"If it's a one-on-one duel, I think it's Kobe." Deng Fang replied: "But in team combat, and with me as the head coach, Curry is stronger."
"Curry is a rookie!"
"Young people don't have ambitions!" Deng Fang replied: "Heroes emerge from youth! This is an old Chinese saying. If you don't understand, you can go down and look up the dictionary!"
"After winning this game, you are back first in the Western Conference and your record is also first in the league. Do you feel a lot of pressure in this position?"
"A little bit, but there's nothing I can do about it," Deng Fang replied: "That's how strong my strength is, and I can't do anything about it!"
"The next game is against the Pacers. This is your second showdown this season and the last time. They lost the last game. They will definitely give their all in this game. Do you have any special arrangements?"
"No! Our winning streak is unstoppable!" Deng Fang replied.
…
After the game, the Warriors once again appeared on the front pages of major media:
The defending champion loses, and the Warriors once again ascend to the top spot in the Western Conference!
Kobe had no choice but to lose with 56 points, and Curry led the team to victory with 38 points and 20 assists!
Kill LeBron first, then Bryant, there is no suspense about who will win the MVP trophy!
For the first time in his career, he was impressed by his opponent. Kobe admitted that his favorite player is Curry!
Deng Fang continues to say wildly that James is not as good as Kobe and Curry is worse than Kobe!
…
Although he won the game, Deng Fang was not very happy.
Because the system only gave him one ability value.
The winner is the Lakers!
Defending champion!
Kobe Bryant scored 56 points!
Any other team would have lost!
This only gives 1 ability value?
But the system ignored Deng Fang’s complaints at all.
There was nothing Deng Fang could do.
Who allowed himself to brag about winning by 30 points before the game?
Fortunately, I won. If I lost this game, I would have deducted at least 2 ability points!
Now Deng Fang has a total of 12 ability points.
Still not safe!
In the final analysis, winning is the last word!
To be honest, winning this game was a bit thrilling.
If it weren't for Curry's hot touch at the last moment and his ability to compete with Kobe, the outcome of this game would not have been certain.
Why is this happening?
Deng Fang underestimated Kobe's scoring ability.
Deng Fang clearly remembers that in addition to the Black Mamba, Kobe’s other nickname is the best blacksmith in history!
In other words, Kobe took a lot of shots, but his shooting percentage was not high.
Especially three points.
So when it came to defending Kobe, Deng Fang didn't have any special arrangements.
He felt that one Laga Belle was enough.
The result surprised him.
Kobe's scoring ability is really strong.
Especially his ruthlessness.
Be ruthless to your opponents, be ruthless to your teammates, and be ruthless to yourself!
It is this fierceness that makes him so terrifying.
Lagabel's defense is indeed good, but defense is passive after all.
The NBA is based on the principle of favorable offense. In this case, if the opponent is strong and aggressive, it will be difficult to defend.
Don't be so careless next time you play the Lakers.
Of course, the immediate problem is how to deal with the incoming walkers.
…
Two days later, the game between the Pacers and Warriors started at Oracle.
The Pacers lost to the Warriors by 39 points in their last game, and they will definitely hold their breath for revenge this time.
But Deng Fang didn't care.
Hard power is here!
Without good cards, no matter how great your poker skills are, or your careful calculations, it will be useless.
Sure enough, the Pacers removed Roy Hibbert and Duntay Jones this time and replaced them with Murphy as center and Mike Dunleavy at the fourth position.
Murphy is 2.11 meters tall and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 45% last season!
Mike Dunleavy is 2.06 meters tall and has a career three-point shooting percentage of 37.7%!
The defense of these two men is average, but their three-pointers are very accurate.
Obviously, this is to compete with the Warriors in offense!
Since I can’t defend myself, let’s compete with you for three points!
The Warriors' first four small tactics are very good and the results are remarkable. They will definitely attract the attention of other teams in the league.
We are all human beings, who can’t imitate cats and tigers?
In the Pacers' lineup, Granger is very accurate in three-point shooting, Murphy is very accurate, Brandon Rush is also very accurate, and Mike Dunleavy is also very accurate.
Only point guard TJ Ford's three-point shooting wasn't very good.
But it doesn’t matter, they have CIC and can break through, that’s enough.
The Pacers thought well and their offense was indeed good.
But there are two things they can't compare with the Warriors.
The first one is that they don’t have Curry!
A point guard without three-pointers is the most deadly!
The ball is in your hand, I will take two steps back to guard you!
If you can invest, you are considered great!
I admit it!
Want to break out?
no way!
No matter how fast you go, how fast can you go?
They're all human!
Two steps is enough!
The single defense takes two steps back. If TJ Ford plays a pick-and-roll, Curry will go behind the screener!
Just bully you for not having three points!
What happened?
If you’re not convinced, just jump in!
If you're still not convinced, hit me!
See who is afraid of who!
For a player with poor shooting, the less you guard him, the less likely he is to make a shot!
Chiguoguo discriminates against you, which will make you even less confident!
What is the most hurtful sentence on the field?
"Let him vote!"
"No need to guard him, he has no basket!"
One of the five people was very annoyed when one of them didn't have a basket.
Because that will make your opponent defend from five to four, and your offense will be much more difficult.
If you're a forward who doesn't have the ability to shoot, that's better.
But if the player without the basket is a point guard, it will be fatal!
The center or forward can at least pose a threat at the basket and is also useful on the defensive end.
The point guard is completely a liability if he doesn't have a basket.
It's a pity that the Pacers just have no basket at point guard.
The point guard alone is enough to kill the Pacers.
Another point is defense.
The Pacers' lineup has a wide offensive space and strong outside firepower, but their defense is generally not good.
The Warriors are different.
Laga Bell, Prince and Azubuike are all defensive heroes.
Lopez has no problem defending the interior, and he is not particularly slow due to his youth and speed.
Even Curry won't suffer against an average point guard.
Without defense, it is difficult to have a good shooting opportunity.
No matter how good the lineup is, they don't want to keep grinding out positions.
The defensive end is always unable to guard, which will also undermine the offensive end's shooting confidence!
They made the shot, can you make the shot this time?
The shooting percentage under pressure will never be too high.
These two gaps put the Pacers at an absolute disadvantage.
What's more, this game is at the Warriors' home court!
Just defeated the defending champion, the Warriors players are in high morale again!
The result was the same. Although the Pacers' players felt good at the start, due to poor defense, they were constantly scored by the Warriors on fast breaks.
The game only lasted two quarters, and the point difference widened to 20 points.
Curry only played for 5 minutes in the third quarter, and Yong San was crazy again at Oracle Arena.
The Warriors' 15:1 climax completely made the game lose suspense.
