Chapter 140: This Son Must Not Be Left Behind (Part 3)
Dunleavy saw the note, and then looked at Min Congda who was sitting on the sidelines, and he understood the meaning in his heart.
"It's a good opportunity to develop Curry, so let him try it with the ball, right? Anyway, if you really lose, then don't blame me, it's the general manager who made me do that. ”
Dunleavy is now a head coach without any psychological pressure and may have had the busiest year of his coaching career.
As a result, the results are not bad, much better than some of the seasons of bitterness.
Since Min Congda is bent on cultivating Curry, it is better to listen to him.
Even the boss Sterling listened to Min Congda, so why shouldn't he listen?
The score on the court has become 92:105, and the Lakers lead by 13 points.
There are still more than 4 minutes left until the end of the game.
Dunleavy called a short timeout, and the Clippers players were a little confused.
The person who just paused, just changed, why is it suspended again?
Dunleavy beckoned the players to the sidelines and said, "Barang, give the ball to Curry later." Curry, you control the ball and organize the team's offense. That's what Mr. Smart meant. ”
Dunleavy did not forget to emphasize the repulsion in the end.
It was the general manager who let Curry take control, not me.
Baron Davis: If you have any opinions, you go to the general manager, don't come to me.
If you don't think Curry can move, don't come to me, Smart wants to train you.
But Dunleavy didn't expect that neither of them had any opinion on this.
After a period of cooperation, Baron Davis has recognized Curry's ability.
When the two are on the court together, Davis will give the ball to Curry to play from time to time.
He also often passes the ball to Curry and plays some coordination.
Curry won't have a problem anymore, and his confidence on the offensive end is building up.
After playing half a season, he found that some players in the NBA were no more than that.
It's not much more difficult to play against them on the field than it was in college.
After all, when he was in college, his teammates were poor, and he was under more pressure.
On the Clippers, he had a number of teammates to help with the responsibilities.
The 20-second timeout ended quickly and the two sides returned to the court.
Thorton takes the throw-in, and Curry runs to the halfway line to catch it.
When Curry has the ball, Fisher can't play it easily.
Players with the ball will be protected, and casual confrontations will be whistled for fouls.
At this time, Gasol Jr. cooperated very well to come out to block Curry.
Although he has not practiced with the team many times, Gasol Jr.'s tactical awareness is there.
When he heard the coach say that Curry should be in charge, he knew that he would definitely have to cover for Curry.
Gasol Jr. was thicker than his older brother, and a very solid block blocked Fisher completely.
Curry made a quick three-point shot at the top of the arc, Bynum couldn't defend it at all, and then watched the ball pass through the basket and hit!
There is no need to run endlessly, there is no need to go to the bottom line to slip around in the corner, and there is no need to endure the confrontation again and again in the process of running.
A simple pick-and-roll fit at the top of the high arc, three points to hand.
This is just the beginning.
The Lakers seem to have been affected by the continuous timeouts just now, and their form has dropped a lot all of a sudden.
Gasol's basket that received the ball and turned around was blocked by his younger brother Xiaojia's defensive supply!
The younger brother couldn't be clearer about his brother's playing habits.
The block was successful, Randolph got the ball, and immediately gave it to Curry.
Curry holds the ball and pushes the counterattack, and Curry, who has the ball in his hand, is completely different from him without the ball.
Curry without the ball is erratic, and Curry with the ball is gravitational.
At a young age, he began to attract enough defensive attention.
Fisher, Kobe, and Gasol on the inside are all staring at him.
Slipping to the baseline, the Lakers' defensive formation was compressed, and Curry made a short pass to Randolph who cut into the air.
Randolph received the ball and scored a layup, and the score was chased to 97-105.
It's only 8 points away.
The Lakers still have to rely on Kobe Bryant, break through the middle, and easily flash Gasol Jr.
Left hand layup, 97:107.
10 points difference, 3 minutes to go.
The Clippers are recovering, but time is running out for them.
Time is snatched up, Curry quickly passed half court, and an acceleration got rid of Fisher!
The left side of the 45-degree three-point shot directly, and then hit!
Curry's second three-pointer of the fourth quarter.
100:107。
It's really fast.
Bryant held the ball high and hit Davis with his back.
The jump shot after turning around is also hit!
100:109!
Kobe Bryant was ready to take a break.
Who knows that in the last few minutes, you have to force yourself to show your best.
It's still Curry who controls the ball, blocks and dismantles, blocks and dismantles again, and double-covers!
The Lakers basket was empty, and Curry went directly to the basket and made a layup!
Two pick-and-roll screens by Randolph and Gasol Jr. left the Lakers empty inside.
Phil Jackson, who had been sitting on the sidelines, was unhappy with the defense.
Being beaten by Curry and losing two points like this is really undeserved.
Only 8 seconds passed.
102:109, the Lakers still have a 7-point advantage.
The Clippers saw the hope of chasing points and began to wrap Kobe.
Bryant passes the ball to Artest in the bottom corner.
It's empty, three-point shot!
It was a desperate defensive tactic for the Clippers.
Don't wrap Kobe Bryant, let him play alone, such a ball, there is a high probability of being beaten to death until the end of the game.
This was how the Rockets were killed in a couple of games in the playoffs last year.
Don't believe in evil, expect Battier's blindfolded defense to affect Kobe.
It's a pity that it didn't work, and the final stage was advanced by Kobe one after another.
Wrap Kobe, Kobe Bryant plays strongly, and the probability of hitting will be low.
Kobe Bryant passed the ball, didn't let him pass inside, and the three-point margin was exposed.
In the final stage, let your shooter shoot, and if you do, I'm out of luck.
But if you can't make it, I have a chance!
Artest missed a three-point shot from the bottom corner!
A long rebound, Gasol Jr. grabbed.
That's a very crucial rebound.
If the Lakers get it, the game could end early.
And the Clippers got it, and they still have hope of turning the tables.
It's the same rebounding, where you pick up a random one under the basket in the first quarter.
The value is completely different from that of many people now.
Gasol Jr. gave the ball to Baron Davis.
Davis passed half time and took the initiative to hand over the ball to Curry.
He knows Curry is in better shape right now.
Curry got the ball, but he didn't rush in.
He watched from the high post as the Lakers' defense was expanding outward.
Apparently stirred up by Curry.
Randolph suddenly stepped in and asked for a position under the basket.
Curry didn't hesitate and made a quick through pass to Randolph.
Randolph catches the ball and turns to make a layup!
Two point hit!
104:109, chasing only 5 points away!
There is still more than 1 minute to go until the end of the game.
Phil Jackson finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
And Min Congda looked at Curry's calm and measured performance, and at the same time fast and unmatched.
I thought, "You can't keep this son!" ”
