He hit his first three-pointer of the game to bring the score to 23-21 and the Clippers regain the lead.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, the scores on both sides soared.

According to this defense, this offensive rhythm of the game, there is not much suspense for the two teams to score more than 100.

After a period of hard play, the Warriors adjusted slightly and slowed down a bit.

Rubio dribbled past half court and began to direct his team's offense.

At the 2008 Olympic Games, Rubio represented the Spanish national team.

In the final, Spain and the United States battled, and Rubio scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

Rubio showed his all-round skills in this fight, and he was only 18 years old this year, so it's no wonder that he was called a golden boy.

Although he is a golden boy, it is a pity that there is a defect on the golden body, and everyone knows about this defect.

Especially the main center of the Clippers, Gasol Jr., the two are teammates of the national team.

How many pounds and taels you kid has, can I not know?

Known as the golden boy, he is actually an iron boy who will not throw far!

Rubio was in the high post and did a pick-and-roll with Biedrins.

Little Gasol yelled directly, "Let him go, let him go for three points!" Shrink in! ”

Gasol Jr. didn't switch to Rubio at all, but went straight inside and went to the basket.

While keeping an eye on Biedrins, he defended on Rubio's possible breakaway route.

Curry didn't switch guards either, he chose to bypass, and the board was right in front of Rubio.

Rubio had a 0.5-second open three-point shot at the top of the arc.

It's a pity that he didn't have this confidence, and after a little hesitation, the opportunity was gone, and he stopped the ball and passed it to Ellis.

This time the tactic failed, Ellis received the ball and rushed to the basket, and missed the pull-up jump shot.

Randolph took the rebound and gave it to Curry, who quickly pushed through the half court and launched a counterattack.

The same high-post block, the same 0.5-second gap, Curry held the ball and stabbed in.

Then step on the top line of the arc and shoot two points long, and then hit!

The reason why Curry didn't shoot three-pointers in this ball was because Rubio came up from behind and stuck tightly.

He needs to use a jab to close the distance and prevent Rubio from being blocked from behind.

Curry scored five points in a row, and the chatter on the sidelines immediately became much less.

Then, the Clippers can be considered to have found a good way to deal with Rubio, which is to let him go, and let him go in the big space.

Gasol Jr. is a little brother who doesn't save face for his national team at all, as soon as Rubio gets the ball on the outside, Xiao Jia yells: "Stephen, three steps, three steps away from him, let him shoot, throw it into mine!" ”

Rubio was speechless, the big brother who took good care of me in the national team, you just buried me like this?

Curry really put Rubio three steps, and Rubio made a three-point shot, but it didn't score at all.

The ball bounced off the neck of the basket, and it was Gasol Jr.'s, and he easily won the rebound.

When Min Congda saw this kind of ball, he had high blood pressure again.

"Lying in a slot, don't you enter this big vacant seat? If you change me to vote, I can get in. Just know the pass, the organization, and the steal, is it the bald Kidd of the Mavericks? I think you have a lot of hair, young man, so you won't become bald. ”

Min Congda has a deep hatred for opponents like Kidd who can't score from the outside, especially when the opportunity for a big open spot never goes through.

Because of the existence of this kind of player, it will bring out that Curry is particularly good at shooting, and by the way, Min Congda feels stupid.

Basketball is essentially a game of shooting and scoring, and all other technical statistics ultimately exist for the purpose of shooting or blocking shots.

For someone like Min Congda, who quickly sees through the essence of the basketball game, among all the technical indicators, scoring is the most important.

Other so-called assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks are all serviced around scoring, and no scoring is empty.

is as strong as Jason Kidd, although he has been criticized for his poor shooting, his three-point shooting has become more and more consistent in the past two years.

If a core player can't shoot and score in a game, no matter how many assists and rebounds you have, the damage to the team is huge.

It takes four teammates to work hard to make up for your shortcomings and holes in this area, especially in the high-intensity playoffs, which can be fatal if they are magnified.

Having a similar idea to Min Congda is Nelson Sr.

He watched Rubio be released into a three-step vacancy, and the gray-haired old scientist didn't feel good in his heart.

And seeing Curry on the opposite side facing the opponent and taking advantage of the gap of a few tenths of a second to shoot is even stronger.

Rubio is a good player who will grow into a regular season player, and his playmaking and court awareness are superb.

As long as he grows up, the Warriors' offensive organization will not have to worry.

With a good roster framework in place, the Warriors will definitely be able to return to the playoffs and play a good game in the regular season.

But to become a playoff powerhouse, or even to hit the championship, Rubio's shooting is definitely a huge shortcoming.

And shooting is not something you can practice if you want to, it's often innate.

Stephen Curry has clearly inherited the genes of his father, Dale Curry, plus he has undergone hand correction since childhood.

His unique way of shooting, excellent shooting touch, is simply the perfect spokesperson for the ball.

The more old Nelson thought about it, the more painful his heart became, and at this time, Curry pushed the counterattack, and the speed passed half the court.

The Warriors defenders didn't dare to defend Curry too far, and as a result, Curry passed the ball to Thorton without looking.

Thorton received the ball and rushed to the basket, made an easy layup, and the Warriors' paper-paste defense pierced through with a pass.

A point guard with strong shooting ability, the opponent will not dare to go too far.

As a result, Curry will be able to attract and pull the opposing defense to the greatest extent possible, creating opportunities for his teammates.

Of course, rookie Curry's ability to pull is not particularly obvious.

The Warriors immediately adjusted their defensive strategy, allowing Rubio to keep an eye on Curry one-on-one, and the others not to wrap up.

Rubio has a good sense of steals, and he's not the type of player who likes to make steals.

He tried not to lose his position, and used his long arms to interfere with the opponent, waiting for opportunities to break the ball.

Curry was careless, and was stolen by Rubio, and the Warriors fought back.

Rubio made a nice behind-the-back pass to Monta Ellis, who was fast down.

There was no one in the frontcourt, and Ellis scored a fast-break dunk.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 33:31, and the Clippers led the Warriors by 2 points.

Curry scored eight points in the first quarter and dished out two assists while committing as many as three turnovers.

Two of those turnovers were led by steals by Rubio.

Rubio, on the other hand, scored two points in the first quarter and dished out four assists with no turnovers.

He also contributed two steals, both of which were from Curry.

Two excellent point guards from '09 fought in different ways of playing.

Min Congda can already think that some big V post-game articles will definitely say that this is "the new Kidd vs Nash".

The so-called base does not attack, accepts does not defend, does not pass, and ignores the dog, these two newcomers do have similar characteristics.

But Min Congda knows that Rubio is not Kidd, and Curry is definitely not Nash.

They are the point guards of the new era, and each has distinct characteristics.

It's very different from the players of the previous era.
