Over the weekend, Curry settled down in Los Angeles, where he picked an ordinary house in San Gabriel in the northeastern part of the Middle East and bought it directly with his girlfriend Ayesha.

It's a middle-class neighborhood in Los Angeles, and the benefits of living there are quiet, safe, and easy for your girlfriend to work.

The disadvantage is that it is far away from the training center, and it takes more than 40 minutes to drive.

But he didn't want to live in Inglewood, where gangs were rampant and it wasn't safe enough.

A little further drive can't stop his passion for basketball, and he can't wait to prove himself with the team.

Public opinion during this period of time was so unfriendly to him, and the media was full of doubts about Curry's election as the top pick, believing that he was not qualified to overtake Griffin to become the first pick.

Los Angeles Times: "The Los Angeles Clippers missed out on the next Karl Malone and selected a weak outside shooter that would be another major mistake in their draft history." ”

Los Angeles Weekly: "There has been a surprising mess within the Clippers, whose treachery has not only hurt the team's credibility, but also ruined the team's record and box office for the next decade. ”

ESPN's official website commentaries: "... Curry is a guard to look forward to, he has excellent outside shooting ability, but he can't handle the heavy lifting that a first-round pick should do, it's too tough and heavy for him, and this trouble may be ...... throughout his career."

Of all the various media outlets in Los Angeles, only the Los Angeles World Journal had some good things to say, thinking that this unexpected choice might bring unexpected changes to the Clippers.

Of course, one of the reasons why the World Journal said good things may be because it is a Chinese newspaper, and the news that the Chinese are the general manager of the Clippers makes them a little excited, so they naturally want to say good things.

Ayesha has tried to put away all kinds of newspapers in the past two days and not let Curry watch sports news, just to relieve this pressure.

But today, with the development of online information, it is impossible for Curry, as an adult, to be ignorant of this.

On Davidson's personal website, he even received insulting text messages from some fans, bluntly saying that Curry is not worthy of being the top pick at all, and that one day he will become a parallel top pick.

Curry is under a lot of pressure in the face of these tidal waves of negative voices.

But he didn't back down, but turned these pressures and doubts into motivation for him to move forward on the court.

He printed several copies of the draft comments he had given him on the draft website, pasted them on the walls of his bedroom, in the toilets, and on the lockers in the training gym and the Staples Center.

"Stephen Curry, 1.91 meters tall and weighs 83.9 kilograms. His physical fitness is below the NBA average, his ball-handling skills need to be improved, his finishing ability under the basket is weak, and because of his strength, he will play very hard against tough opponents; Accurate shooting, high ball quotient, and calm at critical moments. It's hard to get to a high level, and don't expect Curry to control the team's offense. ”

These comments will continue to motivate him to improve himself in the future.

The team was going to start training camp on Monday afternoon, and he drove in the morning to start training early.

When he saw Min Congda, Curry was happy for a while, for this manager who picked himself with the first pick, Curry not only complained about him, but felt that this person was discerning.

If you treat it as a countryman, I will repay it as a countryman!

Curry has long been secretly determined that he must repay Min Congda's favor with excellent performance in the future.

"Hey, Smart! Try the baskets here! ”

Curry greeted Min Congda and threw the ball in his hand at him as he spoke.

This startled Min Congda, barely caught the ball, and felt that his hands hurt a little.

"It's so powerful."

Min Congda holds a basketball in his hand, and the last time he touched it was back in a distant elementary school.

At that time, the school gave each child a basketball, but it was not to encourage everyone to play basketball, but to do basketball exercises!

It is unimaginable that basketball is not for playing and playing, but for holding and exercising, which is domestic physical education.

Holding the ball and slapping it twice on the floor, Min Congda's shooting skills are very amateurish at first glance.

Curry laughed, "Smart, don't you know how to play basketball?" ”

Min Congda threw the ball back to Curry and said, "I'm watching the ball, I don't need to know how to play!" ”

In fact, Min Congda hasn't watched much football, and the only game he has watched is Xiangbei vs. Lingnan.

That was when he was in elementary school, and after that, basketball had no fate with him, and I don't know how the system found him.

Curry took the ball, made a couple of fluid crotch dribbles from beyond the three-point line, and then made a quick three-point shot.

The ball made a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell into the net with a "swish", light and smooth.

Min Congda looked at his movements, chic and natural, and the shot was very far, one step away from the three-point line.

Can this be thrown? Sure enough, he is a professional player, and five million dollars a year is not taken for nothing.

Then, Curry ran over to get the ball, dribbled out of the three-point line, and shot again in another place.

Smooth shot, nice arc, and then hit!

hit several in a row, and Min Congda was stunned.

He asked Ida with some concern: "Ada, are the NBA players shooting so accurately?" ”

"They're all accurate, almost every shot when no one is defending, they're the best basketball players in the world," Ida said. ”

Min Congda sighed, he was relieved when he said this, everyone is allowed, then Curry is nothing big like this.

In fact, Ida also wants to say that although everyone is very accurate in a relaxed state, it seems that he has never seen it in training if he shoots as easily and naturally as Curry and can shoot so far away.

But Ida thought to herself, how could Mr. Smart not know about such a thing?

He just asked casually to examine his basketball knowledge.

After Curry finished warming up, he said to Min Congda: "Hey Smart, let's shoot a few?" ”

As he spoke, he threw the ball to Min Congda again, and Min Congda was prepared this time, and the ball was very stable.

He saw that Curry was shooting with ease, and he thought to himself, just try it, throw the ball into that little iron basket, what's so difficult?

So, he followed Curry's example, held the ball up from his chest, and threw it with one hand over his head.

The place where Min Congda stood was not very far from the basket, and the ball drew an unbeautiful arc in the air, smashed on the basket, and turned around...... I actually fell into it!

Ha, it's pretty simple, it's really not that hard.

Curry applauded, picked up the ball and threw it to Min.

"Farther away, vote for another one!"

Min Congda stood a little farther away, caught the ball, adjusted it, and threw it with more force in the same position!

This time the posture was a bit ugly, but the ball bounced on the basket and fell in again!

"Yes, yes, do you want to try a three-point shot?"

Curry encouraged Min to try his hand at three-point shooting.

The three-point line in the NBA is very far, and if ordinary people don't have training, or don't play often, they probably won't even be able to touch the basket when they shoot three-pointers.

Min Congda stood outside the three-point line, looked at the basket more than seven meters away, and swallowed his saliva, this distance is really far, how did Curry throw the ball in so easily?

Adjusting his breathing, Min Congda mobilized the strength of his whole body and pushed the ball in his hand towards the basket!

The ball made a straight arc, smashed on the rebound with a "bang", and then bounced into the basket!

Three shots and three hits!

"Wow! Mr. Smart, it seems that you are very powerful, amazing! ”

Min Congda rubbed his arm and smiled, it turns out that basketball is quite simple.

He tapped Curry on the shoulder and said, "This is my first time playing basketball, it doesn't seem to be difficult, you have to work hard." ”

Curry was surprised when he heard that Min Congda was playing for the first time.

"Are you really playing for the first time?"

"yes, I didn't have a chance to play before."

"Then you must have a lot of talent, and if you practice well, you might be a good basketball player."

Min Congda sighed, he knew that he could earn millions of dollars by playing, and he might have tried to play in the first place.

A deep voice came from the other corner of the court, "The accuracy is not bad, but the shooting posture needs to be improved!" And your strength, it's problematic, Mr. Smart. ”

An old man in a white coaching shirt walked up to the two, and it was none other than Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy.

He was followed by members of the Clippers' coaching staff, as well as a steady stream of young Clippers players.

The Clippers' first group workout of the new season is about to begin.
