Today is Curry's 34th birthday
In a sense
This reminds us
From the beginning of the small ball era to the present
It's been a while
The big men were probably really silent for a while
But today
These seven-foot-long men used their own performances
Tell the world
The age of the big man
Never passed
Currently, the top two MVP lists are two big centers
Moreover, these two people have already dominated the top two
Up to a month
About Teacher and Embiid
There was a head-on showdown in Philadelphia today
It's hard to say who has the upper hand
But the eye-catching level should be unique in this day's competition:
Until Towns scored 32 points in the third quarter
Towns in today's game against the Spurs
One person scored 60 points
It is worth mentioning
He scored 56 points in three quarters
He had clocked in early to get off work
Deliberately debuted at the end of the section
Score your career to a new high
Mention it above
Supposedly, plenty of time was even enough for him to surpass his own good brother
70 points in Deven Booker
However, compared to Booker, who lost by 70 points
Today's Towns almost led the team to maintain the full lead
And such a score
It also made Downs a
Following O'Neill in 2000
The first center to score 60 points in a single game
At the same time, it also broke the Timberwolves' team record
- The last 56 points was also his own
Maybe maybe
To some extent
Can Downs now represent this team superficially?
The game
He shot 7-of-11 from outside the three-point line
Now, with that three-point contest trophy
Downs, who shot 39.7 percent from a career three-point range
Claiming to be the biggest three-pointer in NBA history?
No problem at all!
In this advocating long-range and fast-paced
The so-called small ball era
In the past, it was specialized in in-line hand-to-hand combat
Centers who fight positional warfare under a slow-paced attack
It was as if there was nowhere to display one's abilities in an instant
And the big men led by Teacher Jo, Embiid, and Towns
In a whole new way
These top centers are back at the top of the league
They retain the ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat on the inside and their flexible footsteps
It also has the ability to shoot at all defenders
They can provide the team with what is so desperately needed in this era
Stadium space
At the same time, they used to be less reflective of the center in the past
A certain view of the pitch
Complemented by excellent size
It can even be the engine of the team
Of course, the above three players
There is no doubt that they are the absolute core of their respective teams
Now it seems
Towns and the other two
There are indeed gaps
There is no chance of catching up with them in the future
It's still unknown
But maybe it's like Downs after today
Say it yourself
"Today wasn't even my best"
The best is probably always on the way
For Downs
He probably really can
The so-called post-Butler era
Personally lead a team to a playoff
Break the doubt and prove yourself
Earn that damn respect
Towns' 60 points
Maybe it's just the beginning
