Chapter 155: The Pathetic Knight (Part 3)
Curry's buzzer-beating three-pointer poured another spoonful of oil on the scorching Staples Center, and the fire burned even brighter.
In the VIP room on the top floor, Anschutz, the owner of the Staples Center, couldn't help but applaud lightly as he watched Curry hit a long-range three-point shot.
Anschutz rarely watches Clippers games, and he only came to Staples to watch the game when the Clippers played with the Lakers.
What he wants to see this time is naturally LeBron James, James' performance is well-deserved, and he is the most popular superstar in the league.
But Stephen Curry's performance was just as exciting, with Anschutz applauding.
"Curry is a player who really has a bright future, and the way he plays is really unique."
Anschutz took another look at the Clippers and Clippers management, and his interest in the team grew.
As the two sides entered halftime, Anschutz snapped his fingers at the bodyguard and said, "Go and order me a steak with red head boots, three ripe." Hurry up, it's going to be hot. ”
Last time, Christopher brought Anschutz free steaks and pizza, but Anschutz didn't eat it because of the big man's face.
Beckham was full of praise after eating it, and later when he went to Staples to watch the game, he specially asked his entourage to order one.
After tasting it, I found that it was really good, and it was a very authentic Italian taste.
With Anschutz's status and status, he has never eaten anything delicious, and he has tasted the most expensive and best steaks.
The steak of the red-toed boots isn't the best, but in a place like Stamps, it's a perfect fit.
Because this steak gives the feeling of being baked in a home kitchen.
Eating at home's cooking, sitting in front of the TV and watching a football game, Anschutz hasn't had this experience in a long, long time.
He even took some interest in the chef who made the steak, and later the bodyguard said that it seemed to be an Italian woman who still had charm.
This increased Anschutz's interest in the restaurant, which he is now a regular customer.
Towards the start of the second half, Anschutz ate a hot Italian pan-fried steak, and the wanton aroma seemed to come from home.
At the age of 21, Anschutz took over his father's mantle and engaged in the oil business, fought all his life in the capital market, and became a money giant.
Ordinary family life is very distant to him, and it only exists in the extremely faint memories of his childhood, as faint as the relationship between Kobe Bryant and his parents.
And a little bit of family memories evoked by a steak are very useful to someone like Anschutz.
Eating a steak and watching the exciting game with a glass of wine is a real treat.
At halftime, players from both sides returned to the pitch.
The third quarter, the crucial one, after the first half of the temptation and finding the state.
The battle between the two sides in the third quarter will determine the final trend of the normal game.
The Clippers hold a two-point lead, a slim advantage that is almost non-existent.
At the beginning of the second half, James held the ball at 45 degrees on the left side and broke through the basket with his left hand after a triple threat.
Hands are violently clasped!
This ball O'Neill opened up space to the back.
The three-second zone was completely empty, and only Thorton defended alone.
How could Thorton be able to defend against James' first step.
Once passed, no one could stop it, and it was easy to dunk and equalize the score.
Curry immediately returned the favor, and in the third quarter he began to step up his individual offense.
The high block broke through, Curry's speed was not fast, and he didn't have much power.
He relied on rhythm and clever dribbling skills to disrupt defenders' steps.
As soon as the defenders are out of order, Curry will launch a surprise attack.
Suddenly stopped and shot a mid-range jumper, and the ball hit the board to score two points.
"Pretty, pretty!"
Mike Dunleavy was very happy with Curry's shot.
It's just too much like Sam Kassel.
They are all players with relatively thin bodies and average speed.
Breakouts rely on tempo and dribbling to disrupt defenders.
Then he finished with a cold pull-up jump shot.
It's just that the difference in appearance between the two people is really a bit big.
One is baby-faced and big-eyed, cool and cute.
One is bald and big-mouthed, and the whole one is an alien.
Min Congda also knew Sam Cassel, and looking at the photos almost didn't scare him.
"Old Deng keeps saying that Curry is like Cam Cassel, isn't that cursing Curry? However, the highlight of Kassel's career was two years before his rookie, following the Rockets to the finals and winning the championship. If Curry only gets to this level, I'm still okay with that. ”
Min Congda thought that Curry had limited potential, and it was good to be a Cassel.
has played in the league for more than ten years, has money and honor, and will send him to another team to win a championship in the future.
He is worthy of him and did not harm him.
Unlike Curry's clever wins, James is purely a force to win people.
He took the ball high and faced Thorton, who looked at him a little panicked.
James dribbled, accelerated the breakthrough, and went straight past Thorton!
Randolph came over to help defend, and James turned his back!
This turn of the hand was not crisp and neat, and it did not pass Randolph.
It's just a snatch of a position.
However, this one position is sufficient.
James used his body to push hard, and the strong Randolph was actually pushed back three steps by James and went directly out of the bottom line.
The referee didn't blow a foul, it was a good ball, the basket was empty, and James dunked it with one arm!
This TM is a small forward, this ball is the way O'Neal played back then.
Take the ball and turn around to grab a position, then step forward and force the opponent away with your body, and dunk vigorously under the basket.
If it's Curry who is squeezed, forget it, but it's Randolph who is knocked out of the bottom line.
The heavy tank on the inside of the Clippers was easily pushed away by James and took several steps back.
Although this ball is due to Randolph's unstable center of gravity, it is impossible for an average striker to have this kind of power.
Ordinary small forwards use this action to kill the basket, and there is a high probability that they will be covered by Randolph and cannot find space to shoot.
Those with strong skills will use footwork and feints to find space to shoot.
And James will drop ten times with one force, no matter how you defend it, all of them will be opened for me.
The on-site commentator exclaimed: "This player is simply incredibly strong, how can I stop him?" What the hell can be done to stop him? ”
Min Congda, who was watching the game on the sidelines, gave the answer: "Stop him? Stop a yarn, the knight configuration is so ordinary, kill them with an attack. Offense is the best defense, if the lineup is superior, it is necessary to focus on me, how can I revolve around the opponent and be seized by the opponent to seize the initiative? ”
In this regard, Lao Deng's thoughts are the same as Min Congda's, the Clippers want to win against the Cavaliers.
It's foolish to focus on "how to contain James," given the Clippers' roster.
The Cavaliers are also quite sad, playing a Clippers who are ninth in the West, and the lineup does not have an absolute advantage.
The other party still wants me to be the main one, what kind of first place in the East is this.
