Chapter 18: Against Curry
On the court, Chen Shu advanced methodically and faced Curry. Curry doesn't know the details of the Asian players on the other side, but looking at the size of the same as him, Curry is confident that he can blow up Chen Shu on both offensive and defensive ends.
You must know that Curry had a good hand in this game, shooting 6 of 9 in the first three quarters, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 15 points and 8 assists, and the most critical thing is that he got a game-high 5 steals on the defensive end. Full of presence.
If you want to make a 3-pointer in front of Curry, then it's best to have Curry join him for a 3-pointer, so that Thibodeau shouldn't blame him for making a bad shot.
"Hey Curry, I heard you're a great three-pointer, really? Let's make it one to three." Chen Shu was 1 meter away from the 3-point line, and before he finished speaking, the dry pull jump shooting skill was launched, and "hey" was lucky.
Score, 76:75.
"What a arrogant rookie, then do what you want" Curry was a little annoyed with this cunning rookie and decided to educate him.
Curry turned around, took advantage of a feint to worship Buddha, and stepped back to return one from the 3-point line.
Score, 79:75.
Chen Shu was taken aback, and his defensive sliding steps didn't keep up with Curry. It seems that there is a lot of talent in the alliance.
Curry just glanced at Chen Shu lightly and didn't speak, but the look of disdain had already jumped on his face.
Chen Shu didn't dare to keep flying three points like this, just if he didn't enter, maybe he would be replaced by Xibode, after all, he was still a rookie substitute. Honestly cooperated with his teammates to play tactics.
Back in the half, Chen Shu showed the state of a point guard, quickly captured the dynamics of the court, and passed the basketball to the open teammates at the first time, he was still standing at the top of the arc, but the basketball was passed to Gibson in an unexpected way, and Gibson hit an easy jumper.
Although the whole process does not have any difficult skills, it is not flashy enough. But it's practical, as a talented point guard who has proven himself in college, even if he doesn't use the skill of one-handed straight plugging, Chen Shu's passing skills can help the team.
Soon, the Warriors launched a fast-break offensive, and Curry flexibly got rid of Chen Shu, broke through to the restricted area, and assisted David Lee to score a dunk. David Lee is a positional player who always finds good attacking opportunities.
The pace of the game seemed to have been set, and for the next five minutes, the two sides were fast and slow, and the game was a little anxious.
It can be seen that Chen Shu's offensive ability may not be as good as Rose's, but the team's offensive aspect is still stronger than Rose. With the skill of one-handed direct plugging, the inside line is played again and again, and with the skill bonus of Chen Zhongzhong's distance, the hit rate of more than 50% is reached.
In Curry's direct conversation, at least not to fall behind. The coaching staff on the sidelines saw it in their eyes and became more and more relieved about Chen Shu.
With just over a minute left in the fourth quarter, he had already reached five assists and completed the second task. Chen Shu took advantage of Curry's unstable defense and chased a 3-point shot. In this way, the first task is also 2/3 completed. And the score finally overtook it.
96:97。
However, seeing that the game time was only a little bit away, just when Chen Shu was still worried that the task might not be completed. Thibodeau called a timeout and replaced Rose.
"Rely on ... Boss, give me a chance. There is still a task" just when Chen Shu shouted in his heart, thinking that he was going to replace him, only to find that Thibodeau pointed at Gibson.
This is to play a double control position, in fact, Thibodeau has long found out that Chen Shu can play without the ball, and in addition to the paint area offense, the mid-range and outside three-point shooting, the catch and jump shot efficiency is not low.
In the last minute or so, the game continued, and the Bulls' strategy was that Rose broke through the basket to attract the defense, and Noace should divide the ball from the outside and cooperate inside and outside. The Bulls had 2 stable 3-point points on the outside, Chen Shu and Hamilton, so the Warriors did not dare to shrink the defense, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to use Rose's breakthrough to cooperate with the interior, and the Warriors' already not very defensive interior line was penetrated.
At the end of the game, the Warriors didn't have much to parry.
Final score, 99:103.
The game was won, to Chen Shu's regret, at the end of the game, his teammates did not give him a chance to shoot, and in the last few rounds, Chen Shu's role was to contain the outside line. So the first task was not completed.
The Bulls came out on a thrilling second victory. And in this battle, Chen Shu did not play a key role. He only got 10 points, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, and the first task was not completed. However, 10 points and 5 assists in a single quarter is already efficient, but compared to the first game, it is not so amazing.
And Curry, who was on the other side, played well today, scoring 23 points + 10 assists. crushed Chen Shu in terms of data, but Chen Shu only played one session, which is not easy to compare.
After the game, Chen Shu originally wanted to find Curry to chat, and knew from the system that Curry had a super perverted skill, and he would be a super giant in the future.
“hi,curry。 You were really brilliant today. Chen Shu came over and patted Curry on the shoulder and spoke.
"Uh... You're also very good, I'm still not good enough, otherwise it's ours who won" Curry was a little stunned when he saw Chen Shu, and when he came back to his senses, he still said humbly.
"Oh, you don't have to be modest, I have a hunch that you will definitely become a supergiant in the alliance in the future." Chen Shu pretended that he had expected it.
"Uh... Are you sure? Borrow your auspicious words, I think you should also achieve something in the future, I can see that you have good talent" Curry looked confused, and then politely complimented.
The two didn't continue to say anything, but just left each other's contact information, and agreed to communicate more in the future and practice together.
"In this game, Chen Shu played very well, but the playing time limited his play, it can be seen that Chen Shu is a strong player, and what may be missing is just an opportunity. But there's no problem getting into the NBA. Zhang Weiping objectively analyzed.
The Internet has already quarreled, and the sunspots said, "Chen Shu is just a substitute with average strength, you can show timidity when you watch the second game." Fans said, "You can do it, you can go on, 10+5 in a single quarter, the strength is only at the average bench level, do you know the ball?" ”
Chen Shu doesn't have much time to care about things on the Internet now. The Bulls' schedule is four in a row. The remaining two games will be against the National Open and the Clippers.
Luckily, there was still a day off in between. Otherwise, even if they are professional athletes, they can't bear it.
