The NBA regular season is in full swing, and teams are battling it out for a playoff spot. Against this backdrop, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has set an amazing record at the individual level, shocking basketball fans around the world.
In a game on February 21, Beijing time, Curry scored 40 points, including 10 three-pointers, against the Orlando Magic. It was the sixth time this season that Curry has hit at least 10 three-pointers in a single game, and the 29th time in his career that he has done so. That's more than all other players in NBA history have hit 10 three-pointers in a single game combined. Yes, you read that right, Curry alone broke the league's record and became the first man in history.
This record is significant, as it not only showcases Curry's exceptional shooting ability, but also proves his impact on the game of basketball. Curry is known as the "King of Three-Point Shots", and he changed the NBA's offensive style and led a "three-point revolution". His appearance has made more players and teams begin to pay attention to and use the three-point shot, thereby improving the efficiency and enjoyment of the game. Curry's record is also the best affirmation of his personal achievements, he has become one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, and some even consider him the best of all time.
However, Curry's record has also sparked some controversy and questioning. Some argue that Curry's record was set in the context of the three-point era and is not comparable to previous players. They believe that if some legendary goalscorers, such as Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird and others, play under the current rules and tactics, they would be able to set similar records, if not higher. They believe that Curry's record doesn't mean he's the best shooter, but only that he's the best shooter for the times.
There are also those who believe that Curry's record was set under the Warriors' system and tactics and has little to do with his individual ability. They believe that the Warriors' off-ball running, pick-and-roll coordination, quick passing and other tactics provide Curry with a lot of shots and open opportunities, allowing him to shoot as he wants. They believe that if Curry were to switch teams, or to bring other shooters to the Warriors, they would be able to do similarly, if not better. They argue that Curry's record doesn't mean he's the most capable shooter, but only that he's the most blessed shooter.
Curry himself did not respond too much to these controversies and doubts, he just used his performance to prove his worth. "I don't care what people say, I only care what I do," he said. I love basketball, I love shooting, and I'm going to keep trying, keep improving, keep making history. Curry's attitude has also been respected and appreciated by his coaches, teammates, opponents and fans. They believe that Curry's record is the result of years of hard work and perseverance, a manifestation of his love and awe for basketball, and a response to his confidence and challenge in himself. They believe that Curry's record is not just a number, but a legend, a miracle, and a myth.
