In comparison, the Grizzlies' bench strength is weaker.
Since Black Bear Randolph is left behind, the Grizzlies will definitely attack him on this point.
The one guarding Randolph was DeAndre Jordan, who was chosen by Deng Fang specifically to deal with powerful inside players like Randolph.
Iverson handed the ball to Randolph, and Jordan was waiting behind him, ready to defend.
As soon as Randolph dribbled the ball, Anthony Morrow immediately came up from the other side to attack.
It's easier to see where the open space is on the outside without dribbling, but it's a bit more difficult once you dribble.
Anthony Morrow attacked very resolutely.
Jordan's size and physical fitness are both superior to Randolph's. Although he is young, his defense is not bad, so the double attack between the two makes Randolph uncomfortable.
In desperation, Randolph had no choice but to pass the ball out.
Carroll caught the basketball outside and passed the ball back to Iverson again.
There is no way, Carroll and Sam Young are both just soy sauce, and their independent offensive capabilities are not good.
Even if it's a three-pointer, as long as it's not wide open, they are unreliable.
The Warriors have repeatedly practiced the rotation after double attack in the past few days, so as soon as Carroll received the ball, the defense came over.
There were less than ten seconds left in the attack time. Iverson looked at the timer and had no choice but to choose to play alone.
There is not enough time to organize anymore.
It was Curry who guarded him.
The two of them still look very similar.
Iverson is on the short side among guards, and Curry is also on the thin side. Neither of them rely on their physical fitness to make a living.
Glancing at Curry in front of him, Iverson's fighting spirit ignited in his heart. He took the ball to his chest and made a triple threat action.
Curry stretched out his right hand to cover Iverson's eyes, ready to defend.
Deng Fang has told Curry in advance that he will be given more time to fight against Iverson in this game.
Including offense and defense.
Although Curry looks cute, nicknamed a primary school boy, and harmless to humans and animals, in fact his fighting spirit is as good as anyone else.
No matter who he is guarding, Curry goes all out.
However, Deng Fang and the coaching staff also studied Iverson's technical characteristics and gave Curry a lot of instructions in advance.
Therefore, although Curry reached out to try to interfere with Iverson's shooting, he did not stand too far forward.
Iverson's shooting is not elite, especially from long range.
And his breakthrough is full of lethality.
Therefore, Curry has a certain degree of selectivity when defending.
Prevent sudden shooting!
Especially COSCO Investment!
Seeing that Curry did not step forward, and everyone else was guarding one against the other, Iverson immediately started dribbling.
Iverson was not particularly confident in shooting near the three-point line.
Especially when someone is defending in front of you.
Needless to say, Iverson's dribbling was very skillful.
Curry stared closely at Iverson, and his feet were constantly changing.
To be honest, no matter who you are, it is still difficult to completely defeat your opponent one-on-one.
Unless your opponent is much worse than you in every aspect.
If Iverson was in his prime, it would still be possible to beat Curry.
But Iverson is now 34 years old!
When people age, their legs age first!
Among all positions on the basketball court, the most obvious one that requires speed is the guard.
Because you don't have height, you have to rely on speed.
And once you no longer have the advantage in speed, you will be in more trouble.
Although Curry's physical fitness is average, he is young after all, and he is only 21 years old this year!
In addition, Curry's defensive enthusiasm was sufficient and he took a step back in advance, so it was still difficult for Iverson to get past Curry.
He made two fake moves by dribbling the ball left and right. Seeing that Curry could not be shaken away, Iverson pressed forward and rushed forward.
Curry immediately took two steps back and stood in front of Iverson.
Iverson's breakthrough is indeed powerful, but for a person who is faster than him and takes a step back to prevent his breakthrough, it is still difficult to break through.
However, Iverson was also prepared. He saw Curry's intention and pulled the ball back. Iverson made an emergency stop to collect the ball, and immediately opened a body distance between him and Curry.
It's obvious that Iverson is going to make the shot.
Curry quickly reached out to interfere with Iverson's shot.
Iverson was very decisive, raised his hand and shot.
You know, emergency stop mid-range shot is also Iverson's specialty.
Without this hand shot, how could Iverson become a superstar in the NBA where there are so many great players?
What happened before Iverson crossed Tyronn Lue's classic scene in the Finals was his pull-up mid-range shot!
Curry tried his best to jump to interfere, but Iverson's ball was released quickly.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
I have to say that Iverson's mid-range shooting is still good.
Curry frowned slightly.
The desire to win is something every NBA player has.
Looking back, it was the Warriors' turn to attack.
Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, and it was Iverson who defended him.
As usual, the Warriors will use a pick-and-roll at this time.
But Curry didn't ask DeAndre Jordan to come up.
This is Deng Fang's arrangement.
Of course, it is in line with Curry's wishes.
Proving yourself in front of your idols and seniors is what every junior wants to do.
Curry handed the ball to Livingston and ran around without the ball.
However, this time Curry was not too fast, and Iverson kept following him.
After going around in a circle with no open opportunities, Curry immediately came to the top of the arc to take over the ball.
Iverson followed Curry to the top of the key and was ready to defend.
Curry raised his hand and glanced at the basket, preparing to shoot.
It seems that like Iverson, he is also a triple threat.
Iverson, like Curry just now, reached out to interfere.
Who would have thought that Curry wasn't faking at all, he just threw the ball!
Since it is a triple threat, there is a threat of shooting!
Since it is a threat and you never vote, is it still a threat?
Compared with hand speed, Curry is not afraid of anyone!
Iverson is already shorter than Curry.
Curry is 1.91 meters tall and Iverson is 1.83 meters tall. There is still some height difference between the two.
For an average person, even if your opponent is shorter than you, as long as they stand in front of you and make defensive movements with their hands outstretched, they will basically not be able to shoot.
There are a few people who vote against others, and they will basically be scolded to death by the coach!
That's called Langtou!
But those are ordinary people!
Curry is not!
Curry is great because of his shooting!
I just want to vote!
Throw hard!
Decisively vote!
You will be frightened to vote!
If you vote, you will be scared when I raise my hand!
That's called a true triple threat!
This is where Curry is really better than Iverson.
No matter how Iverson fakes, he still has to get to the basket.
Even if it is a mid-range shot, it must be as close to the penalty area as possible.
But Curry is different!
Iverson was just defending normally. He didn't expect Curry to actually shoot.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
