Chapter 297: Curry is accidentally injured

Hougist didn't start attacking until 7 seconds into the arc top press, and used his most consistent slashing stunt in five years - a three-point step back from the crotch pull. He's almost never missed a shot in that position, but this time he swiped out the basket after easily shaking off Green. The Warriors fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, but Hoggist froze in place, even forgetting that the Warriors still had time to complete an offense.

Curry quickly advanced with the ball, calmly threw the ball to the basket before the lights came on when he stepped on the halfway line, Curry is very good at this kind of ultra-long three-pointer, he has made a lot of this kind of whistle shot in recent seasons, this ball has been drilled into the basket after the light is on, but it has not been more than half of the center of gravity of the ball and then turned around twice and fell out, this time it was the turn of the Lakers players to breathe a sigh of relief. At halftime, the Lakers led the Warriors by 11 points at 57:46, and although Curry had an explosive 90-second scoring performance in the second quarter, the Lakers actually won the Warriors by 1 point in a single quarter.

"Well done, well done!" Shashewski has been repeating this sentence tonight, after all, the Lakers can't be compared to the Warriors on paper, the Warriors are the defending champions, who are we special? But such a lineup that just crawled out of the mud of the swing, but led the Warriors by as many as 11 points at halftime, how could this not make the old Coach K ecstatic? But in order to ensure his calm and cautious personality, Shashewski is not too exaggerated, so he keeps repeating these two sentences.

However, Kobe Bryant keenly found the problem, after halftime, everyone rushed into the player's tunnel, Hougist was stopped by reporters for an interview, Kobe Bryant waited in the shadow on the inside of the passage, like a cheetah waiting for the prey to appear, and waited until Hoggist finished dealing with the reporter and walked back into the passage, Kobe Bryant jumped out of the shadows and pressed Horgist's shoulders with both hands, "Why did you stay where you were after the last shot and didn't participate in the defense?" Curry almost played a transition offense, leading by 11 points and leading by 8 points is not the same, and if Curry really threw in that half-court whistle, their momentum in the second half may not be able to be suppressed! ”

"Uh...... You've found out," Haugist rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, "My step-back three-pointer is my repertoire, the way I'm most sure of scoring, I never thought I'd miss a step-back three!" ”

"Please, Jordan will also butter the ball out of the baseline when he is unguarded and dunk! We're fighting a 'Iwo Jima' style battle, don't let this meaningless little thing bother your state of mind! I don't have time to be your nanny to take care of your emotions in this kind of game, you have to adjust your mentality quickly, even if your shooting is a mess, don't lose the confidence to attack, I once said, I'd rather shoot 0 out of 30 than 0 out of 9, 0 out of 9 means you're beaten by yourself, you don't have the confidence to continue shooting, you can't play, so to hell with that miss's three! Just make a few more shots in the second half! "Kobe Bryant educates Hougist in his own way.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Haugess nodded, but the dark clouds had already cast a shadow in his heart, he strolled to the locker room, listened to the mood that had been silent for a long time, and unconsciously sang the chaotic mood in a low voice, "Clear and transparent, like a beautiful landscape, always seen clearly in the memory......"

"Are you singing? It seems that your mentality has adjusted quite quickly! Bryant laughed.

"Did I make a sound?" Hoggist was startled, he thought it was the voice in his head.

The two laughed and returned to the locker room, no one thought that this missed three-point goal would seriously affect Haugist's mentality.

Šašewski, who was in the locker room, emphasized the focus of the second half, "The stats from these two seasons tell us that the Warriors tend to be able to play a wave of crazy counterattacks in the second half, no matter how big the hole is dug in the first half, they can fill it in an instant, so I want you to forget about the lead and treat the second half as if it was a new game, we still need to start the game, understand?" ”

Everyone nodded, the first half could be played so smoothly, and everyone believed that as long as they kept focusing, they would be able to continue to suppress the Warriors! After all, the Lakers are the leading side, and the atmosphere in the locker room is quite cheerful, but who would have thought that the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room is even more jubilant, as if they are not 11 points behind but 30 points ahead, and everyone is laughing at Curry's bad luck when it comes to the half-time whistle three-pointer that brushes the basket. And Curry is also not to be outdone, hitting back at his teammates with all kinds of jokes. Only Luke. Wharton and Green had a serious exchange of tactics in the corner.

At the beginning of the second half, Klay took the lead, using Bogut's cover to hit a mid-range shot in the elbow area, Jeremy Lin dribbled to the frontcourt, and Turner blocked the attack at the top of the arc, Turner received the ball and attacked the basket strongly, but Bogut in front of him fell to the ground in response to the confrontation, the referee blew Turner's offensive foul, Turner felt very aggrieved, the ball did not sink his shoulders and elbows, but he just used pure physical strength to carry Bogut, Bogut This is a clumsy fake fall with no acting skills at all, Why would the referee blow himself for an offensive foul?

Turner wanted to reason with the referee, but Hougist hurriedly pulled him away, "Brother, don't go up!" You see how much I lost by the referee in the first dozen games? If you go to the referee now, it's equivalent to giving away someone's head, isn't that even more of Bogut's trick? ”

Turning into Turner's mood and back on the defensive end, Klay had a good hand, rounded the screen to receive the ball and hit another mid-range shot in the same position. The point difference was forced to close to 7 points, and Hougist started to use 3 points to pull the difference back to double digits, facing Barnes at the top of the arc, Haugist suddenly started to break through on the right side with the ball, Barnes hurriedly chased back, when Barnes just turned around and was about to move back, Hougist reused his crotch dribble to his left hand and stepped back to the three-point line to jump and shoot, so Barnes walked to the basket Hoggist retreated to the top of the arc, and a huge space was staggered between the two, which was simply an unguarded shooting exercise. However, the kind of step-back three-pointer that Hoggist can shoot even with his left hand and eyes closed on weekdays actually brushed out of the basket for the second time in a row.

“Fxxk!” Hougist stared at his hand and cursed in a low voice. However, after Kobe Bryant's halftime reminder, Hougist did not stay stunned again, but quickly threw himself into the defense, Curry handed the ball to Green at the top of the arc, and he used the cover of Barnes on the wing to run to the empty bottom corner, but Hoggist judged Curry's intentions and occupied the favorable terrain in advance, Curry bypassed the cover and plunged into Hoggist's arms, and Green's ball passed to the bottom corner at the same moment. At this moment, the bottom corner was empty, and this cannonball pass flew straight out of the bottom line.

"Good defense!" Kobe applauded Hoggist, and he was glad that Hoggist listened to his advice and didn't let the slump on the offensive end affect the defense.

Although Hoggist can still give a wonderful performance on the defensive end, but he has become hesitant on the offensive end, he wants to try another shot, after all, Kobe Bryant also said that 30 in 0 is better than not daring to shoot, but he is also worried that his selfish wave will affect the team's feel and mentality, and the opponent's pressure to chase points is also very high, and his bad hand of not scoring will be transmitted to all teammates through the medium of pressure.

Hoggist hesitated again and again, intending to give the ball to Kobe Bryant's offense, but the pass was too casual and was stealed by Klay, Curry quickly counterattacked, Hoggist came back to his senses and hurriedly chased back, Klay was very timely, but Hoggist was not slow to chase, Curry did not get a chance to shoot outside the three-point line, so he continued to dribble to the basket, Curry adjusted his pace and kicked the ground and took off to the basket, Hoggist followed closely and prepared to send a hot pot feast.

Curry was going to pull the rod for a layup, but he saw the follow-up Barnes in the afterglow, so he passed the ball to Barnes from behind, but he was knocked out of the air by Haugist. The follow-up Barnes hit an unguarded easy dunk. Hougist took the ball out of bounds and sent it directly to Jeremy Lin in the front court to launch a counterattack, but Bogut rushed up and hugged Lin, although Jeremy Lin didn't know what Bogut wanted to do, but he still wittily forced a shot before being hugged. Bogut took the initiative to apply for a foul, but he didn't expect to be rubbed by Jeremy Lin for a shooting foul.

At this time, everyone found that Curry was still leaning against the basket of the Lakers' baseline line, sitting on the floor without getting up, and checking his ankle with a painful expression. It turned out that Curry had accidentally twisted his ankle when he landed after confronting Hogist in the air, and Bogut fouled the ball so that the team doctor could come in to check on Curry's injury. However, Curry moved his ankle a few times and tried to stand up on his own, and although he walked with a slight limp, he didn't seem to have any major problems.

Out of responsibility for the player's health, Walton replaced Curry with Livingston and asked him to return to the locker room for a team doctor's examination. Jeremy Lin didn't perform well at the free throw line, only one of the two free throws, but fortunately, the Warriors didn't have Curry and one less tactical threat on the court, Klay was more tightly limited, and couldn't run out of the open space, but Green pushed Randle away from the elbow area and ran back to the wing outside the three-point line to get the open spot and shoot a three-pointer.

However, Green's three-point shooting was nowhere near as accurate as Curry's, and the end result of this shot was just an extra rebound to Turner's stat bar. Haugist asked for the ball in the front court, Randle put up the cover, Haugist attracted the bag and then distributed the ball to Randle, facing Bogut's supplemental defense, Randle once again played his passing vision to give the ball to Turner through Bogut, but there was a mistake, smashed the ball on Bogut's leg, the ball rolled to the top of the arc, Klay picked up the floor ball and quickly counterattacked, Haugist continued to play his physical advantage to block Klay's way, but Green got a misplaced single Jeremy Lin under the basket, Clay hit the ball to Green, but the ball hit the ground too close to Green, the ball didn't bounce to the right height, Green bent down to catch the ball but triggered the Butter Hand DeBuff, the ball slipped out of his hands, concentrated his crotch, refracted and passed under his crotch, and flew out of the baseline.

The Lakers were lucky to get the ball back, but Horgist's good shot went wide of the basket for his third consecutive shot. Consecutive failures were bound to be punished, and Klay drew a foul on the defender Hoggist in the next offense and got two free throws.

Klay didn't relented this time, hitting both free throws, Jeremy Lin dribbled to the front court to Hoggist, Hougist held the ball in one hand two steps outside the three-point line on the wing, patted his head, Green thought that this was another tactic to execute, so he planned to rush up and break the ball while Haugist observed the situation on the court. But Hoggist did this just to get himself up on the offensive end to get back into the groove, seeing Green rushing towards the ball in his hand, Hoggist was like a Spanish bullfighter playing an angry bull, grabbing the ball with one hand and squeezing sideways past Green, dribbling forward and making a quick stop, throwing a three-pointer again, this time the basketball finally stumbled into the basket.

Hoggist clenched his fists and waved in celebration, finally regaining his touch, it seems that Kobe Bryant is right, don't think too much, just shoot. However, Green was not going to give up after being teased by Hoggist, he rarely took the initiative to ask for the ball in the front court to signal everyone to pull away, and he wanted to play Haugist alone.

Although Hoggist is not confident in defending Curry, he is still full of confidence in dealing with Green, facing an opponent who is not as fast as himself, the rhythm change is not outstanding, and there is no brute force, why is Hoggist afraid? I can't limit Green's breakthrough shot, but trying to score on my head is wishful thinking!

Hougist looked at Green contemptuously, waiting for him to make a move, Green was also very upright, dribbling directly to the basket, Hougist sideways and ready to send out the block when Green shot, but Green played a trick of cheating and fouling with a big loop, and the back of his hand also hit Hoggist's face, the referee blew Hoggist's foul, and at this time, Hoggist walked to the side with Venus in his eyes, this slap was quite ruthless, Hoggist's snot and tears flowed together, and it took a long time to stop.

Green triumphantly walked to the free throw line, which not only caused a foul on Hougist, but also gave him a slap in the face, which was really relieved.

"Huh!" Green, who was in a happy mood, hit the first hollow shot, and at this time, even the sound of the ball rubbing against the net made Green feel so pleasant, and his mouth imitated the sound of screaming.

Hoggist wiped away his tears and mocked: "You are also rare on the field, you really should celebrate, do you want to go back to the locker room to open a bottle of champagne?" ”

Green was in the mood and didn't bother with Hougist, intending to throw another hollow to hit Hougist's face, but the second penalty Green adjusted for a long time but awkwardly threw a hollow outside the basket, and the ball grazed the net and fell out of the bottom line.
