Curry hit 4 consecutive three-pointers at critical moments, revealing the deep meaning behind Durant joining the Warriors
For the US men's basketball team, the only goal of this Olympics is to win the gold medal. After four Olympic Games since 2008, the US men's basketball team has never failed and has been steadily winning gold medals. This year, they are particularly eager for this Olympic gold medal because the lineup is luxurious. 11 of the 12 players are NBA All-Stars, and the only exception is White, a substitute player listed as an NBA champion.
This lineup not only has the killer Durant, but also James and Curry, two superstars who are unique in the NBA. Although they are getting older, James is nearly 40 years old, and Durant and Curry are already 36 years old, but they still maintain their accurate state.
In the final against the French men's basketball team, Curry made 4 consecutive three-pointers at the critical moment of the game, showing an extraordinary performance. Such performance made fans more deeply understand the reason why Durant chose to switch to the Warriors. Curry is stable and accurate. Although he looked weak at the beginning of the game, he performed well in the last two games of the Olympics, scoring 9 and 8 three-pointers respectively. Especially in the critical moment of the final, Curry made 4 three-pointers in a row, which directly ended the whole game. This Olympics actually belongs to Curry.
It is worth mentioning that Curry is now 36 years old. Eight years have passed since 2016. He was at the peak of his career at that time, and so was Durant. At that time, Durant left the Thunder to join the Warriors, and his goal was to compete for the NBA championship.
Looking back, Curry's three-point shooting skills are unmatched, and the tacit cooperation between Durant and Curry was simply impeccable. Today in the Olympics, their cooperation is still full of firepower. Durant chose to join the Warriors, which was also the key decision to lead the team to win two championships. After that, he never won the championship trophy again. And now on the Olympic stage, Durant has led the team to win 4 Olympic gold medals.
