Chapter 127: Let's Wait and See (Fifth Update)
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy was directly replaced by Curry.
Meanwhile, Baran Davis sat on the bench with a clear meaning.
Stephen Curry, the position of the team's main control in the fourth quarter is up to you.
Let's play!
Before Curry, he had to look at Baron Davis' "face" to play.
He used an easy 20-point performance in the first three quarters to prove that he can single-handedly pick up the team's offensive pillars.
Min Congda just saw Curry appear, and he still had a fantasy in his heart:
"Stephen, you scored 20 points before you were just lucky, right? Okay, the fourth quarter begins, you get back to your original form, you little weak chicken......"
But how did he know that Curry was holding back his strength to show Min Congda!
In the third quarter, his wonderful performance was not seen by Mr. Smart, and in the fourth quarter, he did not let you take a good look.
You made the right decision at the draft!
For Min Congda, this is tantamount to a public execution.
As soon as Curry got the ball in the fourth quarter, all he had in his eyes was the basket.
However, he didn't do it himself, but beckoned little Jordan to come over and block it for him.
Use the rhythm to get to the basket, shake off the defender, dodge Jeffries' block, and make a layup!
Curry wasn't very fast, but the pace of the breakout was just right, and it was full of variety.
If you stick, I'll rush, if you take a step and want to step on the point to cover me, I'll throw, if I hit me, I'll pass.
The Knicks are in chaos, Gallinari misses three-pointers from the outside, and has a long rebound!
Curry gets it, holds the ball and passes half court again, observes, slows down, calls for cover, blocks and dismantles and then goes inside.
Attract the Knicks' defense, slip to the other side, suddenly turn back to the horse to shoot the basket, and get a rebound!
The Knicks defended in this three-second zone, and Min Congda, who watched it, slapped his thigh.
"Wo Ri, Knicks, are you a BJ suburb in the late Ming Dynasty, Tartars can come and go as much as they want, you have to stand up! Stand up! ”
Although Curry shoots accurately, he doesn't blindly force shots.
Baldness must be combined, so that the opponent cannot feel the pattern and cannot find the pulse.
In order to play the opponent between the palms, let yourself come and go freely, and score like hemp.
The Knicks' offense is David Lee.
He came on early again in the fourth quarter to support the Knicks' offense.
Take the ball at the top of the arc, break through the basket after a fake screen, and hit the board with a right-handed throw.
This kind of taking two points by personal ability is really hard.
It was the Clippers' turn to attack, and at 84:72, the Clippers held a 12-point lead.
When Curry got the ball, it was obvious that the Knicks players were a little nervous.
D'Antoni was also nervous on the sidelines, shouting: "Stare, stare!" Inside, don't give a chance to break through! ”
Curry watched the situation on the court, and the Knicks' defense seemed to him to be full of holes.
Dujon's defense lacked pressure and didn't put enough pressure on him for Curry to think.
With his crotch dribbling to adjust the rhythm, Curry still chose to break through with his left hand, and his thin body made his breakthrough look like it didn't have any impact.
But he was flexible and agile, and he still drilled into the Knicks' three-second zone, and the Knicks shrank four people to defend him!
Is this Curry? This is O'Neill.
But Curry is not O'Neal, and he can't dunk the ball to the basket with four guys.
So he'll choose to pass the ball to Ricky Davis, who has been waiting for the corner for a long time.
Davis catches the ball and hits a three-point shot!
Another three-pointer from Ricky Davis!
Ricky barely attacked with the ball tonight.
He's on the pitch defending, moving the ball and waiting for his chance in the corner.
Unless the Clippers didn't play the game, he would only hit one when the ball was in his hands.
At 87:72, the margin stretched to 15 points.
Truth be told, the Clippers' defense wasn't great.
But tonight, the Knicks' offense was really stretched.
If the Knicks want to chase points in the fourth quarter, the key is to be able to prevent it.
It doesn't work if you go in on your own.
From the outside, David Lee hit another mid-range.
At 87:74, David Lee has scored 26 points tonight.
It wasn't bad in terms of scoring and limited Randolph well.
But tonight belongs to Stephen Curry.
As soon as Curry got the ball, the Knicks panicked again.
Min Congda also panicked.
"How else to get in? You don't want to shoot three points, do you...... Ay! ”
Min Congda just thought about it, Curry faced Du Hong on the outside, and saw that the other party did not post it.
is scared of being broken through, so he makes a quick shot with a three-point shot directly at the top of the arc!
The ball is like a meteor, piercing the clouds and shooting the moon, and it is in the heart of the basket!
After the goal, Curry also yelled at Min Congda and hammered his chest.
"What are you yelling at so loudly~ I can't see that you want to score?"
Min Congda's eyes were filled with tears, whether he was excited, moved or sad, no one knew.
At 90:74, the difference came to 16 points!
D'Antoni couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
And the Knicks fans at the scene couldn't sit still.
They cheered loudly, shouting "Stephen! Stephen! Stephen! ”
Obviously, Curry's performance turned New York fans against him!
Knicks fans have not had much loyalty in recent years.
Your own team is too bad, so it's better to support the away team and the stars.
Whoever performs well enough will be cheered on by Knicks fans in a fair and just way.
Last year, Bryant scored 61 points at Madison Square Garden, breaking Bernard King's record.
The crowd chanted MVP.
Just two days later, the Cleveland Cavaliers visited Maddison.
LeBron James greeted Kobe Bryant with a 50-point scoring extravaganza.
The Knicks' players really don't know who they're messing with.
The two of you have to compete, won't it be over when the Lakers play the Cavaliers?
What's the deal with me being angry? How do I get a bonus in points?
Although Curry didn't have a scoring tonight like those two big guys.
But his stunning performance tonight was proof enough that he is a rising star.
In the future, he will also play his own masterpiece in this basketball mecca.
Curry hit the three-pointer and then made two free throws to bring his game's total to 30 points.
It was his first 30 points of the season, the 25th game of his career, and 30+ points unlocked!
When Curry was substituted for the break, the audience applauded and cheered him on.
30 points at Maddison isn't much of an achievement, but if it's the top pick, it's Stephen Curry.
It's not the same for New Yorkers, it's their white moonshine.
And this white moonlight is now Min Congda's rice grains.
However, Min Congda still got up and went to the bench to congratulate Curry and shook hands with him and hugged him.
Curry was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he felt that he had lived up to Smart's expectations!
And Min Congda's mentality is much better now, and his acting skills have also improved.
No matter how unhappy I am, I have to accept the current reality.
"The days ahead are still long, let's see!"
Min Congda, who has to be strong all his life, will never be convinced! Never surrender!
