Chapter 58: I am a very strict person

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33-22, and the Lakers easily led the Clippers by 11 points.

As Min Congda thought, the Clippers' defense in the backcourt could not contain Kobe Bryant at all, and Kobe Bryant pulled the score away with a slight effort.

And Barang Davis lost his way under the Lakers' pocket defense, and he made one of four shots in the first quarter and didn't make anything but one throw.

Min Congda was eating the popcorn that Ida bought, and at the same time silently pointed out the country in his heart:

"Our Clippers lineup, if we want to fight with the Lakers, we can only make a fuss about the two positions of point guard and power forward. The Lakers' No. 2 bald defense is a shortcoming and slow to move. Power forward Gasol doesn't play, Odom's height is a disadvantage, and defense is a problem. So it's mostly up to Davis and Randolph. ”

"But Balang's state is really not good, this kid is very fierce in the nightclub, why is his leg weak when he gets on the field? Rotten tofu...... If he plays well, it won't be a good thing for the Clippers, this guy is a cancer, and I don't know if Dunleavy will put him as a starter or not. ”

In fact, Randolph played well in the first quarter, shooting 3 of 4 on the offensive end, which was the most consistent scoring point for the Clippers.

It's just that Min Congda still trusts Randolph's cancerous attributes, that is, he beat up a racist that night, otherwise he might still be in prison now.

On the Clippers' bench, Dunleavy made lineup changes, replacing Randolph and Davis with Marcus Camby and Stephen Curry.

"Stephen, it's time for you to play, play a little bit kid." Dunlevy specifically instructed Curry.

No matter what the outside world says about him, no matter what everyone thinks of him, Curry is the top pick this year after all.

He received a lot of attention, and when he took off his jacket and was ready to play, many fans got up and took out their phones to take pictures.

The TV commentary also said: "Oh, the Clippers have replaced this year's controversial No. 1 pick Stephen Curry, who is as controversial as choosing his general manager Smart Min, let's see what kind of performance his debut will be." ”

In fact, most people don't have too high expectations for Curry's debut, because even Michael Jordan, the all-time No. 1 supergiant, played 40 minutes in the first game, and only scored 16 points on 6-of-15 inefficient.

Kobe Bryant, who came off the bench in the first game of his career, didn't score a point, took 1 rebound, 1 block, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 4 1s.

Curry's family came to the sidelines to watch the game, and his old father, Dale Curry, was wearing the Clippers' No. 30 jersey and was extremely nervous.

The son played the Lakers in the first game of the new season, against Kobe, hoping that Kobe Bryant would not die too ugly, Kobe Bryant likes to compete with young people with his careful eyes, and Curry looks baby-faced, but he actually has a terrible personality.

"Don't compete with Ke." Dell Curry prayed silently in his heart.

When Curry came on the court, Kobe Bryant was resting off the court, and Kobe Bryant shouted directly at Curry: "Stay on the court for a while longer, boy, I'll be on the court right away!" You must stay a little longer, don't lie down! ”

Not to be outdone, Curry shot back: "You sit down there for a short time, the coach will let you come back later!" ”

Curry doesn't like to talk trash, but that doesn't mean he won't respond verbally, especially Kobe Bryant, who is strong when he is strong, which is his characteristic.

At this time, the Lakers' point guard was also replaced from the old fish Fisher to Jordan Farmar, an impulsive guard.

Aside from Kobe, the Lakers' guard line is really not good, Fisher, Farmar, Vujacic, Shannon Brown, it can be said that the old is old, the small is small, the short is short, the soft is soft, and each weakness is very obvious.

There is no player who can stand alone and prop up the backcourt when Kobe Bryant is off the court.

This side reflects Kobe's strength, since he grew up, the Lakers have not invested heavily in the backcourt, and they are all small repairs.

In the summer of '07, when Kobe Bryant was clamoring to leave, the Lakers' biggest addition to the backcourt in the free market was to sign back the old fish Fisher, and it is no wonder that Kobe Bryant wanted to leave.

Because Kobe Bryant alone can support the Lakers at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the Lakers can take more resources to pile up the frontcourt, change to Gasol, sign Artest, and the Lakers' biggest move in the past two years is to expand the frontcourt forward.

In the second quarter, the Clippers started the offense, Curry touched the ball for the first time and controlled the ball steadily through the half.

Min Congda watched Curry take the ball, and shouted in his heart: "Go and throw a three-pointer, throw a three-pointer, don't care so much, you just throw it!" Unleash your nature and ego and start beating Stephen! ”

Min Congda is bent on Curry playing blindly and disrupting the team's tactical system, so that the Clippers' performance on the court will only get worse and worse.

But Curry didn't get Min's wish, he passed the ball to Marcus Camby in the high post, then cut to the basket to take away the defense, ran to the left side with the help of the screen, and Camby passed the ball to Curry, who had already thrown a little distance from Farmar.

After receiving the ball, Curry directly shot a 45-degree mid-range jumper!

A crisp jump shot with a two-point hit!

Curry quickly scored his first point after entering the NBA!

"Stephen Curry, after receiving the ball, hit the mid-range shot, this shot is beautiful, excellent running, excellent catch, Curry scored the first point after entering the NBA!"

ESPN's NBA chief commentator Mike Brin praised Curry's career first point so quickly that he scored easily.

Min Congda's brows furrowed when he saw the ball, "What is the Lakers' backcourt defense for?" This No. 1 defense has no pressure at all, and a cover is lost? Also, Why don't the Lakers rotate? Camby is no offensive threat in the high post, so what's the point of staring at him? Let him go, go and keep an eye on Curry, stupid! ”

Min Congda vaguely felt that there was a problem with the Lakers' backcourt defense, especially in Kobe's absence, so don't let Curry shoot casually.

This kid can't do anything else, he has a hand in shooting, and it's really a bit dangerous to let him shoot.

Subsequently, the Lakers' offense went wrong, and the ball spun around and went to Mbenga's hand.

Seeing that the offensive time is coming, Mbenga can only shoot by himself, where will he do this.

The mid-range shot missed, the Clippers won the backcourt rebound, the ball was given to Curry, and Curry quickly pushed and counterattacked.

After Curry came on the court, the Clippers' offensive style changed, and it suddenly became faster.

Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Camby came over and did a pick-and-roll screen, and Curry drilled inside.

The Lakers immediately shrank their defense, and Curry found a gap to pass to Ricky Davis in the corner, and Davis made a three-point shot from a zero-degree angle on the right side.

The Lakers, who shrank the line, didn't notice Davis in the bottom corner, unguarded, and had a big open space.

Three-point hit!

After Curry came on the court, he led the Clippers to chase 5 points in a row!

Phil Jackson sensed something was wrong and didn't call a timeout for the entire first quarter, and he easily didn't call a timeout, and immediately called a short timeout.

When Curry is on the floor, the Clippers play very differently.

For Curry, everyone is not very familiar with it, and it needs to be adjusted.

After more than a minute and two rounds, the Lakers were stopped.

Curry's performance made David Stern's eyes light up, and he leaned sideways to say something to Min Congda, but saw Min Congda's brows furrowed and his unhappy look.

Just now Curry scored the first goal of his career, Min Congda didn't react, and he didn't get up to celebrate.

Sternch said: "Smart, why is you so serious, did Curry just perform badly?" ”

Min Congda was worried about the Lakers' backline, and when he heard Stern's words, he came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "I... That's just two balls...... The game is still long, and I've always been a very strict person, especially with Curry. ”
