After much thought, Adelman decided to start with defense.
With this kind of defense now, Curry and Lopez can defend it, but if the Warriors are more blossoming, who can stand it?
Curry hit those three-pointers in the opening game and then was scared to death?
Who knows if he was a flash in the pan?
Laga Bell and Prince have been playing in the NBA for many years, and they have proven themselves. Letting them shoot open three-pointers is definitely not a wise choice.
Although Lopez is a second-year rookie, it is not a good choice to let him score inside.
In this case, it's better to switch to defense.
I want to see if Curry can kill me on your own!
No matter what, after switching defenses, you are still shooting against people!
So, after the timeout, the Warriors found that the Rockets' defensive strategy had changed.
They no longer flanked Curry, but switched defenses again.
It was Hayes again in front of Curry.
Curry's eyes lit up!
What does it mean?
Do you really think I don’t dare to vote against others?
Do you really think I can't make the shot?
I've been holding it in for half a game, and now I finally have another chance!
Curry didn't hesitate, he didn't even make any fake moves, he just raised his hand and shot!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
Another three points!
Reggie Miller shouted in the commentary box: "Six! Six and three points!"
He made six three-pointers in less than three quarters. This was an amazing achievement in 2009!
Curry made five three-pointers in the first quarter. After that, the Rockets kept double-teaming him, which also made it difficult for him to continue to increase his scoring.
However, Curry has a lot of assists.
In less than three quarters, Curry already has 8 assists!
In addition, Curry was also very lucky today. Even the rebounds, which defenders are least good at, had 7 rebounds!
Hayes frowned, but didn't pay too much attention.
The coach has said, try your best to defend, and if you make a shot, he will be great!
I've tried my best to block shots, but what should I do if it doesn't affect me?
Who has ever seen such a fast shot?
Isn't this just throwing it away?
What can you do if you just throw them all in?
Looking back, the Rockets' offense was still piecemeal and it was difficult to score consistently.
There is no way, without a clear core who has the strength to lead the team, it will always be difficult for the team to score.
Just relying on hard work is not useless, but it is difficult to last.
If you drink too much chicken soup, it will always taste boring.
In turn, the Warriors' offense becomes much smoother.
Aren't you switching defenses?
Then let Curry throw you to death!
Do not believe?
Then give it a try!
In the next round, Curry continued to pick and roll. After switching to Hayes, he did not hesitate to raise his hand and shoot!
We are about the same height and you are much slower than me. What should I be afraid of?
No matter how hard you try, you can't interfere with me!
In four consecutive rounds, Curry made three three-pointers!
"Nine! Oh my God, I see a new star rising!" Reggie Miller yelled.
The whole audience was also in high spirits!
I've never seen a three-pointer like this before!
Face to face**!
Dribble and stop for a three-pointer!
The hit rate is so high!
The shooting speed is so fast!
Isn’t this going to happen every day?
Yes, he is Ku Ritian!
Amid the cheers and cheers from the audience, Curry became even more excited!
After making these three three-pointers, Hayes finally did not dare to stand on the three-point line and defend.
As long as the pick-and-roll is switched, Hayes starts to take a step outside the three-point line, followed by Curry!
I have to say, no matter what, Hayes is also an NBA player!
No matter how slow the speed is, if you want to prevent you from shooting, you can still do it.
However, you are so close and your speed is much slower, so why don't you wait to be passed?!
Curry's golf IQ is not low. Seeing Hayes being so defensive, he immediately accelerated his breakthrough without hesitation!
Crossing Hayes is almost like crossing a log!
Five members of the Warriors can shoot three-pointers. The shooters stand outside the three-point line, and other Rockets players dare not help defend.
Curry's layup was an easy one!
One, two, three...
In desperation, Scola inside started to help defend.
However, Scola's speed is also very slow and his bounce is even worse.
After Curry personally experienced Deng Fang's magic, he became more determined to break through and didn't care about being injured at all!
Anyway, Deng Fang is here when he is injured!
Scola himself was slow, and Curry's breakthrough was so determined. In desperation, Scola had no choice but to foul Curry.
As a result, Curry began to frequently stand on the free throw line.
One free throw, two free throws, three free throws...
One two plus one, two two plus one...
Scola was very helpless.
As a last resort, the rest of the Rockets began to help defend.
As a result, Lopez, Azubuike and others got open opportunities again.
Lopez kept getting basketballs from Curry under the basket.
Dunk!
Empty basket!
Azubuike made a three-pointer!
Laga Bell made an open three-pointer!
The feeling can be summed up in one word: cool!
The Rockets once again failed to focus on one thing and another, both inside and outside, and their defense was riddled with holes.
The score between the two teams quickly widened.
In the blink of an eye, there was less than half a minute left in the third quarter, and the score had become 88:59!
29 points difference!
Curry also made 9 three-pointers, scored 44 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds!
The Rockets' offense was still very constipated, and once again it was delayed until the last moment. Brooks had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer against someone.
As expected, the basketball hit the rim and bounced out.
This time it was a long backboard, and the basketball bounced very far.
Curry was lucky. He happened to be on the flight path of the basketball. With quick hands and quick eyes, he grabbed the rebound and quickly dribbled the ball forward!
There is no one ahead!
There are only three seconds left and Curry is still in the middle!
Reggie Miller in the commentary box yelled: "Quick! Quick! Faster! There's still time for a layup!"
Unknowingly, Reggie Miller has become Curry's fanboy!
The entire audience is cheering for Curry!
What a great opportunity!
There is no one in front!
Ariza, the Rockets player closest behind Curry, was three steps away from him, and even he gave up pursuit.
You can't catch up even if you chase, so why bother!
It looks like Curry is definitely going to take one!
Oh, no, layups are OK too!
I have forgotten that Curry’s other nickname is the Little Prince of Dunk...
Curry dribbled the ball forward quickly, and the entire audience thought he was going to end the third quarter with a layup.
Unexpectedly, Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the key and stopped two steps beyond the three-point line!
More than one second left!
Without hesitation, Curry collected the ball, glanced at the basket, raised his hand and shot!
"Ah? Shoot a three-pointer! Shoot a three-pointer with no one guarding you?!" Mark Jackson yelled in the commentary box: "What a bad choice!"
Indeed, when no one is guarding, speeding up to the basket is definitely a better choice.
Most people think so.
But Curry is no ordinary person!
Most people's layups are definitely more reliable than three-pointers.
But Curry is different. His three-pointers are more efficient than layups!
Especially in this emergency situation.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
The timer turns red at the same time!
The third quarter is over!
Three-pointer at the buzzer!
Curry's tenth three-pointer!
47 points!
Curry used a three-pointer to break the long-standing rookie scoring record in his first game!
That was the miracle of Chamberlain and Marshal Zhang!
