Seeing that Curry came back so quickly, Reggie Miller in the commentary box was surprised: "Why is Curry back? Or is he running back? Is everything fine so soon?"
Mark Jackson was also surprised: "Looking at the look just now, I think Curry has to go back for a check-up and rest for a day or two. It's really hard to come back so soon!"
Reggie Miller said with some regret: "The regular season has just begun, it's just one game, why bother! Young people have to think about their careers!"
Reggie Miller added: "It was probably Deng Fang's idea. He said before the game that he not only wanted to win this game, but also beat it by more than 30 points. I only had to find a way to take it back for the bragging I made!
"
Mark Jackson nodded in agreement.
Not only the commentators, but also the Rockets players were a little surprised by Curry's return.
Especially Ariza, his expression was solemn and his brows were furrowed.
The foul against Curry just now was a brutal foul, and it's okay to say it went beyond the bottom line.
Such a foul may occur once in a while.
After all, Curry is just a rookie, and the league will not treat him specially.
However, if such fouls occur repeatedly, the referee will definitely take action!
It's definitely not going to work if it's too obvious.
Therefore, the defense at the back needs to be restrained.
The referee signaled the players from both sides to come on. Deng Fang waved his hand and started again.
Curry easily stood in front of the free throw line, preparing to shoot the free throw.
Curry's movement control skills and shooting are among the best in the entire NBA, but what is he most afraid of?
Physical confrontation!
Especially targeted, physical confrontation that exceeds intensity.
Because it is easy to get injured.
I have to admit that due to physical limitations, small defenders are naturally an easy target in this giant activity.
Especially superstars!
This is especially true for a technical player with a thin body like Curry.
However, with Deng Fang here, this worry disappears!
If you are no longer afraid of injuries, then Curry...
Only God knows the upper limit!
Therefore, after experiencing Deng Fang's magic in person, all Curry's worries are gone.
Not surprisingly, the extra free throw was scored.
The Warriors lead 13-0.
This is a fantastic start!
A start that no one expected!
A weak team, a newly formed team, the first game of the new season started at 13:0, and the points were scored consecutively by one person. This person's play is still so entertaining. This is the fans.
Been dreaming of it for years!
Is Monta Ellis any good?
good!
Do you still miss him?
In no mood!
Because there is a more fragrant existence!
Because the team has hope!
And the hope is still great!
The enthusiasm of the 20,000 spectators at Oracle Arena was suddenly aroused, and the entire audience cheered for the Warriors.
The game continues.
Amid the cheers of the entire audience, the Rockets players were under tremendous pressure.
The pick-and-roll didn't work, Battier's singles were ineffective, and little black bean Brooks had to play alone.
I have to say that Brooks's singles ability is quite good.
Although Azubuike has quick feet and plays hard defense, Brooks still finds a way to score.
Brooks dribbled to the frontcourt, signaled his teammates to pull away, and then began his performance.
Seeing that Azubuike was very close, Brooks swayed left and right, took two steps forward, stopped suddenly, raised his hand and shot.
Hit the mid-range shot.
13:2.
The Rockets scored two points.
Azubuike was very calm, and it was acceptable for Brooks to score like this.
Before the game, Deng Fang had specifically told the team that the most important thing to guard against Brooks was to guard against his three-pointers!
As long as Brooks is not given three points, everything else is fine!
With Brooks' height and weight, it's difficult to finish inside when he reaches the inside.
However, as long as he breaks into the paint, Lopez has to come over to help defend, so Brooks has the opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates.
Whether it's Scola at the basket or Ariza and Battier on the outside, they still have a lot of confidence in scoring.
Therefore, we cannot easily give Brooks the opportunity to break into the inside.
Then, the only way is to give him a chance to make a mid-range shot.
You know, those who can make it in the NBA still have two skills. It is impossible for you to completely block the opponent.
Unless the difference in strength between the two is too great.
This season is the peak of Brooks' career. It was also in this year in his previous life that Brooks won the Most Improved Player award.
It is impossible to completely seal off such an existence.
Moreover, with Azubuike's height and speed, even if Brooks can get a chance to take a mid-range shot, it will be very difficult and the hit rate will not be very high.
After scoring two points, the Rockets players became slightly calmer.
Looking back, Curry and Lopez continued the pick-and-roll.
With the previous lessons learned, the Rockets learned well this time. As long as Curry picks and rolls, two people will attack Curry!
Lopez was suddenly out of control outside the three-point line!
Curry's passing vision is unmatched by Brooks!
The basketball quickly reached Lopez's hands.
Lopez did not hesitate and took action decisively!
The basketball hits the net!
Another three points!
Reggie Miller in the commentary box was once again stunned: "What's going on? A center shooting a three-pointer? So decisive?!"
Mark Jackson also shook his head: "What kind of tactics is Deng Fang's! It seems that this was specially designed by him. I have never seen it before! Admit it! Although I don't agree with his tactics, but now I only think about the results.
I can convince you!”
The whole audience was in jubilation!
The big center comes out and shoots three-pointers?!
Cool!
Three point team!
Who said only dunks are great?
Three points are just as beautiful!
16:2!
A perfect start!
Head coach Adelman on the Rockets bench frowned and sat motionless.
How to prevent this?
Chase defense?
Curry directly**!
Switch defense?
still**!
Pincer attack?
The center is open for a three-pointer!
Completely incomprehensible!
The game continues.
Although the game was away from home and the start was very unfavorable, you must know that the Rockets' nickname is Xiaoqiang, and it is not for nothing!
Even without Yao Mai, the Rockets still played very tenaciously.
Brooks is worthy of being the most improved player in history this season. He turned on the offensive mode and made several consecutive mid-range shots.
Scola also slowly found the feeling.
He no longer went to the basket to attack Lopez, but bullied Lopez into being unable to get out. He would pick-and-roll with Brooks and then cut outside and hit the mid-range shot.
I have to say that this strategy is still very effective.
The Rockets' score began to rise.
However, the Warriors have more firepower.
The pick-and-roll between Curry and Lopez made it difficult for the Rockets to guard against. Curry would make one shot, and Lopez would make another shot.
Although two or three missed in the middle, the Warriors all shot three-pointers!
After all, Curry alone made five three-pointers, and Lopez also made three!
Soon, with more than three minutes left in the first quarter, the score reached 28:13!
