I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 126 Little Cyclone Curry ([-]rd update)
The clothes are all in the hotel, and Min Congda wants to send Ada back to the hotel.

Ada said that it would be fine for others to give it to her, but Min Congda insisted on giving it to her.

"You were splashed with drinks because of me. I should send you back, let's go."

Ada no longer refused, and obediently followed Min Congda to leave Madison, and went back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes.

At this time in the Clippers locker room, Dunleavy asked the players to increase the transfer of the ball in the second half to better break the Knicks' defense around the front.

"More transfers, more runs, more interspersed!"

Dunleavy emphasized that when facing the opponent's active defense, it is necessary to use active offense to resolve it.

Curry didn't take it seriously, thinking: "That also means more mistakes."

Of course, Curry won't say anything. He played according to Dunleavy's arrangement in the first half.

In the second quarter, he reduced turnovers, played more steadily, and hit important shots.

But the Clippers were only tied with the Knicks, and did not have enough advantage.

If it continues at this pace, it will be a tug of war.

The two sides must fight fiercely until the last moment.

At the end of the intermission, the two sides re-entered the game and returned to the game.

Curry found that Min Congda was not on the sidelines, and asked, "Where did Smart go?"

Little Jordan replied: "Someone just spilled a drink on Miss Ada, and Mr. Smart sent her back to change her clothes."

Baron Davis said: "Stephen, don't forget our challenge. You played well in the last game, but not tonight."

Curry said: "You can watch the third quarter."

Baron said: "No problem, play according to your own ideas, and I will pass the ball to you. But if you can't score, don't blame me."

"Old Deng has nothing to say."

"The ball is in our hands, what can he say?"

The two point guards didn't completely listen to Dunleavy.

That's the way professional teams are, unlike college teams.

Colleges are dominated by coaches, especially well-known coaches.

Student players are their pawns, playing a role under the coach's arrangement.

In professional teams, players and coaches are in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship.

Everyone is a colleague who works together. After discussing everything, the players have more freedom.

Dunleavy can't have absolute control in the current Clippers.

One of Davis and Curry is the boss and the other is the champion, and both have their own ideas.

Of course, everyone's ideas are for the Clippers to win.

It's not like a traitor is thinking about the team losing everything.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Curry showed his unique thinking.

He changed his steady running position in the first half and began to flexibly intersperse the Knicks' bottom line.

Lao Deng took a look and told you to organize the drop ball well. You f---ing ran to the bottom line. Did you organize it like this?

But Dunleavy immediately had nothing to say, and Curry used the cover to make a return move and slipped to the left corner.

Baron Davis's pass arrives immediately, Curry catches the ball and makes a quick three-pointer!
The ball pierced Madison's sky and hit it accurately!
For the first offense in the second half, the Clippers did not launch from the inside.

Instead, let Curry hit the first three-pointer, which is a signal.

But the Knicks players didn't realize that they were still playing according to the established arrangement.

In the positional battle, David Lee went to the high position to catch the ball and opened up the defense.

Duhon passed the ball to David Lee, high support.

Duhon walks around David Lee for a cut and Curry clings.

Suddenly, Curry gave up on Duhon's clinging, and instead double-teamed David Lee with Randolph!
It was a very risky defensive method. Once David Lee reacted, Du Hong passed through the basket and made an air cut.

But the double-team was very fast, and Curry took the ball out of David Lee's hand and made a steal!

The Clippers counterattacked, Curry protected the ball and advanced quickly, and came to the frontcourt for a little observation.

Randolph had a chance to play inside, but David Lee returned to the defense quickly and blocked Randolph again.

If Curry is a tall point guard or forward, he will choose to hang a pass inside to crack the front.

But Curry didn't. He stopped inside the three-point line and suddenly made a mid-range jumper!

Before Du Hong had time to catch up and come back, he watched Curry make a shot and hit a two-pointer!
At the beginning of the third quarter, Curry played extremely strong offensively and defensively.

This is not Dunleavy's style of play at all, but if the goal is scored, it is a good goal.

Lao Deng glanced at the auditorium, Smart was not there, he should be very excited to see this guy.

Min Congda didn't know if he was excited or not, but the New York fans at the scene were very excited.

They applauded Curry's performance. There is no way that even if he wears the Clippers jersey, the Knicks still like him very much.

With two goals scored, Curry has already scored 10 points.

10 points obviously won't satisfy him.

He realized he was feeling hot.

Fortunately, Baron Davis saw that Curry had good touch.

He didn't pass the ball to Curry because of the challenge the two agreed upon.

Instead, he took the initiative to hand the ball to Curry on offense and watched the kid perform.

When Curry faced Duhon's defense and hit a three-pointer again, D'Antoni on the sidelines couldn't sit still.

He called a timeout to rearrange the defense.

what happened?The forward movement and contraction in the first half were useless in the second half.

It was easily torn by Curry's three-pointer.

His shot was so decisive that the defenders had no time to react.

"Stephen! Stephen! Come to New York, Stephen!"

On the sidelines, Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan, yelled at Curry.

New Yorkers did not give up the idea of ​​letting Curry come to New York, and they should not be separated if they are like-minded.

But Curry just smiled, he appreciated New York's kindness, and now he has Bole to repay.

"Good shot Stephen, a goal is a good shot."

Dunleavy praised Curry, and Curry nodded, thinking that there would be a "but" behind it.

As a result, Dunleavy didn't say but this time, he didn't say "but this ball shouldn't be played like this".

He skipped a short timeout, however, to give the players a re-emphasis on the defense.

"Keep defensive formation, bite one-on-one, don't give them a chance to open outside. You have to keep an eye on Kaman inside. Keep the pressure on them, don't let them three points!"

The Knicks are the team with the most three-pointers in the league, averaging 9 per game, and their shooting percentage is not bad.

Of the five starters, four are capable of three-pointers, which requires the Clippers not to easily engage in contraction defense.

The Knicks' lineup of four-shooters at the center can be said to be very advanced at the moment.

The weakness is of course that the inside line is weak, and the rebounds will be exploded. The Knicks' rebounds are at the bottom of the league.

The commentators before the game believed that the Clippers would take advantage of black and white to attack the Knicks inside.

Of course D'Antoni also thought of it, so he used a shrinking defensive formation.

But he didn't expect the Clippers to stop them in the third quarter not from the inside, but from the outside with a three-pointer.

After a short timeout, the game continued. Wilson Chandler forced Thornton and scored at the basket.

The Clippers served quickly, and Baron Davis passed the ball to Curry before halftime.

Curry suddenly accelerated to the basket. He was not particularly fast, but he had an excellent rhythm.

The meaning of a good rhythm is that through the adjustment of the step point, you can beat the time difference and avoid the opponent's block.

Curry dribbled the ball to the basket with his left hand. Facing the defense of center Jeffries, he slowed down and staggered the opponent, then switched to his right hand to throw a shot, and hit two points again!
Curry showed confidence. After scoring the goal, he did not retreat immediately, but launched an on-the-spot counter-grab in the frontcourt!

The Knicks served carelessly, but Duhon was pressed by Curry and the ball was robbed!

The dexterous Curry won the ball. This time he chose a lob to the inside, and Randolph caught the ball and dunked with one hand!

62: 55!

Curry led a whirlwind offense, and the Clippers led the Knicks by 7 points in the third quarter.

He is simply a little whirlwind!

Curry looked at Min Congda's seat on the sidelines again, but it was still empty.

I thought to myself: "Why hasn't Smart come back, I really want him to see my performance."
