Chapter 040: Depressed Stephen Curry
Li Ze checked all the badges in the achievement room of Dream Space, and reconfirmed that most of the badges' experience was stuck at around 25/50, which made his motivation for the summer league instantly less than half.
"It seems that you have to fish, no badge experience, this kind of competition is a waste of time, at most a few organizational badges."
Li Ze depressedly exited the achievement room, clicked on the music in the dream space to soothe his mood, and immediately devoted himself to basic training and continued to complete today's training plan.
After getting up in the morning and returning from a morning run, Li Ze found Curry eating alone in the hotel restaurant.
"Hey, Bro, how are you doing with the Warriors? Didn't Ayesha come with you? Li Ze stepped forward to say hello.
"Ayesha is busy with credits, hey, I feel terrible, the Warriors don't have a shortage of guards at all, although the coach told me that the team has plans for the future, but maybe I won't play too much time in the new season."
Curry frowned at the mention of the Warriors, after all, he came up competing with a star guard, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he could directly replace the other party in his rookie season.
"Calm down, maybe the old Nelson didn't lie to you, maybe the Warriors will really trade Monta Ellis away in the future, do you want to go out and have a good time after the game!"
Li Ze could only comfort Curry, after all, he couldn't empathize with this matter.
"Forget it, I'm going to have to play well in the summer league and try to get more playing time in the new season."
Sure enough, Curry is still more self-disciplined than the bearded golfer, of course, it is not excluded that his wife is strict, after all, Ayesha takes Curry to death.
......
Today's opponent of the Thunder team is the Golden State Warriors, and the Warriors are basically development league players except for Curry, who come to the summer league to earn contracts.
During the warm-up, Curry threw farther and farther, and finally made a three-pointer from the almost midfield position, which caused the audience to let out a burst of exclamations.
The commentator also boasted at the right time, "Stephen Curry is the super shooter selected by the Warriors this year, Curry played well in college, but unfortunately he was eliminated by Kayce's UCLA in the end, so this game should be very good!" ”
Li Ze didn't know what the commentator was talking about, and he was warming up and planning how to effectively touch the fish, after all, he really lacked motivation in this game.
"Kayce, it's up to you today, remember to pass me a few more balls, I didn't enjoy playing yesterday!" Byron was full of energy, but a big man like him was obviously not suitable for the scene of the two sides fighting around.
"Don't worry, Bro, when the ball arrives, I'll definitely pass it if I have the chance." Li Ze happily agreed, and it should be regarded as an achievement badge.
"Today's audience can enjoy the performance of Warriors super shooter Stephen Curry, and of course, don't ignore the Thunder's Kayce, both of whom are first-round rookies this year, and I don't know who will win today!"
The on-site commentator began to mobilize the atmosphere of the audience, "Okay, the game begins, and Byron of the Thunder jumps to the first offense for the team. ”
Curry looked at Li Ze, who was holding the ball in front of him, and was taken aback, the forward line turned to point guard, which is a bit of a big change!
Li Ze was not polite in the face of Curry, who was a lap younger than him, and directly asked Byron to initiate a block, Curry knew Li Ze's projection ability, and quickly squeezed through the cover, trying to interfere with Li Ze.
But Li Ze relied on his body and crushed Curry to the inside, and the defenders had to come up to help defend, but Li Ze threw a high throw.
Byron's favorite flying cake smashed the ball into the basket steadily.
"Wow, wonderful assist, maybe it's a good choice for the Thunder to let Kayce play point guard!" The on-site narrator immediately sent a hymn.
Curry is a little depressed, if he doesn't play a good small forward, what kind of point guard do he play, this height, arm span, and weight are not at the same level at all.
Curry is still playing with dexterity and speed, in fact, his strength is not at a loss compared with the guards of the same period, but compared with Li Ze, it suddenly seems that he is a little thinner.
After Curry dribbled across the half court, looking at Li Ze who was opposite him in front of him, he was suddenly a little speechless in his heart, and after calling a block, Li Ze also squeezed through the cover to press Curry, and at this time he showed the advantage of height and arm span.
Li Ze, who has the [ankle pad] badge, rarely eats when facing Curry, and covers him with his body throughout the whole process, Curry has no choice but to play the ball directly and begins to use off-ball cover to get rid of Li Ze's defense.
Li Ze didn't chase hard at this time, after all, the summer league doesn't have to be too serious, and proper fishing can give his teammates more opportunities to perform!
Curry caught the ball with an off-ball cover and made a direct three-point shot.
"Hmm..."Hollow into the net.
"Beautiful three-point shot, it seems that Curry has a good start to this game!" The narrator immediately started blowing.
Li Ze passed the half slowly, and this time the defender in front of him was replaced by a striker, and the other party wanted to step forward when he saw Li Ze, but Li Ze suddenly raised his center of gravity, and then quickly accelerated with his shoulders down, and directly got rid of the defense.
Seeing that the other party still wanted to grab up, he suddenly made an emergency stop and quickly changed direction in front of his body, which directly shook the other party.
"Wow!" In the exclamation of the audience, he calmly made a jump shot at the free throw line.
"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.
This is the effect of the two badges of [Ankle Terminator] + [Hot Zone Hunter], especially when [Hot Zone Hunter] is upgraded to silver, the shooting stability is better, and it can also recover a little energy.
Curry looked at Li Ze's slow retreat, feeling a little sour, Li Ze played point guard and it was arranged by the head coach, which shows that the playing time in the new season must be guaranteed, and then think about yourself, the future is not bright.
Curry, who was in a bad mood, started his own performance, facing Byron's defense in the offense, and changed direction in front of the body continuously, almost shaking Byron, a big man, to the ground, taking advantage of the defender's unstable center of gravity, and directly pulling back to shoot quickly.
The 3-pointer went in again, and the audience immediately cheered Curry.
Li Ze looked at Curry's shot thoughtfully, maybe he could also improve his shooting speed, but this will have to wait until he goes back and studies it with the training team.
Li Ze still passed the half slowly, and then immediately handed over the ball, and immediately smoked in the corner, after all, he had already played two, and it was time to touch the fish.
The assistant coach was a little helpless when he saw this situation, he knew that Li Ze was not motivated to play this game, but he had to let him play, so he had to play the first quarter, otherwise the audience would not do it.
Seeing that there were 8 seconds left in the offensive time, Li Ze immediately quickly asked for a position in the low post, and directly turned over and jumped back after receiving the ball.
"Huh...", the Warriors' players won't be working too hard defensively.
"Let's try to punch in a quarter, there really isn't much to gain from playing a game like this."
Li Ze, who was back on defense, thought silently in his heart.
