The Golden State Warriors are not having the best of seasons in the NBA. With 52 games played, just before the All Star Game stoppage, the San Francisco franchise has a record of 26 wins and 26 losses to place itself in 10th position in the Western Conference, in one of the places to compete in the play-in prior to the playoffs.
This Wednesday night, Stephen Curry’s team faced the Los Angeles Clippers and fell at home 130-125 in a historic evening for Golden State’s number 30 because he became the first player in league history to convert at least seven triples in four consecutive games. But beyond this new milestone in his career, the point guard was the protagonist of an action that went viral on social networks.
In the shooting session prior to the start of the game, and as is now a classic, Curry attempted one of those shots that seem impossible. More than 40 meters from the rim, at the entrance to the tunnel of the visiting locker room, he tried a half-hook shot that bounced off the backboard and then exploded into the net. Once the ball went in, the best player in franchise history looked up in a kind of bow and then began to celebrate the achievement with a dance that generated a reaction from all the fans present in the Chase Center.
In what was the game against the Clippers, the Warriors shooter once again led his team despite the loss against the Los Angeles franchise. He scored 41 points on 15-of-31 shooting from the field. Of those shots, 19 attempts were behind the crescent of three-pointers and he converted nine in total to, for the fourth game in a row, add at least seven three-point conversions.
In addition, Curry added five assists and four rebounds for Golden State, which could not face the offensive power of LAC, which had 26 points from James Harden, its top scorer of the evening in San Francisco. Paul George (24) and Normal Powell (21) added to the victory of the team that is in third place in the West with a record of 36 wins and 17 losses, very close to the leader Minnesota Timberwolves, which leads the conference (38- 16).
At 35 years old, the Warriors’ 30 is having a high-level season in the NBA. In his quest to once again be the title-contending franchise alongside Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and the recent arrival of veteran Chris Paul, Step is averaging about 28 points, almost 5 assists and more than 4 rebounds per game with a 42 per game. hundred shots from three.
Looking ahead to the All-Star Game, which starting next Friday will begin with daily events in Indiana, Curry will be one of the protagonists in an event that will attract the attention of fans of the league and the WNBA, the professional competition of women’s basketball in the United States. During the day on Saturday, after the three-point contest and before the dunk event, the point guard will compete against New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu in the All-Star weekend in a challenge.
The “Stephen vs. Sabrina 3-Point Challenge” will follow the same format and regulations as the three-point contest in its most recent version. There will be 70 seconds on the clock and each one will have 27 balls and a total of 40 points available for the two participants. Both will shoot from the NBA three-point line, Curry with NBA balls and Ionescu with those used in the WNBA
