Curry does need some time to get used to the starting style of play, which is completely different from the bench.

First of all, the defensive requirements have been raised, no matter what bad team the opponent is, the NBA's starters will not be weak.

Curry defended Chris Dujon in the first quarter, and Baron Davis went to deal with Gallinari.

However, there will inevitably be misalignments in defence, as well as defensive rotation, and opponents will also design misalignment tactics against you.

It's not possible to keep looking at whoever you want, and in the absence of specific protection, the defensive pressure is much greater than playing as a substitute.

Once the defensive pressure increases, the energy in the attack will inevitably be affected.

And playing as a starter, Curry is partnered with Baron Davis, and the ball is out of his hands.

As a sixth man, Curry can take the ball himself and decide how to play.

When you make your debut, you have to run tactics and be tactical pawns.

The Clippers' tactical system is still centered on Randolph and Carman.

The offense of the low post is the foundation of the Clippers' playbook.

Curry plays more of a supporting role in this system.

It is used to open up space, hit three-pointers, and feed the ball.

In the first quarter, Curry was slowly adapting to this change in role.

The Knicks maintained a five-point lead and ended the first quarter.

At 22:27, the Clippers trailed.

"The Knicks did a decent job of defending Carman and Randolph and restricting them from receiving the ball. And our Clippers are not very good at feeding the ball inside, neither Curry nor Barang are good characters for feeding the ball inside. What's more, Thorton can't do pivot point...... In the future, the No. 3 position can't find a guy who can pass the ball and shoot. ”

Min Congda finished reading the first section and gave a very accurate evaluation.

When the Knicks were not strong in the interior defense, they decisively used the front line to defend Randolph and Carman.

Defending around the front, the ability to drop the ball on the outside line is very demanding.

And Barang and Curry happen to be not very good at that.

Curry is of average height and has an assassin-type style of play, so letting him drop the ball inside is not what he is good at.

Barang Davis is used to being unrestrained in the Warriors, how can he practice passing and breaking the front, once the opponent goes around the front, he chooses to hold the ball and rush in.

And the best way to break the front is to have a tower passer on the outside, who can pass and shoot, has a wide field of vision, and will soon become a point of delivery.

For example, last season's Magic's Turkish Scimitar Turkoglou, with him on the opponent, anyone who wants to go around Howard will have to pay a price.

Back then, Rocket Yao Ming was often defended by opponents, but he didn't have a good outside pass high point to break the opponent's defense.

The Knicks' defense in the first quarter was undoubtedly successful, allowing the Clippers' interior advantage to not play out.

Min Congda felt a lot more relieved, and there was hope for the Knicks this time.

"Olchea has always asked me to trade a good No. 3 position, the kind that can pass and shoot, but fortunately I turned him down, but I can't change to a player like that."

"However, in the future draft, small forwards should still be selected, not inside, and Curry must be passed. Just pick the kind, the shooting is not good, the movements are stiff, there is no offensive talent at a glance, stupid and black, and it is best to be expressionless. ”

Min Congda silently perfected the criteria for future drafts for himself in his heart.

Playing 2K10 has set the strategy of taking a small forward, and now it is not only necessary to have a small forward, but also to shoot poorly, and have no offensive talent.

As for why he was expressionless, because Min Congda felt that players who love to laugh will have offensive talent.

I don't know how he came up with this theory, but it really makes some sense.

Attacking players tend to be outgoing, emotional, imaginative, and smiling on and off the field.

The quintessential one is Magic Johnson.

And the defensive gate type player has a dull personality, few words, introverted, and a stiff expression like everyone else owes him millions.

Typical is Big Ben Wallace.

A person's personality can often determine his style of play and style on the court.

And Stephen Curry's personality on the court, like the car he drives, has an unknown wildness.

In the first quarter, Curry's play was mediocre, with 2 points, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.

If I were a normal rookie, I would have thought about how I could fit into the starting system.

I need to change the way I play on the bench, pass more, organise more, respond more, make fewer mistakes, and make more open shots.

If it were Kobe Bryant, most of them would think, other people are too vegetable, it's not my problem, I'd better do it myself.

If you change to James, you may think, these people can't do it, change one, and change it here......

And Curry is Curry, he's not an ordinary rookie, he's not Kobe and James, he has his own ideas.

He won't think that others can't do it, the Clippers' tactics are still very strong, and Randolph and Carman are very strong.

But Curry doesn't think he has to compromise, obediently play a supporting role, and completely suppress his personality.

He is not an extreme person, but pursues a more balanced approach that is good for everyone.

Soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, courting first and then soldiering, Curry's future court-court style has been evident since his rookie days.

"In the second quarter, I will continue to cooperate with Randolph and Barang to play more tactics, but as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely shoot!"

At the break, Curry had already made up his mind to make a shot when it was time to shoot.

Looking back on the first game of the season, Curry was hesitant about some opportunities.

In just over a month, he has become more confident in himself.

This is naturally inseparable from Min Congda's "careful cultivation".

At this time, Min Congda was still eating popcorn, waiting for the second quarter of the game to start.

In the second quarter, after Curry played the starter, the role of sixth man came to Ricky Davis.

In the last game against the Timberwolves, Dunleavy let Ricky start, and Ricky's play was decent.

He was willing to obey Dunleavy's arrangement, starting from defense and going to the bottom corner.

He went from being arrogant and shooting to his own basket in order to brush up on triple-doubles, and slowly transformed into a role player.

The process was undoubtedly difficult and painful, but once it began, a new path emerged.

After coming off the bench, Ricky Davis didn't revert to his previous style of playing with the ball.

The ball was still in the hands of Baron Davis and Maddy Collins, who was still crouching in the bottom corner and concentrating on defending.

His transformation benefited from Min Congda's "wanton indulgence", which allowed him to think calmly about the future path.

During this time, the wine-colored and wealthy quartet went out to wander less and less.

Because Randolph had quit drinking, he told Ricky Davis, "I want to play well." ”

From Randolph's contract extension, Ricky Davis had a feeling, and Min Congda also said, "Don't worry, I won't trade you." ”

Coupled with Dunleavy personally saying that Mr. Smart is going to increase his playing time, what reason does he have not to play well?

Curry, 21, is a fledgling who vows to break new ground.

Ricky Davis, 31, is old enough to change his past and play well.

Min Congda, eating popcorn, didn't know anything, thought he was rotten, and he was very happy.
