In the past five seasons, a total of 10 players who hit 10 + three-pointers in a single game have 28 games. The Warriors’ Splash Brothers (Steven Curry + Klay Thompson) contributed 18 of them. Unfortunately, such a terrifying epic shooter has fallen this season. Klay Thompson is expected to suffer from a knee injury. Curry, who has been absent for the entire season and has a broken palm, may not continue to be "magical" even if he chooses to come back this season (hitting at least 200 three-pointers in 7 consecutive seasons and maintaining a 40% shooting rate).
As a result, the Warriors have received crazy revenge from the league this season. The starting record of 4 wins and 19 losses has long become Steve Kerr, the eight-time coach, a lingering stain (in five seasons, the Warriors had 67 wins and 15 losses, 73 wins and 9 losses, 67 Wins 15 losses, 58 wins 24 losses, 57 wins and 25 losses record, the average winning rate is as high as 78.5%). This season, if "Snow Store" Curry takes the courage to pay, I am afraid that he will lose the total of four of the previous five seasons.
As early as a few weeks ago, the Warriors’ offensive and defensive core "dream chasing" Green once said bluntly: "In the past five years, we have exploded the entire league. , Their opportunity has come" (Surely fulfilled).
In the Warriors’ away game against the Hornets, the second-round pick (fourth pick in the second round) Drenthe Graham made 10 of 22 shots (16 from the three-point line) within 35 minutes of playing. He scored 10 points, 3 free throws from the free throw line and 3 free throws.) Efficiently scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, plus 2 steals. The true shooting percentage was as high as 70.8%.
Of course, Graham's explosion in this field is not a flash in the pan. So far this season, he has averaged 18.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. It is worth mentioning that, He can hit 3.6 three-pointers per game and keep his shooting rate at 41.4%. The team is the scoring leader + assists leader + three-pointer leader. In addition, the 10 three-pointers in a single game also set a record in team history. He also had a lore three-pointer in 2.1 seconds before the end. Someone can finally rescue Mr. Joe who was crying in the toilet. !
I still remember how the Hornets were given an absolute advantage more than ten days ago. Is it reversed? That's right, that person's name is "Chicago Curry" (Zach LaVine)!
In the Hornets vs. Bulls game, LaVine also played an epic performance on the three-point line (13 of 17 shots) in 35 minutes of playing time, becoming second only to Klay Thompson , A figure alongside Stephen Curry. For the Hornets, LaVine was a nightmare in that game, because he not only scored 27 points in the final quarter, but also hit a difficult three-pointer.
Today's three-pointers not only fit the trend of the current league, but also become a "compulsory course" for all teams and players in the league. Looking forward to the "Splash Brothers" returning soon full of blood and creating another miracle!
