Chapter 236 Staples Curse
Zhang Yu just remembered Curry's curse at the Staples Center. His first consecutive three-pointer hit record was broken at the Lakers' home court, and this is not an isolated case. Curry left Staples There are many famous scenes, the most well-known of which is of course that the fast break slides to + the shot is not sticky.

As long as he plays at the Lakers' home court, Curry will almost certainly pull his hips. According to expert analysis, this may be related to the floor color and lighting of the Lakers' home court. Curry's eyesight is not very good. He has been short-sighted since he was a child. The Staples Center is dim The dominant color might make it difficult for him to see the rim.

It is worth mentioning that, also playing at the Staples Center, Curry often played well at home with the Clippers, and only suffered from a curse when he was playing against the Lakers.

Of course, this is not absolute. Last season, Curry broke the record for three-pointers in a single game at the Staples Center, and even made a buzzer lore. It can be seen that there is no such thing as the "Staples Curse". .

According to Zhang Yu's guess, the volatility of three-pointers is inherently high. Maybe the lights at the Staples Center will indeed have an impact on Curry, but it will never prevent him from making a three-pointer. It should be just in time for Curry. The poor state of Curry magnified this effect, giving people the impression that Curry would stretch his hips at the Staples Center.

In fact, after Curry made 10 of 0 shots at home with the Lakers, he returned home and scored 13 three-pointers in the game against the Pelicans, breaking the single-game three-point record and opening the game quite legendaryly. Set the record for the second consecutive three-pointer.

It is precisely because he focused on the three-pointer that Zhang Yu's thinking went into a misunderstanding. He always wanted to let Curry break, or stop falling into this curse, and let him make a three-pointer. But Silas's words reminded him, why should Curry be obsessed with shooting three-pointers?
After returning to the visiting team's locker room, Zhang Yu picked up the tactical board, stood in front of everyone, and said:

"In the first half, everyone performed well. Everyone was very focused. In the second half, we must continue to cheer up, protect the rebounds in the backcourt, keep our feet moving on the defensive end, don't give the opponent open opportunities, and actively run when attacking. , the Lakers are old, we have to take advantage of our vitality..."

He encouraged the players, poured chicken soup, and took Butler and Matthews who played well in the first half as examples, and praised them a lot, then changed the subject and looked at Yi Jianlian:
"UA, you will replace Drummond later."

Yi Jianlian, who was wiping his sweat, was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a muffled voice:
"No problem, coach."

Privately, he calls Zhang Yu "Brother Yu", but in the team, he calls Zhang Yu "coach".

Zhang Yu then said to Curry:

"Stephen, in the second half you will hold the ball, play with Tyson and Yi pick-and-roll, everything will be played according to the tactics, and the subsequent changes will be handled by you, but the best choice is to hit the basket and finish. The Lakers lack Bynum, the penalty area The defense is a lot weaker than before, I hope you can play the ball threat first, and then pass the ball, understand?"

"No problem, boss, I know how to fight." Curry responded.

"Well...Of course, if you get an open chance, you can also shoot a three-pointer, but try not to force the shot. When you are in your rhythm, then shoot." Zhang Yu thought for a while and added.

Curry nodded with a wry smile. He knew how bad his shooting performance was in the first half. Even if Zhang Yu didn't say anything, he wouldn't shoot three-pointers casually in the second half.

He doesn't know what's going on, he just couldn't shoot the ball today, he obviously got an open chance, but even if he couldn't make a three-pointer, he was helpless.

……

Soon, the 15-minute intermission passed, and the two sides returned to the court to continue the game.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yang Yi looked at the screen, his eyes lit up, and he said a little excitedly:

"Zhang Yu replaced Ah Lian and put Green off the court. The other four Warriors were all starters in the first half, but they were replaced at the power forward position. The Lakers still maintained the starting lineup in the first half. It seems that Zhang Yu has a lot of trust in Ah Lian, let him confront Odom."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said:
"UA played well in the first half, played 7 minutes, made 2 of 1 three-pointers, scored 3 points and 3 rebounds, and felt very good. I hope it can perform well in the second half."

In the text live broadcast room, after the audience saw Ah Lian playing, the news also swiped across the screen:

"Damn it, Emperor Yi and his starting partner are on the stage? 666!"

"Emperor Yi goes out to fight, not a single blade of grass grows!"

"I think Space Yi will definitely be able to score 8 points and 8 rebounds today, and win Coach Z's trust and become the starter. Brothers, what do you say?"

"I said, don't you seem to have nothing to do? There is only one Chinese in the NBA, Ah Lian. If you do what you want, you can do it? You know how to make sarcastic remarks!"

"Hehe, he's reduced to a substitute now, can't he make fun of it?"

"Fuck you, you black Arabs are just not patriotic..."

Yi Jianlian's playing caused a bigger sensation than Kobe Curry. There was chaos in the live broadcast room. Those who teased Yi Jianlian and those who supported Yi Jianlian were divided into two groups, facing each other. For a while, no one paid attention to the game.

For Yi Jianlian, domestic fans have complicated feelings. On the one hand, they regard him as Yao Ming’s successor, the future leader of Chinese basketball, and the leader of the national team; From a No. 7 pick to a marginal substitute, he almost couldn't even play in the NBA, embarrassing China.

His performance in the Nets last season was disastrous. He did not play with a lot of possessions, and his efficiency was bleak. It is generally believed that Yi Jianlian will return to the CBA to play after his rookie contract ends. It is impossible to have a NBA teams want him.

Even after the Warriors and the Nets completed the deal, domestic fans ridiculed that Yi Jianlian was traded by the Warriors because of Zhang Yu's relationship. Good Azubuike and Reggie Williams went to trade for Yi Jianlian, and the Warriors lost a lot of money in this deal.

But after the start of the new season, although this kind of voice still exists, it has become smaller. On the one hand, Reggie Williams did not play well in the preseason. After the start of the season, in the only two games, he also Didn't get any chance to play.

Azubuike did not decline, but Clay and Tony Allen have conquered the Warriors fans with their outstanding performance in just 3 games, and Azubuike has been almost forgotten.

More importantly, Yi Jianlian himself is strong enough. In these three games, although his statistics are average, only 7.6 points and 3.3 rebounds, but his efficiency is very high, shooting 57% from the field and 38.9% from the three-point range. , The defense is also above the standard, often handing over brilliant defensive performances, perfectly qualified for the position of backup power forward, Warriors fans have apologized to him.

Only those who had high hopes for him before and were misled by the unscrupulous domestic media into thinking that he could become an All-Star or even a superstar, still ridiculed Yi Jianlian.

After they discovered that Yi Jianlian was not as powerful as reported by the unscrupulous media, they immediately went to the other extreme, from the most exaggerated person who praised Yi Jianlian to the most hard-working person who blacked Yi Jianlian.

Today, they didn't pay attention to the game between the Warriors and the Lakers at all, they just focused all their attention on Yi Jianlian, waiting for him to perform abnormally, and then make a big show.

　The first update, there will be a second update of 6000 words in the evening.
