Chapter 610: "Ankle Terminator"

No one knows the future, but tonight, the Warriors' performance can be described as perfect.
The Splash Brothers are online. Although Curry is focused on the defensive end, he has his own characteristics on the offensive end.
Originally, this game was expected to be a close match before the game, but in the whole game, the Warriors have been suppressing the Mavericks team.
Moreover, they also withstood the last-minute counterattack of the Mavericks, steadily accepting the game 113 to 106.
Sun Hao scored a game-high 32 points and Durant also scored 26 points.
This is 58 points for the two. In addition, Oden and Curry performed well tonight.
Oden contributed a double-double of 18 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks.
It can be clearly felt in the game that after losing weight, his flexibility has increased a lot, there have been fewer fouls, and the number of cakes has also increased sharply.
Although he is still at a disadvantage in the head-on confrontation with O'Neal, the increased flexibility allows him to use a bypass to restrict Olney from receiving the ball.
So in terms of overall performance, although it was unable to achieve the combination of Chamberlain and Russell expected by the media, it has improved a lot compared to last season.
The last is Curry.
Curry scored 4 three-pointers in his career debut, scored 16 points, 5 assists and 2 steals, scoring the most off the bench.
In a team with two top ten or even top five players in the league, being able to make such a debut is completely worthy of the word "excellent".
At the press conference after the game, Sun Hao and Durant also blew wildly at Curry.
16 points didn't seem to be something to brag about, but many people ignored Curry's dismal performance in the first quarter.
In other words, his performance has an obvious process of first suppressing and then rising, which is really difficult and rare for a rookie.
Sun Hao and Durant were blowing wildly, but it seemed that the media didn't buy it.
When ESPN reported on the game after the game, the description of Curry focused more on his tribute to Sun Hao's slippery scene.
Of course, compared to ESPN, FOX's report is a bit more excessive. They directly used Curry's famous scenes as pictures...
As mentioned earlier, Curry's Alliance has gained a reputation far beyond his personal strength, and also bears far more pressure than he should bear at this time.
This is expected, and what is unexpected is that this situation has continued.
The Warriors made a good start, and then defeated the Trail Blazers, Suns and other teams one after another, and won a wave of five consecutive victories at the start of the game, ranking first in the Western Conference.
Curry made his debut well, but there was a significant fall back, only to score 14 points in the game against the Suns, and the remaining games scored in single digits.
It is not that his own state has ups and downs, but that his opponents are madly targeting him.
Then, he quickly hit his "rookie wall".
The speed at which this wall came was jaw-dropping, and just like his fame, it was an unconventional phenomenon.
As a rookie, he has been double-teamed in the game against the Hornets, can you believe it?
Curry's psychological quality and ability to withstand stress were well demonstrated in the first game, but the situation he faced was not something he could solve at once.
He needs to improve his confrontation, but also needs to improve the ability to handle the ball, these things will require a process.
Insert an app: Perfectly reproduce the old version of the book-chasing artifact, an interchangeable app-Mimi Reading.
Then, there was a scene of "the emperor is not in a hurry, the is in a hurry".
The Warriors management is not in a hurry, the coaching staff is not in a hurry, and the teammates are not in a hurry, but the reporters are in a hurry!
Basically, after every game, reporters have to ask how Curry's performance is.
In late November, the Warriors ushered in a focus battle against the Wizards.
Speaking of the Wizards, the performance this season can be described as dismal.
They spent a lot of money to sign Boozer in the offseason. Boozer did not disappoint his expectations. He averaged 19+7 per game and is the strongest insider combination Yao Ming has ever partnered with.
However, this is not the key, the key is that McGrady is injured!
And the injury is not that severe, did not play in the preseason, and the regular season is also very limited.
Last season, he closed down a few shots to help the team return to the finals, but the facts proved that the closed shots really can't be played.
In this game, Tracy McGrady held up the waiver card and could only sit on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes.
On one side is the Warriors in hot form, and on the other side is the Wizards without Tracy McGrady.
The result of this game seems to have no suspense.
However, the final result was surprising, because the Wizards won!
Oden was committed by Yao Ming's 6 in three quarters. Boozer also slapped Ibaka and Landry, smashing a Wizards career-high 31 points and 11 rebounds.
Curry also continued to be targeted for mediocre performance, with only 10 points on 3 of 9 shots.
These factors also make the 60 of the water-splash cut into the empty cut.
At the press conference after the game, reporters began to play the role of "eunuchs" again, worrying about Curry's performance.
Sun Hao was already immune to these problems, and a set of formulas used to be perfunctory.
"Why do you always keep asking?"
But Durant was obviously impatient.
"Do you believe it or not the next game, Sun and I will take turns to let Stephen score a high score for you to see?"
And the reporters who were straightforward in his next sentence were speechless.
"I'm serious, if you continue to ask, I will really do it."
Durant showed his true character to the fullest.
After he finished speaking, the reporters finally stopped a bit.
Of course, only at the press conference.
In the media reports after the game, Curry received more attention than in the past...
Sun Hao also felt his head watching those reports.
He now feels more and more that it is not a good thing for Curry to be on the same team.
Because this is no longer a matter of excessive attention, the media are eager to destroy Curry to prove what they said "the Warriors summer trade was wrong."
Although he trusts Curry very much, knowing that he will definitely get more frustrated, break the rookie wall and play well.
However, he also knew that as long as he was in the Warriors, the media could not stop.
Especially, in a sense, he is the ceiling over Curry's head.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the'Ankle Terminator' badge!"
Just when he threw himself into the system for training in annoyance, the system popped up a reminder sound.
Ankle Terminator (Bronze): Slightly improve the ability to complete breakthroughs through continuous dribbles, and slightly increase the probability of dangling to the opponent!
He unlocked a dribble badge!
Sun Hao was not surprised by this badge.
The 3.0 version of the system has almost doubled the training time, as well as the way of full-field training.
Under the influence of these factors, it would be strange if he could not unlock the dribble badge in one summer and one month in the season.
And this badge is very 6!
The ankle terminator badge, 2K players should not be too familiar with it.
It can be said that this is the most practical badge for defenders in 2K.
As a defender, who doesn't like to knock his opponent down!
The appearance of this badge also made Sun Hao temporarily put aside Curry's worries.
He must get used to the new badge for a while in the system.
With the 3.0 version of the system, he can fight in advance without going to the arena.
And I have to say that this badge comes especially at a time.
Because there are two more games, the Warriors will play a game with the Celtics in the East.
It will be another fierce battle.
Especially for Sun Hao, he has not played a game with his old friend Garnett after he made his comeback halfway last season.
Even going back, this will be the first time Sun Hao has played against Garnett on the court after his suspension.
Meeting old friends, think about it, it's worth looking forward to!
Two days later, the Warriors washed the Timberwolves 126-87 at home, and then boarded the plane to Boston the next day.
The Celtics’ Big Three are all older now, but the addition of Rasheed Wallace has greatly improved their strength.
They are currently 5 wins and 2 losses ranked second in the East, closely behind the Bulls.
In other words, this is the current head-on confrontation between No. 1 in the West and No. 2 in the East.
Adding to the grievances between Garnett and Sun Hao, the media before the game had done enough to exaggerate, and before the fight started, it looked even more lively than the Christmas War.
And the commentary of this game is also the commentary of the TNT Big Three, which is full of appeal.
"I will punch that guy's shit! He doesn't deserve to be called Kevin!"
Durant vowed to Sun Hao before the game.
As Sun Hao's number one fan, in the case of Garnett, two of the keyboards sprayed on his social media were broken.
Now he is on the team with Sun Hao, he will definitely put out 120% of his energy.
Sun Hao smiled and nodded, and said nothing.
Although he also knew in his heart, Garnett must have been complaining for a long time because of his suspension, and this game must be suffocating.
But Durant's hospitality, how could he have the heart to refuse.
And his own words also prepared a gift for Garnett to meet old friends.
On the day of the game, at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, the scene was already crowded with people.
The Warriors are now in full swing, but the game just lost to the Wizards shows that their stability is still not enough.
The Celtics are not without a chance tonight, it can even be said that the opportunity is great.
As long as he wins the game, this is Garnett's "revenge battle", and it is exciting to think about it.
The arena also knows the fans very well. When warming up before the game, they have been splitting shots for Sun Hao and Garnett, and the atmosphere is rendered very well.
But what the photographer didn't capture was that Durant's look at Garnett was full of murderous eyes, which was obviously the performance of seeing enemies.
After the warm-up, the scene quickly entered the opening ceremony.
The visiting Warriors played first.
Azubuike is not on the active list tonight due to injury, and it is Matthews who replaces him as the starter.
With his own efforts, Matthews not only succeeded in gaining a place in the Warriors rotation, but also got a starting opportunity in the 8th game of his career, which can be said to be quite inspirational.
Sun Hao, Matthews, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.
This is the Warriors' starting lineup tonight.
On the Celtics side, Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Rashid Wallace, Garnett.
Rivers is also very targeted.
"Ernie, who do you think has a better chance of winning tonight?"
The game hadn't started yet, on the commentary side, Kenny Smith automatically skipped Barkley's "number one grandson" and asked Ernie Johnson.
"I am more optimistic about Boston. Their lineup is not worse than the Warriors, but they have more experience."
Johnson is not because it is the Celtics at home, but made a more rational analysis.
"Charles, I already know your point of view, it's not enough. I think the same as Ernie."
Kenny Smith ended him early without waiting for Barkley to speak.
This directly made Barkley laugh.
But after laughing, he still has to say what he should say.
"Guys, you have to know that this is Sun's fight against Boston again after many years. His performance will make you scared."
Buckley said seriously.
This wave of sun blowing is very real.
Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith couldn't bear your expression.
However, their gazes unconsciously looked towards Sun Hao who appeared on the court.
What Barkley said just now reminded them of one thing. Sun Hao's performance last season was not bad, but there is still a gap between his performance before his retirement.
However, this season, Sun Hao has averaged close to 30 points per game so far, and his condition is obviously much better~EbookFREE.me~ For such a game, they might have the opportunity to revisit how the original "Mr. 81 Points" played?
While talking, the starters on both sides have already appeared one after another, and the game is about to start.
Oden and Garnett jumped the ball.
Oden also looked serious.
Although he is not Sun Hao's obsessive brother like Durant, Sun Hao has given him a lot of help and is considered his benefactor.
The benefactor's enemy, he is also struggling.
"beep!"
With a whistle from the sideline referee, Oden took the lead and jumped high to dial the ball back to the Warriors half.
The away team first strike!
Sun Hao held the ball to the frontcourt, and Oden pulled directly to the three-point line to make a pick-and-roll!
This enthusiasm is a bit high at the beginning.
Sun Hao also matched Garnett through a pick-and-roll dislocation.
The restlessness at the scene suddenly became louder.
This is no foreplay, let them watch the climax as soon as they come up?
Not to mention that the fans are excited, the players on the field are also a little excited.
But at this time, a figure quickly cut into the basket with Ibaka's pick and roll.
Sun Hao held Yang, and the ball flew straight towards the figure as if he was wearing a positioning device.
The Celtics didn't react to this pass.
It was Durant who cut in. He got the ball and jumped straight up, pulling the ball a lot higher than the basket.
"Boom!"
In the exclamation of the fans, Durant contributed a large tomahawk dunk as soon as he came up!
And Durant was a bit emotional after landing, and he roared at the fans on the sidelines.
This is what he said to Sun Hao before performing the game!
Sun Hao was also very touching.
He thought he might have underestimated Durant.
Even if it’s just a fourth grader, it’s Kevin Durant after all!
