Chapter 131: A Great Surprise!

If he loses the bet, then he will face the same embarrassment as Curry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Curry responded perfectly with an answer-ball, and his previous embarrassment will be forgotten.

People will inevitably fail, but it is valuable to be able to bounce back after failure.

Although Curry was bukkake once by Yi Feng using his favorite offensive method, if he can return it in the same way, then the previous defensive loss will not hurt him much.

Maybe Yi Feng's bold fight this time and his success really had an element of luck, but it was more due to his super computing ability and meticulous observation ability.

If he hadn't realized that Curry was acting willfully outside the Warriors' tactical system by letting Klay Thompson as cover, then he wouldn't have thought of digging such a big hole and making Curry jump down.

After observing Curry's abnormality, Yi Feng also used his powerful computing power to simulate the offensive methods that Curry could choose one by one in a short period of time. And based on Curry's current mental state, it is expected that he is most likely to choose a step-back three-pointer after continuous shaking.

Even if there is a so-called luck, it is based on great strength. Perhaps Lady Luck prefers strong people with real strength.

After Curry was hit such a big blow, Steve Kerr took the initiative to request a timeout.

The purpose of his timeout was not to adjust the tactics. At present, although the Lakers have caught up with the point difference, the offense is the Warriors' forte, and they have never been afraid of the opponent's scoring ability.

The purpose of his pause was to appease his beloved disciple, or his number one horseman.

Stephen Curry was born in 1988 and is now in his twenties. But he was born with a baby face and looked much younger than his actual age, if it weren't for the fact that he was much taller than ordinary people, let him wear a red scarf and put him in a group of elementary school students, you would definitely not have any abrupt feeling.

If you think that his mental endurance is the same as his baby face, he can't reach the stage of real age, then you are very wrong.

As an NBA player, you have to think about how to play well, and at the same time, you have to think about how to face the public and how to face the media. Because since stepping into the highly commercial league of the NBA, they have become public figures.

And as a public figure, the psychological tolerance is naturally strong. The so-called public figure is a person who has an important influence within a certain range, is widely known and concerned by the people, and is closely related to the interests of the public.

Once something is tied to interests, then it becomes complicated. As the saying goes, it's hard to hold a bowl of water flat. The involvement of interests is even more so. Some people are naturally satisfied; If someone is not profitable, they will be dissatisfied and then vent to the outside world. As a public figure, many times it has become the target of the topic to vent dissatisfaction.

If you don't have a strong mental capacity, how can you be a good public figure?

And Curry is not an ordinary NBA player, with his rapid rise in recent years, he has increasingly become a major figure in the NBA, receiving more and more attention, and the pressure is naturally getting heavier and heavier.

In that case, why did Cole ask for a timeout to appease him?

It was a deliberate move by Cole.

For example, if the emperor of a country, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and his words and deeds are unrestrained. However, one day, there was a civilian who did not give him face, made him unable to get off the stage, and even did something that hurt his dignity. Despite his fame, his status was nothing compared to that of the emperor.

And no matter what the emperor will do with this bold and disrespectful civilian at this time, what is the emperor's psychological state at this time? What would he think? Will it be angry? Or is it trance?

In Kerr's opinion, Curry's current psychological state, like this emperor, worries him.

Although this analogy is a bit exaggerated, Curry and Yi Feng, the status of the two in the league is absolutely different. Although Yi Feng came out of nowhere, and a series of performances almost blinded people's eyes, in fact, his status in the league did not improve much.

At least for now, he is not qualified to be compared to Curry, who has won a championship and won a regular season MVP.

Curry, whose status is so much higher than Yi Feng, was humiliated by him in front of him inside and out! No matter how strong Curry's psychological endurance is, he will be a little confused at this time, right?

So Cole called this timeout.

During the pause, he didn't mention anything tactically related to his disciples at all, and he didn't even speak to anyone other than Curry.

In 100 seconds, he caught Curry and poured a lot of chicken soup for the soul. This chicken soup is a healing product, whether it is when you are frustrated or when you are proud, it can make you normal and full of fighting spirit.

As a great NBA coach, it's impossible for Kerr not to master this skill.

At this time, the first quarter was not half over, and although Kerr was worried about Curry's state, it was not good for him to sit on the court. Because in this way, he is even more afraid that Curry will not be able to think about it.

After the timeout, the game resumed.

During the timeout, the highlight shot of Curry's quick dunk after the easy blood hat was replayed several times. The fans in the Oracle Arena already hated Yi Feng for a long time, and for Curry, they naturally had great sympathy. And I hope that in the next time, I will find myself and give Yi Feng a fierce counterattack with the greatest strength!

Of course, the wishes are good, but the reality always seems a little cruel.

After returning from a timeout, Curry became a little hesitant on the offensive end.

On the offensive end, there is no longer too much ball-handling, but more movement without the ball.

And when his teammates created space for him to shoot, he didn't shoot, looked at the basket and wanted to shoot but didn't, and finally Clarkson defended it, and the opportunity was wasted.

Although Cole called a timeout, and a long 100-second timeout to calm him down, the chicken soup didn't seem to work.

Curry, who has lost his vitality on the offensive end, is even more invisible on the defensive end. Originally, he relied more on positivity and attitude in defense, but now his mentality is unstable, which makes him completely disappear on the defensive end.

Neither offense nor defense worked, but Kerr just didn't replace him. Maybe he's worried that things will get worse after replacing Curry.

But that's exactly what gave the Lakers a chance.

Curry was invisible on the court, and the Warriors' offense was left alone with Klay Thompson. And Thompson not only has to expend a lot of energy on the offensive end, but also has to defend the wind in the back.

As the Lakers' number one offensive arrow tonight, Yi Feng made quite a lot of shots. This also posed a serious test to Thompson's physical strength.

When there was more than a minute left in the first quarter, and both sides switched to the bench, the score of the two teams was tied at 28:28!

In the past period of the first quarter, the two sides have been inseparable!

Because Thompson's offensive style is mostly catching and shooting after running without the ball, defenders will feel more physically exhausted when defending him. Yi Feng is responsible for offense, and he can't do a higher-intensity defense. So most of the time, he was stopped by a simple cover from the Warriors.

This kind of defense is typically not working.

This also made Maddie, who was sitting in the commentary seat, a little dissatisfied. In the early part of his career, when he was with the Raptors, he started by defense. Now seeing that Yi Feng is not defending well in such an important game, he is a little annoyed. Especially when he said in front of the whole country that he wanted to support the Lakers to win, and if there was no defense, how could he win?

However, his family knows his own affairs, and Yi Feng does not work hard to defend, so he naturally wants to contribute more firepower on the offensive end. Now the "Splash Brothers" of the Warriors, the two guns were "scrapped" by him, and when it comes to fighting, he doesn't feel so hard. This shows that winning is possible!

Therefore, he cherishes his physical strength even more and wants to use it in key places. After all, good steel is used on the edge of a knife.

Compared with Yi Feng, Thompson, an honest child, is already a little tired and out of breath.

Not only does he have to get shots on the offensive end through frequent off-ball runs; Going back to the defensive end, you have to watch Yi Feng's offense. And it is often that he takes precautions seriously, but it doesn't have much effect, although Yi Feng's hit rate is slightly lower than usual, but overall it is still very high.

Facing his defense, Yi Feng had already scored a super high score of 16 points in the first quarter! He scored nine points on 3-of-4 three-pointers, 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, and four points on two layups.

In the first quarter, Yi Feng made 9 shots and hit 5 of them, with a shooting rate of 56%! And he didn't try to shoot from mid-range, either to shoot three-pointers, or to score hard under the basket, maybe he didn't like the fluttering two points in the middle range today, but wanted to score 3 points or even higher in the offense!

So out of 9 shots, there are 4 three-point shots, almost half of them! And the purpose of killing under the basket is obviously for 2+1. However, 2+1 was not so easy to come by, and he hit the basket many times, but only got 2+1 once.

Yi Fengyi was bold and scored these 16 points, which also allowed the Lakers to follow in the footsteps of the Warriors and continue to retain the opportunity to win.

The home team, the Warriors' bench lineup, led by Andre Iguodala and accompanied by Festus Azeli, Sean Livingston, Maris Speights, Leandro Barbossa and others, reached the underdog level almost at a starting level.

The coming Lakers' bench lineup consists of Marcelo Hurtas, Nick Young, Louis Williams, Larry Nance Jr. and Brand Buss.

The bench lineup sent by Scott has little defensive ability, especially the backcourt combination of Huertas and Williams, no matter who goes to defend Livingston, he can only use his height to eat his life.

However, Scott's purpose in replacing them was to attack.

In the more than three minutes from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter, the bench lineups of the two teams also fought against each other.

The Warriors' offense, after the main force went down, was not as smooth and became a little sluggish. Livingston is a legendary, good defender with a wide vision, but against Hurtas, his task is clearly more focused on scoring.

Barbossa, who won the Sixth Man of the Year award earlier than Williams (2006-07), is not a playmaker.

Curry once said of Barbossa, "Leandro is fast, he's explosive, he's creative under the basket, he's able to finish games with both hands, he's cheating, he's dealing with physical contact, he's great." ”

Curry praised Barbossa's offensive prowess but avoided talking about his playmaking skills. Apparently knowing that his organizational skills are not high.

Iguodala is a top-tier wing defender, but he also has pretty good offensive and playmaking skills.

Sean Battier once said of him, "The Warriors with Andre Iguodala have become more well-rounded because he looks like the West Coast version of LeBron." ”

At the time, Battier was playing for the Miami Heat, and he was still a teammate of LeBron James. He has the most direct understanding of James's versatility - scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, etc. He thinks Iguodala is like James, which means that he agrees with Iguodala's all-round attributes.

But he is a striker after all, and with a playmaker like Livingston on the pitch, he doesn't have many opportunities to control the ball.

In addition to these three outside players, the Warriors also have Speights and Azeli two interior players. They obviously can't play the role of an organizational axis like Draymond Green.

Livingston, who controls the ball, is putting more energy into his individual attack. Therefore, the Warriors' overall offense has naturally become sluggish.

Without smooth cooperation, the Warriors who play alone are exactly what the Lakers want to see the most. Because they are like that, when it comes to playing alone, the Warriors are obviously not as experienced as the Lakers. Williams' various trick jumpers, as well as his foul-making skills, should not be underestimated; Nick Young has the title of "singles king", and there is no one else in singles.

And the Lakers relied on this rich experience to not suffer too much.

Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of ability, they don't let the Warriors' strengths really play out.

With 8:27 left in the second quarter, the main lineups of both teams returned to the court, and the score of the two teams was 45:48, with the visitors in front and the home team behind.

In other words, the Warriors' bench five, which is fully capable of starting the weak team, is only three points ahead of them when the strength completely overwhelms the Lakers' bench lineup.

This is a big surprise for the Lakers! (To be continued.) )
