Chapter 367: The duel of the number one position
"Another crucial three! As soon as he came back from the game, Curry Jr. shot a long-range three-pointer against Zhang Yi's defense! That's what a superstar is capable of! ”
The live commentary seats at Staples Arena were boiling. After all, most of these people are still fans of Curry Jr., and he is still the top name in the league anyway.
And the ball is too hard! These ordinary people have no idea how much self-confidence it takes to shoot two steps from the three-point line.
In the fourth quarter, the Warriors didn't let Curry Jr. rest, and it was clear that they intended to end the fight quickly. It was the Lakers who let both Robert and Vali rest.
It's just that it seems that Zhang Yi is leading the team with a single core, but in fact, his other teammates are also good. And because they won Vali, they are now playing in a big four small lineup, the same as their opponents now.
was suddenly shot by Yan, Zhang Yi also smiled helplessly. He really didn't want to admit that Curry Jr.'s three-point level was extraordinary, but the opponent was really a surprise.
Such a hardcore three-point shooter may not be found in the whole league, and no matter how critical the game is, he is so decisive and ruthless!
The score became a five-point shot again, and the Lakers tried their best to bite the score, but Curry Jr. had to keep shooting like this, and the gods couldn't win when they came.
Without Robert, a three-point player, except for the Bruins brothers, the rest of the Lakers' players actually have three-point skills, but at such a critical time, only players with big hearts can not be soft.
The Warriors' defense is still leaky, regardless of whether the Lakers have to find Zhang Yi to play in this position. Their team, which can win in the Finals with defense, is at its best in the regular season, and the effect can be imagined.
It feels difficult for Oscar to pass the ball, especially since Curry Jr. has now let go of Zhang Yi and started to mark him. They are about the same age, and Oscar has not played against Curry Jr. before, but they have never been a level player.
Whether it's his rookie season or the non-stop transfers, Oscar, the league's famous prodigal son, has never played on a real powerhouse, let alone a team that can compete with the Warriors.
So although he has faced off countless times, this is also the first time he has met Curry Jr., who is going all out. At this time, Oscar's mentality may be more nervous than Zhang Yi.
The Lakers are on a lot of momentum right now, and they could even set a record, so no matter what, the brains of this team can't simply lose to their opponents.
When Oscar is ready to shake Curry Jr. with the ball in his hands and look for an assist or an opportunity to open the scoring for the team. I saw him dribble quickly to adjust the rhythm.
Oscar, who is 2.02 meters tall, is definitely a tall guard, although he is a little worse than Curry Jr., but he definitely has an advantage in the league.
So when he first debuted, Oscar also claimed to be out of place to hit anyone. Scoring 28 points in a single season in the No. 1 position is also his pinnacle masterpiece.
Now that he has come to the Lakers, the offensive maniac Oscar has reined in and has become more fond of assists, which is definitely unthinkable to those viewers, because after all, he was also known as a locker room cancer back then.
A point guard who is unwilling to cooperate with his teammates is prone to cause conflicts in the team, and Oscar is still the kind of guy who can't admit defeat.
This is also why this year's offseason ended up in a situation that no one wants, coming to the Lakers is definitely a surprise, after all, his ability is clearly worthy of the top salary, and now with a mid-level contract, the Los Angeles people are really earning.
Curry Jr. didn't post this ball, because he knew that Oscar's projection ability could score a few points, and now this madman would not choose to shoot directly.
Sure enough, as expected, Oscar kept trying to shake Curry's center of gravity with feints, but a section of operation was as fierce as a tiger, but the opponent didn't shake it.
In the end, there was no way, the Lakers center could only come up to block and dismantle, and finally Oscar was disgraced and dribbled the ball into the basket. Regardless of the final choice, he has already lost by one percent, because if the two switch positions, Curry Jr. will definitely not need the cover of the center.
That's the difference between a good defender and a top defender. No matter how hard Oscar tries, the gap between him and Curry Jr. will not be so easy to make up.
Zhang Yi is also moving to the basket, he means to play a basket with Oscar. Because there is no Curry Jr. to chase and defend, it is just the opportunity to play with momentum.
I saw Oscar shake the opponent's center McCann, and then at the moment of making a layup, his wrist flicked and was sent to Zhang Yi on the other side, and then the successor of Curry Jr. suddenly took off and dunked with a bang!
After this ball, the whole Lakers team also rushed over excitedly to fist bump with Zhang Yi to celebrate. Including the audience, they were also very excited.
It's just that for the Warriors, their morale hasn't been hit at all. Because this kind of basket coordination is easy to break, the Lakers didn't really turn the tide.
Especially Curry Jr.'s eyes on Zhang Yi's running, catching the ball and then dunking violently, his teammates know that their core will never let go of this opportunity.
Although Curry Jr. is not keen on dunks, he is different from his father, he won the existence of dunk kings back then. Not to mention the explosive physical fitness, until he was on the verge of retirement, he averaged 3 deductions per game!
In this game, he didn't have a lot of frame attack, but he was actually conserving his physical strength. Regardless of Zhang Yi or Thomas and others, Curry Jr.'s real strength was after the victory was confirmed.
It's still a critical moment in the game, and the real threat when he's on the ball is the three-pointer. Coupled with a super long three-point before, Oscar did not dare to slack off at all, and pounced on the opponent as soon as he crossed the center circle line.
At this time, Zhang Yi is also sticking to another master on the outside of the Warriors, and the highlight of their defense now is to limit the opponent's three points first, because one three points is too demoralizing.
"Don't struggle, you can't win this!" In the past, Curry Jr. would not say this kind of thing to Oscar, because there is no need, the record of these two people is all won by Curry Jr.'s side.
If there is such a thing as a natural enemy on the NBA court, Oscar's natural enemy is definitely Curry Jr. played smoothly in the No. 1 position, and the only wall that he couldn't step through was him.
Now that he can finally get the face up, Oscar is not only angry, but his heart is full of fighting spirit! "We've won a lot of games and we're going to keep winning!"
Hearing this, Curry Jr. was stunned, because he obviously felt that the Oscar in front of him seemed to have changed a little. He would never have been able to say such powerful words before.
"Yes, attack it, I'll defend you!"
