Chapter 608: Curry's career debut

After 7 minutes in the first quarter, the score on the court was 21-11.
The Warriors relied on their youth storm to expand the points difference to double digits in the main force stage.
At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the Oracle Arena, because someone on the technical stage was waiting for a replacement.
On the Mavericks side are Diop and Terry, and on the Warriors side are Hayes, Landry, and... Curry!
With that cute face, Mengku is coming!
In the summer league this year, because of looks, Curry was reported by ESPN with the prefix of "primary student".
This makes Curry, who has already received much attention, become the focus of the whole people, and the topic has surpassed Griffin.
In other words, Curry has gained popularity far surpassing his own strength without even playing this game.
The most direct piece of evidence is that the game is still on the court, and the photographer immediately gave Curry the shots he was waiting for.
Curry knelt on one knee, his hands on his knees, his eyes moving with the offensive and defensive transitions on the court.
That scene really looked like a "primary school student" waiting to be named by the teacher.
However, it can be seen from his expression that his emotions are still a bit nervous.
After all, this popularity is also invisible pressure in some ways!
Dead ball on the field, the substitute players on both sides have been on the field one after another.
Curry came on to replace Azubuike!
It was not Sun Hao that he replaced!
In other words, Curry's debut was on the same stage as Sun Hao.
Sun Hao's fans watched this scene and expressed their excitement.
Just as readers become protagonists, fans often become their own fans.
Curry is Sun Hao's eldest nephew, and many people regard him as their eldest nephew!
So seeing Curry on the same stage with Sun Hao as soon as he came up, the kind of joy that can't be described in words.
Azubuike also took good care of the rookie of the team. He gave Curry a briefing when he left the field and patted the latter's by the way.
Substitution came back, the offensive round of the Mavericks.
Nowitzki played with the ball in the high post.
Landry obviously couldn't prevent Nowitzki one-on-one, the Warriors double-teamed on the weak side.
It may be because of the new arrival, Curry missed the ball when assisting the defense, Nowitzki quickly passed the ball, Terry caught the ball and stopped to take a mid-range shot.
"Huh!"
Compared with Howard, Terry's state is obviously better.
But the fundamental problem with this ball is that Curry missed someone.
Curry also immediately indicated that it was his own problem.
The Warriors advanced to the frontcourt and Sun Hao reached out to make a tactical gesture. This is an off-ball tactic at the second position.
The old Nelson gave Sun Hao a lot of freedom on the court, and he was the first to show his "eccentricity" in Curry.
Landry's pick-and-roll was in place, but Curry took a bite to fight before he came out, his body's center of gravity was lost, and it was too late to reach out to catch the ball.
Sun Hao's ball was measured with an advance pass. As a result, no one caught the ball and it went out of bounds!
"beep!"
Fortunately, the referee's whistle sounded at this time, signalling Terry's defensive foul.
This whistleblowing turned the original mistake into a foul!
Terry was emotionally appealing to the referee, while Curry bowed his head and exploded.
The intensity of the regular season confrontation was much greater than he expected.
When the ball leaked earlier, it was too late for his body to fight back.
"The free throw went."
Sun Hao walked over at this moment and smiled and touched Curry's head.
Curry nodded, the moment he was touched, he felt an inexplicable burst of encouragement.
The reason why Terry was so excited was because the Mavericks had committed fouls in a single quarter, and fouls would have to free throws.
Curry goes to the free throw line.
Affected by the "Touch Your Head" badge, his mentality at the moment has been much calmer.
And think about it, although he didn't play well on offense and defense, at least he scored much faster than expected.
Adjust your breathing and make the first penalty shot.
"Huh!"
The first point of his career, get!
With the first point, his mood seemed more relaxed.
Then, the second penalty is also a steady pocket.
After the free throw, he reached out and patted his chest.
He scored 2 points in one minute on the field, which is very efficient~
His mentality is still very optimistic.
23 to 13.
It's still 10 points.
Kidd made a tactical gesture at this time and asked Terry to open his back and hit Curry.
His judgment is very quick, because what can be seen in the past two rounds is that Curry's confrontation looks a bit weak.
Although Terry is a substitute, he has very strong singles ability. If he takes Curry hard, he will be a breakthrough on the court.
The others moved to the wings, giving Terry plenty of room for singles.
The Warriors can't help defense at this time. The Mavericks have Nowitzki, and the offensive space is very large.
Terry held the spherical frame, he glanced at Curry, it felt like he was about to eat the opponent.
If he just came up, Curry would definitely feel guilty.
But after two rounds, he didn't get nervous anymore.
Terry stared at him, and he stared at Terry too!
This look, on the contrary, made Terry a little uncomfortable...
Trisol retracted his gaze, then turned to the right to break through and attacked.
Don't say much, just do it!
But Curry's speed is not slow, and he withdrew early to Terry's breakthrough position!
The two had a direct physical confrontation.
Terry originally wanted to directly use the confrontation to knock Curry away and make an emergency stop.
Only at the moment of confrontation, he found that Curry's confrontation was completely different from what he had imagined.
The body is not as thin as it seems!
When he retreated after the confrontation, his center of gravity was already unstable.
"when!"
As a result, his withdrawal step smashed out of the basket!
Hayeska protected the defensive rebound and gave Sun Hao the first time.
Sun Hao and Durant made a double fast break.
This time Durant made a good return and assisted Sun Hao in the fast break to score dunk dunks with both hands!
25 to 13!
The youth storm 3.0 of the Warriors is still going on!
Terry had a conversation with Kidd at this time.
Waiting for the frontcourt, Terry took possession of the ball, and then Kidd leaned back against Curry in the high post.
Terry followed and passed the ball.
It seemed that Terry and Kidd had talked about Curry's confrontation. Kidd didn't believe it, so he had to do the inspection himself.
Many of the ball-handling players in the 1990s were good at backs, and Payton was a good player.
Although Kidd is not that strong, but the basic skills are definitely there.
One, two, Kidd only took two to know what Terry said was true, and Curry's confrontation was not as bad as it seemed, or as bad as it appeared.
But he didn't stop, and after two more vigorous gouges, when he suddenly hit the back, he hit the ball back one to the ground.
On the side off the ball, Nowitzki didn't know when he had already used Diop's pick and roll to cut into the basket.
This one hit the earth comfortably, Nowitzki took the ball and scored two points with an easy layup.
Curry didn't react at all, and didn't give any interference.
He has been taught another lesson.
The point guard's back shots are rarely really scoring. Most of them are to contain the defense on the court and create scoring opportunities for teammates.
Of course, this ball is not just Curry being taken to class alone, but the defensive attention of the weak side of the Warriors is also a big problem.
Although the experience last season has made them mature a lot, this team still has a lot of room for improvement!
25 to 15!
There is still a 10-point difference on the field.
The Warriors failed to attack the frontcourt, and Kidd turned around and continued to command the position.
Terry gave Nowitzki an unconventional screen. After receiving the ball, Nowitzki squeezed Curry to layup and scored two points!
The difference was reduced to single digits!
This is Kidd's field control ability!
Although Terry didn't make his first singles, he personally verified that Curry's confrontation was stronger than expected.
but! Curry is still the weakest point on the Warriors' defense!
Especially when Curry was a rookie, don't beat anyone!
Players are not fans. There is no such thing as a player who says that you and Sun Hao are familiar with you and treat you preferentially.
"From the current point of view, Stephen's performance and Sean (Livingston) are far behind."
On the commentator side, Brin came to a conclusion after watching Curry's performance in the past few minutes.
"If the Warriors' goal for the new season is to go further, then their summer trade is really not the best choice."
Miller on the side also nodded in agreement, but soon, he made a turn for himself.
"But Stephen's characteristic is offense. Compared to defense, if he can open up the offensive end, it will still be of great help to the Warriors."
This sentence seems to be down the steps for Curry, but it is also a reminder to the fans.
You expect a player who was considered offensive in the draft to play a good defense, which in itself is an unreasonable expectation.
With the Warriors’ offense, Sun Hao once again gave Curry a ball, giving Curry a three-point chance from outside.
It can be said that he really gave a lot of preference to his eldest nephew.
Curry made a quick three-pointer from outside.
This is also his first three-pointer in his career!
"when!"
still none!
"Perhaps the outside world pays too much attention to him and puts too much pressure on him."
As a three-point shooter, Miller is very tolerant of Curry.
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 27 to 21.
The old Nelson gave Curry a lot of trust and did not replace him because of his poor performance.
As a result, the Lone Ranger team has been holding on to his breakthrough point, bringing the score closer.
At the end of the first quarter, Curry was a little depressed when he was off the court.
He played a full 5 minutes, but apart from the two free throws on the court, he didn't have much success behind.
It can even be said that because he was caught playing on the defensive end, he was completely a side effect.
No matter how optimistic the person is, if he fails to do his job well, he cannot be optimistic.
Under the recommendation, the book-chasing app I am using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\reading\\app\\\\] cache reading, offline reading!
Sun Hao got up at this moment to meet Curry, and after touching the latter's head, he pulled him to sit down.
He didn't say any words of encouragement, but began to analyze Curry's rounds on the court.
He is very clear that Curry is not lack of strength, more because of not adapting to the intensity of the game, and then the mentality has fluctuated after being caught and hit on the defensive end.
It's like a novice driver driving for the first time, and hitting a wall is a normal thing.
Adjust your mentality and find the correct position, and your performance will naturally get better.
Curry also nodded frequently. Compared to verbal encouragement, he really needed some practical help at this time.
What Sun Hao said is also very detailed, such as how to avoid confrontation when running, and how to avoid dislocation when defending.
These things are all empirical talks, and Curry also listened with special attention.
Back in the second quarter, the Warriors side, old Nelson let Curry continue!
This trust is comparable to what he had to Sun Hao when he was in Dallas!
Of course, this is also understandable.
Because the Warriors' goal this season is very ambitious, although Curry is a rookie, but he hopes that Curry will grow more quickly.
Compared to Curry's growth, the outcome of a regular season is really not that important.
Back in the second quarter, the Warriors lineup on the field, Curry, Azubuike, Maggette, Landry, Hayes!
Curry played as a shooting guard at the beginning when he was in the NCAA, and then he turned to a point guard. In a real sense, he was also a combo guard.
In contrast, he is still better at the point guard position.
Or it can be said that he is in charge of the team in this period.
Back in the second quarter, the Mavericks first attacked.
The Mavericks are also close to a full bench lineup.
Terry is the main offensive point on the court, he comes up to take advantage of the screen to shoot mid-range jumpers.
But Azubuike is not Curry, his defensive experience and ability are much better than Curry.
With this ball, he successfully bypassed the pick-and-roll and gave it to interference~EbookFREE.me~ Dang! "
Terry's shot strikes!
Hayes protected the defensive rebound and handed it to Curry.
Curry didn't rush into a fast break.
After advancing to the frontcourt, he pressed a wave of positions, and then a wave of tactical gestures, making a sudden ball to Maggette who cut in!
Maggette received the ball and scored a layup, which also caused Diop's defensive foul!
The details of this shot are full.
Curry made a fake shot first, used his own quick cut into the basket, and then the timing of the ball was just right.
Diop was not unable to prevent Maggette, but he turned to the rim before he could make a defensive action. As a result, he not only failed to prevent him but also paid a foul!
In fact, the same as in history, because many of Curry's offenses are three-pointers, many people automatically ignore his ball control and passing ability.
Although these aspects of him are not so exaggerated compared to three-pointers, they are also historical!
And from the choice of this ball, you can also see the change in Curry's mentality.
In the first quarter, he was nervous and under pressure, so he wanted to prove that he didn't make the wrong decision to replace Livingston with Livingston as the outside world said.
But after sitting on the court for a while and analyzing with Sun Hao, he calmed down instead.
Coupled with returning to the point guard position he is most familiar with, he has entered the mode he is good at!
During the talk, Maggette made a penalty and retreated to the defensive end. Curry showed his learning ability and did not directly switch to the opposing opponent when he encountered a pick and roll.
The Mavericks missed a wave of offense, and Landry grabbed the rebound and gave Curry.
At this time, Curry observed that the Lone Ranger team's offensive formation was too forward and did not retreat in time, and directly accelerated to the frontcourt.
The running speed is like a Porsche without brakes!
