Chapter 676: Stunned Curry to make up for the update~
49-55, Curry alone expanded the Warriors' lead.
Is this guy so accurate in three-point shooting? And so confident?
Okay, it’s interesting, then let me play with you!
Kobe asked for the ball directly after halftime, and then... didn't care about Iguodala at all, and took the ball in the direction of Curry.
"Here, what is Bryant doing? Why is he taking himself to a crowded place? This is irrational and can easily be double-teamed by opponents." Bill McDonald's explanation is correct, Kobe Bryant
He forcibly changed himself from a one-on-one perspective to a one-on-two situation. It is obvious that Steve Blake has no independent scoring ability and the threat is too small.
Curry decisively came to double-team Kobe, but he did not dare to stick too close because he was afraid that Kobe would miss the ball. Steve Blake's fixed-point three-pointers are still very good. If you let him shoot, it would not be very smart.
But Kobe had no intention of passing the ball out. He was flanked by Curry and Iguodala, and forced the ball to pass through the middle. Using his body of over 230+ pounds, he staged the classic "pass through the door."
people".
Then he pulled it up and dunked, slamming the basketball into the Warriors' basket with one hand.
51-55.
After scoring the goal, Kobe walked past Curry and said: "How are you, do you want to play? Boy?"
Even though Curry is small, he is a man with great self-esteem and ambition, and he is not afraid of Kobe. He immediately retorted: "Bryant, don't forget, I just scored 3 points, one more than you."
Woolen cloth!"
"Oh? Really?" Kobe said, "Then continue, I'll wait for you."
After halftime on the 24th, he said to Steve Blake: "Steve, let's switch defenses. I'll guard this Warriors No. 30."
Kobe opened his mouth, what else could Steve Blake say? He nodded and completed the defensive exchange with the former.
Curry dribbles the ball in an attempt to find opportunities to break through, but this is Kobe at his peak. If you play like this, it is too much. Moreover, Curry has a very important problem. He likes to play tricks when passing the ball and does not protect the ball enough.
You can say that he is "coquettish" when dribbling, but once he is intercepted by his opponent, he will lose his temper. Kobe is still a much more famous star than him, and once the two have a normal physical confrontation
, the referee will definitely be slightly biased towards No. 24, not to mention that Stern and Adam Silver have made some explanations, so Kobe's collision on the edge of foul and non-foul destroyed Curry's dribbling action, and then he didn't
Stalled, sprinted forward, and succeeded in a solo fast break dunk.
Comparing speed between Curry and super-peak Kobe is completely different.
So in the end I could only watch No. 24 dunk into the basket.
53-55.
"This ball is also two points, but two 2-pointers are greater than one 3-pointer, right?" Kobe walked past Curry after landing and teased. Curry had just dared to shoot three-pointers in succession in front of him, and even spit out his teeth suit.
Damn, this has made Black Mamba want to pinch him.
Damn old guy! I must fight back!
Curry held the ball, and just after halftime, a figure stuck up to him. Different from the previous two balls, Kobe did not give the former any space for this ball, and the whole process was high-energy confrontation. The Warriors felt huge pressure on No. 30, because in
Dribbling in confrontation is not his strong point. In fact, Curry has always had the problem of having a too high center of gravity when dribbling. In this regard, he is relatively poor at the No. 1 position.
When Kobe Bryant at his peak was fully guarding Wade at his peak in the half court, it was difficult to break through. There were several classic single-defense shots left behind, and Wade ended up walking and hitting the iron. If you try another person to defend Wade at his peak like this, you will have already broken through.
Your mother doesn't even recognize you anymore. Do you really think that the name "The Flash" is for nothing? Billups also tried the same defensive method back then, but was shaken away by Wade. He almost stopped and fell to the ground.
"Dogs eat shit." Not only "Flash" Wade, but also James suffered this kind of hidden loss. It was Kobe in his last season. His footsteps and half-court marking ability were amazing.
But now, the person our Curry is facing is not peak Kobe, but super-peak Kobe.
so……
Beep beep beep~
Judging from the referee's gesture, he actually gave Curry a walk with the ball!
"Hey, are you okay? You even walked, are you still No. 1?" Kobe will not let Curry go easily in this game. The opponent's pretentious behavior just now gave Kobe a big bite.
"Energy pack", so Curry will either explode or be bombed by the whole game!
Curry was extremely angry, but it was simply unrealistic for him to challenge Kobe Bryant. His weight, height, wingspan, and physical fitness were far behind the latter. Now, don’t even think about bullying the "old Kobe" and "physical fitness" like in the original time and space.
"The ambition is still strong".
Kobe asked for the ball after halftime, and this time Curry was also angry. He pushed away Iguodala and wanted to defend his opponent one-on-one from the top of the arc.
This is very manly, this is very courageous, but again, Stephen Curry is really not suitable for one-on-one, especially against the super-peak Kobe. It is really "miserable" in one word.
"Bryant dribbled the ball from the top of the arc, broke through and reached the three-point line, and then turned around in the high post. Oh~, a beautiful turn. Kobe Bryant made a 19-foot emergency stop and jumped into the net!"
55-55.
"Curry dribbled the ball again, and it was Kobe. Kobe started to lead the defense just after halftime. The pace and courage were suffocating! Stephen Curry reluctantly made a hasty shot, and the basketball seemed to be touched by Kobe before it was touched.
It fell into the hands of a Lakers player when it reached the basket!"
"Bryant asked for the ball from the left wing. He firmly pressed Curry with his body. After receiving the ball, he turned around and shot backward. The ball went in."
"Los Angeles Lakers go ahead by 2 points!"
57-55!
"You can't stop me, you're too small, let's replace him, you lose." Kobe said as he walked past Curry after scoring.
Bastard! This bastard! That damn look again! Do you still look down on me???
Curry recalled the "humiliating look" his opponent gave him at the free throw line on March 15, 2010. In addition, he was blasted by Lakers No. 24 in several consecutive rounds, and Warriors No. 30's blood boiled!
He is not a weakling! He is not a weakling who gives up after a few challenges!
In this case, Stephen Curry stepped into "The.Zone"!
For the next ball, he took the ball and rushed wildly. Kobe didn't expect that the opponent would dare to try again after missing several goals. Without paying attention, his opponent rushed over from the sideline. No. 24 reacted quickly and immediately turned back.
In pursuit, with your own speed, you should be able to catch up with your opponent before they enter the three-point line.
But Kobe didn't expect that before the Warriors' No. 30 could completely stabilize his body, he just... lost the ball and took a shot!
Because it is a "one-stage shot", as long as there is no one in front of you, the shooting speed will be extremely fast!
Brush~
And the most incredible thing is that this ball was thrown in T.M.D???!!!
57-58!
"How's it going? I scored again! And it's a three-pointer!!!" After Curry saw the ball go in, he yelled at Kobe next to him. This is Curry's personality. He is actually extremely strong and competitive.
When Kobe saw Warriors No. 30 walking away, he was stunned at first, because he really didn't expect that the Warriors would dare to take a shot like this. But a few seconds later, a smile appeared on the corner of Kobe's mouth.
The long-lost excitement. Kobe actually has a big regret, that is, when Curry and Durant’s generation has fully grown up, he has aged and is no longer at his peak. Although his peak period has been very long and wide,
He has faced the challenges of several generations of rising stars, but after seeing the latest generation come out, he still couldn't help but gear up and feel the urge to compete in his heart.
Michael Jordan had this factor when he came back for the first time. He said that he saw some of the younger players growing up, so his heart and hands were itchy. To put it bluntly, he found someone to continue to suppress and to continue to dominate.
.
The same goes for Kobe. By the time Curry truly grew up, he was already completely out of control. A serious injury to his Achilles tendon completely pushed him down. Even though he was more than willing, he was no longer strong enough. This is what Barkley said, superstars and
The sadness of being a super giant when you grow old. When you can no longer defeat your opponent and ravage your opponent, that feeling is more desperate than eating shit.
Because you know in your heart that if you were at your peak, you would definitely be able to suppress your opponent and make them cry without tears.
But now, everything is reversed. You are defeated by someone you think you can defeat. This kind of pain is more psychological than real. This is how Kobe spent his last three years. He thought about struggling and thinking about
Fight back, but his broken body and aging body have long been unable to provide him with a basis for a fair fight.
Sad, deplorable.
But these problems are no longer a problem now, because he will be the best and strongest person so far.
Kobe even believed that his current self was enough to defeat the man who was once so high and always chasing after him.
If he still couldn't do it with more than ten years of experience, technical overview, and the peak of various statistics and abilities, Kobe thought he might as well just become a tofu snake.
As for whether it's fair or not, who told you that Michael Jordan didn't have this kind of luck and opportunity?
No wonder I am.
Kobe also entered "The.Zone". On the next ball, he continued to hit Curry with his back, one, two, three, and easily turned around and scored.
In terms of physical attributes, Kobe completely crushed Curry, regardless of whether Curry was angry or annoyed.
In terms of defense, Kobe was even more fierce than before, and the standard of defense had exceeded the standard of regular season defense. However, because the audience and the audience in front of the TV were watching it like crazy, for the sake of the "spectability" of the game, the on-site referees all agreed.
Unannounced and secretly, the penalty scale was relaxed.
This is also something David Stern has been working hard for since he took charge of the league.
Curry almost had the ball stolen. He finally reached the Lakers' 3-point line, but there was very little offensive time.
There was no other way, Curry had no choice but to force the ball, and the basketball hit the basket.
These were the only rebounds that appeared in the past few minutes. Of course, Tang Qian would not let it go and grabbed it. Then the Lakers reorganized their offense and slowly advanced forward.
On the offensive end, it's still Kobe who overpowers Curry with his back and easily scores from behind. In front of Kobe, who is at his peak, Curry's defensive ability and small body are not enough.
59-58.
The Warriors' offense failed again, and Kobe went in with Curry's back, and then played 2+1. Not only did he score, but he also caused a foul on David Lee, who came to defend.
Brushing~Additional penalty hit~
62-58.
"Is it okay? Boy? You have to know that even your dad is no match for me, let alone you?" Kobe is really outsmarting others. Curry's dad is actually not a particularly good NBA player, far inferior to what Curry is now.
Achievements and abilities, but the Lakers said this mainly to attack the latter's mentality on the 24th, deliberately making him embarrassed and losing his normal judgment and reason.
"Asshole! Asshole! Just wait! I'll shoot you with the next ball!" Curry was suppressed miserably, and he indeed lost his calmness and reason.
"Okay, come on if you can!" Kobe said with a smile, not taking his opponent's threat seriously at all.
Duel? One-on-one? Even if you practice for another ten years, you will not be my opponent!
Here again I have to talk about Warriors head coach Mark Jackson. If he had been replaced by Cole, he would have stopped Curry from playing randomly and helped Curry design the best tactical counterattack. Because of Curry’s true ability and real strength
, it is not a one-on-one duel at all, so he is actually not outstanding in the league, let alone going head-to-head with someone like Kobe.
This is completely an act of using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and using an egg to hit a stone.
Later, Curry was suppressed by Kobe, and the Lakers' scores continued to rise. At this moment, another person from the Warriors stepped forward. He was Klay Thompson. In the future, the "Splash Brothers" can dominate the league, but it will be difficult.
Make it so that both of them become inactive at the same time, and as long as one of them performs normally, the Warriors will not be defeated.
Brush ~ brush ~ brush ~
This guy actually hit three three-pointers in a row after he exploded???
And all of them are top shots, and they are not fake at all!
This made Steve Blake, who was guarding him, feel his heart was starving for oxygen!
What the hell??? Are the Warriors all crazy??? Just throwing three-pointers??? Not even looking at themselves???
No way, Steve Blake is too short, which allows Klay Thompson to take advantage of misplaced attacks.
The explosive power of "Tang Shen"'s three-pointers is definitely no less than Curry's, and even his strong shooting and overhead shooting abilities are slightly better.
After all, he is the holder of the single-game record for three-pointers in the future playoffs. Is this explosive ability false?
This means that Mark Jackson doesn't know how to use people. If David Lee is removed and replaced with Draymond Green, who is better at supporting and defending, then this team will immediately reach a higher level.
Therefore, it will be reasonable for Mark Jackson to leave in the future.
He cannot lead such a team with unlimited potential, and his trust in and research on three-pointers is far inferior to that of Steve Kerr.
Thanks to Klay Thompson's three three-pointers, the Warriors trailed the Lakers by only 2 points in the third quarter.
72-70, both sides took a short break and entered the 4th quarter.
And because both sides have a high shooting percentage, Tang Qian didn't catch a few rebounds in this quarter. His effectiveness and role are far from being revealed yet.
PS: This is the first update and also a supplementary update. Xiaozi will write the second update immediately!
