Chapter 219 Intra-team competition! Curry vs Lowry!
The grouping of the two teams is completely arranged according to the real rotation lineup.
For the starting team, Lowry and McGrady partnered in the backcourt, George and Griffin formed the front line, and Yao Ming guarded the penalty area.
On the bench, Curry and Brandon Roy form the backcourt, Tony Allen and P.J. Tucker are on the front line, and Anderson is the center.
At the same time, Jeremy Lin, Danny Green and Scola on the sidelines are also waiting for Mark Jackson's call at any time.
Players from both sides changed their jerseys and walked onto the court one after another.
On the sidelines, Shen Fei asked Mark Jackson and Lyles: "What do you think of this match?"
"There is no suspense, the main team will win by a big score."
Mark Jackson said categorically.
As the head coach, he naturally knows every player on the team very well.
In Mark Jackson's view, the substitute team's defense is very good, but the talent is completely different from that of the main team.
In previous competitions, as long as the main team exerted its strength, the game would be wasted.
"Other than Brandon, there is no one else on the bench whose talent can match that of the main team."
"The only difference between today and the past is that Jeremy Lin was replaced by Stephen."
"But I don't think this change is enough to change the winning side."
Mark Jackson explains.
"I also agree with Mark."
"Stephen is very strong and is a young man with great potential, but his current strength is not enough to reverse the gap in strength between the two sides."
Lyles agreed.
Shen Fei smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Curry has not been with the Rockets for a long time, but with the blessing of the [Spiritual Time Room], he has successfully completed the change in the way he exerts his strength.
Such a small change has fundamentally lifted Curry's shackles.
In other words, he already has the foundation for incarnation as "Kuritian".
If he is allowed to lead the substitute team and play a best-of-seven series with the main team, he will really not be able to win.
But if it's just a 20-minute match, then everything is not impossible!
At least, Shen Fei has hope for this.
............
The assistant coach walked to the center circle and threw the ball high, and the game officially began!
Yao Ming jumped slightly and relied on his height and arm length to win the ball.
The main team attacks first.
Lowry carried the ball through half the court and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.
Facing Curry's defense, he was very confident.
In this game, Lowry's goal for himself is to give full play to his own advantages and let the coach see the value he has that Curry does not have.
One of them is physical confrontation and strength!
I saw Lowry make a crossover, shake Curry half a step away, and then accelerate to the right to break through.
Meng Shen reacted quickly and moved sideways to block in front of him.
But after all, Lowry has the nickname of "Little Steel Cannon". Once he charges, it is difficult to stop him.
In addition, Curry has not done any weight gain yet and his body is still relatively thin.
Facing Lowry's forced breakthrough, he could only defend passively.
In the end, Lowry faced Curry and completed a layup in the paint.
The ball bounced off the backboard, bounced around the basket a few times, and finally fell into the net.
2:0, the main team took the lead.
Curry got off to a bad start. The first goal he practiced with his teammates was scored by a single, and it was inevitable that he looked a little confused.
He quickly raised his right hand to indicate that it was his problem.
Birdman Anderson waved his hand and said: "You were on guard just now, but I didn't react, otherwise I would have risked him."
Roy also agreed: "Kyle just took the shot reluctantly. You did defend well."
After receiving the affirmation from his teammates, Curry's mood obviously improved.
After the transition between offense and defense, he passed the ball to Tucker who was ambushing in the corner.
The latter drew his bow and arrow, and took a three-pointer before Griffin could reach his position.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Duang!"
The ball hit the edge of the basket hard and bounced out of the frame.
Yao Ming took off the rebound, and the main team launched a counterattack.
"It's a pity, the timing of this pass is very good."
Mark Jackson said regretfully off the court.
"It's really a lack of luck. This kind of ball should be a sure thing for Tucker."
Shen Fei nodded.
His eyes returned to the field.
Lowry advanced with the ball at high speed, imitating Curry's pass just now, and also passed the ball to the open George.
It's a pity that George faced the defensive powerhouse today - Tony Allen.
Teacher Tony had already predicted Lowry's intention to pass the ball and waited patiently. After the latter passed the ball, he pounced and successfully intercepted the ball.
Curry's reaction speed was extremely fast and he immediately opened his hand to ask for the ball.
After getting the ball, he ran at high speed and went straight into the main team's half.
After Lowry made a mistake, he immediately returned to defense with all his strength.
But Curry's speed is so fast that it is beyond the reach of the small steel cannon.
Fortunately, Griffin's playback speed is very fast.
He relied on his strong athletic ability to complete the overtaking and reach the penalty area before Curry.
Unexpectedly, the cute god who was originally dribbling to the free throw line suddenly took a huge step back and retreated to outside the three-point line.
At this time, Griffin completely lost his defensive position and could only look at Curry from a distance inside.
At the same time, Lowry, who was desperately trying to defend, pounced on Curry from behind.
He knew that once the latter was allowed to take the shot calmly, the ball would most likely go in!
[We must risk it for him!]
At this thought, Lori used all her strength to jump up.
This is probably the highest he has jumped this season, high enough to even out the height difference between him and Curry!
However, at the moment of lightning, Curry actually made an amazing move.
