At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy directly replaced Curry.
Meanwhile, Baron Davis sat on the bench and his message was clear.
Stephen Curry, the team's control position in the fourth quarter will be left to you.
Play it to your heart’s content!
Before, Curry had to look at Baron Davis's "face" to play.
He used his easy 20-point performance in the first three quarters to prove that he can single-handedly lead the team's offense.
Min Congda just saw Curry on the stage, and he still had illusions in his heart:
"Stephen, it was just luck that you scored 20 points before, right? Okay, the fourth quarter has begun, you should get back to your original shape, you are such a weakling..."
But how did he know that Curry was holding back his energy and wanted to show it to Min Congda!
Mr. Smart didn't see his wonderful performance in the third quarter, and he didn't let you take a good look at it in the fourth quarter.
You made the right decision in the draft!
For Min Congda, this was tantamount to a public execution.
As soon as Curry got the ball in the fourth quarter, all he could see was the basket.
However, he did not act recklessly, but called Jordan to come over and block for him.
He used the rhythm to get to the basket, shook off the defender, avoided Jeffries' block, and succeeded in a layup!
Curry is not very fast, but his breakthrough rhythm is just right and full of changes.
If you stick up, I'll break out. If you give up a step and try to cover me, I'll throw. If you're flanked, I'll pass the ball.
The Knicks were in chaos, Gallinari missed a three-pointer from the outside and had a long rebound!
Curry gets it, holds the ball for another half, observes, slows down, calls for screens, picks and rolls, and then goes inside.
Attracting the Knicks' defense, he slid to the other side of the baseline, suddenly turned around and shot back to the basket, and succeeded in a reverse layup!
The Knicks defended the three-second zone, and Min Congda slapped his thigh directly.
"Wori, Knicks, is your three-second zone the suburbs of BJ in the late Ming Dynasty? The Tatars come and leave whenever they want. You have to stand up! Stand up!"
Although Curry shoots accurately, he does not blindly force the shot.
The bald head must be combined so that the opponent can't figure out the pattern and find the pulse.
Only then can you play with your opponent in the palm of your hand, allowing you to come and go freely, and score like crazy.
The only one who can respond in the Knicks offense is David Lee.
He appeared early again in the fourth quarter to support the Knicks' offense.
He got the ball at the top of the arc, broke through the basket after a fake screen, and succeeded with a right-hand throw.
This kind of scoring two points based on personal ability is really hard work.
It was the Clippers' turn to attack, 84:72, and the Clippers had a 12-point lead.
When Curry got the ball, it was obvious that the Knicks players were a little nervous.
D'Antoni was also very nervous on the sidelines, shouting: "Keep an eye on him, keep an eye on him! Inside, don't give him a chance to break through!"
Curry observed the situation on the court, and it seemed to him that the Knicks' defense was full of loopholes.
Duhon's defense lacked oppressiveness and did not put enough pressure on him to allow Curry to think.
Dribbling under the crotch to adjust the rhythm, Curry still chooses to break through with his left hand. His thin body makes his breakthrough seem to have no impact.
However, he was flexible and agile and still got into the Knicks' three-second zone. The four Knicks shrank to guard him!
Is this Curry? This is O'Neal.
But Curry is not O'Neal. He can't dunk the ball into the basket with four people on his back.
So he would choose to pass the ball to Ricky Davis, who had been waiting in the corner for a long time.
Davis caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!
Another spot-up three-pointer from Ricky Davis!
Rickey barely made any offense with the ball tonight.
He's all about defense when he's on the court, moving the ball and waiting for opportunities in the corners.
Unless the Clippers' tactics are really not working out, he will only play once the ball is in his hands.
87:72, the score difference widened to 15 points.
To be honest, the Clippers' defense is not very good.
But the Knicks' offense was really stretched tonight.
If the Knicks want to chase points in the fourth quarter, the key is to be able to defend.
It won’t work if you enter by yourself.
Outside David Lee hit another mid-range hit.
87:74, David Lee has scored 26 points tonight.
Not bad in terms of scoring, and limited Randolph very well.
But tonight belongs to Stephen Curry.
As soon as Curry got the ball, the Knicks panicked again.
Min Congda was also panicked.
"How else are you going to score? You don't want to just shoot a three-pointer...Hey!"
Just as Min Congda was thinking about it, Curry faced Du Hong from the outside but saw that the other party didn't follow up.
If he was frightened by the breakthrough, he would shoot a three-pointer from the top of the arc quickly!
The ball is like a shooting star, passing through the clouds and shooting towards the moon, hitting the center of the basket!
After the goal, Curry yelled at Min Congda and hit his chest.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? Can't I see that you want to score a goal?"
There were tears in Min Congda's eyes. Whether he was excited, moved or sad, no one knew.
90:74, the score difference came to 16 points!
D'Antoni couldn't sit still and called a timeout.
And the Knicks fans at the scene couldn't sit still.
They cheered loudly, shouting "Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!"
Obviously, Curry's performance made New York fans switch sides!
Knicks fans have not been very loyal in recent years.
If your own team is too bad, then you might as well support the away team and its stars.
Whoever's performance is shocking enough and good enough will be cheered by Knicks fans fair and square.
Last year, Kobe Bryant scored 61 points at Madison Square Garden, breaking Bernard King's record.
All the fans chanted MVP.
Just two days later, the Cleveland Cavaliers visited Madison.
LeBron James honored Kobe Bryant with a 50-point scoring feast.
The Knicks players really don't know who they are provoking.
If you two want to compete, won't it be over when the Lakers beat the Cavaliers?
What's the matter with taking it out on me? How about getting bonus points for beating me?
Although Curry failed to have a scoring carnival like those two big guys tonight.
But his stunning performance tonight was enough to prove that he is a rising star.
In the future, he will definitely play his own masterpiece in this holy land of basketball.
Curry hit the three-pointer and then fouled and hit two free throws, bringing his score for the game to 30 points.
This is his first 30 points this season, the 25th game of his career, and 30+ points are unlocked!
When Curry was replaced and took a break, the audience applauded and cheered him.
Scoring 30 points in Madison is not an achievement, but if it were the No. 1 pick, it would be Stephen Curry.
It's different for New Yorkers, it's their white moonlight.
And this white moonlight is now Min Congda's rice grain.
However, Min Congda still got up and went to the bench to congratulate Curry, shake hands and hug him.
Curry is happy from the bottom of his heart. He feels that he has lived up to Smart's expectations!
Min Congda's mentality is much better now, and his acting skills have also improved.
No matter how unhappy I am, I have to accept the current reality.
"There are still many days to come, let's see!"
Min Congda, who has always wanted to be strong in his life, will never be convinced! Never surrender!
