Chapter 125: Too Fast for You to React

Maddie's face was covered with black lines, "I'm serious!" ”

Chris Webb said, "Okay, okay. We believe you are serious, so now tell me your reasons, why are you so optimistic about Chinese kids? ”

"Why?"

Maddie laughed, "Maybe you'll be in disbelief and even laugh at me after I tell me my reasons." ”

When Maddie said this, Mark Jackson was very interested, "What kind of shocking reason do you have?" Speak it up and listen to it! ”

Weber also said: "Yes, hurry up, you are too good at appetizing today!" ”

Maddie pondered for a moment and said, "I think he is very much like me when I was younger." ”

Mark Jackson: "......"

Weber: "......"

The two looked at each other, speechless for a while.

After a while, Webb asked, "Are you sure you're not joking?" ”

Maddie smiled wryly, "I said I meant it a long time ago, and before I stated the reason, I also said that you would be unbelievable. ”

Mark Jackson said, "Where is it unbelievable, we are shocked by your brazenness." ”

Webber replied: "I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”

Hearing the two say this, Maddie was anxious, "How can it be brazen?" Don't you know that Yi's draft template is me? ”

"Oh?"

The two forcibly pretended to be interested.

Seeing this, Maddie became even more anxious, and he explained: "Look at how similar our figures are! ”

Webb pursed his lips, "Look how blessed you are now...... How to compare with others, at most the height is about the same. ”

Mark Jackson agrees.

(⊙o⊙)…

Maddie was a little embarrassed, and then he forcibly explained: "I'm talking about before I retired!" ”

"At that time, I was invincible across the world!"

"Oh roar?!"

Webb and Jackson looked shocked.

Maddie even twitched the corners of his eyes this time, but he didn't care what the reaction of the two was, and continued his explanation, "At that time, I was, to put it mildly, the top scorer of Lianzhuang!" ”

"Roar!"

The two of them screamed again.

This time, Maddie was very calm, as steady as Mount Tai, as if she hadn't heard the strange screams of the two. He continued: "Although Brother has withdrawn from the Alliance, the legend of Brother is still circulating in the Alliance! ”

"When you look at Yi Yi's picturesque pull-up jumper, does it look like me used to be?"

The two nodded hurriedly, but in their hearts they secretly scolded Maddie for being shameless.

Webb stopped Maddie, who was still trying to continue, "OK! OK! I already know your reasons for supporting the Lakers, so it's your turn next! ”

Mark Jackson said: "Two teams, you each choose one side, then no matter which side I choose, it will be unfair to one person, because 1-2 is a loss." In that case, then I won't take sides. ”

Jackson actually wanted to support the Warriors in the first place.

But after Chris Webb said he wasn't as good as Kerr, he was a little embarrassed. In such a situation, it is difficult for him to continue to support the Warriors.

And the Lakers are not what he wants to support. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the strength of the Lakers is not bad, it is still a lot worse than a super strong team like the Warriors.

So he simply didn't support either side.

"It's about to start, so let's talk about the game first."

Mark Jackson began to change the subject as soon as he saw that the players on both sides of the court were already on the court.

——————

The only court in Oracle Arena is home to the protagonists of tonight's heavyweight showdown.

As the home team, the Warriors naturally enjoy the support of the fans. Especially when Curry, who was wearing white braces, shook his head and waved his hand to greet the fans in the arena, the Oracle Arena suddenly erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.

Seeing this, Yi Feng's battle intent in his heart became stronger.

For Curry, although it is the first time he has seen a real person, he is no stranger to it.

Last season's regular season MVP was the second player after Steve Nash to win this honor as the No. 1 player.

Whether it's soft talents like strength and jumping, or hard talents like height and reach, Curry doesn't have any of them that are particularly good.

Because his gifts are not reflected in these more common, obvious physical gifts.

His touch, his passing vision and spirituality, his ability to interpret the situation on the field, and his ability to understand tactics are all excellent.

Such a hidden talent is difficult to see. Therefore, even if he was so good, he was not favored at the beginning of the draft.

"Stephen Curry has NBA range, quick shooting and the ability to create chances, especially from mid-range, and will be a reliable rotation player in the NBA. Curry can run off the ball in the screen, find opportunities in the offensive and defensive rotation, he has good movement, and much of Curry's future depends on his development at the point guard position. Curry is too skinny as a shooting guard to give him an advantage when shooting himself. ”

Here's what a draft expert gave him before the draft. From the current point of view, there is no doubt that this expert has been slapped in the face.

Reliable rotation players?

Curry used his MVP-level performance to tell him that I was already a superstar!

In fact, Curry's NBA road is very similar to the routines in those third-rate online novels - being looked down upon by all kinds of things, ridiculed by all kinds of ridicule, and then angry and trying to stage a counterattack.

Being named to the All-Rookie First Team in his rookie season is enough to show that Curry has a lot of potential. But during his rookie contract, Curry continued to be affected by injuries and was dubbed the "Glass Man."

A genius ruined by injuries is no longer a genius. What's more, Curry's talent is not amazing. So a large number of people jumped out to deny him.

Fortunately, at this time, the Warriors came to a man who changed Curry's fate.

That man is the Warriors' trainer, Kirk Lyles. Lyles is a top-tier expert when it comes to injury prevention and maximising the potential of a player. He helped Curry change the way he was powered, "Curry used to like to use his ankles to control everything, but now he's using his hips, not his ankles."

After several years of polishing in the league and overcoming the impact of injuries, Curry's talent finally exploded, and it was out of control!

In the 2012-13 season, Curry made 272 three-pointers, surpassing Ray? Allen's 269 three-pointers set in the 2005-06 season became the league's all-time single-season three-point leader!

In the 2014-15 season, Curry hit a total of 286 three-pointers, setting a new NBA record for three-point shooting in a single season. And just this season, he led the team to the regular season championship, became the regular season MVP, and finally defeated LeBron James and his Cavaliers in the finals to win the championship! This is the Warriors' second NBA championship after 40 years.

It is precisely because he knows so much about Curry and knows that he has achieved such great achievements that Yi Feng is full of fighting spirit!

He knows that Curry is not someone like Michael Jordan who wins in one-on-one heads-up. His physical fitness makes it difficult for him to dominate in heads-up.

But after Curry gets the help of the current Warriors' lineup, his role will definitely not be less than Jordan's!

And in the face of such a strong enemy, how could Yi Feng not be enthusiastic!

Curry noticed Yi Feng's gaze, and the burning heat made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't care much.

Although Yi Feng can now beat him in the scoring list, Curry is not eager for scoring title now. His goals this season, besides defending his title, are something else. For example, the MVP of the regular season!

In each of the official updates on the MVP list, Curry has always been at the top of the list, and no one has ever been able to shake his status. And the current Warriors team is also getting better, and it seems that his MVP is a bit eyebrow-raising.

And as the Warriors' winning streak grew, so did his ambitions. For example, chase the Bulls' 72-10 record in the 1995-96 season!

Therefore, a team like the Lakers that is in the midst of a rebuilding can't attract much attention from him. Even if he heard that there was a great rookie among them, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Rookie, after all, is still a rookie. No matter how powerful you are, can you still go to heaven?

There are still a lot of people with a mentality like Curry in the Warriors. It has to be said that last season's success, and the fact that they have never lost so far this season, has left the Warriors a little blindsided.

Maybe that's not good news.

The game officially started with two starting center forwards Andrew Bogut and Roy Hibbert jumping the ball in the center circle. Bogut used his experience to secure the first wave of offensive possession for the Warriors.

Bogut was the No. 1 overall pick in 2005 and entered the NBA three years earlier than Hibbert, so he has more experience. And he is from Australia, and he is very good at using some small actions between foul and non-foul, how can Hibbert, who has degraded in his eyes this season, be his opponent.

Bogut turned the ball toward his own half, and the first to get the ball from the Warriors was Draymond Green.

Under normal circumstances, as a number four player, after getting the ball in your own half, you should give the ball to your defender and let him bring the ball to the front.

Because guards are much better at ball control than big forwards. The defender advances with the ball and is not easy to be tackled by the opponent.

But the Warriors are no ordinary team.

Draymond Green, as a power forward, has no intention of giving the ball to a guard at all. He just dribbled the ball himself.

Julius Randall was a little stunned.

Usually he does this himself, as a power forward to advance with the ball! I grabbed the rebound, and by the way, I also grabbed the work of the guard.

But he hadn't seen anyone like him. I finally had the pleasure of meeting it today.

And what makes him quite envious is that when he is advancing with the ball, the head coach will scold on the sidelines; And when Draymond Green was advancing with the ball, not only did his head coach not object, but even the whole team was used to it.

Is the gap between people really that big?

Randall asked the sky speechlessly......

But regardless of whether the opponent's No. 4 position holds the ball or not, Randle still has to defend. And his defensive object is the guy who scolded him in the air before the game, and he has no reason to let it go.

Draymond Green has been putting some of his attention on Yi Feng as he pushes forward with the ball. Although it was Randle who had been carefully defending in front of him, the typical black man with good physical fitness.

But Randle is only a second-year rookie and, in Draymond Green's opinion, isn't worth paying too much attention to. He wants to teach Yi Feng how to be a man in this game!

However, the tactics assigned by the head coach cannot be left unimplemented, especially the first wave of attacks in the opening game. So Draymond Green suppressed his thoughts, came to the top of the arc, and like a playmaker, he gestured and let his teammates start to run.

It's a tactic that the Warriors use a lot.

Interior players can handle the ball in the high post, whether it's Bogut or Draymond Green.

Then the other four players play off the ball on the baseline, or on both sides at the same time, and cut through the offensive endpoint to finally get the opportunity to open the space.

If the off-ball coordination is not successful, the offensive end point will be raised to the high post, around the point where the ball is held, used as a cover, and after receiving the hand-to-hand pass, directly projected or broken through.

Drummond is the Warriors' response to this strategy.

Because he still has three-point ability, he is a bit more dangerous than when Bogut was the playing point.

After Draymond Greenby made a gesture, Curry and Klay Thompson, who were in the bottom corners on either side, began to move to the line at the same time.

Harrison Barnes, meanwhile, moved to the baseline and covered the Splash Brothers at the back.

If both screens are successful, then the Splash Brothers, who have a historic shooting ability, will be directly increased to full threat to the Lakers' basket after receiving a pass from Draymond Green!

Fortunately, Scott attaches great importance to tonight's game, and has studied the Warriors' tactics in advance, and the Lakers players have also practiced how to defend this high-post strategy.

As a result, the Warriors' off-ball combination was unsuccessful.

And if one move fails, there is the next one. The Warriors' ever-changing tactics will always make opponents unguardable.

After Curry followed Barnes' cover and still couldn't get rid of Jordan Clarkson's defense, he was not in a hurry and ran away from the three-point line at the top of the arc with him.

And Draymond Green is in that position.

By the time Randle realizes that Draymond Green is going to cover for Curry, it's too late. Curry quickly received a hand-handed pass from Draymond Green, and then Draymond Green blocked Clarkson, who was chasing behind Curry.

As a result, a situation of changing guards between the four has formed.

Curry has always had a lot of experience with small and big situations.

Whether it is a breakthrough after shaking, or a step-back step after shaking, a quick shot, the grasp is very high.

In the face of Randle's defense, Curry, who suffered in height, should logically choose to break through.

Randall thinks so, too.

So after a few shakes in Curry, he chose to retreat and block Curry's breakthrough route.

But Curry dribbled back and retreated beyond the three-point line!

Randle realized that something was wrong, but it was at this time that Curry threw the ball with a "whoosh"!

Nima, it's so fast that you can't react! (To be continued.) )
