super small forward

Chapter 282 282. The first three-pointer in history is coming!
"Stephen, why are you here?" Liu Ren asked curiously.

Curry twitched internally, and said embarrassingly: "I don't like to gamble. I think it's better to practice alone. I don't want to lose to you in the game the day after tomorrow!"

Curry would never tell Liu Ren that he was kicked out by the casino. The people in the casino thought he was underage, and he left his passport in the hotel without him.

"Haha, is that right? I don't like to gamble, so I came here to have fun, and I happened to meet you, so that's good, the two of us practice!" Of course, Liu Ren will not tell Curry that he is alone Came here feeling abandoned by the world.

"No! I'll practice alone, you go over there for halftime." Curry decisively refused.

"Why?" Liu Ren was puzzled.

"I don't want to play heads-up with you, I'm afraid of being killed by you." Curry rolled his eyes.

"I promise I won't hit you! Come on, the feeling of fighting with you is the best, even if you are slapped on the floor, you can still make a shot!" Liu Ren stalked.

"You bastard said the same thing in Los Angeles two months ago!" Curry recalled that he came to Los Angeles to find Liu Ren to practice with great interest during the offseason, but Liu Ren kept crushing him with his strong body.

Although the results of the two heads-up were mixed, Curry did not lose the wind, but it hurts!

The second time when Curry went to Liu Ren’s house, he made an appointment not to use his body to bully the other party, that is, Liu Ren was not allowed to hit Curry with his body. With Curry’s small body, he could forcefully dunk on Liu Ren .

But when it came to the critical moment, Liu Ren made another old mistake and played the sparring as a formal match.

"Really! It won't happen this time!" Liu Ren leaned forward and hooked Curry's shoulder and said.

After a lot of stalking, Curry still couldn't resist the temptation to single out Liu Ren. For Curry, Liu Ren, who entered the NBA at about the same time as him, was the opponent he most wanted to beat.

Curry gave Liu Ren a few minutes to warm up, and then entered into the first confrontation between the two... ... guessing fists!
"Rock paper scissors..."

"Rock paper scissors..."

"Yes, I won! I go first!" Curry clenched his fists and shouted.

In the wild field, the side that strikes first has an obvious advantage, because it is difficult to defend the opponent in the field. If both sides keep scoring goals, the side that strikes first will definitely win.

"Okay, Stephen, you attack first." Liu Ren stood on the semicircle of the solid line outside the free throw line, and sent the ball to Curry who was above the arc outside the three-point line.

Curry took a look at Liu Ren's defensive position and small steps that kept moving, and found that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and this guy's defensive habits have improved a lot!

"I heard that they have introduced Bickerstaff, it is indeed more difficult to deal with!"

Curry put all these distracting thoughts aside, what is more important now is this heads-up!
Liu Ren used to have a very good defensive attitude, and the overall defense is still very good, but there is a shortcoming in his defensive habits. His defense is usually tight-pressing, or he will press the opponent to the bottom line to the two insiders. The Giants create shot-blocking opportunities.

That kind of defense works well against guys like Westbrook and Rose, but it won't work against guys like Parker and Paul who have entered the system or are pass-first.

The opponent that Curry and the team's new coach Steve Kerr focused on in the summer is the Lakers. In their view, the Lakers are their biggest enemy in the West on the way to dominate the NBA.

The Spurs are strong, but they will grow old.

For other teams, in Kerr's view, the Thunder are top-heavy and nothing to fear. The Clippers are strong in everything else. The coach pays too much attention to chicken soup and puts the burden on Paul and Griffin. They are at most a second-round team. , Teams such as the Rockets and the Grizzlies are completely ignored by Cole.

Only the Lakers have a top-notch offensive coach, and now they have introduced a top-notch defensive coach. The team is talented and veterans have experience. This kind of team is the scariest!
During the offseason, Curry studied Liu Ren's defensive weakness. When he went to Los Angeles to practice with Liu Ren last time, he found that Liu Ren's defensive habits had not improved much. Unexpectedly, it was only more than a month. Liu Ren's Defensive positioning has been greatly improved!
This is the greatest wealth that Bickerstaff gave to the young people of the Lakers. Although the constant practice is boring, some players may think it is not very useful, because some people don't even know what they are practicing.

But the physical memory after repeated training has nothing to do with whether the brain understands it or not. What is trained is a habit.

It is said that bad habits are easy to form and hard to break.

In fact, once a good habit is formed, it is also difficult to get rid of it.

Like weapons, human nature has two sides. If you use it poorly, it may be bad, but if you use it well, it will be another story.

After three weeks of repeated training, he couldn't forget his defensive position and running even in offensive training. Liu Ren had a good defensive awareness, so he made rapid progress, which gave Curry a feeling of surprise.

Liu Ren and Curry maintained an appropriate distance in Curry's opinion. Liu Ren's physical fitness is so good that players with fast posting speed can also stick very close, because even if they are close together, they are not afraid of being passed. Curry knows it well.

Being able to close to the body and press the shot, but also taking into account the opponent's breakthrough at the same time, this is where Liu Ren's defense is strong.

But Curry smiled lightly, approached Liu Ren and broke through from the right side.

Curry's speed is not top-notch, at best it is top-notch. Liu Ren's small steps are very quick, moving to Curry's breakthrough route at a faster speed.

Just when Liu Ren was about to step on Curry's breakthrough route, Curry stepped back abruptly.

Liu Ren had expected that Curry would do this, immediately took back the foot that had stepped out and kicked on the ground, and quickly rushed to the outside of the three-point line.

but!This little time is enough for Curry to go further this summer!He had already made a shooting action while retreating, and the ball just left his hand the moment his foot fell outside the three-point line!
"Swish"

Curry's incredible shot made a hollow hit!
Seeing that Curry didn't stand firm at all, and seemed to have no rhythm of shooting at all, Liu Ren felt a little excited in his heart!
"It seems that the first three-pointer in history has appeared!"

Liu Ren clenched his fists, this kind of NBA is fun!What's the point of not having a strong opponent?If he had a choice, he would like all the superstars in the league to be at their peak, so that he could beat his opponents one by one!

"Great three points, Steph, now it's my turn!"

After Liu Ren finished speaking, he made a big change of direction, went straight to the inside and dunked successfully, without giving Curry any time to react.

Looking back, Curry made another horizontal push shot, and Liu Ren also made a strong three-pointer. The two played happily...
