Chapter 50: Curry's Old Story
According to American law, people under the age of 21 are not allowed to buy alcohol in bars or stores, although Curry is 22 years old, but he obviously does not look like a 22-year-old adult, George can't believe that this guy's future can be compared to Jordan and Kobe.
However, if you think about it, you can't look like a person, and George doesn't look like someone who will become a legend, but now that he has a live broadcast system, his future achievements in the NBA will not be lower than anyone else's.
Curry, who is from Ohio, quickly noticed that there was a person on the other side who had been staring at him, and Curry thought it was strange because he didn't know George at all, and although George had amazing performances in the past few games, he was not influential enough for all the players in the league to know.
Curry is a guy who doesn't watch the top 10 games.
"This man is so strange." Curry whispered that no opponent had ever looked at him with such eyes, and he even wondered if George was GAY......
In fact, there are really a lot of GAY in the NBA, but they don't dare to announce it.
At this time, Jeremy Lin of the Warriors heard it and walked over to Curry and said, "His name is Mike George, he is my friend, he should have heard me mention you." ”
"Oh, is that so?" Hearing Jeremy Lin's words, Curry didn't care anymore.
After Jeremy Lin cleared George, he took the initiative to walk through the half court and greet George: "Hey, Joe, long time no see, you're adapting to the NBA too quickly!" You don't have a lot of playing time, but you've got a couple of great goals, you're really good! ”
Jeremy Lin's words are definitely not compliments, but admiration from the bottom of my heart, both of them have the same starting point, they are both Chinese-Americans, both were drafted, both entered the NBA through the summer league, and they both played the same bench as substitutes.
But Jeremy Lin couldn't do anything with just a few minutes on the court, but George could prove his strength.
George knew about Jeremy Lin's future, shook Lin's hand, and encouraged: "Man, you're going to prove yourself in the NBA, be patient, you definitely can." ”
"Thank you." Jeremy Lin smiled and thanked him, glanced back at Curry, who was practicing with his back to them, and asked, "You seem to have been staring at our team's Stephen just now, do you know him?" ”
George remembered his recklessness and replied, "Well, I want to know him." ”
At this time, his teammate Turiaf heard the conversation between the two, walked over, put his hand on George's shoulder, and said, "Do you want to meet Stephen?" Then I can help you with that, I was teammates with him last season. However, I will have to introduce you to you after the game. By the way, why are you interested in him? ”
"This ......," George didn't know what to say for a moment.
Jeremy Lin, who was on the side, was kind enough to relieve George again: "It's me who often mentions Stephen to Joe on the phone. ”
George and Jeremy Lin did talk on the phone occasionally, but they didn't talk about Curry, and Jeremy Lin was smart enough to sense George's "special feelings" for Curry.
Turiaf glanced at Jeremy Lin, who was wearing a warrior's long-sleeved training uniform, and said angrily: "Which guy are you, go aside." ”
Jeremy Lin was not big enough to withdraw from the "turf" belonging to the Knicks, and George also gave him an apologetic look, but George knew that although Turiaf was fierce, he was a very good teammate, and he did not discriminate or bully George.
After Jeremy Lin left, Turyaf did not continue to ask why, but introduced Curry to George: "Stephen Curry, that guy is really good, don't be deceived by his weak appearance, he is very strong on the inside." When I was still with the Warriors in April, we were playing against the Trail Blazers, a playoff powerhouse, and we had only six healthy players in that game. ”
"Six? Oh my God, how do you fight that? Doesn't the league stipulate a minimum of 8 players? George hadn't watched the game that Turyaf was talking about, because he was in college at the time, and he couldn't have known every game of the regular season.
However, the people in the barrage seem to be very clear about Curry.
[I know which game this 'pigtail' is talking about!] Kuri day is hanging! Last season, it was his rookie season, and it was so rebellious! 】
[I really can't stand you 'Kufu'! Since Stephen Curry is so great, then you should tell the anchor that he has won a few FMVPs in his career! 】
George glanced at the barrage, ignored it, and continued to listen to Turiaf's story, after all, what he said was more true and credible.
Turiaf said: "That's right, so our coach put me and Morrow in the lineup, hell, you must know that Moreau and I were injured at the time!" ”
From Turiaf's tone, George could feel his complaint at the time, so he comforted: "The coach can't help it, but he knows that you are injured, even if you are put in the lineup, he will not let you play, there are six of them, it's a big deal to play the whole game." ”
Turiaf snorted and said: "I thought so at the time, but who knew that not long after the game started, the center was injured, which means that there are only five healthy people left in the team, and these five people must play the whole game, but one of them committed six fouls." ”
George couldn't help but feel that what Turyaf was telling was like a play, something he had never heard of.
"According to the rules, if there are no players who can play, the players who have committed six fouls can continue to play." George said.
Turyaf shook his head: "Our coach explained to the referee for a long time, saying that Moreau and I were injured, but the referee just ignored it and wanted us to play, and then the two of us went on the court one by one, and neither of us could survive 15 seconds, and the referee let the players with six fouls reappear." ”
"It's a really sad story." George can imagine Turiaf's frustration when he comes on the pitch with an injury.
"No, it's a story that allows us to witness miracles." Turiaf's face suddenly turned sad to joy, "It was in this situation that Stephen Curry and the five of them actually defeated the Trail Blazers!" Curry alone won a quasi-triple-double of 40+! ”
"What? Did you win? "George can't believe that the Warriors are a third-rate team, even if they have a full lineup, they have no chance of winning against a playoff team, let alone when there are only five people in the whole court who can play!
Hearing Turyaf's story, George began to believe what the barrage said, maybe Curry, this guy, is really unusual......
"Looks like I can't fight him today......"
George's "conflict-making plan" is still being implemented, and this one is also planned to continue to fight someone on the opponent, just like the last game with Beasley, and since Curry is so cute and respected by the audience, George still ruled him out.
The game started quickly, with the Warriors starting Montaellis, Curry, White, Biedlings and David Lee, and on the Knicks' side, George continued to serve off the bench.
George has been keeping an eye on Curry's performance on the bench, and Curry did take a lot of shots after the game started, more than David Lee and Montaellis, however, he didn't make a single three-point shot.
The barrage said that Curry was the greatest three-point shooter in history, which George didn't see.
[Curry didn't make many three-point shots in the first three seasons, and it only began to increase from the 12-13 season, and in the 15-16 season, he averaged 11.2 three-point shots per game!] Hit 402 three-pointers in a single season! 】
“402?” George couldn't believe the number, and he remembered that the current record was 269 three-pointers held by SuperSonics Ray Allen, which was 133 three-pointers at once......
Soon, George was sent on the court, Curry was not off the court, and he and Curry would be directly opposed.
"The current Curry has not evolved into 'Ku Ritian', even if I defeat him, I guess the audience will not give a reward."
George was happy to know Curry's future accomplishments in advance, but the most important thing for him right now was to earn more gold to redeem for stars.
"I wonder who's going to fight with whom today?" George looked at these teammates and opponents with curiosity.
