Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Lifelong Enemy
To say that in the 09 session, who is the biggest opponent in Terrick's heart? That has to be Stephen. Curry and his Golden State Warriors.
Curry's performance in his rookie season was not so shocking, but he made steady progress, played 80 games, averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, and finally ranked second in the best rookie vote.
Truth be told, Tyrek himself thinks Curry has been good enough in his rookie season. Everyone knows what happened next, Curry suffered from his glass ankle after that, and finally signed a four-year, 44 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.
After that, Curry overcame injuries and gradually grew into a top superstar in the league, leading a new pattern in the league. With the operation of the management and the vision of the draft, it has gradually created a historical-level strong team. It was from this "child labor" contract that the era of the Warrior Dynasty began.
The success rate of the 09 class is extremely high, and from the perspective of Tyreco's 7-year lead, there is no doubt that Curry has the highest achievement. At the same time, the current Golden State Warriors are similar to the Sacramento Kings, with an excellent young core to be grown, and the previous team records are not satisfactory.
Now that Curry and the Golden State Warriors can succeed in the end, Tyrek, who has a higher starting point than Curry, is confident that he and the Sacramento Kings can too. Tyrek also has Curry and the Golden State Warriors in his mind as long-term opponents in his career.
The Sacramento Kings welcomed the Golden State Warriors at home today, the first meeting between the two teams this season, and the first time Tyrek faced Stephen Stephen on the court. Curry.
The Warriors currently have a 9-18 record, and the current Warriors are still not a strong team, after all, it is only December 2010, and the star of the Warriors is still Monta. Ellis.
The Golden State Warriors are partnered by Curry and Ellis in the backcourt, and Dorrell is the backcourt. White was the starting No. 3, and David Wright. Lee & Andris. Biedrins partners on the inside.
At the beginning of the game, All-Star interior David Brown, who played for the New York Knicks last season, was the best player in the game. Lee took the lead in attacking, relying on his soft mid-range touch to frequently play the Kings' starting power forward Jason. Thompson scored on the head.
The Kings responded quickly, using Cousins' response as Cosby, who started as a small forward, hit back-to-back three-pointers from the outside. In this way, in the first quarter of the game, the two teams quickly entered the rhythm of attack, and if you hit me, I will pay you back.
By the end of the first quarter, both teams had played high scores, with both teams scoring more than 40 points, setting a new league first-quarter scoring record this season, with the Sacramento Kings trailing by two points at 40-42.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the cores of the two teams began to exert their strength, and Tyrek and Curry and Ellis entered a scoring battle.
Neither Curry nor Ellis are known for their defense, and the Warriors' strongest defender is the blue-collar center Biedrins, who has degraded a lot, and Tyreek's breakthrough is naturally unstoppable. Whether it's a quick-forward single opponent on a counterattack, or a continuous change of direction to shake off a defense in positional battles, Teric is always on hand.
After Terek opened, he also drove Cousins on the inside, and Bidrins couldn't prevent Cousins at all. But since the Warriors can't do anything about the Kings on the defensive end, they use offense to solve the problem.
Curry and Ellis took turns to exert force, Ellis burst out and shot like no one, Curry is now very sharp in three points, and at the same time, he can tear the defense with dexterous footwork.
After the two teams switched to the rotation, the two teams still played a wide game, and at halftime, the Sacramento Kings still trailed the Golden State Warriors by two points at 72-74.
After the start of the second half, the scoring efficiency of the two teams has decreased to a certain extent, maybe it is a little cold, maybe it is the physical exertion, the two teams are still attacking, but the iron is becoming more and more frequent, and the scene is not so good-looking.
After three quarters, the two teams were tied at 95-95.
In the decisive moment of the final quarter, the Kings stabilized the rhythm, and the team played steadily in the fourth quarter, while the Golden State Warriors, Curry maintained a wonderful performance throughout the game, but at the last moment, Ellis made several irrational singles to completely bury the game.
In the end, the Sacramento Kings defeated the visiting Golden State Warriors 127-122 at home, Tyrek played 41 minutes in the game, 16 of 29 shots, a season high, and a career-high 40 points, in addition to 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Cousins also played a style inside, played 39 minutes in the game, 11 of 18 shots, and scored a big double-double of 28 points and 20 boards.
On the Golden State Warriors' side, Curry, Ellis, David. Lee scored 20 points in 3 people, Curry played the most wonderful scoring performance of the season so far, 17 of 25 shots in the game, 7 of 10 three-point shots, and also scored a career-high 44 points, Ellis played the highest time in the game, played 43 minutes in the game, although he scored 33 points, but only 11 of 29 shots, and at the same time, the blind shot at the last minute is not a qualified leader.
After the game, Tyrek greeted Curry on the court, and the media also waited for the two potential stars of the '09 class who both scored a new career high in this game. Against Curry, Tyrek didn't act like a fan, after all, Curry is still only a sophomore today. Although this is the first time Terrick has played against Curry, he has already deeply felt Curry's strength and potential.
"Stephen, what a good fight! A high score of 44 points! ”
"You're playing well, too, Tyrek! We lost today, but next time we will win! ”
"Stephen, do you believe you can stand at the top of this alliance?" Tyrek knew what Curry would accomplish in the future, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Of course, we can play in the NBA, who doesn't have a little confidence!" Curry replied with a white towel over his head and a smile.
"Yes, I've always believed that I could make the league tremble for me, but I've got to remind you of something......" Tyrek mysteriously put his arm around Curry and whispered in his ear, "Stephen, watch out for injuries, watch out for your ankles......"
After saying that, Tyrek glanced at Curry meaningfully, Curry listened to Tyrek say this, his expression was a little strange, but the two still hugged amicably, Curry said to Tyrek: "I think you have a kind of unpredictable prophetic meaning, but injuries are indeed the enemy of our players, I will naturally pay attention, no matter what, I think you are a good person!" ”
"Hehehe, of course!" Tyrek and Curry parted with a smile and left the court to return to the locker room, and Tyrick thought to himself: Am I revealing a chance? Haha, I don't know if Curry will be affected by his words and avoid injury??
