Min Congda's court feeling is really first-class. This thing is purely innate and difficult to cultivate.
This may be related to some ancient genes in the human body. Some groups that are good at hunting have this keen sense of smell during confrontation, and can sense the approaching danger, or seize the right opportunity to kill.
Although modern human society has long since separated from the fishing and hunting civilization, these genes have been passed down and play a vital role in many fields, especially sports events.
Before time travel, Min Congda was just a bank clerk. He never had the opportunity to receive a good physical education in his life, and his talent was buried.
After traveling through time and coming to the United States, his talent seems to have been buried... This guy doesn't use his ability in the right way, and thinks about backstabbing his boss all day long.
The next moment Min Congda felt danger, Curry set up a pick-and-roll with Gasol in a high position, and O'Neal couldn't guard him at all.
He shot a three-pointer directly from the top of the arc and hit it easily!
88:87, only 1 point difference!
Curry's style of hitting a three-pointer directly from the top of the arc after a pick-and-roll is not common in the current league.
The opponent was really helpless when he came so unexpectedly, and most of the time he just turned around and grabbed rebounds.
But Curry is indeed very accurate. In his rookie season, his three-point shooting percentage has reached 43%.
His average number of shots per game is quite high, reaching 5.
Ray Allen, the best three-point shooter in history, currently has a career-best three-point shooting percentage of 43%.
This season, his three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 36%, and his condition is not very good.
Therefore, Curry has shown terrible characteristics in three-pointers.
But this did not attract too many people's attention, because the power of inertia is powerful.
Starting with Michael Jordan, the perfect standard for perimeter players was defined.
Super breakthrough ability, waist and abdominal strength that can pull the bar, and the ability to penetrate inside to cause damage at critical moments.
The unsolvable mid-range jump shot can kill the opponent when the inside is filled with muscles.
A three-pointer? That's just the icing on the cake, and the work the role players have to do.
A player who is good at shooting can only be a supporting role, and a team that is good at shooting cannot make it to the end.
This is an iron law that began after Jordan dominated the league in 1991. This concept has nourished a generation.
The young fans who grew up in that era, and the outstanding ones became stars, all molded themselves with this philosophy in mind.
Kobe is undoubtedly the best and most successful one among them, and is close to a perfect replica of Jordan.
Now Kobe dominates the league, which undoubtedly confirms the correctness of this standard.
It is repeated and emphasized over and over again by different coaches, commentators, experts, and even the fans themselves.
But they have forgotten, what about before Jordan dominated the NBA? Who rules this alliance?
An all-around player with two average breakthroughs, excellent passing ability, excellent shooting ability, average physical fitness, and extremely high golf IQ.
Before that, there were behemoths inside, the kings of the three-second zone.
When Jordan first entered the league, it was considered impossible to win a championship. He was not even the No. 1 pick.
In the end, the Chicago Bulls were the only team in history to win a championship without a super big man.
Standards are always going to be broken, but people always think of them as golden rules until they are broken by a genius.
When the old is broken and the new is established, over time, the new standard becomes the unbreakable old standard.
Curry has not been able to break this standard, and the Cavaliers still maintain a 1-point lead.
James personally held the ball through half the court, and faced Thornton's defense as if it was nothing.
He went straight to the basket from the middle. Before Gasol hesitated to close the door, he drove into the basket like a hot knife with butter and made an easy layup.
James's layup is extremely stable. You can pull or pull him in the air, and you will also send him to the free throw line and1.
Randolph and Gasol are very smart and don't have any tricks. Just go in. The 3-point difference can be recovered in one round!
A quick serve to Curry. Curry passed halftime and was still covered by a high post. This time it was Randolph.
One screen was not enough, the Cavaliers went up to grab the ball, and Gasol used another screen, coming to 45 degrees on the left side.
Curry adjusted his posture slightly, quickly shot the three-pointer again, the ball drew a high arc, and hit again!
90:90, the two sides are tied!
Curry made two consecutive three-pointers with ease and ease, bringing both sides back to the same starting line.
Min Congda let out a long sigh and thought to himself: "You guys who are basketball head coaches, how come you don't have any sense of the court? You surround the basketball every day, are the braised eggs around your neck all yellow inside?"
Min Congda really wronged him. Even if he had a sense of smell, he couldn't call a timeout before the fight started.
Only Popovich can do this. If he is not satisfied with the first round and feels something is wrong, he will call a timeout.
But they still have to play one round. If you don't play in one round, you will call a timeout... If Min Congda became a coach, he might have done something.
With two three-pointers, Curry increased his score to 20 points.
Don't underestimate the fact that a three-pointer is just one more point than a two-pointer. In terms of increment, a three-pointer is 50% better than a two-pointer.
The accumulation of this kind of increase is terrifying in terms of the final total score.
After two rounds to even the score difference, the pressure came to James' shoulders.
The Clippers' defense shrank completely, forcing James to miss a mid-range jumper.
When Curry got the ball again, the entire Cavaliers team felt nervous.
Scoring two three-pointers in a row brings a completely different sense of pressure than scoring two two-pointers in a row.
Dribbling to the frontcourt, the Cavaliers defender began to press in the half court, but Curry was not affected.
Flexible dribbling, making good use of teammates' screens, and passing the ball to Randolph before the double-team comes.
Randolph caught the ball under the basket and turned around and hit an easy hook. He scored two points and the Clippers took the lead!
A wave of efficient offense, an 8:2 offensive climax, beat the Cavaliers to a timeout.
"RNM, you have to call a timeout at this time, don't you know how to nip it in the bud?"
Min Congda felt very displeased when he saw Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown, and cursed him in his heart. He was even worse than Deng.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers strengthened their defense against Curry and fought closely, while James assisted in defense.
The two teams each wasted an opportunity. Curry's breakthrough with the ball from the outside was blocked by James rushing from behind!
The ball flew out of the baseline, and James showed off his muscles to the audience and Curry.
Curry was expressionless, using sideline ball tactics, and the Clippers played Indiana to cooperate.
Curry circled to the outside at 45 degrees, and through a series of runs, received Gasol's pass.
James ran toward him again, but Curry decisively shot a three-pointer. The big block just now did not affect his determination to take the shot at all!
The ball flew to the basket almost grazing James' fingertips. With a perfect arc, it once again penetrated the center of the Cavaliers' basket!
The third three-pointer in the fourth quarter and the fifth three-pointer in the game!
After scoring, Curry maintained his shooting posture for a while and shook his head.
90:95, the Clippers lead by 5 points.
At this time, Siakam Jr. sitting in the stands was stunned by Curry's consecutive three-pointers.
Looking at Curry's outstretched arm when shooting, he thought of the story in the Bible about David defeating the giant Goliath with a sling.
"Out of the Philistine camp came a man who was fighting, his name was Goliath. He was six cubits and a tiger's mouth tall. He had on a bronze helmet and armor weighing five thousand shekels. On his legs were two bronze kneepads. He carried a bronze halberd on his shoulder. The shaft of the spear was as thick as a weaver's shaft, and the iron head weighed six hundred shekels... David took a stone from his bag with his hand, swung it with the string, and struck an evil target. When a stone entered the soldier's forehead, he fell down with his face to the ground. So David defeated the Philistine by slinging the stone with his sling. But David had no sword in his hand." - "Old Times" Covenant” 1 Samuel, Chapter 17.
The game against the Cavaliers should be over in two or three chapters. In fact, I didn't want to write this game too long. I wrote three chapters and then continued the plot, but there were really too many places that Lao Zhan could write, and I couldn't stop them all at once.
(End of chapter)
