Chapter 124 It's fun to play badly
Chapter 124: Showing off and having fun (first update)
Curry does need some time to adapt to the starting style of play, which is completely different from the substitute.
First of all, the defensive requirements have increased. No matter what bad team the opponent is, the starting lineup in the NBA will not be weak.
Curry defended Chris Duhon in the first quarter, while Baron Davis dealt with Gallinari.
However, mismatches will inevitably occur in defense, as well as defensive rotations, and your opponent will also design mismatch tactics against you.
It is impossible to always focus on whomever you are targeting. Without specific protection, the defensive pressure is much greater than playing as a substitute.
Once the defensive pressure increases, the energy in the offense will inevitably be affected.
Moreover, in the starting lineup, Curry is paired with Baron Davis, and the ball is no longer in his hands.
When he is the sixth man, Curry can take the ball and decide how to play.
When you start the game, you have to run tactics and be a tactical chess piece.
The Clippers' tactical system still centers on Randolph and Kaman.
After coming on as a substitute, Ricky Davis did not change back to his previous style of playing with the ball.
He was willing to obey Dunleavy's arrangements, starting from defense and going to the bottom corner.
The offense of the two ribs in the low post is the basis of the Clippers' tactics.
He won't think that others are not good. The Clippers' tactics are still very strong. Randolph and Kaman are both very capable.
The best way to break the circle is to have a tower passer on the outside who can pass and shoot, with a wide field of vision. The circle will soon turn into a score.
Min Congda felt a lot more relieved, there was hope for the Knicks.
Since the Knicks were not strong in defensive capabilities inside, they decisively used forwards to defend Randolph and Kaman.
He is not a person with an extreme personality, but pursues a more balanced approach that is good for everyone.
Baron Davis is used to being unrestrained in the Warriors. How can he practice passing the ball to break the pass? Once the opponent passes in front of him, he prefers to hold the ball and rush in.
Min Congda silently improved the standards for future drafts in his mind.
This process is undoubtedly difficult and painful, but once it begins, a new path will appear.
Curry is of average height and plays like an assassin. Asking him to lob the ball inside is not what he is good at.
He has gradually transformed from the arrogant guy who shot at his own basket in order to get a triple-double to a role player.
Min Congda read the first section and gave a very accurate evaluation.
The Knicks' defense in the first quarter was undoubtedly successful, preventing the Clippers from taking advantage of their inside advantage.
Curry plays more of a supporting role in this tactical system.
The Knicks maintained a lead of about 5 points and ended the first quarter.
I don’t know how he came up with this theory, but it does make some sense.
During the break, Curry had already made up his mind to take action when it was time to take action.
Players with strong offensive power are mostly outgoing, full of emotions, full of imagination, and smile all over the field and off the field.
For example, the Magic's Turkish scimitar Turkoglu last season had to pay the price for his opponents who tried to get around Howard.
His transformation was due to Min Congda's "wanton indulgence", which allowed him to calm down and think about the future.
During this period, the foursome of drunken, wealthy and wealthy people went out less and less frequently.
And Curry is Curry. He is not an ordinary rookie, nor is he Kobe or James. He has his own ideas.
At that time, Yao Ming of the Rockets was often defended by his opponents, but he did not have a good outside pass to break the opponent's defense.
Used to open up space, hit three-pointers, and feed the inside.
In the last game against the Timberwolves, Dunleavy started Rickey, and Rickey's performance was quite satisfactory.
Just over a month has passed and he has become more confident in himself.
A person's personality can often determine his playing style and style on the court.
If it were James, he might think, these people can't do it, let's change him, and let's change him here too...
"But in future drafts, you still have to select small forwards. You can't select inside players. Curry will have to pass. Just pick the one who can't shoot, has stiff movements, and doesn't have any offensive talent at first glance. He's stupid, big, and thick.
, it’s best to keep an expressionless face.”
"The Knicks' defensive strategy is pretty good. They constantly defend Kaman and Randolph and restrict them from catching the ball. But our Clippers don't do a very good job of feeding the ball in the paint, regardless of Curry.
Neither Balang nor Balang is a good player to feed the ball to the inside. More importantly, Thornton cannot be the pivot... In the future, we cannot find a guy who can pass and shoot at the third position."
I want to change my playing style when I come off the bench, pass more, organize more, support more, reduce mistakes, and increase open shots.
"Olshe has been asking me to trade for the third position, the one who can pass and shoot. Fortunately, I rejected him, but I can't trade for a player like that."
The defensive gate-type player has a more dull personality, talks less, is introverted, and has a stiff expression as if others owe him millions.
Looking back on the first game of the season, Curry was still very hesitant when faced with some opportunities.
The typical example is Magic Johnson.
In the second quarter, after Curry became the starter, the role of sixth man fell to Ricky Davis.
And Stephen Curry's character on the court is as wild as the car he drives.
When playing 2K10, the strategy was to use small forwards. Now we not only need small forwards, but also those who cannot shoot well and have no offensive talent.
In the first quarter, Curry was slowly adapting to this change in role.
Because Randolph stopped drinking, he told Ricky Davis, "I want to play ball."
The ball is still in the hands of Baron Davis and Maddie Collins, who are still squatting in the corner and concentrating on defense.
At this time, Min Congda was still eating popcorn and waiting for the second quarter to start.
Soft on the outside but strong on the inside, courteous first and then ready to attack, Curry's future court style has already been revealed during his rookie period.
At 22:27, the Clippers fell behind.
This is naturally inseparable from Min Congda's "careful training".
If I were an ordinary rookie, I would definitely be thinking about how I can integrate into the starting tactical system.
The typical one is Big Ben Wallace.
In the first quarter, Curry's performance was mediocre, with 2 points, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.
"In the second quarter, I will continue to cooperate with Randolph and Balang and use more tactics, but as long as there is a chance, I will definitely take action!"
But Baron and Curry happen to be not very good at this aspect.
If it were Kobe, he would probably think, "Others are too bad, it's not my problem, I'd better do it myself."
But Curry doesn't think he has to compromise, just act as a support player and cooperate, completely suppressing his own personality.
As for why he has to be expressionless, it's because Min Congda believes that players who love to smile will have offensive talent.
Defending in front requires high lob ability from the outside.
Ricky Davis felt something about Randolph's contract extension, and Min Congda also said, "Don't worry, I won't trade you."
In addition, Dunleavy personally said that Mr. Smart will increase your playing time, so what reason does he have for not playing well?
Curry, 21 years old, is just starting out and vows to break into a new world.
Ricky Davis, 31 years old, has reached his old age and is determined to change his past and play well.
Min Congda, eating popcorn, still doesn’t know anything, he thinks he’s doing well, and he’s very happy doing it.
