: 281: The Forgotten Archer

On January 17, the nba official finally announced the list of participants for the 2012 nba All-Star Weekend three-pointer contest.
Heat player James Jones won the three-point contest in 2011, so he automatically won a place to participate in the three-point contest. Chalmers, another Heat guard, also qualified.
In addition to the two players from the Heat, the other four players invited to participate in the three-point contest are Timberwolves forward Kevin Love, Magic forward Ryan Anderson, Nets guard Anthony Morrow, and recently became popular. Link, he will replace the injured Eagles guard Joe Johnson to participate in this three-point contest!
After yesterday's consideration, Link finally decided to accept the invitation of the alliance. It doesn't hurt to go for fun. And to participate in the three-point contest, it’s better than being pulled by Kobe to train at four or five in the morning. Well, now, there is an excuse to refuse Kobe’s training invitation
Link's participation suddenly made this All-Star Game more interesting. Like Griffin last season, Link almost became the protagonist of this All-Star Game.
Because from the first day of the rookie challenge to the three-point contest to the All-Star Game, Link participated in all of them without fail.
The news that he appeared in Time magazine and joined the three-point contest coincided with each other, and Link simply swept the entire basketball circle.
But unlike the controversy when he was selected for the All-Star Game, this time Link participated in the three-point contest, and almost all the media and football fans gave positive reviews.
For one thing, Link's 35 three-pointers per game this year is indeed high enough. Secondly, Link has been very popular recently, adding a lot to the starry three-point contest.
Seeing all the media reports about him, Link curled his lips helplessly.
If I had this popularity last year, the best rookie would not be Griffin's turn.
But speaking of it, last year Link was still envious of the popular monster Griffin. But this year, he himself became a popular monster. The leap this season really made Link feel dreamy.
That night, the Grizzlies lost the Nuggets by 1 point at home, terminating their second seven-game winning streak of the season. But Link still used his 4 of 6 3-pointers to satisfy the appetites of the fans.
Now, people are increasingly looking forward to Link's performance on All-Star Weekend.
But another player who played well beyond the three-point line was completely ignored. And he was trying to make everyone remember himself again.

At the same time as the Grizzlies and the Nuggets battled, in Oklahoma City, the Thunder, currently ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference, was playing against the Golden State Warriors.
Before the game started, no one thought the Warriors could cause any trouble for the Thunder. After all, judging from the record, the two sides are not at the same level.
So far this season, the Thunder has 22 wins and only 7 losses. Kevin Durant averaged 2 points per game and he became a more mature scoring machine. Russell Westbrook averaged 236 points per game and his shooting percentage increased to 457. Most of the time, the No. 0 guard will remain calm. Sergi Ibaka averaged a terrible 37 blocks per game! He made the Thunder’s weak defense at the rim and no longer vulnerable
Of course, the biggest gain of the Thunder this season is from James Harden on the bench!
In the first grade, Harden averaged less than 10 points per game and had a miserable 40 field goal percentage.
Last season, Harden averaged 122 points per game, but he is still not a personal figure. Most players can easily lock him up.
And this season, Harden's scoring skyrocketed to 16 points, averaging 491 from the field and 39 from three-pointers!
In the prediction ranking of the best sixth man award, James Harden has maintained the lead. He has become the most well-known sixth man in the league this season, no one! His combination with Westbrook and Durant began to make people even more fanciful.
A defensive champion, two scoring machines, plus a super sixth man, maybe this young team can really hit the championship! ?
However, it is such a strong and terrifying team. Today, he was at home, struggling on the brink of a rollover.
All this, because of one person, Stephen Curry!
"Steven, after catching the ball, shoot directly on top of Westbrook's head, is there any more!? Go in, go in! Three-pointer! Stephen Curry, this is already his 6 three-pointers in this game This is crazy, he made 6 of three pointers. Stephen Curry is fighting the Thunder on his own!"
On the commentary stage, Weber's voice became hoarse. Curry is like opening up today, there are three points!
After Curry scored a goal, he waved his fist very hard. He is not demonstrating against Thunder players and fans, but expressing his unwillingness.
For Curry this season, it is really not easy.
During the offseason last year, Curry underwent ankle surgery to repair the torn ankle ligament, but this did not make his condition fundamentally improved. In the first seven games of this season, Curry sprained his ankle twice. In January 2012, Curry sprained his right foot. He sprained again in February, only a few days after his comeback.
Due to constant injuries, Curry has not played many games this season and the numbers have plummeted. From 16 points per game last season, it has become only 147 points.
He was extremely frustrated, feeling that since last summer, he had done nothing except to recover his ankle.
Seeing that the day when the third-year players renew their contracts with the home team in advance, the Golden State Warriors have yet to make an offer. With a super high three-point shooting rate of 455, Curry did not receive an invitation from the league to participate in the three-point contest. These two things made him discover that he seemed to be abandoned and forgotten!
Therefore, today Curry vented all the frustration and unhappiness in his heart. He wants to prove to the warriors and the world that I have not fallen yet, I can still fight, and I can still win!
Unfortunately, the Oklahoma City Thunder hit the muzzle.
After Curry scored this three-pointer, the Warriors led the Thunder by 4 points in the final 435 seconds of the game. The Thunder have only lost 7 games this season. But they never expected that the Warriors who couldn't even get into the top eight in the Western Conference would become the first team to defeat them.
At the last moment, the Thunder missed several key shots~EbookFREE.me~Finally, the nightmare became a reality. The Thunder, the No. 1 in the Western Conference, was at home and upset and lost to the Golden State Warriors, who ranked third in the Western Conference!
At the end of the game, the baby-faced defender who was not favored by all parties raised his arms to celebrate his victory.
With 34 assists, 6 of three points, Curry used an impeccable performance to complete his own salvation. This is the first time this season, Stephen Curry scored 30 points in a single game.
After the game, Stephen Curry once again won the favor of reporters. He can't remember how long he has been forgotten by everyone.
"Stephen, this is a great victory. The league didn't invite you to the three-point contest. Did they not respect you enough?" The reporter asked a very sharp question when he came up.
Curry gave a wry smile without answering. But that smile is worth a thousand words.
"Then the next game against the Memphis Grizzlies and against Link who replaced Joe Johnson in the three-point contest, do you think you can continue to perform well?"
"I will do my best to fight every game."
Curry's eyes are firm. Although he has a baby face, he uses the heart of a strong man.
Link and his teammates did not know that they had been spotted by their opponents in the next game in advance.
A Stephen Curry, who is eager to prove himself, might also cause great trouble to the Grizzlies.
