remain humble! For Curry, he just played an exhibition game in the way he is most familiar with. He has an MVP and an AMVP. There is only one small regret left in his career - FMVP! I look forward to Curry continuing his efforts and continuing to write legends!
