At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 24 Curry's Explosion

The next day, the Warriors, who had just finished the game against the Rockets, were about to face the challenge of the Kings.

I have to say that the summer league schedule is still quite dense, and the Warriors need to play 5 games in a week, which is also a challenge for many rookies.

In this game, the Kings team is led by this year's No. 4 pick Tyreke Evans. The team also includes the future South China Tigers Jason Thompson, the Rockets' abandoned player Dante Green, and Israel's Jordan Omi Ka. Many titans including Spee.

Among them, Tyreke Evans, as the representative of the peak when he debuted in the NBA, has explosive physical fitness among the rookies. He is known as James at the point guard position. The data of 20+5+5 is placed.

After the start of the game, Du Zhe played with the starting lineup. It can be seen that, except for Du Zhe who has been training and maintaining his condition for the past few months, several starters have not yet fully recovered from yesterday's game against the Rockets.

After the start of the game, Du Zhe planned to follow yesterday's rhythm and then use the skill of the stealer's glove in the second half.

"Stephen!" Du Zhe called Curry shortly after the game started, preparing to set up a pick-and-roll screen for the opponent.

The switch after the pick-and-roll was very successful, and now the defensive player facing Curry has become the Kings small forward Casspi.

Casspi is not fast and his body is not considered strong. Facing his defense, Curry intends to rely on his agility to shake the opponent away and gain shooting space.

Du Zhe, after completing the pick-and-roll, followed the tactics and squatted in the bottom corner, waiting for the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.

Just as he was in position, he saw Curry, who was changing direction, slipping to the ground and covering his ankle with one hand.

This...Curry's ankle is only the second game, so it won't work?Du Zhe couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Fortunately, after being diagnosed by the team doctor, it was just a minor sprain, and he could return to the game after a little treatment.

Curry, who reappeared, played extremely resolutely. Unfortunately, his performance was obviously limited due to injuries, and several attacks were all fruitless.

Seeing that the team might not be able to hold on any longer, Du Zhe had no choice but to change the rhythm and activate the stealer's glove skill in advance.

And his target was the opponent player Omi Casspi.

There is no way, the players on the king's field today do not have the kind of "singular monsters" with outstanding individual values. Du Zhe can only imitate Casspi's three-point ability, at least the opponent's skill is also considered in the summer league. Not bad.

Although Du Zhe's current ability to break through with the ball can only be described as tragic, fortunately, his reputation for being the best in pornographic movies has spread far and wide, so Casspi does not dare to stick too close to him in defense.

This allowed Du Zhe to get a few good three-point shots.

In addition, Anthony Randolph's performance can be called Summer League Garnett, so even if Curry faced Evans' defense repeatedly, the point difference between the two teams did not widen too much.

At the end of the first half, Du Zhe scored 7 points by making 3 of 9 three-pointers. On the defensive end, he was both a father and a mother. He not only had to guard Casspi, but also helped defend Evans. To reduce the pressure on Curry who played with injuries.

Fortunately, his physical fitness is pretty good now in Summer League, and he doesn't have much pressure to defend the entire court.

However, it is a bit miserable for Curry. He was troubled by injuries in the second game of his career. At the same time, Evans' strong body also caused him to be troubled on both offense and defense.

Curry took 8 shots in the entire first half, but unfortunately he didn't hit any of them.

This makes some die-hard Warriors fans unavoidably worried. The team will not use the precious No. [-] pick to select a parallel importer with physical glass, right?
"Stephen, how is your injury?" Du Zhe asked casually, looking at Curry who was sitting next to him and receiving treatment from the team doctor.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I feel like I can be Kobe's closed disciple..." Curry's tone was slightly self-deprecating, but also a little helpless.

"What's the matter? Many superstars who have become famous have not performed well in the Summer League since their debut. This is a process of getting used to it slowly."

"I'll play a few more pick-and-rolls for you in the third quarter. If I have the opportunity to pass you a few more, try to see if you can find the touch."

Du Zhe's encouragement relieved Curry a little bit of the burden. He found that although the Huaguo player looked similar to him in age, he seemed to have a mature leadership temperament.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Du Zhe seized the opportunity while defending Casspi and intercepted the pass of the Kings.

Quickly push down to counterattack, just when everyone thought Du Zhe was going to make a slam dunk, knocking over the opponent who was returning to defense like yesterday.

However, Du Zhe passed the ball backhand to Curry who followed up and lurked outside the three-point line.

No way, today is different from the past, today he does not have the "ultimate slam dunk king" James White's dunk skill blessing, facing the Kings players who have already returned to defense, he really does not have full confidence in dunking the ball.

However, Curry, who received the ball, was very moved. Du Zhe Mingming had the opportunity to score directly, but he was willing to distribute the ball selflessly.

Du Zhe's trust shook Curry's heart. Suddenly, he seized the opportunity to make a decisive shot, and finally hit the first three-pointer of the game.

"Thank you, Du!" When returning to defense, Curry thanked Du Zhe from the bottom of his heart.

In the next round, Du Zhe and Curry once again conducted a wave of pick-and-roll cooperation.

Facing Casspi's defense again, Curry didn't sprain his ankle again this time. He made a few changes in direction to open up space, and made a decisive shot to score another goal.

It can only be said that a shooter's touch is sometimes a very strange thing. Curry, who made 8 of 0 shots in the first half, turned out to be unstoppable after scoring several goals in a row, and entered a state of shooting whatever he wanted.

Even in another fast break cooperation with Du Zhe, Curry, who took the lead, completed a dunk without defense.

This immediately reversed the wind direction in the second half. In the third and fourth quarters, Curry scored 22 points on his own, successfully smoothing the point difference and successfully dragging the game into overtime.

After entering overtime, Curry's touch was as hot as ever. He scored another 5 points in overtime to help the Warriors complete the reversal and beat the Kings led by Evans with a score of 96:92.

And Du Zhe also scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals in a low-key way. After Curry took over the game on the offensive end, he devoted more energy to the defensive end.

After the game, as the best player in the game, Curry praised Du Zhe's performance in an interview.

"Du is the most selfless player I have ever seen. Whether it is the investment on the defensive end or the hard work on the offensive end, he can be called a model of professional players."

"It was the selfless dedication and trust of Du and other players that allowed me to struggle out of the quagmire of the first half."
