171. Continue to cultivate tacit understanding!
Curry turned back to defend with a hint of anticipation and regret. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When it was his turn to attack in the East, Irving wanted to prove himself too much, holding the ball and not letting go, wanting to organize the offense or score on his own.
But the defense on the western side is airtight, the defense arranged by Popovich is not a joke, and the eastern side except for James who tries his best to block Irving, everyone else has a playful mentality.
The western side continued to counterattack, and the difference was widened to 12-0 in three or two!
Not again!
Owen missed Liu Ren's three-point shot on the outside!
Liu Ren's height and speed advantages are obvious, and Irving can only shoot three points from a large back, and he didn't even touch the basket, and was easily picked up by Thackeray for a rebound.
The West Strikes Back!
Liu Ren quickly went down, and Owen and James struggled to catch up.
Liu Ren went to the front court to receive Kobe Bryant's long pass and was caught up by James, Liu Ren saw Curry running over and was about to pass.
Irving immediately went to the top of the three-point arc to block Liu Ren's pass, and after so many rounds, Curry had already shot two three-pointers, and Irving knew that Curry's three-point was powerful and was ready to intercept.
Liu Ren saw that Irving blocked the passing route and planned not to pass, but Fuzhi threw the ball outside the 45-degree angle three-point line on the right side of the basket, and Curry also ran there tacitly.
As soon as the ball was passed to the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, Curry just ran to the position to receive the ball and made a three-point shot!
Again!
15 to 0!
In just three minutes and seventeen seconds, the West beat the East 15-0!
James hurriedly called a timeout, this rhythm is not right! The competitive attitude of the two sides is not at the same level at all!
Liu Ren and Curry got off to a hot start!
Liu Ren had 6 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound, Curry scored 9 points, and the two played each other 15-0 together!
In the east, there is no data outside of Owen 5 in 0!
"Haha, Stephen, your three-point is too powerful, I always think my three-point is strong enough, I think you may be better than me in this one!" Liu Ren rarely praised his opponent on his strengths.
Curry also smiled meaningfully and said: "It's you who pass well, always send the ball to me in the position I feel most comfortable, others don't dare to pass such a ball, don't they all say that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score?" ”
Liu Ren thinks about it, who else dares to pass a lot of this kind of ball to Curry in the Warriors except for Green, who is not afraid of things?
Curry later became the king of three-pointers, largely with Green's bold passes, allowing Curry to keep chasing three-pointers when it was clear that others had the opportunity to attack the basket directly, and throwing in, which made Curry famous in the waves.
"Ouch, it looks like I asked Kupchak to get Green away, poor Curry, I hope you can find another passer......" Liu Ren suddenly felt a little sorry for Curry.
However, Green's passing is really bold and smart enough, and Liu Ren and his partner are also very tacit.
So Liu Ren is at most praying for Curry in his heart, as for sending Green back to the Warriors? No way!
Western Conference All-Star head coach Popovich on the side glanced at Liu Ren, then Curry, and then at Liu Ren, his eyes wandering back and forth on Liu Ren and Curry.
Popovich has a feeling that these two people seem to have an unexpected tacit understanding! It doesn't seem like a good sign!
Then Popovich laughed, thinking to himself that he was blind to worry.
"Even if Liu and Curry have a chance to partner up, it will be three years later, and it can't affect us now, maybe it will affect the Warriors, so why don't you let the two of them continue to cultivate a tacit understanding?" Popovich unconsciously smiled evilly.
Sure enough, Popovich added some scenes to Curry on the offensive end, allowing Curry to follow Liu Ren's ball-holding position to run out of the right gap.
Popovich has a reasonable reason for this adjustment: "Liu, you have to take the MVP best score and assist, this kind of game is very simple for you to get two or three points, if you can get more assists at the same time, we win your chances of winning the MVP will be greater!" ”
This reason didn't even feel inappropriate even for Kobe, who was very uneasy about Popovich, and it seemed to be very reasonable.
On the Eastern side, James began to motivate others, and then after taking away the head coach's board in the regular season, playoffs, and Finals, he also did it in the All-Star Game, taking the board away when Vogel was about to take over the assistant coach's board.
After getting a reply from the Eastern All-Stars who are willing to cooperate, James began to arrange offensive tactics according to the lineup on the court, as for the defense, there is really no way, with Thackeray as big as a man in it, there must be someone squatting on the inside, or the kind of white squatting.
After returning from the timeout, Owen found that it was really a lot better! It's finally time to show off your offensive prowess!
As long as his teammates are willing to cooperate, Irving's offensive end is still very strong, his teammates' running positions pull the interior defense apart, Irving's scoring ability under the basket and mid-range shooting and passing are all showing, and the Eastern scoring begins to increase gradually.
But Popovich is not only good on defense, but also not afraid of anyone on offense!
As far as the Spurs' current core lineup of the old man, he can play the sixth offense in the league, and only the Lakers, Rockets, Thunder, Timberwolves, and Clippers have higher points per game than the Spurs.
With such a good hand in hand, and D'Antoni's proven offensive play, Popovich can play casually against the dismal defense in the East!
Due to Popovich's deliberate arrangement, the protagonist on the court became Liu Ren + Curry VS Irving.
Liu Ren's inside impact and outside projection were fully brought into full play by Popovich, who played a wave of scoring to attract the Eastern defense and began to make the ball for Curry.
Curry's shooting is really accurate, Liu Ren passed the ball to him eighty percent of the ball, and Liu Ren dared to pass the ball over when Curry was defending, he didn't know why he just felt that Curry should be in that position!
And Curry himself doesn't know why he thinks he can score when he receives Liu Ren's ball when there is a defender, and then he shoots it, but it goes in!
Two-fisted four-handed is Irving's current situation, Popovich, an old monster, rarely devoted himself to the All-Star Game, controlling the situation on the court, and changing the rhythm of the game to Liu Ren and Curry against Irving together.
Despite his ability to be a first-class coach, James is still a player after all, and he can't fight the old monster like Popovich at all.
It's normal for the All-Star to have a big point difference, and after more than two minutes in the fourth quarter, the West has led the East by more than 40 points 149-104, and the overall situation has been decided!
Irving, who scored 44 points and 9 assists in the third quarter, watched Liu Ren and Curry high-five, and his plan to prepare for most of the season was crushed by the two. (To be continued.) )
