Chapter 164: The Raging Curry
"Wow, our twin brother is here!" Smith was changing his jersey when he saw Don Shuai and Stephenson enter the locker room, and a loudspeaker immediately went on the air at the first hour.
"Damn, Don, when did you get as angry as Lance?" Griffin was also surprised to see Tang Shuai's outfit.
"Josh, flash, flash off the lights!"
When Stephenson heard what Griffin said, instead of getting angry, he pulled Tang Shuai and posed while shouting to Smith to take the phone.
When Smith took a few pictures, he jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Cool, we're the coolest Los Angeles bandits!" ”
Tang Shuai had an innocent expression on his face, and the other team members also shook their heads helplessly.
"Hey, Lance, don't you take it badly." Pierce came up at this time to stop Stephenson, who was getting more and more self-congratulatory.
Stephenson smiled wryly, and Pierce, the leader of the locker room, had spoken, and he naturally restrained himself.
"Let's change our clothes, just now Doug said that he would go to the video conference room later." Pierce then continued.
Hearing what he said, Tang Shuai also walked to his wardrobe and began to change clothes.
When the change was almost over, Reeves really appeared at the door of the locker room, and when he saw that the players had changed their clothes, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Let's talk about the tactics of the night in the video conference room first." ”
When the team heard this, they quickly changed into their socks and followed Reeves into the video conference room.
The projector was already ready to watch, and Reeves immediately began to speak.
This kind of video analysis meeting, Tang Shuai first came into contact with in the summer league, and has experienced several times since then, mostly explaining the opponent's tactics, and the defensive and offensive tactics that need to be carried out against the opponent's tactics.
Normally, that's the case, but today it's noticeably different, because Reaves isn't talking about the Warriors' tactics, but is constantly analyzing the core of the Warriors, the player who has exploded this season, Stephen Curry.
Curry was a rookie in '09, because of a frequent ankle injury, before 2013, he was at most a first-line star, and the backcourt double shot with Monta Alice made people have a little memory, but since 2013, after reinforcing the ankle protection, his whole person exploded.
In the 2013-2014 season, under the leadership of the Warriors' previous coach, Marco Jackson, the Warriors improved their overall defensive strength while maintaining their offensive standards, which allowed them to make history in the playoffs.
In the first round of the game with the Nuggets, when Iguodala was still on the Nuggets, Curry played a god-level performance against Iguodala, a super defensive giant.
Especially in the fourth game of the coaches between the two sides, Curry made three three-point shots in just five minutes, plus three assists, and scored 21 points in a single quarter, which decided the trend of the game in one fell swoop.
You must know that the Nuggets almost used a double or even a three-man package against Curry at that time, but Curry can still use super ability to get rid of and include Yan. Shooting and two-step shooting outside the three-point line are scored in a perverted way, completely ignoring the tactical style of play, and gradually forming the slogans of "perverted accuracy" and "as long as the shooting is accurate, the tactics can die".
Wait until last season, Kerr took over, completely released Curry's offensive power, and it was out of control, all kinds of incredible three-point shots gradually became its conventional weapons, coupled with the already excellent breakthrough and passing, it was completely into the realm of God blocking and killing God and Buddha, and while winning the MVP, he also led the team to win the championship, and slapped those doubters hard, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it created a new way to win the championship.
And this kind of performance is not a flash in the pan, and when it comes to the new season, Curry's performance has not deteriorated, but has become even more crazy, and it can even be said that he has completely entered another realm.
In the first four games, he averaged 39.3 points, 7.3 assists and 2.33 steals per game, shooting 58.8% from the field, 52.1% from three-point range, and scored 53 points in a single game against the Pelicans.
Reeves is obviously well aware of this, so in this video conference, he focused on how to defend Curry, including a series of details such as helping defense, blocking and substitutions, etc., which can be said to be fully prepared.
On November 5, U.S. time, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Clippers sat at home and welcomed the challenge of the Golden State Warriors.
The 20,000-person arena was packed, and the fans wore red T-shirts, echoing the white jerseys of the Clippers' home players.
This is the Clippers' second home game of the season, and the team's owner Ballmer appeared on the sidelines as usual, but compared to the last time, he has a little daughter next to him, and this old man in his sixties also wears a red T-shirt, which shows that he also loves basketball very much.
It was still a shocking opening, the cheers of the fans were more fanatical than the opening game, and after that pre-season game, you could feel how eager the home team was to win the game.
The Warriors' lineup has undergone some changes from the previous game, the biggest change is of course the return of the main core Curry, but their starting center Bogut is out due to injury, and Aizeli, who caused the two teams to fight each other last time, is in the starting lineup.
The Clippers are still the same starting lineup as ever.
After Jordan Jr. turned the ball back to the Clippers backcourt, the first regular season game between the two sides officially began!
As soon as he came up, Paul took advantage of Griffin's block to successfully score two points inside and make a good start for the Clippers.
The fans then erupted in excited cheers.
But soon, Curry began his performance, dribbling to the frontcourt, giving Green, getting rid of Paul and running back to the three-point line, after receiving the ball, he feinted and flickered, shaking Redick who was making up for the defense, dribbling to the side three-point line, raising his hand to shoot, and shooting as soon as he shot.
The most difficult thing about Curry's three-point shot is his shooting speed, the whole one is a beat faster than others, making it difficult for you to judge whether he is a fake shot or a real shot, if you don't jump, he may really throw it, but if you jump, Redick is a typical example.
And this three-pointer was just the beginning, and in the next half quarter or so, Curry hit two more three-pointers in a row, one in the face of Paul's face. Shooting, once dribbling to the three-point line, and in addition to assisting Thompson and Green to score layups successively, he led the Warriors to take the initiative on the court from the beginning.
And what's even more lethal is that Paul got two fouls in the process of defending Curry, and had to go off the game early just after the halfway point of the first quarter.
