From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 150 Durant's Haze
January 1rd is a day that many fans look forward to.

The Boston Celtics, No. [-] in the East, played against the Golden State Warriors, No. [-] in the West.

For this game, many people have long been impatient.

Especially the diehard fans of Jianghu, they firmly believe that Jianghu will become the ruler of this alliance in the future.

Therefore, the diehard fans of Jianghu also want to see what kind of performance Jianghu can perform against the Warriors who rule this era.

As for the Warriors fans, they firmly believe that the Warriors with four All-Stars are absolutely invincible in this era, and those who can compete with them must be the strongest teams in history.

What 96 Bulls, 01 Lakers, an absolutely dominant team, can have a [-]-[-] split with the Warriors.

Not all cats and dogs can come to touch porcelain.

The Celtics led by Jianghu are cats and dogs in their eyes.

"I will not die, you are all princes."

"The only one who can defeat me is me!!"

Although the Warriors fans don't say it, they think so in their hearts.

All of them also want to see how the Celtics, an arrogant team that tried to challenge the authority of the Warriors, was defeated.

The perception of neutral fans is simple.

They just want to know, the strongest rookie of this era vs. the strongest team of this era, who will win?
The major TV stations in the United States have long been ready to broadcast, and this game is a live broadcast game across the United States.

TNT sent their F4 team, ESPN sent Hubie Brown and Bill Wharton, and CBS also sent its own ace commentator.

At the same time, CCTV Fifth Channel also chose to broadcast the game live.

Not a broadcast, but a live broadcast.

Director Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia flew to Auckland by plane to explain the match on the spot. At the same time, CCTV reporter Zhang Manyuan also came to the scene to interview Jianghu for the first time.

All eyes, this game is definitely all eyes.

At 6:[-] p.m., just as Jiang Hu got off the team bus, he was intercepted by CCTV on the way into the arena and was invited to be interviewed.

If it was a general interview, Jianghu would refuse.

But for Yang Ma's interview, Jianghu dare not refuse.

So Jianghu was stopped on his way to the locker room.

Today's Jianghu is wearing a tailor-made black suit and handsome sunglasses, looking very cold.

CCTV reporter Zhang Manyuan was stunned for a while when she saw Jianghu's attire. After the camera was turned on, she kept staring at Jianghu in a daze, and even forgot to interview.

"Cough cough~"

It wasn't until Jianghu coughed politely that Zhang Manyuan realized that he was doing a live interview and he wasn't chasing stars.

"Hello, Xiao Jiang, long time no see!!"

Zhang Manyuan also smiled at Jianghu to express his gratitude to Jianghu for hinting softly by coughing instead of facing the camera directly to remind him.

"Hello, Miss Zhang, long time no see!!"

Jiang Hu also responded hypocritically to the other party. In fact, he didn't remember where he had seen her before.

Zhang Manyuan is currently CCTV's ace female reporter in basketball. As a reporter, her professionalism is naturally impeccable. Although she loves Jianghu very much, she does not hesitate to ask questions and is not polite at all.

"Will you be under a lot of pressure against a team like the Golden State Warriors tonight? What are your expectations for this game? Will you be against top players like Curry and Durant?" Are you nervous?"

Jianghu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Pressure? Sorry, we don't have this thing, and we don't have it at all!!"

"The Warriors are the defending champions. They have two MVP-level superstars. For us, of course we want to beat them, but if we lose, it is also a normal thing for us."

"We will be very happy if we win, and we will not be depressed if we lose. Most of the players on our team are young people under the age of 25. Only Irving has the experience of playing against them on the best stage. Everyone else has experience. It's blank."

"For me, I'm very confident against all the opponents, there will be no opponents who are afraid, but the Golden State Warriors are really the biggest challenge for us."

"At the same time, I think these young people on our team, including me, can definitely learn a lot in the game against the Warriors, because they are champions, winners, and they have completely brought basketball into the small ball era. The dominant team of the era."

Faced with CCTV's interview, Jianghu chose to tell the truth.

The Warriors are indeed the only team he is not sure of winning. After all, they are the best team in this era, and it is too much to take for granted that they can beat them casually.

After the interview, Jianghu left the player tunnel and went to the locker room.

The time came to 7:[-] in the evening, with one hour left before the game.

The Celtics, who came from afar, started warming up early. The players were very excited about being able to play against the Golden State Warriors, and at the same time they were very involved in the warming up, even Irving was no exception.

The Golden State Warriors players showed up at the Oracle Arena on time half an hour before the game.

The high-spirited and aggressive Green walked in the front and led the team.

Curry followed behind, bouncing and trotting into the arena.

Then there are Thompson and Iguodala who are talking and laughing.

Then there is Durant, who is wearing white headphones, carrying a schoolbag, stockings and slippers, and he is carrying the sneakers for the game.

Durant has a strange habit. Others change their shoes in the locker room, but he likes to change them on the sidelines.

In the pre-match training, each side occupied a half of the court, and no one said hello.

Curry began to play the show operation he would play every game again. He first threw a three-pointer in the player tunnel, which aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Then he ran to the midfield and started throwing three-pointers.

His way of warming up is very special, and Jianghu has seen it online before.

He started shooting from the center line, took a shot and took a step forward until he got to the free throw line, and then started to step back, take a step back and take a shot.

Curry's hand feeling is very good today, and it is completely impossible to tell from his warm-up that he has been absent from the game for a month.

Curry was shooting a three-pointer on the court, and the trainer beside him was helping him count while passing the ball. Jianghu looked over from time to time, and every time he looked over, he found that Curry hadn't missed a single shot. Hearing the trainer's report Counting, Jianghu learned that Curry hit 6 consecutive three-pointers in 97 minutes.

"As expected of Ku Ritian, he is really awesome!!"

Jianghu uses the system's survey ability value, Curry's three-pointer ability value is as high as 100 points, the title of NBA three-pointer god, he is indeed well-deserved.

The rivers and lakes are also constantly practicing three-pointers. Although his three-pointer performance this season is destined to break the rookie season's three-pointer record, but when it comes to three-pointers, he feels that he is still unable to compare with Curry. .

Although he currently has a 42% three-point shooting rate, he averaged 3.4 three-pointers per game, scoring more than 10 points per game with three-pointers.

But it is still incomparable with No. 1 in the history of three-pointers.

But fortunately, he doesn't rely on three-pointers for food, he relies on all-round shooting range without dead ends, and speed combined with shooting ability.

After a simple warm-up, both teams are ready to go back to the locker room.

Seeing that Curry was still shooting happily, Jiang Hu couldn't help walking forward and reaching out to say hello.

"Hey Stephen, nice to meet you."

"Oh bro, how are you, nice to meet you too."

Kuli stretched out his right hand with a smile to give Jianghu a high-five, and said a sentence of Chinese with a substandard accent to Jianghu.

"I'm fine buddy, your threes are really cool."

"There is still a while before the game starts, how about a three-pointer?"

"I want to see how strong you are!!"

Jiang Hu raised his eyebrows with interest and said.

Jianghu also wanted to know what level his three-pointers were.

"How do you want to compare, brother, this is my field, just say what you want, I will play with you."

Curry still responded with a smile. Although he usually looks kind and has a very good temper, he is actually very confident and proud of his skills.

"Just like the three-point contest."

"Okay, come on, you go first."

With a calm smile, Curry reached out to Jianghu to signal him to start first.

When it comes to three-pointers, Stephen Curry has never persuaded anyone in his life.

"Would you like some chips? It's too boring to play with Guangbi." Jianghu said playfully.

"What bargaining chip do you want?" Seeing that Jiang Hu was serious, Curry's expression also calmed down, and he showed interest in Jiang Hu.

This kid, you don't want to give me money, do you?
"Play small, let's have a pair of autographed shoes, the loser will sign for the winner."

If it was money, Curry might not be happy, but when he heard the bet on sneakers, Curry said with great interest:
"Cool, man, I love this game."

"Your signature sneakers are cool, I love them."

Jianghu's personal signature sneakers "Jianghu Generation" have been officially released during the Christmas season. He has filmed an advertisement for it early, and it has been put on sale in various countries, and the sales volume is not bad.

"Haha, let's talk about it after you win."

The assistant coach of the Warriors pushed a few shelf carts full of basketballs over, and the choice of Jianghu was a three-point contest.

1: The player with the highest score within 1 minute of the time limit wins.

2: A total of five shooting points
3：每个投篮点都会放置5个球，其中包括橘色球4个（1分）和1个花球（2分）
4: Participating players can arbitrarily designate a point where 5 balls are placed, with a total score of 34 points. Since there are no balls on the field, ordinary basketballs are used instead. The last ball at each point is a flower ball by default. , the curd point is a free choice.

The players of the two teams had almost warmed up. Seeing that they were going to have a three-point shootout, they pulled away from the field and stood on the sidelines to watch.

"Then I started right away?"

Jianghu is too lazy to be polite. This is not a formal game, and the person on the opposite side is Curry. Since you let me go first, it seems that I don't have the need to be humble.

He uses the right corner as the flower ball point and starts shooting from the left corner.

"brush."

"brush."

"brush."

In the first point, all five goals were scored, and in the second point, all four goals were scored and a bouquet was lost.

The third point is to score all five goals.

The fourth point, all five goals scored.

At the fifth point, four flower balls were scored and one was lost.

The people standing on the sidelines were stunned. It's a bit scary that Jianghu's height can still have such a fast shot speed and such a terrible hit rate.

Especially the group of blacksmith shooters like Smart and Morris felt even more ashamed. As well-known 3D players, their shooting stability was simply not comparable to that of Jianghu, let alone singled out with Curry.

Want to one-on-one with Curry? ?
I can't even think about it...

On the scene, only Curry and Thompson remained as usual, and their expressions did not change at all. Jianghu's grades are very good, but as long as they don't get full marks, they are not invincible in their eyes.

"Clap clap clap."

"It's amazing, brother, as expected of a rookie who ranks in the forefront of the MVP."

"You're making me panic."

After Jianghu finished shooting, Curry applauded vigorously for his face, with a smile all over his face, and Jianghu didn't even see that he was flustered at all.

Stephen.
A schoolboy who loves to lie.

Jianghu shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, you lost two bouquets, here's your chance, buddy!!"

Jianghu is not satisfied with his shooting performance today. He once shot 25 of 25 in the Chicago joint trial training, and he can often shoot 25 of 25 during training. With more than 100 entries, today's performance can be said to be not particularly good.

"Hey, since you gave me the chance, I'm not going to be polite."

"Look at me, man!!"

Curry patted Jianghu on the shoulder, his face full of complacency.

He walked forward with a smile, set the top of the arc as the bouquet point, and went straight to the left bottom corner.

He is in the same order as Jianghu.

Curry trotted to the left bottom corner, picked up the ball on the trolley and started to shoot. Almost as soon as the last ball left his hand, his hand touched the next ball. The speed was extremely fast, and Jianghu even Feels like he can see afterimages of Curry's shots.

Often the first ball has just entered the basket, and the second ball is already flying in the air.

The first shot point, all five shots.

At the second shooting point, the first ball was a little crooked and came out of the frame, and the second ball was also crooked and came out of the frame.

The faces of the Warriors changed drastically, and they began to whisper.

"No, two of them have been lost here."

"If you want to win, it's a bit difficult!!"

Curry's teammates, including Green and Durant, felt that Curry would lose the game. Only Thompson said with a normal expression:

"Don't worry, he will definitely not lose."

Sure enough, although he missed two goals in a row, Curry immediately adjusted and hit the next three goals in a row.

At the third point, when Curry's flower ball point was reached, he had obviously entered the state, making consecutive shots, and the speed of his shots was so fast that he had no time to look at the basket.

At the fourth point, all five shots were hit.

At the fifth point, he still hit all five shots.

"Wuhu~yeah"

After throwing the last ball, Curry spit out the braces and held them in his mouth, maintaining a shooting posture, showing a happy smile.

"Clap clap clap."

Jianghu also warmly applauded and complimented Curry, and he was very indifferent to losing this small game.

"Excellent performance, worthy of being the strongest shooter in history."

"I'm convinced that I lost."

"Haha, no matter where, your performance is not bad."

Both of them scored 23 goals, Jianghu lost two flower balls for 30 points, and Curry lost two ordinary balls for 32 points, so in the end, Curry won the game.

Jianghu took out the sneakers he had prepared, signed them in a single game and gave them to Curry. Curry took them with a smile, and the two still took a photo on the sidelines.

Jianghu can guarantee: Nike will make this photo appear on the headlines of many sports websites, and the sneakers in Jianghu's hands will be analyzed and sold.

Poor Curry, still complacent about winning the game, has no idea that he has been tricked.

After taking a group photo, the two exchanged a wave of contact information and chatted with each other by the way.

Jianghu said that his hand feeling is average, and next time he can compete in public. The All-Star three-point contest is a good occasion.

"Let Clay come too."

Jianghu pointed to Klay Thompson.

"The three of us together, have an epic contest of three-pointers."

"No problem, I will convince him!!"

Curry smiled and agreed.

He is very willing to participate in the three-point shooting contest, but the prerequisite is that there must be enough opponents, otherwise he will feel boring if he wins.

Jianghu smiled and waved to Curry, then turned and left.

In the corner, there was a tall and long-armed black and thin man with a haze all over his face.

That was Kevin Durant, the No. 07 talent list in [-], a genius keyboard player, who thinks he is the strongest in the league, and his teammates are cats and dogs.

Seeing the intimate interaction between Curry and Jianghu, Durant was very unhappy.

From the beginning to the end, Jianghu never greeted him once, or even looked at him.

He felt the extreme disrespect for him in Jianghu.

"I'm an MVP too!!"

"Why? Talking to him so happily, but ignoring me??"
