Chapter 246 The third battle of the brave horse (10)
Just like in a war, each team has an assistant coach who is responsible for observing opponents and gathering information.
The Spurs assistant coach described Curry's appearance to Popovich when he came back.
Popovich frowned slightly, with a look of confusion on his face.
What's going on with Curry?
Can I fight or not?
Are you coming back to cheer for your teammates or are you going to play?
This is the most important thing!
It’s even more important than the team’s lead!
Popovich looked toward the Warriors bench, but the Warriors players were all huddled together and couldn't see anything inside.
What to do?
I heard that Deng Fang knows traditional Chinese medicine and can speed up the recovery of players from injuries.
But Curry looked seriously injured just now. Can Deng Fang cure such an injury?
have no idea!
Even if it can be cured, to what extent can Kuli recover in such a short period of time?
have no idea!
Since you don’t know anything and can only rely on guessing, it’s better to just ignore it!
In the third quarter, the Spurs started playing for a long time. At first, it was because the two teams were playing in a stalemate. Later, it was because Curry took the lead and the Spurs wanted to chase the score. Later, Curry left the game and the Spurs wanted to take the lead.
Take the game straight away.
So according to common sense, the Spurs can only let the substitutes take the lead in the fourth quarter.
Duncan and others need to rest for a while.
Soon, the referee blew the whistle and the fourth quarter began.
The five players on the field are: Parker, Mason, Bogans, DeJuan Blair and Bonner.
This is an offensive lineup.
There is no way, the Spurs only have these people on the bench, and they don't have the strength to fight defensively.
The Warriors are here: Azubuike, Belinelli, Lopez, Radmanovic.
The most crucial person is at the end, that is: Stephen Curry!
The Spurs players were a little surprised to see Curry on the court:
Can you still fight?
I fell so hard just now!
It’s ready so soon?!
However, when Curry walked onto the court, the Spurs players discovered that Curry did not look relaxed. He walked a little slowly and was not brisk.
Seeing this scene, the Spurs players immediately felt relieved.
Oh, it turns out you are holding on!
Pretend to be a hero!
Young people, understand!
You will regret it later!
This is the NBA!
Not a high school game!
It's useless to hold on!
Curry didn't care what the Spurs players thought. He high-fived his teammates and walked to the center of the court.
Seeing Curry back on the court, the fans at AT&T Center also shouted with excitement.
Although they are opponents, Curry's popularity is still extremely high!
Some people at the scene even started shouting "Curry MVP"!
This also made the Spurs players a little embarrassed.
Both teams are purely offensive lineups, but it is obvious that the Warriors are much stronger!
Curry, Lopez and Azubuike are all starting members, and Belinelli and Radmanovic's three-pointers are also very reliable!
But the Spurs players didn't pay too much attention.
What can a lame Curry do?
If you can't attack or defend, we'll fight better if you come up!
When we widen the point difference a little further, the main force will come back and the game will be over!
The game begins.
Curry caught the ball, dribbled to the top of the arc and handed the ball to Azubuike.
Azubuike is young, in good health, and has decent movement control skills. It's no problem to temporarily fill Prince's role.
Curry and Belinelli were running around the pile without the ball.
Curry didn't run fast, it looked more like a feint to create opportunities for Belinelli.
However, as long as the Spurs players are not paying attention, Curry will speed up and run out to the three-point line, catch the ball and shoot!
Azubuike seems to be ready, even if Belinelli has a chance, he won't give it to him, just waiting for Curry!
Belinelli is quite accurate, but he is still far behind Curry!
What's more, Deng Fang has arranged everything!
Just beat Curry!
Curry playing well will improve the Warriors' morale even more.
It also hits the Spurs even harder!
After all, Curry rested for six or seven minutes. His first three-pointer hit the basket and bounced twice before going in.
Although they scored, the Spurs players' hearts dropped.
cut!
Blind!
Previously, I had entered the network empty-handedly!
Now it depends on luck!
Don't be afraid!
Originally, the Spurs' substitute defense was very average, but with this kind of mentality, Curry would be even better at running out of space!
Curry's second three-pointer was very crisp and hit the net!
Didn’t even touch the mesh bag!
The Spurs players were stunned for a moment.
this……
Or luck?
The third one is another hollow entry into the net!
Score 9 points in a row!
Something's wrong!
Curry's running speed doesn't look like he's injured!
Will it be fine so soon?
impossible!
You have to keep an eye on Curry!
The Spurs began to stare closely at Curry, refusing to give him a chance to make a three-pointer from the outside.
Unexpectedly, Curry ran away from Mason and went directly to the basket.
Mason has never seen this situation before: Aren’t you going to shoot a three-pointer?
Aren't you a defender?
What are you doing running to the basket?
Azubuike passed the ball over immediately.
Curry catches the ball and it's a slam dunk!
There is no other way. Resurrected with full blood and unlimited vitality, the elementary school student wants to cause trouble!
In fact, Curry's jumping is not bad, and his speed is not slow, but his wingspan is shorter.
Westbrook's vertical jump is 76 centimeters, his run-up jump is 92.7 centimeters, and he sprints in three-quarters of a game in 3.06 seconds.
Curry's vertical jump is 75 centimeters, his run-up jump is 90.17 centimeters, and he sprints in three-quarters of a game in 3.23 seconds.
Harden's vertical jump is 78.7 centimeters, his run-up jump is 93.9 centimeters, and his three-quarters sprint time is 3.13 seconds.
In terms of running and jumping ability alone, there is a gap between Curry and Westbrook, but it is not big.
The difference between the two is mainly in explosive power.
If compared with Harden, just from the physical test data, Harden is better than Curry in all aspects of physical fitness, has higher bounce and faster speed.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Harden to be selected by the Thunder with the third overall pick during the draft, while Curry was not selected until the seventh overall pick during the draft.
One of Curry's disadvantages is his explosive power, and the other is his wingspan.
Curry's height is 191 cm, but his wingspan is only 192 cm.
Westbrook and Curry are the same height, 191 centimeters, but Westbrook's wingspan is 202 centimeters!
Curry is missing a full 10 centimeters!
Ordinary fans know that it is easier for people with longer hands to dunk, so short wingspan is also an important reason why Curry has difficulty dunking.
Curry dumped Mason and wanted to dunk.
Although it was a barely dunk, it was still a dunk!
There was only Blair near the penalty area, but Blair was only 2.01 meters tall and his shot-blocking ability was limited.
Blair was slower to defend and slapped Curry on his left hand. The referee's whistle immediately sounded.
Curry was seriously injured and left the game just now!
Even if it’s just a false alarm, we can’t continue to ignore it!
Blair struck hard this time, and Curry grinned in pain.
But it doesn't matter how painful it is, as long as it doesn't hurt.
After a while, Curry made a free throw!
Two plus one makes it!
Curry scored 12 points in a row!
Three 3 points, one two plus one!
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams was 85:79, with the Warriors trailing by 6 points.
Curry scored 12 points in less than two minutes after coming back, and his scoring explosion was extremely terrifying!
The Spurs only scored 2 points during this period!
Parker hit the mid-range shot by Lopez after a pick-and-roll!
