Chapter 62 Direct dialogue

With the experience of playing in the second quarter, Curry became more confident in his second appearance.

Get the ball in the backcourt and advance, facing Fisher.

Fisher is no longer the little fish he was in 2001, but an old fish. He cannot press the opponent's point guard from the beginning like he did back then, but maintains a normal defensive distance.

He even wants to make the distance here a little farther, because his legs and feet are slow, and when the distance is close, he will be passed by in one step.

When Curry dribbles to the top of the arc and plays at Staples Center, the feeling is completely different from an ordinary venue.

Especially during the regular season, the venue is filled with spectators. Behind the basket is a mountain of auditorium and a sea of ​​fans.

Standing at the top of the arc with the ball, in addition to the defender, the pressure from a large number of fans is huge.

It is the first time for a rookie player to play in such a venue. Even if no one is guarding him, his hands will shake when he shoots.

But Curry is a player who becomes more determined and powerful the greater the pressure. He found that the old fish was actually two steps away from him.

"You can shoot directly from this distance!?"

Curry holds the ball from the outside. Facing Jordan Farmar, he speeds up and breaks through the middle with no cover!

The speed is not fast, but the rhythm is very good, the combination of man and ball is great, it reaches the three-second zone, and Kobe comes to help defend!

Min Congda is extremely keen on tactics. He can see the problem and the solution in one round.

"Of course, if this offense won't work, then the best way is to let Kobe guard Curry! Bald No. 2 is really bad, and he will lose it with just a cross switch. How can you defend?"

"What kind of thinking does Lao Deng have? He's a bastard and asked Curry to play point guard. You... forget it. Curry might score three-pointers when he plays shooting guard. This brat plays very well. He

If I can fight just so-so, I can be considered worthy of him."

Fisher was keeping a close eye this time, but Curry ran tirelessly, catching the ball, passing the ball, running again, and catching the ball again.

"Oh! The rotation is a mess. The Lakers players' legs and feet are not very agile. Isn't it because it's the first game so they haven't found their form yet?"

He missed the opportunity in the right corner. The Lakers' defensive rotation was in chaos, and Kaman misplaced Fisher in the low post!

Curry passed the ball very selflessly to Kaman. Kaman caught the ball and turned around without jumping too high. He just hooked and scored two points!

"Beautiful reverse run! Beautiful! Beautiful!"

Of course, in an actual game, the coach cannot change the strategy in one round. After all, it is not a game. You can do whatever you ask the players to do.

But Curry was not fooled. He just smiled and said, "I'm not you, so I'll make random moves."

Min Congda crossed his arms and shook his head, "The Lakers' lineup is a bit cumbersome, and the defensive end really suffers from such a flexible play. If you want to improve, Bynum should be replaced to play a smaller lineup, and let Powell or

Odom plays center."

Like Phil Jackson's coaching style, he likes to let the players solve problems themselves, rather than the coach micromanaging.

When Kobe came off the court, he aggressively challenged Curry, trying to get Curry to shoot randomly.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy kept Curry on the court, replaced Gordon with Davis, and started a dual point guard.

There was clearly an opportunity in front of him, but he didn't dare to take a shot. In fact, he could have shot, but this was not in line with the coach's arrangement.

At the same time, Min Congda also wondered, is the Clippers I built so powerful? Can they compete with the defending champion?

It must be an illusion. There seems to be a saying that there are no underdogs in the NBA. Any team can win or lose.

The two sides returned to the bench. Curry wiped his sweat and felt good, but felt that something was missing.

In this regard, he is really in the same line as the basketball god Michael Jordan.

On the court, Kobe saw that the score difference had reached 4 points, and once again used his unsolvable singles to easily hit a jumper over Baron Davis.

Randolph changed his strategy and no longer fought hand-to-hand with Artest. He moved up to the high position and cooperated with Curry around the screen.

He felt that Balang's body and height were more suitable for shooting guards. Curry was a little too thin and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to carry him.

Min Congda looked at the poor state of the Lakers and the Clippers pressing behind them step by step. He was really worried about them.

However, the conservative Dunleavy did not let Curry play the shooting guard. Instead, he asked Curry to control the ball and Baron Davis played the shooting guard.

The ball flew out of the baseline, and the Clippers still had the ball.

The thought flashed by, Randolph came to the high post to support, Curry took a step back with the ball, and chose to give the ball to Randolph.

Curry tried to avoid Kobe's block and dodged backwards in the air.

"You're playing well, boy, you're playing well, but I don't think it's necessary for me to take action myself. You're still a little young, don't you dare to shoot? I heard that you are a very good shooter!"

Dunleavy was very satisfied with Curry's performance and believed he played his due role, especially since Davis was not in good condition tonight.

They have rushed to the three-second zone and cannot retreat. This is a dialogue between strength and skill!

Curry played surprisingly well in the second half of the third quarter, successfully linking up the team's offense and helping the Clippers chase the score to 67:71, only 4 points behind the Lakers.

Anyway, in the first game, various combinations can be tried. Curry's off-ball ability determines that he can play as a shooting guard.

Dunleavy originally built Curry in the direction of a traditional point guard, and he often practiced high-position support in tactical training.

Min Congda previously thought that Curry would be weak, so he felt guilty for Curry and took him to a height that he shouldn't have.

It can only be said that Min Congda is very accurate when it comes to football, but he really doesn’t know how to judge people, especially their potential.

It's a pity that Kobe occupied the most advantageous position and still slapped Curry's shot in the air!

Curry's slightly thin body lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, Artest, the striker with the strongest defensive coverage ability, was attracted by Randolph, leaving an open space under the basket.

"There is no retreat, there is no way to pass the ball, we have to go forward!"

Later, I discovered that Curry was still very good and should be able to gain a foothold in the NBA, and this feeling of guilt disappeared.

67:73, the score difference remained at a safe distance of 6 points.

This sentence slightly stimulated Kobe. He pursed his lips and said harshly: "Because I can get in, but you can't."

Ada saw Min Congda sighing anxiously, with a very anxious expression, and comforted: "Mr. Smart, we are only 4 points behind now, and there is still time in the fourth quarter. We have a chance."

The third quarter is over and the game is off.

Curry's appearance once again changed the Clippers' offensive style. Both sides began to speed up. Odom controlled the ball and broke through the basket directly from the middle and succeeded in a one-arm split dunk!

Min Congda thought: "Ada, you don't understand. I'm anxious because I'm only four points behind. If I'm behind by 40 points, I'll go home and go to bed. Why are I watching the game so late?"

Curry caught the ball and made a layup!

The players were sweating constantly, and a 48-minute game was coming to an end before they knew it.

Then he accelerated and cut inside, and cooperated with Thornton on a cross screen, slipped to the basket, and Randolph passed a through ball into the three-second zone.

Dell Curry cheered on the sidelines for his son's second goal.

Don't panic, the Lakers are invincible, they are still leading, there is no problem.

The first direct conversation between the two in the game!

Curry leaned on Kobe and wanted to lay up, but Kobe resisted and blocked Curry like a wall!

This shot is indeed beautiful, a classic high-post support tactic, which confuses the Lakers' defense after cross-positioning.

The audience shouted wildly, and someone shouted: "Challenge Kobe, you are too young!"

The boos grew louder and louder than ever.

Curry did not wait for his teammates to come over and pull him. Instead, he stood up with his hands on the floor and ran to the baseline to serve.

Kobe stood in front of him and said coldly: "Welcome to the NBA, the rookie No. 1 pick."
