Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Chapter 14 Double Cover Tactics, Escort Curry 3 Points

"If you ask me, this kid named Stephen Curry may be able to change the future of the NBA."

Curry's rain of three-pointers forced the veteran team to call a timeout.

Back on the court again, the veteran team changed their defensive strategy.

Udoka switched Lowry to guard Harden and rerouted Richardson to guard Curry.

As for Artest, let Crawford defend.

It has to be said that this change in defensive strategy has achieved immediate results.

Quentin Richardson was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 2000th pick in the first round of 18.

After playing for the Clippers for four seasons, he turned around and joined the Phoenix Suns.

After going around for a few years, he was eventually traded back to the Clippers.

Richardson has flexible feet, strong breakthrough ability, and good COSCO shooting ability.

However, as a swingman with excellent offensive ability, his defensive ability has been overlooked.

NBA legend Charles Barkley said: "He can defend, as long as he wants."

I thought today was just an ordinary training match, but in the end, I was humiliated by a junior boy from Davidson College.

This really made their veterans look very dull.

Therefore, Richardson showed his attitude during the official game, biting Curry like a ferocious hound, completely denying him the chance to shoot.

The current Curry is not the mvp later, his body is too thin.

Facing a defender who is tall, long, and as flexible as his own, Curry seemed extremely uncomfortable.

After a few rounds, Artest only scored two points with a tip-up.

On the veteran team, Kaman and Millsap frequently succeeded in the paint.

Soon, the score was chased to 12:14.

Fortunately, at this time, Harden stepped forward.

He first used his physical advantage to force Lowry and scored two points.

Immediately afterwards, Harden relied on another breakthrough to attract Millsap to fill in, and then threw the ball high.

Ibaka, who was blocked by Kaman and wanted to rush up, firmly occupied the best rebound position.

Suddenly, a tall black shadow suddenly blocked the light above Kaman's head.

It's Jordan!

I saw him jumping high, catching the ball thrown by Harden with both hands in mid-air.

Slammed into the basket hard!

"Wow!" Yang Li couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

This is the first time he witnessed Jordan's violent dunk.

One word can describe it, shocking!

The impact of this kind of witnessing is no less than the feeling of watching Jordan's death button from the highlights.

It seems that as long as Harden and Jordan are there, the reputation of the city of lobs will continue to belong to Los Angeles.

Limiting Curry is just limiting a scoring point for the rookie team.

But there's more to this team than Stephen Curry.

And James Harden, and Serge Ibaka and DeAndre Jordan!

In Kobe's words, the talents of these four are almost overflowing the sky.

But just relying on talent, can't beat the veteran team.

The rookie team reassured Yang Li most was that man——Ron Artest.

Just when Kaman was about to single Jordan again, Artest suddenly appeared from behind him.

In the blink of an eye, Artest grabbed the basketball from Kaman.

At this time, Curry had already noticed Artest's movements, turned around and ran towards the opponent's half.

After Artest got the ball, he looked up, then raised his arms and threw the ball towards the opponent's half court.

Curry just ran across the middle of the field when he saw the basketball flying towards him.

At this moment, everyone in the Veteran Team had just reacted, and hurriedly chased after them.

Curry caught the ball steadily, dribbled two steps forward, and suddenly slowed down outside the three-point line.

Emergency stop, three-point shot!

Swish!

The basketball fell cleanly into the net once again.

Fast break three? !

Curry's goal once again shocked the audience.

In the situation just now, if you change a hundred people, a hundred people will choose to go to the basket, layup or dunk.

But this Stephen Curry, he ended up with a three-pointer on a fast break?

It's still a difficult three-point stop!

Before the end of the first quarter, Curry had already scored 15 points.

Yang Li's task of scoring 30 points for him has been half completed.

On the veteran team's side, Curry has been shot numb.

The rookie team has also become numb.

Many of them have competed with Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

Both of these two are historical three-point shooters, but neither of them is as unreasonable as Curry!

Especially Artest, after seeing Curry retreat, Artest went up excitedly and touched Curry's head.

"Stephen, listen, you're definitely the best three-point shooter I've ever worked with!"

Curry was taken aback when he heard this, and then suddenly realized something, and was surprised and happy.

Artest was once a teammate of Reggie Miller, a historic three-point shooter.

Just now Artest said that he is the best three-point shooter he has ever worked with. What a high praise!

"Thank you very much, Ron." Curry said happily.

After the first half, the rookie team led the veteran team 53:46.

But in the third quarter, the veteran team quickly adapted to the rhythm of the rookie team with years of experience in the nba.

靠着最后2分钟的一波10比2的进攻小高潮,老将队以75:72领先进入最后一节。

Seeing the score, Yang Li finally picked up the tactical board.

"DeAndre take a break and let Sean come on." Yang Li looked at Livingston beside him.

"Coach, what do I need to do?" Livingston asked.

"I need you to hold the ball at the top of the arc." Yang Li said and started to draw on the tactical board.

"In the last quarter, we played a double-screen tactic."

Atkinson and Uduka couldn't help being curious when they saw Yang Li draw up tactics on the tactics board.

Does this kid from the other side of the ocean really know how to play football?

The fourth quarter begins.

Since Jordan got the ball at the beginning, it was the rookie team's possession.

Curry and Artest had already come to the frontcourt, ambush to the two bottom corners, one left and one right.

After Livingston got the ball, he slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

Facing Crawford's defense, Livingston chose to hold the ball and attack to the right.

Harden took the initiative to cover, and Lowry quickly switched defenses to fill Crawford's position.

And Ibaka mentioned near the three-point line before, and he is already waiting on Lowry's travel route at this moment.

Lowry slammed into Ibaka's arms and was blocked tightly.

Kaman had no choice but to make up for it quickly, and Ibaka directly followed the gap left by Kaman to the basket.

Livingston sent the basketball from Kaman's crotch to Ibaka's arms with a light touch pass.

After getting the ball, Ibaka patted the ball, then got up and dunked!
