Chapter 294: New York Domination
Stephen Curry, the Warriors' ace and core point guard, played 46 minutes, shooting 18-of-30 from the field, including 10-of-15 three-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws, to score a career-high 50 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
Prior to today, the NBA's highest single-game score this season was 45 points held by Harden of the Rockets, and today Curry scored 50 points to become the league's highest single-game scorer this season.
In the history of the NBA, Curry is the first player to make 10 three-pointers in a single game, score at least 50 points, and score at least 6 rebounds and 7 assists, respectively.
In terms of career three-point shots, Curry also surpassed Charles Barkley and Kenny Anderson with 549.
The NBA's regular season record for three-point attempts made in a single game is 12, held by Kobe Bryant and Doyer Marshall.
On January 8, 03, Kobe Bryant, who is not extremely outstanding in three-point ability, hit 12 of 18 three-point line shots in the game against the Seattle SuperSonics, scored 45 points in the game, and led the team to a 119-98 victory, and hitting 12 three-pointers in a single game also achieved the single-game three-point shooting record in the regular season in NBA history.
However, just two years later, Marshall, who came off the bench, equaled Kobe's record in a game where he only played 28 minutes, and Marshall shot 12-of-19 from beyond the three-point line, equaling Kobe's legend.
And Curry shot 10 of 15 three-pointers today, hitting 10 three-pointers in a single game, which also put him in the NBA record books.
After watching Curry's game, probably many fans will ask "When will Curry's performance be selected as an All-Star"?
As an All-Star point guard in the Western Conference, Chris Paul is in full swing, and the seat cannot be shaken, the devil's muscle man Westbrook has Durant's strong record in Ooio City to escort him, and he is also difficult to match, and Tony Parker is the ring on his hand is shining, and if he wants to replace him, he is afraid that he will have to survive until the old Deng retires and the Spurs record dives.
But Curry's magical performance today still made many fans excited, and some fans firmly believed that Curry's strength could occupy a seat in the All-Star.
Curry's performance was so hot that his wife, Ayesha, was also very excited, and she chanted on Twitter: "Words can't describe it!" Indescribable! ”
Not only his wife praised, but also the American media, reporters and experts from all walks of life praised Curry's super performance today.
"Stephen Curry is literally in game mode and he's on and his three-point range is insane," said Basketball Insider reporter Fox.
NBA official reporter Sean Grande said: "If you're still watching CSI, you know what I'm going to say, change the channel"
Hall of Famer Chris Mullin, who is known as the "Left Hand of God," said "he's the best shooter among active NBA players."
"When he's in the open space, I always feel like the ball is going to hit it safely," said Mullin, the ESPN live commentator, "and he has that kind of talent."
"Not wasting any time and energy, just a slight jump off the ground triggered his shooting action in an instant, and he was not only the purest and greatest shooter of all time, he even redefined the word shot, which revolutionized the whole art of shooting," said Adam Philbi, the league's head of scouting, said Curry after the game.
Stephen Curry's father is named Dell Curry, who was once a famous sharpshooter in the NBA in the eighties and nineties of the 20th century.
After the game, the ESPN reporter interviewed Dale on the spot and said, "Hey, Dale, your son is so good, when do you think he can surpass you?" ”
At this time, the old Curry smiled and said, "Hasn't he already done it."
Unfortunately, Curry's high score was not able to bring victory to the Warriors, and they ultimately lost to the Nets by one point, and Curry's 50 points were the highest since Kobe Bryant scored 58 points in the Lakers' loss to the Bobcats on December 30, 2006.
115:116, the final victory belongs to Brooklyn, which is destined to be the protagonist today is not Curry.
Lore! 50 points! Debut Battle! Rookie! ....... one by one, the incomparably shining words have converged on one person, and he is the absolute protagonist of today-tall and strong.
Gao Dazhuang played 43 minutes in this game, shooting 17 of 26, including 5 of 9 three-pointers and 11 of 14 free throws, scoring 50 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
Such dazzling data made the 19-year-old rookie Gao Dazhuang make himself forever recorded in history, with this battle, Gao Dazhuang surpassed Jennings, James, Abdul-Jabbar, etc., and became the youngest Mr. 50 points in NBA history.
Following Curry, the tall man also set his own career scoring record and became the league's most scoring player in a single game this season.
The NBA's official website reported in a large report after the game that "Coming to Brooklyn, the tall and strong scoring potential is unleashed infinitely", pointing out:
Less than 2 months after entering the NBA, he left the Houston Rockets with the halo of Rookie of the Month, it is obvious that Gao Da Zhuang has not been happy with the Rockets in the past two months, and his conflict with the Rocket ace Harden in the position has limited its development, as the league's well-deserved reddest rookie, Gao Da Zhuang can't even guarantee his main position.
Eventually, Gao Dazhuang came to Brooklyn, where the team management, coaches, teammates and fans all gave him infinite trust, he could show his talent to the fullest, and it can be seen from the final shootout tactics that Gao Dazhuang got what he wanted in the Nets, and this is his team.
Although Deron Williams is the captain of the team, no one can deny that after this game, Brooklyn has faced their own king, and the vast majority of fans believe that tall and strong is now their real trump card.
The big deal gave Brooklyn an immediate effect, and the Nets ended their six-game losing streak with a tall and strong performance.
As the coach of the team, the "little general" Johnson also excitedly told reporters after the game: "I have never seen anyone with such a great all-round offensive ability as him, blocking, emergency stopping, empty-handed walking, receiving the ball, stepping back, breaking through, fast breaking, three-point, mid-range shooting, and forced shots in the face of two-person wrap-ups...... He's perfected any shot you can think of, and even though he's still a rookie, I'd like to say that I've never seen anyone as well-rounded as he is."
"Curry of the Warriors played at a very high level in this game, his shooting ability, especially the three-point shot is incredible, but obviously he is not as tall and strong as he is so comprehensive, this guy simply has no limits, he is still so young" Johnson proudly declared in the face of onlookers from reporters.
Speaking about the last-minute stunner of the game, Avery Johnson said with a little emotion: "There is no doubt that we will give him the ball and give him the task of stunning".
Warriors coach Mark Jackson also told reporters: "He's the MVP of the game, he doesn't play like a rookie at all, he keeps attacking our baskets in the game, he accomplishes an incredible achievement."
Warriors quarterback Thompson, who played against Tall and Strong in this game, also praised Tall Strong's performance: "You can never stop a player like Tall Strong, you can only try to limit him, but he obviously couldn't stop today."
Of course, in addition to the praise of his opponents, his amazing performance of being tall and strong was also praised by his teammates.
"We struggled for a while, we couldn't do anything, we couldn't play defensively, we didn't play the right game," Deron Williams told reporters in the locker room, "but Gao stepped up, it was incredible, he showed his extraordinary talent, my teammates and I welcomed him to Brooklyn, he's a player with a lot of potential"
In this game, Deron Williams scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and a game-high 11 assists, although the statistics are not impressive, but they still connect the whole team well.
"For now, I'll do anything to win," Deron Williams said of his stats after the game, "and it's great to be back on winning track, which is what we need so much at the moment."
Compared with Delong's calmness, Humphries, the Nets' inside lineman, took the initiative to grab the microphone of the Nets' official reporter and exaggeratedly said: "This is the strength of the best rookie? Oh my God, it's crazy."
"50 points!" Evans on the side also leaned over and shouted: "He's our trump card, we won't be able to stop it, Knicks, you wait"
For the first time, the Nets' locker room at their new home court was packed with so many reporters, with spotlights flashing in the locker room and the tall man sitting in an unfamiliar position surrounded by a swarm of reporters.
"High, how does it feel?" Under the coordination of the Nets press officer, the media began to ask questions in an orderly manner, and the first question was asked by ESPN reporters.
"I feel great, I feel great! I was just thinking, we're going to have three days off and if we lose this game, I'm going to be depressed at this stage, so I just stepped up and wanted to win the game and it turned out pretty good" Obviously the tall man who scored a career-high 50 points was in a very good mood.
"Gao, have you played so much since you were a kid now? In elementary, middle, high school, or college? The reporter asked.
"Never, not even in my dreams, it's just, it's just happened, it just happened" Gao Dazhuang immediately added: "Also, I started playing basketball in college", Gao Dazhuang's answer made the reporters on the scene exclaim.
"Gao, how do you feel about breaking the all-time scoring record and becoming the most single-game scorer in Nets history?" This time it was a reporter from the Brooklyn Nets' official website who asked the question.
"God must be bless me, it's a great honor to play for such a great team, in short, I'm very excited right now," replied Gao Dazhuang excitedly.
"You just scored 40 points for the Rockets yesterday and rushed to New York today, and Coach Johnson said before the game that you were a little tired, but how did you adjust before this game?" Another reporter asked.
"It's true that the journey is very tiring, but when I come to the Barclays Centre and see the passionate fans, all I have left is energy," replied Gao Dazhuang with a smile.
"Have you noticed that the audience has already taken out their phones to take pictures at the end, and they have all stood up?" The reporter asked.
"yes, I noticed, Brooklyn has the cutest fans in the league, and I'm playing for the Brooklyn fans today, and we're going to go from underestimation to the top together, and it's important to enjoy this journey along the way, and that's what we're doing now, we're going through this journey right now, and it means a lot to give a show like this to the Brooklyn fans," said the tall man, pointing to the Nets mark on his chest.
"How do you do that, I mean, when the opponent starts to double or triple you, you can still score," Fox asked.
"On the court I just want to win, I just want to keep scoring, I just want to move faster, and when I get a chance, I just want to pull up a jumper before they get me, or get to the basket and make some fouls," said the tall man with a wave of his hand.
'In the second half, you and your team-mates got together a lot of timesout, I mean you guys had a lot of timeouts, and in the meantime did you hear someone say something like giving the ball to the big guys? Fox continued.
"Oh, in that case, I could barely hear anything, except that DeLong and I had whispered a little," Gao Dazhuang replied after a moment's thought.
"In the last minute of the fourth quarter I noticed Deron whispering to you, and then you kept nodding your head, what the hell are you communicating?" The ESPN reporter on the side then asked.
"DeLong did talk to me a few times, he told me the tricks of the game, how to get the opponent's defense off balance and score more easily, and he always gave me good advice during today's game, he is my Yoda," Gao Dazhuang replied with a smile.
"You played a great game today, you saved the team and won a game that you can't lose, it will have a positive impact on the team, right?" The ESPN reporter continued to ask.
"yes, I hope that can be the motivation for us to move forward, and we have the next three days to rest and study the next game against the Knicks, and hopefully we can use that momentum to keep going and keep that momentum going," said the tall man with a clenched fist.
"Gao, it's getting late, maybe there's no time, what will you do tomorrow morning? Go out and celebrate? At this time, a female reporter interjected.
"Oh no, I'm going to sleep, I need a good night's sleep, tomorrow morning...... I'll make some breakfast, sit down, watch some Hollywood blockbusters, and do that," the tall and strong answer made the audience burst into laughter.
"Gao, you're going to play against the New York Knicks in the next game, who do you think is the real master of New York between the two teams" At this time, NBA official reporter Sean Grande suddenly threw out a sharp question.
Gao Dazhuang was slightly stunned, and then humorously replied: "I think it's New York Mayor Bloomberg."
