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

Chapter 62 Direct Conversation
With the experience of playing in the second quarter, Curry is more confident in his second appearance.

Advance with the ball in the backcourt and face Fisher.

Fisher is no longer a small fish in 01, but an old fish. He can't press the opponent's point guard from head to toe like he did back then, but maintains a normal defensive distance.

He even wants to make the distance here a little longer, because his legs and feet are slow, and if he gets closer, he will be passed by one step.

Curry dribbles to the top of the key and plays at the Staples Center, which feels like a different court.

Especially in the regular season, the scene is full of spectators. Behind the basket is a mountain-like auditorium and a sea of ​​fans.

Standing at the top of the arc with the ball, in addition to the defenders in front of you, the pressure from a large number of fans is enormous.

It was the first time for a rookie player to play in such a venue, even if no one was defending, his hands would shake when he shot the ball.

But Curry is a player who is more determined and stronger when he is under more pressure. He found that Lao Yu was two steps away from him.

"This distance can be shot directly!?"

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

Then speed up and cut inside, and Thornton made a cross-screen cooperation, slipped to the basket, and Randolph passed a through ball into the three-second zone.

Curry caught the ball and made a layup!

"Beautiful reverse run! Beautiful! Beautiful!"

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

This ball is indeed beautiful, a classic high-post support tactic, which confuses the Lakers' defense after crossing positions.

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

Min Congda folded his hands and shook his head, "The Lakers' lineup is a bit cumbersome, and they really suffer from such a flexible style of play on the defensive end. If you want to improve, you should replace Bynum and play a small lineup, let Powell or Odom played center."

"Of course, this kind of offense will not work, so the best way is to let Kobe defend Curry! No. 2 bald is really bad, and a crossover will be lost. What are you doing defending?"

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

Of course, it is impossible for the coach to change the strategy in one round in the actual game. After all, it is not a game, and you can do whatever you want the players to do.

Like Phil Jackson's coaching style, he likes to let players solve problems by themselves, rather than coaches to micromanage.

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

But Randolph changed his strategy and stopped fighting Artest. He mentioned the high position and cooperated with Curry to circle the screen.

Deng Levy originally built Curry in the direction of a traditional point guard, and he did not practice high-level support in his usual tactical training.

This time Fisher stared very closely, but Curry ran tirelessly, catching the ball, passing the ball, running again, and catching the ball again.

He ran out of the right corner. The Lakers' defensive rotation has been messed up. The low post Kaman misplaced Fisher!
Curry passed the ball to Kaman very selflessly. Kaman caught the ball and turned around without jumping too high. With a light hook, he scored two points!

"Hey! The rotation is in a mess. The Lakers players don't seem to be very agile. Haven't found their form because of the first game?"

Min Congda looked at the poor state of the Lakers, and the Clippers were pressing behind, and he was really sweating for them.

At the same time, Min Congda also wondered, is the Clippers I built so powerful?Can it be inseparable from the defending champion?
It must be an illusion, as if there is a saying that there are no underdogs in the NBA, and any team can win or lose.

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

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

Min Congda thought: "Ada, you don't understand, I am only worried because I am only four points behind. If I am behind by 40 points, I will go home and go to bed. What kind of game is watching so late."

Curry played unexpectedly well in the second half of the third quarter. He successfully connected the team's offense and helped the Clippers chase the score to 67:71, only 4 points behind the Lakers.

End of the third quarter, rest.

"You played well, boy, you played well, but I don't think I need to shoot it myself. You are still a little tender boy, don't you dare to shoot? I heard that you are very good at shooting!"

When Kobe was off the court, he used aggressive methods against Curry, trying to make Curry shoot randomly.

But Curry was not fooled, he just smiled and said, "I'm not you, just shoot around."

This sentence irritated Kobe a little, he pursed his lips, and said harshly: "Because I can get in, but you can't."

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

There was an opportunity in front of him, but he didn't dare to make a shot. In fact, he could shoot, but it didn't conform to the coach's arrangement.

Dunleavy is very satisfied with Curry's performance and believes that he has played his due role, especially Davis is not in good form tonight.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy kept Curry on the court, replaced Gordon with Davis, and played double point guards.

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

However, the conservative Dunleavy did not let Curry play the shooting guard, but asked Curry to handle the ball and Baron Davis to play the shooting guard.

He felt that Baron was more suitable for shooting guards in terms of size and height, and Curry was a little too thin, and he was afraid that he would not be able to carry it.

"Old Deng, what kind of thinking is this, he went to Baron, and let Curry play point guard, you... Forget it, Curry may score three-pointers when he plays shooting guard. This brat, he played very well. He If I can play so-so, I will be worthy of him."

Min Congda thought that Curry would be very watery, so he felt guilty about Curry and took him to a height that he shouldn't have.

It was later discovered that Curry's level is still very good, and he should be able to gain a foothold in the NBA, and this sense of guilt disappeared.

It can only be said that Min Congda is very accurate in watching football, but he really has not figured out the way to judge people, especially potential.

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

On the field, Kobe saw that the point difference came to 4 points, and once again used his unsolvable singles to easily hit a jumper on the head of Baron Davis.

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

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

Curry held the ball from the outside, facing Jordan Farmar, he made an accelerated breakthrough in the middle, a naked burst without cover!
The speed is not fast, but the rhythm is very good, the combination of man and ball is very good, he reached the three-second zone, and Kobe assisted in the defense!

The first direct dialogue between the two in the game!
Curry leaned against Kobe for a layup, but Kobe resisted and blocked Curry like a wall!

"There is no retreat, no way to pass the ball, go up!"

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

Curry tried to evade Bryant's block with a back dodge in the air.

It's a pity that Kobe took the most favorable position and still slapped Curry's shot in the air!
Curry's slightly thin body lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

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

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

The booing was even louder and louder.

Curry didn't wait for his teammates to come and pull him, but stood up with his hands on the floor and ran to the bottom line to serve.

Kobe stood in front of him and said coldly: "Welcome to the NBA, rookie champion."
