Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Game Is Not Over Yet
A short break at half-time ended, and the second half of the game continued between the two sides.
Kim Hughes didn't make a lot of adjustments at halftime, and in the summer league, he adjusted the yarn and handed over the control of the game to the players, so that they could show their talent and talent to the fullest.
Curry returned to the playing field, and the Hornets' Darren Collison had already come up, like a piece of boogers stuck to his fingertips that couldn't be shaken off and couldn't be shaken off, just to disgust Curry.
"The champion show in the first place is nothing more than that."
Collison showed a trace of contempt for Curry in his heart, he was selected with the 21st pick, but Curry can pick up the top pick? Collison was absolutely unconvinced.
It's very normal on the basketball court, young people, not competitive, arrogant, still young people?
"I bet you won't score a double tonight, I won't let you score, don't even think about it."
Collison challenged Curry, and his performance on the defensive end in the first half gave him enough confidence to just play against Curry.
The Clippers don't have good strategies and covers, as long as they play enough against Curry, his shooting and dribbling will be deformed, and he can't play at a real level.
Insisting on consuming him in the second half and losing confidence in this champion show, Collison can win tonight's matchup.
It doesn't matter if the team wins or loses, it's important to have an advantage in the conversation with the champion.
In the face of Collisson's provocation, Curry did not move on his lips, he did not like to talk trash and did not like to respond to opponents with his mouth, but preferred to use actions.
The referee's whistle blew, the backcourt served, Curry received the ball, controlled the ball over half court, and before he crossed the halfway line, Collison came to the confrontation and kept using physical contact to interfere with Curry.
Curry used his skillful dribbling and speed to get rid of Collison and get to near the three-point line, where Collison continued to wrap up from behind, uncomfortable.
Curry beckoned to the inside and motioned for Jordan Jr. to come over as a cover, and Jordan Jr. slowly ran out to block Curry.
In the first half, Curry also tried to let Xiao Danzi cover, but the effect was not good, Little Jordan's cover was loose, and he wanted to eat cake before he could block the porcelain.
Collison is short and flexible, active defensively, and can easily squeeze through every time, which is equivalent to not giving cover.
"Cover up, is it useful? Don't waste your efforts! ”
"Do you dare to rely on your teammates to help?"
Collison yelled at Curry, mentally putting pressure on Curry.
Just when Collison was about to squeeze sideways and ignore Jordan Jr.'s cover, Curry suddenly started before Jordan Jr. was in place!
He dribbled the ball under his crotch, changed direction and went to the left, without using Jordan Jr.'s cover at all, and directly passed Collison!
Collison on the side didn't have time to turn around, the left side leaked cleanly, Curry rushed straight to the basket, the Hornets center came to make up for the defense, and Curry made a high throw pass to Jordan Jr. who kept up.
Little Jordan is lazy and lazy in covering, eating cakes is not ambiguous, jumping high, relaying in the air, and winning with one hand!
Curry played a brilliant game, using a fake cover to get rid of Collison defense, tear apart the Hornets' defense, and assist his teammates to score.
The players off the court all screamed and cheered when they saw the ball, and King Hughes also applauded and shouted: "Beautiful fit!" Go back to defense, defense! ”
The Clippers retreated quickly, and Curry's defense was constrained by his lack of talent and toughness, but his attitude was absolutely fine, and the defense was very aggressive.
Collison wanted to find one from Curry, but he rushed to the basket and knocked down Curry when he pushed the counterattack, and was blown an offensive foul by the referee and hit someone with the ball!
The Clippers gained the offensive power, served in the backcourt, and Curry once again faced Collison's defense, and now Collison didn't dare to press anymore, focusing on Curry's footsteps and gestures.
Curry called for blocking again, and Jordan Jr. was a little more positive this time, but his blocking was still not solid, and he pulled his hips very much, and Collison drilled through it with a drill and continued to stick to Curry.
But Curry dribbled, pulled back, dribbled behind his back with his right hand to his left hand, went to the left, and used Jordan Jr.'s body to block again!
Collison couldn't turn around again, wanting to squeeze through the solid block by Jordan Jr., Curry faced the center of the Hornets at the top of the arc, a fake action of worshipping Buddha easily passed, straight to the basket, the Hornets also came to help defend, Curry passed straight to Gordon on the wing, Gordon was unguarded, and the empty three-point shot hit!
Curry could go straight to the ball, but he still chose to share the ball with his teammates.
With two assists, the Clippers scored 5 points in a row, and the team tied the score less than a minute before the start of the third quarter!
Curry, who adjusted his mindset and found the organizational tricks, was really efficient!
Kim Hughes nodded again and again, and said in his heart: "Curry adjusted very well in the second half, did not go up and Collison to be hard, but flexibly used cover to get rid of the defense, and at the same time assisted his teammates, disrupting the Hornets' defense, which is very good, and the mentality and skills are very good." ”
Kim Hughes admired Curry's performance, sat back in the coach's seat, turned his head and glanced at Min Congda who was sitting in the audience, but found that Min Congda frowned, and there was no happy expression on his face!
"This Smart is really strange, he was still smiling when he was behind in the first half, why did he have a serious face when the score was equalized?"
Ida, who was sitting next to Min Congda, had a similar question, and the general manager was not nervous at all when the Clippers fell behind in the first half, and comforted the players to relax.
In the second half, the Clippers got up, but the general manager was worried, you see, they all overtook him, Gordon broke through and scored a layup, 55:53, and the Clippers took the lead.
But Mr. Smart's brow furrowed even tighter and deeper, wasn't the general manager satisfied with the young man's performance?
Ida didn't dare to ask, in her heart, the general manager was an unfathomable and unpredictable person, and he must have something special in mind.
Five minutes later, Curry hit a long-range three-pointer from the outside! The Clippers are 65:56 ahead of the Hornets by 9 points! The Hornets called a timeout to adjust, Min Congda shook his head and sighed, what kind of bird is this Wasp fighting!
What about Collison's defense? After being deceived a few times, I began to hesitate, I didn't dare to stick it, I didn't dare to put it on, you looked left and right, and you picked cotton? What else is played?
There is also the inner line of the wasp, one complements the defense and misses the person, and the other complements the defense, what defense do you have if you don't have that ability? It's leaking into a sieve.
Don't look at Min Congda used to be a ball blind, this guy's basketball talent is really high, only watched one and a half games, he has already touched the joints and tricks of basketball, and saw the Hornets' problems on the defensive end, leaking people as soon as they make up the defense, poor rotation, and Collison's defense of Curry failed, which caused Curry to revitalize the team's offense.
It's just that this ass is not right, the Clippers are getting better and better, and he is in a hurry! Sitting on the sidelines and sighing, this wasp is too uncompetitive!
Ida finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Smart, are you uncomfortable?" Did you not eat enough at noon? ”
Min Congda shook his head and said, "No, I didn't play well enough, I saw a headache...... What a defense. ”
Aidaki said, "But... But we're already overtake, nine points ahead. ”
Min Congda hurriedly reacted, snorted, and said perfunctorily: "That... Don't just look at the present, the game is not over yet, look back, look back. ”
