Chapter 37: A Special Way to Dribble

Min Congda sat in the empty locker room, and could only learn about the progress of the game through text messages on his mobile phone, and Ida kept distributing the game situation and real-time comparison on the spot.

"Curry hit a three-pointer on a fast-break counterattack! We're only four points behind! 51:55! ”

"Griffin fouled offensively, he knocked down Medley, we had the ball, the opportunity came."

Curry hit another three-pointer from the outside! This time it's a three-point after the screen, 54:55, only 1 point short! ”

The situation in the second half changed quickly, and Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers to narrow the gap between the two sides to one point.

Min Congda found that it was good to watch the text live broadcast with SMS on his mobile phone, and he would not be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and relatively speaking, there would not be so much mood swing.

He thinks that as the general manager who expects the Clippers to go bankrupt, it would be better not to invest too much emotion in the players and the team, and if he starts to want the team to win, it will be bad.

"Today, I made an exception, I have an income of 2,000 yuan, so I don't care about the 200 yuan. And Griffin is too bullying, we should teach them a good lesson! ”

"Curry, this stinky boy, the three-point shot is quite accurate. What the hell the Grizzlies are defending, and why doesn't Griffin score? Does Kim Hughes know to use Medley to defend Griffin? ”

Min Congda looked at the short message on his mobile phone, got up and paced in the locker room, and the difference between the two sides became smaller and smaller.

54:55, one point behind.

But then, the Grizzlies' Marcus Williams broke through the basket and drew a foul on Jordan Jr. and hit both free throws from the free throw line.

At 54:57, the Grizzlies returned to a relatively safe margin advantage.

On the court, Curry has not been very successful in defending Marcus Williams, who is 191 tall like Curry, but he is significantly stronger than Curry.

The 22nd player selected in the first round in 2006 is still very strong, but he has some problems with his personality, too arrogant and arrogant. He was the team leader in college, the famous University of Connecticut, and he was a little unconvinced when he came to the Nets as Kidd's younger brother.

The Nets used to focus on developing him, but after two seasons without significant improvement, they were cut. So a former Californian talented guard had to mix in the summer league in order to get a chance to get a short contract.

The NBA is so cruel, in the eyes of many people, if Stephen Curry can't play, he will end up with the opposite Marcus Williams.

The man who is Jordan in his own story is probably nothing when he comes to the NBA.

Curry was then stealed by Marcus Williams on offense, he used a tough physical confrontation to cut off Curry's ball, and he wanted to go straight to the basket to make a layup, but he didn't expect Curry to chase after him and poke the ball out of Williams' hand from behind!

The ball went out of bounds, and it was still the Grizzlies' possession. Curry came close to entangle Marcus Williams, who was more aggressive and tough defensively than he was in the first half, and was not afraid of Williams, who was stronger than himself.

Curry's body may lack confrontation, but he is not afraid of confrontation, he does have limited talent on the defensive end, but there is no problem with the defensive attitude, and he wants to make Williams' scoring not so easy.

At this point, Griffin hadn't played for a long time in the second half, and after serving from the baseline, he stuck his back to Medley and asked Williams for the ball, and Williams made a hanging pass to Griffin in the low post.

Griffin received the ball and was about to dribble and sit inside, but Medley came to a stool, and Griffin stumbled and fell to the ground, and the ball in his hand also fell ......

Medley was quick-eyed, bent down to pick up the ball, and immediately threw it to Curry, who took the ball and advanced quickly...... Curry is not the kind of lightning-fast guard, but his man-ball combination is very strong, and the dribble is completely undisturbed by the defense, and he can accelerate forward, which shows that his dribbling fundamentals are extremely solid.

Unlike some second- and third-rate guards, how good and beautiful it is to dribble without confrontation, full of tricks, once on the confrontation, the original form is revealed, and it is difficult to stumble through the half court, let alone hold the ball like this and advance quickly, while passing the half court while looking up at his teammates, there is no need to look down at the ball.

At the same time, Curry also has a characteristic when he dribbles too much, that is, his center of gravity is relatively high, his back is not completely bent, and the point of his hand to shoot the ball is above the knee to reach the waist.

This is completely different from many small guards who dribble well, and those small guards tend to press the center of gravity very low and the shooting point is also very low in order to break through better and faster, and the ball is not over the waistline, or even below the knee, which makes them fly as fast as lightning and close to the ground.

And the reason why Curry has a high center of gravity and a high shooting point is not because his dribbling skills are not good, nor is it bad habits, but for better emergency stop jump shots!

This is a dribble-shooting action that his father, Dell Curry, designed for him when he was very young, in order to give his son superior dribbling and emergency stop shooting ability!

Curry dribbled across the halfline and watched his teammates, who had no good chances, while Marcus Williams was running towards the three-point line to prevent Curry from breaking through.

But Curry didn't break through at all, but suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, and then shot quickly!

Lightning-fast movements, dribbling, pausing, shooting, a whole set of movements is smooth and silky, without any extra parts, the ball flies straight to the basket, and naturally there is no stagnation, directly passing through the center of the net, and it doesn't even touch the basket.

It was Curry's third three-pointer in the third quarter, and the Clippers tied the Grizzlies at 57:57!

Most of the crowd in the University of Nevada Coliseum was dumbfounded, many of whom had come to support Griffin, but Curry's performance in the second half was conquering the crowd.

"Hey, that kid is really accurate in his three-point shot, and he shoots so fast."

"yes, I think the three-point shot looks pretty too, doesn't it? It's not just a slam dunk that's exciting. ”

"I think so too, he really dares to shoot, has anyone shot three points like this before?"

"It doesn't seem like there's a ......"

The fans in the stadium began to communicate with each other, and Curry's performance was refreshing.

Although he still looks so weak and can't help the wind, wearing a wide jersey like a high school student, no one dares to ignore his energy anymore.

In contrast, Griffin's performance in the second half was bad enough that Medley's gummy defense made him miserable, and finally he couldn't resist pushing Medley in the offense, and almost received a second technical foul and was sent off.

The Clippers gradually turned the tide on the court.

Min Congda kept receiving messages from Ida in the locker room:

"Curry drove to the basket, made a layup, and caused a foul, Griffin, and one!"

"Curry receives a pass from Gordon, hits a mid-range jumper, feints, pretty, 77:67!"

"Curry's offense! didn't go in, dunk and dunked off...... At 85:74, we had an 11-point lead. ”

Min Congda watched the Clippers gradually turn the score over, Curry scored more and more, and his mood became complicated again.

He sent a text message to Ada, "Ada, stop watching the game, send me back to the hotel." ”

"Don't you see it? Curry has already scored 25 points, and he's been really good. ”

"Let them celebrate when they win, I don't want to disturb them, send me back."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

The Clippers won this game, Curry was angry, and Min Congda also felt angry, and then what?

Is it possible to watch Curry play a worthy value and make the Clippers better and better?

Never! Hurry back and think of a way to make Curry's growth a little difficult.
