More importantly, Deng Fang knew that Kobe's three-point shooting was inaccurate, so it was a good choice to let him shoot during regular time.
If Curry doesn't feel good, it's okay to let him continue shooting.
Because his shooting percentage is there!
Failure to make a bet repeatedly is a small probability event.
There are 82 games in a season, and Curry may have a few bad games.
But do you dare to bet that he doesn't score?
Even if he didn't make the first few shots, you guarantee that he won't make any shots tonight?
No matter how good a shooter is, there is no guarantee that the first few goals will be scored.
And once Curry finds his touch, the day-to-day mode will be on!
It is precisely for this reason that no one dares to let Curry shoot even if Curry's touch is not there.
Even if Curry feels bad, Deng Fang dares to let Curry continue shooting!
Of course, this is not yet a fact recognized by all teams.
Because Curry hasn't been tested enough.
At the beginning of the season, everyone was not familiar with Curry, so they didn’t pay much attention to Curry’s shooting.
Even now, I have only played more than thirty games, and the season is not even halfway through.
Curry's shooting is very accurate, but you are a rookie after all!
Could it be that you have been lucky recently?
Could it be that the opponent's defense is not strong enough?
There are still many teams in the league that don't take Curry seriously.
Although the Warriors have a good record, who knows whether head coach Deng Fang is good at coaching or general manager Tim has a good eye for selection?
Even Kobe Bryant has not hit 12 three-pointers in a single game?
But can you say that Kobe is a good shooter?
Kobe's career three-point shooting percentage is less than 30%!
Although Kobe is still reliable at critical moments, and you don't dare to give him an open shot at the last moment, but if you can choose, it is better to let Kobe shoot three-pointers in regular time than letting Fisher or Vujacic shoot three-pointers.
Kobe Bryant, who has played in the league for many years, is like this, let alone Curry!
So there are still some teams that don't pay enough attention to Curry.
Such as the sun.
In the game a few days ago, the Suns were betting that the basket would not make a shot.
As a result, the Suns bet was right and they were very lucky.
Gentry may think he is very powerful, but Curry is nothing more than that.
But Deng Fang knew that this was just a small episode.
The sun is just lucky.
Deng Fang also knew that although he was also gambling, he was different from the sun.
If Curry doesn't feel good and can't make a three-pointer, that's a small probability event.
And Kobe's poor three-point shooting is a high probability event!
If Kobe feels good today, then admit it!
Now that I'm betting, I have no other choice.
The Suns bet is because the Warriors have an excellent record, the whole team is performing well, and their morale is high.
If you lose anyway, then you have to take risks and take the wrong direction.
Deng Fang's bet was because Kobe's breakthrough was so powerful that it was difficult to defend against mid-range singles.
In this case, let him shoot the three-pointers that Kobe is not good at!
If it were another person, it would be fine if I didn't feel good today.
But Kobe doesn't.
He will keep shooting until he makes the shot!
This is exactly what Deng Fang hopes to see.
The trend of the game was as Deng Fang expected. Kobe made many three-pointers, but got nothing.
The Warriors are going smoothly under the leadership of Curry.
The score was quickly drawn.
The Zen master didn’t have any good ideas.
Without Artest, the team's defense is full of holes.
Curry found his touch today and performed well.
As the leader of the team, Kobe was struggling with himself again, insisting on finding his own touch.
The only thing Jackson could do was call a timeout and talk to Kobe.
However, if someone can be convinced by just a few words, then he is not Kobe!
After Kobe came on the stage again, his eyes were full of anger, and he rushed in with his head sullen.
However, the Warriors had heavily defended him before. Now that they knew that Kobe was not feeling well, the Warriors shrank even more.
Kobe broke in a few times and either got the ball stolen or got an offensive foul.
Depressed, Kobe shot another three-pointer.
The rule of shooting is that the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to make a shot!
So Curry didn't feel good two days ago, so Deng just gave Curry two days off and asked him not to touch the basketball.
Kobe was in such a hurry, the result is predictable.
At the end of the first quarter, the point difference between the two teams had widened to 15 points.
The second quarter of the game started quickly.
The Lakers still can't do it as a substitute.
Led by Curry, the Warriors' morale has risen, and they can't stop them even if they want to.
Now is the time to grab credit, and everyone will fight to be the first.
Even Turiaf dunked on Bynum's head!
The difference is getting bigger and bigger.
By the time the starting lineup came on again, the point difference had already reached more than 20 points.
Originally, after a period of rest, Kobe should have calmed down a bit.
But seeing this point difference, Kobe became even more anxious.
Two points and two points won’t quench your thirst!
Then keep voting!
You’re going to lose anyway!
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
What if I get my touch back!
Unfortunately, it is a small probability event that a dead horse will be resurrected.
Kobe's three-point accuracy is also a small probability event.
Although Kobe made two three-pointers in the middle, the Warriors' defensive strategy remained unchanged.
Kobe had no choice but to keep shooting.
The results can be imagined.
Kobe has no touch, but Curry has an incredible touch, hitting shots repeatedly!
So much so that later Kobe asked to guard Curry personally.
Kobe's defense is among the best in the league.
9-time All-Defensive First Team selection is not just a boast!
But, again, when Curry finds his touch, no one can guard him!
In front of Kobe, Curry made three consecutive pull-up three-pointers!
Kobe also shook his head helplessly.
After Curry made another three-pointer in front of him, Kobe reached out and slapped Curry hard on the butt.
Boy, I really have you!
Although they are opponents, one of the players Kobe admires most is Curry.
After the last game, Kobe was generous with his praise for Curry.
Soon, at the end of half-time, the score became 69:43!
The Warriors lead by 26 points.
This is a huge difference.
Soon, the second half of the game began.
The Lakers' defensive strategy changed in the second half, and they began to focus on taking care of Curry.
Kobe is the main defender, and the others are behind and ready to make up defense at any time.
In a word, just don’t let Curry take action!
Anyone else can shoot from wide open spaces!
I accept the investment!
Curry can’t shoot anyway!
Seeing this scene, A Smith sighed in the commentary box: "When the defending champion uses box-1 tactics to deal with a player, I can only say that this player is too great!"
Barkley also nodded and said: "Yes! The Lakers never used such tactics against Pierce and Garnett in the finals the year before last!"
A Smith added: "Well, I think all teams in the league should do this when encountering Curry! No matter how he feels!"
Barkley laughed loudly: "Yes! You have no choice. Once Curry takes the shot, the game is over. And if his teammates take the shot, the result is not certain."
