083. All or Nothing Steal!
Under the effect of the mad dog buff, a violent and ferocious force was instantly injected into Wang Cheng's body, coupled with the anger in his heart at this moment, Wang Cheng only felt an unprecedented power surging in his body.
If you don't vent it, it will be very unpleasant!
Wang Cheng's eyes were slightly red, and he rushed towards Curry with a terrifying momentum.
Curry immediately noticed the anomaly in Wangcheng and lowered his center of gravity to protect the ball.
In fact, just now Wang Cheng was able to take the ball directly from his hands, in addition to Wang Cheng's terrible defensive skills, a large part of the reason was because of Curry's own light enemy.
Otherwise, even with a skill like [Death Coil], it will be difficult to grab his ball.
Now Curry is fully focused on the offense, and he doesn't dare to take Wang Cheng lightly, especially Wang Cheng, who is now in an "abnormal" state.
Against menacing defenders, Curry struggled to keep the ball away from the Kings with his shoulders. And Wang Cheng is like a hungry wolf that has been hungry for days, constantly impacting Curry's ball protection.
It stands to reason that the attacker is more dominant than the defender in the round. But now, the offense and defense seem to have reversed.
As a defender, Wang Cheng kept launching "attacks" and tried to dig the ball from all angles. As an attacker, Curry was tired of guarding against Wang Cheng's steal in the "biting" physical confrontation.
"As you can see, the Wangcheng defense is very aggressive! Wangcheng, play with him! Director Zhang shouted.
But Curry is not a vegetarian either, after all, he is also the one who has played the finals all the way to the top, and he has never seen any winds and waves.
Wang Cheng's extremely aggressive defense is indeed what he is more afraid of.
Curry has seen this kind of defense with Bryant, Tony Allen, and Beverley, and he already has his own way of dealing with it, and his teammates know how to help him deal with it.
Now, for example, Durant is actively coming over to help him cover.
Curry lifted his left hand to protect the ball and went around the screen.
However, Wang Cheng seemed to have known the Warriors' tactics for a long time, and when he saw Durant appear, he stretched out his left foot in advance and stuck half of his body.
At the moment when Curry passed, Wang Cheng kicked the ground with all his might, directly erasing Durant's block and dismantling, and followed Curry to death.
Curry didn't find space to shoot, and he was worried about being picked up by Wang Cheng, so he had no choice but to pass the ball.
He started running like crazy after the ball, but he soon found that no matter how fast he ran and how good his teammates' coverage was, Wang Cheng clung to him like a piece of kraft candy.
Curry didn't even get a chance to catch the ball again!
"Wangcheng's off-ball defense completely locked up all of Curry's ability to catch the ball, and this defense has the shadow of Kobe Bryant." Speaking of Kobe, there was an immediate sense of happiness in Weiping Bryant's tone.
Although Wang Cheng completely stared at Curry, Cosmic Warriors are Cosmic Warriors after all, and they have countless ways to score.
The offense ended with a catch-and-shoot from Thompson as the Warriors continued to take the lead.
Unable to stop the Warriors' offense, Wang Cheng was not discouraged, and just quietly walked towards the Warriors' halfcourt.
Curry also returned to his own half, and after he was in position, he watched with great interest the Chinese rookie who had made him a little embarrassed.
After the round of grappling just now, both of them were a little tired, and at this time they were both bent over, holding their knees with their hands, quietly recovering their strength.
"Good defense."
Curry is still half-clenched his braces, but this time his praise is no longer the previous light, "senior care" style of praise, but in a flat tone, conveying the recognition of Wang Cheng.
It is a kind of recognition that treats Wangcheng as a competitor!
"Thank you..."Wang Cheng also sincerely thanked him this time.
For Curry, Wang Cheng still admires it. With his physical fitness, he can make a name for himself in the NBA, and even change the trend of the NBA, this kind of person must not only have unborn talents (shooting talent, reflexes, etc.), but must also pay a lot more sweat than others to do it.
But, appreciation is appreciation, the gift that Green gave him just now is not so easy to pass.
Wang Cheng set his eyes on Green in the forbidden area, and his head kept thinking about how to return a big gift.
At the same time, this round, the Warriors changed their defensive strategy again.
They chose to give him a lot of space to shoot, and Klay, who was responsible for defending him, stood at the free-throw line, ready to help defend others.
No way, in the previous preseason games, in addition to shooting a stunner in the previous preseason games, the three-point performance of the Clippers at other times can only be described as "miserable".
But even so, Brother Qiu still has a strong sense of self-confidence, and he did not hesitate to choose to shoot in the face of vacancy.
He received the ball near his left waist, then bent his knee and raised the ball to his left forehead.
"Wow, what a crooked machine gun!" Director Zhang exclaimed.
This is the first time he has watched his brother play live, and such a weird shooting posture really scared him.
Don't look at the ugly posture, Brother Qiu's shooting speed is very fast, and the arc of the ball is also very high.
Everyone watched as the basketball flew to the basket, the trajectory was straight, and then... Three don't stick...
"Beep~"
"Out of bounds, Warriors possession." The referee announced.
Brother Qiu raised his hand awkwardly, indicating that the ball was his pot.
Wang Cheng didn't care, and immediately put himself on defense, in his previous life, he often saw the speechless shooting performance of the ball brother when he watched the Lakers' games.
Warriors attack.
Curry was entangled by the Kings, so he could only hand the ball to Green early and use himself as a pitcher for off-ball running.
Wang Cheng followed Curry closely as he pondered what to do next.
He has been thinking about how to give Green a little color since he attacked just now, but because he didn't have the offensive means to hold the ball, he really didn't have the opportunity to impact the penalty area guarded by Green.
What's next?
You can try to shoot threes when you get an opportunity, but you can't hit Green directly.
After thinking about it, Wang Cheng only thought of one move, and that was to make a fuss on the defensive end.
Since Green has been standing outside the three-point line, once the Kings form a steal, Green automatically becomes the last barrier to stop the fast break.
If you challenge Green in a fast break, the success rate will definitely be much greater than in positional battles.
Of course, Wang Cheng's plan is actually very difficult.
To steal the ball from the Warriors, it's a huge challenge to challenge Green at the DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year) level in the fast break.
Wang Cheng is not afraid of challenges, on the contrary, at this moment, under the buff bonus, his adrenaline is soaring, and he is looking for opportunities to steal all the time.
He knows very well that Curry is also a big killer when running without the ball, and if he rashly lets go of Curry to try to help defend the steal, there is a high chance that he will be punished immediately from the MVP.
Therefore, Wang Cheng could only wait quietly for the opportunity.
Curry was also a little irritable at this time, and the rookie in front of him prevented him from having a chance to catch the ball at all.
As the offensive core of the Warriors, once he is strangled to death, many of the team's established tactics will not be able to play. Although in the end, it is possible to score points by relying on individual ability, but being forced to that extent by a team like the Lakers that has been competing for the top spot for many years is unacceptable to the Warriors.
Curry also wants to get rid of the Kings' defense and make the team's offense smooth.
So he changed his strategy, no longer forcing open shooting opportunities directly through running, but after receiving the ball outside the three-point line, he then threw off Wang Cheng through blocking tactics.
At this moment, the two ran together to Green outside the three-point line.
Wang Cheng knew that Green was about to pass the ball to Curry through his hand. If you want to steal, your best chance is when they hand the ball!
"Bang! Boom! Boom! "Green dribbled the ball and waited for Curry to arrive.
Wang Cheng sprinted with all his might, and soon came to the position of taking the ** line to Curry.
He's so focused, so focused that it's like he's in a different state, and everything on the pitch is slowing down at the moment.
Curry is worthy of Curry, and he quickly discovered that forcing the ball to receive the ball was likely to be stealed by Wang Cheng.
So when everyone thought he was going to run behind Green, Curry kicked the ground with his right foot, forced the brakes, and made a reverse run, and Green, who had been fighting side by side with him for many years, immediately understood, changed the passing line, raised the arc and passed the ball to the right 45° angle.
"woo~" many fans exclaimed.
"Beautiful, Curry's running is amazing!" Director Zhang also immediately expressed his admiration for Curry.
Just when everyone thought that Wang Cheng was going to be thrown away, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the basketball in the air with a reaction speed that ordinary people dare not imagine.
I saw him pounce hard, like a cheetah pounced on its prey.
“woo!!!”
The exclamations at the scene sounded again, much louder than just now!
