Chapter 156: What is the Splash Brothers? That's it!
~
After the timeout, the Warriors possessed the ball, and Curry held the ball to organize the offense.
Just now, head coach Jackson said that he had problems in the game, and to be honest, Moe God was not too interested in Jackson's words. He didn't think he did anything wrong in the game, and the only flaw was that his shooting percentage was a little low. He shot five balls before, including two three-pointers and three three-pointers, adding up to five zeros, and he felt defeated!
However, although he took almost half of the team's shots, no teammates blamed him. First, everyone has been together for so long, and I believe in his strength; The second is to sympathize with him, after all, Yang Yi was cheated like this at the beginning, and no one feels uncomfortable, and it is normal to vent!
And now, after a short break, Curry has fully recovered. He wants to let the little fat man know what a cute god is and what a splash brother is! This is Golden State, the home of the Warriors, and Oracle Arena is not something he can come and go whenever he wants.
After dribbling to the front court, Moe God quickly transferred the ball out, and he was running without the ball. He knows that his advantage over Yang Yi is that he has flexible speed and the ability to shoot when he catches the ball. As long as you take advantage of this, you won't have to worry about not being able to compete with the fat man on three-point shots.
Swish!
Thompson jumped up and pulled up after receiving Curry's pass near the left three-point line, and his shooting arc wasn't as big as Curry's, but it was steady. The shot added three points to the Warriors, and he himself scored for the first time since the opening game.
At 17:10, Thompson's three-pointer stretched the difference between the two teams to single digits.
Gordon's hand fell limply from mid-air, and he tried his best to stop Thompson's attack. At this moment, he longed to wear a ten-centimeter height shoe, so that he would not be so passive.
Height is a hard wound in the quarterback! Gordon thought. However, there is no way to do it, the Hornets' chief point guard must be The One, and if he wants to go to the point guard position, there may still be a place on the bench. And the most important thing is that his ball control skills are too rough compared to the average point guard, and he can't be said to be compared with the average point guard with delicate skills, even The One!
It's better to stay in the quarterback position with peace of mind! Anyway, my need for the ball is not too big, as long as I can receive the ball in the open space.
Yang Yi didn't know what Gordon was thinking, and when he saw the friction caused by Thompson's shot hollowing into the net, he suddenly remembered the nickname of the Warriors' two guards, 'Splash Brothers'. It is to describe the accurate shooting of Meng Shen and Tang Shen, and after the ball enters the basket, the net is brushed up like a splash. It is said that this nickname was made up by James, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Curry and Thompson's shots in the opening game were repeatedly missed, and Yang Yi did not underestimate them. His current right-hand weapon is Curry-style three-pointers, and Thompson can be on par with Curry, and he will definitely not be far behind.
Now after Thompson received Curry's ball and hit a three-point shot directly, the fat man had a clear understanding in his heart: the three-point score of these two guys is about to wake up.
Sure enough, in the next game, Thompson and Curry took more than half of the Warriors' shots, and even the team's boss David Lee did not have as much of the ball as theirs.
Swish!
Curry took a direct shot after getting rid of Young's pass from Barnes in the open space, and the ball crossed a wonderful arc in the open space and fell straight into the basket, and the net rolled like a splash.
Swish! It's Curry again! He hit a solid three-pointer after dribbling away from Yang Yi.
In just three minutes, Thompson and Curry hit back-to-back three-pointers. The Warriors are aggressive and seem to be about to catch up with the Hornets.
"Hey, Stephen, your three points are good, where did you steal it!" Seeing Curry's high-spirited appearance after hitting a three-point shot, the fat man couldn't help but tease him.
Hearing this, Curry just glanced at the fat man lightly and walked back silently, he knew what the fat man meant. But what if the fat man teases? It's not what to do if you're not ready......
"Uh, that's a real personality!" The fat man saw that the cute god didn't care about himself, and he didn't feel interesting, so he simply concentrated on organizing the team's attack.
The Warriors' back-to-back three-point shots made Hornets head coach Williams jump in horror. He had seen Yang Yi shoot three points before, and he had not experienced 52 points in a single quarter. But the Warriors were magnificent, and the three-point rain came suddenly, if it wasn't for Yang Yi leading the team to stop the Warriors' counterattack, the Warriors would have overtaken the score.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 28-27, and the Hornets' previous 10-point lead was wiped out, leaving them with a meagre one-point lead. What can you do with a single point, but a gap of less than a ball!
Within minutes of the timeout, Curry and Thompson combined for 14 points, accounting for two-thirds of the Warriors' total. Among them, Curry made two of three three-pointers and one of two two-pointers, scoring 8 points; Thompson made one three-point shot, one two-point shot, and added free throws to score a total of six points.
As for the Hornets, Yang Yi scored a team-high 14 points, plus two assists and one rebound, and Gordon scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, which is considered a normal performance.
However, fortunately, the first quarter of the game was over, and there was a buffer time. Otherwise, if the Warriors are allowed to play like this, the Hornets will be overtaken sooner or later. And after the timeout came back, the Warriors felt warmer, and Williams didn't call a timeout to interrupt the rhythm and heat of the Warriors, but it didn't have much effect.
It can be said that the first half of the game was dominated by the Hornets, and the Warriors only had the home team's performance in the second half.
Sitting on the bench and watching the warriors not far away talking and laughing, and then looking at the somewhat dull atmosphere on his side, the fat man couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It stands to reason that our side is still in the lead, and the atmosphere will not be so dull. But the truth is that they have the lead in the score, but they are pressed down by the Warriors in terms of momentum. But it's no wonder that the Warriors' attacks in the second half of the first quarter were too ferocious, and the Hornets were barely able to parry.
Nima, the attack power is amazing! The fat man sighed in his heart. The Warriors are one of the most aggressive teams he's ever experienced, and falling behind by more than ten points is nothing for them. It only took a few threes for them to catch up and it didn't take much effort.
The Splash Brothers, live up to their name!
Of course, the fat man only sees the present, and does not think about the future at all. It wasn't until Kerr became the owner of the Warriors that he single-handedly formulated a special three-point strategy for the Warriors, and the Warriors officially took off. And Thompson and Curry's achievements are far more than that, they will be the target of the opponent's heavy defense in the future, and one person can contain most of the opponent's troops.
