Curry's buzzer-beating three-pointer poured another spoonful of oil into the hot Staples Center, making the fire even more intense.
In the VIP room on the top floor, Staples Center owner Anschutz watched Curry hit a super long three-pointer and couldn't help but applaud gently.
Anschutz rarely watches Clippers games. He only came to Staples to watch the game before the Clippers played the Lakers.
What he wants to watch in this game is naturally LeBron James. James' performance is well deserved and he is the most popular superstar in the league.
But Stephen Curry's performance was equally exciting, and Anschutz applauded.
"Curry is a player who really has a promising future, and the way he plays is really unique."
Anschutz took another high look at the Clippers and the Clippers management, and his interest in this team gradually increased.
The two sides entered the intermission, and Anschutz snapped his fingers at the bodyguard and said: "Go and order me a red-headed boots steak, medium rare. Hurry up and make it hot."
Last time Christopher gave Anschutz free steak and pizza, but Anschutz refused to eat it because of the big shot's face.
Beckham was full of praise after eating it. Later, when he went to watch the game at Staples, he specially asked his entourage to order one.
After tasting it, I found that it was really good and had a very authentic Italian taste.
With Anschutz's identity and status, he has never eaten anything delicious, and he has tasted the most expensive and best steaks.
The steak at Red Head Boots isn't the best, but at a place like Staples, it's perfect.
Because this steak gives people the feeling of being cooked in a home kitchen.
Eating meals cooked by his family and sitting in front of the TV watching football games, Anschutz has not had this experience for a long, long time.
He even developed some interest in the chef who cooked the steak. Later, the bodyguard said that she seemed to be an Italian woman who still had some charm.
This increased Anschutz's interest in the restaurant, and he is now a regular customer.
Near the start of the second half of the game, Anschutz ate hot Italian pan-fried steak, and the wanton aroma seemed to come from home.
Anschutz took over his father's footsteps and engaged in the oil business at the age of 21. He has been fighting in the capital market his whole life and is a money giant.
Ordinary family life is very far away for him, existing only in the extremely weak memories of his childhood, as pale as the relationship between Kobe and his parents.
And the little bit of family memories a steak evokes is very useful to people in their late teens like Anschutz.
It's really a pleasure to eat steak, watch the exciting game, and drink a glass of wine.
At the end of the halftime break, players from both sides returned to the court.
The third quarter is a crucial quarter, after experiencing the first half of testing and finding the state.
The battle between the two sides in the third quarter will determine the final trend of the normal game.
The Clippers have a two-point lead, which is so weak that it almost doesn't exist.
At the beginning of the second half, James held the ball 45 degrees on the left side, and after a triple threat, he broke through the basket with his left hand.
Successful dunk with both hands!
This ball O'Neal went to the back side to open up space.
The three-second zone was completely empty, with Thornton alone defending.
How could Thornton be able to guard against James' first move.
Once he passed, he was unstoppable and easily dunked to tie the score.
Curry immediately retaliated, and in the third quarter he began to strengthen his personal offense.
When breaking through the high pick-and-roll, Curry is not fast and has little power.
He relies on rhythm and superb dribbling skills to disrupt the defender's steps.
Once the defender becomes disorganized, Curry will launch a surprise attack.
He suddenly stopped and took a mid-range jump shot. The ball hit the board and scored two points.
"Very beautiful!"
Mike Dunleavy was very satisfied with Curry's shot.
This shot looks so much like Sam Cassell.
They are all players with relatively thin bodies and average speed.
Breakthroughs rely on rhythm and dribbling to disrupt defenders.
Then he finished with a sudden pull-up jump shot.
It's just that the difference in appearance between the two is a bit big.
One has a baby face and big eyes, cool yet cute.
One has a bald head and a big mouth, and he is an alien.
Min Congda also knew Sam Cassell, and he almost didn't scare him when he saw the photo.
"Deng has always said that Curry is like Cam Cassel. Isn't this a curse on Curry? But the highlight of Cassel's career was in his first two years as a rookie, when he went to the Finals with the Rockets and won the championship. After that, he can only be said to be so-so. It’s okay, he’s a good second- and third-level player. If Curry only reaches this level, I can still accept it.”
Min Congda thought that Curry's potential was limited and it would be good to be Cassel.
After playing in the league for more than ten years, he will have money and honor. In the future, he will be sent to other teams to win a championship.
I was worthy of him and did not kill him.
Unlike Curry who uses skill to win, James simply uses force to win.
He faced Thornton with the ball in the high post, and Thornton was a little panicked when he looked at him.
James dribbled the ball, accelerated his breakthrough, and passed Thornton directly!
Randolph came to help defend, and James turned his back!
This back-turn was not clean and neat, and it did not pass Randolph.
He just grabbed a position.
However, this position is enough.
James pushed hard with his body, and the strong Randolph was pushed back three steps by James, directly out of the baseline.
The referee didn't call a foul on this ball. It was a good ball. The basket was empty. James dunked hard with one arm!
How can this **** be a small forward? This ball is exactly how O'Neal played back then.
Take the ball, turn around and grab a position, then step forward and use your body to force the opponent away, and dunk hard under the basket.
It wouldn't matter if it was Curry who was squeezed, but it was Randolph who was knocked out of the bottom line.
The heavy tank inside the Clippers was easily pushed away by James and took several steps back.
Although this goal was due to Randolph's unstable center of gravity, it is impossible for ordinary forwards to have this kind of power.
If an ordinary small forward uses this action to get to the basket, he will most likely be covered by Randolph and unable to find space to shoot.
Those with strong skills will use their feet and feints to find space to shoot.
And James will defeat him ten times with all his strength. No matter how you defend yourself, you can all attack him.
The on-site commentator exclaimed: "This player is incredibly strong. How to stop him? How to stop him?"
Min Congda, who was watching the game on the sidelines, gave the answer: "Stop him? Stop him. The Cavaliers are so mediocre. Use offense to kill them. Offense is the best defense. If the lineup is dominant, I have to take the lead." , how can you revolve around your opponent and let your opponent seize the initiative?"
On this point, Lao Deng has the same idea as Min Congda. If the Clippers want to win against the Cavaliers, they must attack.
It is foolish to focus on "how to contain James". After all, the Clippers' lineup has advantages.
The Cavaliers are also quite sad. When playing against the Clippers, who are ninth in the Western Conference, their lineup does not have an absolute advantage.
The opponent still wants me to be the main player. What kind of first place in the Eastern Conference is this?
