I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 37 Special dribbling method

Min Congda was sitting in the empty locker room and could only understand the progress of the game through text messages on his mobile phone. Aida constantly sent the game situation and real-time scores at the scene.

"Curry hit a three-pointer in a fast break counterattack! We are only 4 points behind! 51:55!"

"Griffin committed an offensive foul. He knocked down Medley. We had the ball and the opportunity came."

"Curry made another three-pointer from the outside! This time it was a three-pointer behind a screen, 54:55, only 1 point away!"

The situation changed quickly in the second half. Curry made two consecutive three-pointers, narrowing the difference between the two sides to 1 point.

Min Congda found that it was good to watch text live broadcasts through mobile phone text messages. He would not be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and relatively speaking, he would not have such big emotional fluctuations.

He felt that as a general manager who expected the Clippers to go bankrupt, it would be better not to invest too much emotion in the players and the team. It would be bad if he started to hope that the team would win in his heart.

"I'll make an exception today. I have an income of 2,000 yuan, so I don't care about the 200 yuan. And Griffin is too bullying. We should teach them a lesson!"

"Curry, that brat, is pretty accurate with three-pointers. What the hell did the Grizzlies defend against, and why didn't Griffin score? Does Kim Hughes know how to use Medley to defend Griffin?

"

"It seems not..."

But Curry didn't break through at all. Instead, he suddenly stopped outside the three-point line and then quickly shot!

With lightning-fast movements, dribbling, pausing, and shooting, the whole set of movements was smooth and silky, without any extraneous parts. The ball flew straight to the basket without any stagnation. It passed directly through the center of the net, and it was continuous.

The basket was not touched.

In comparison, Griffin's performance in the second half was bad enough. Medley's gummy defense made him miserable. In the end, he couldn't help but push Medley during the offense and almost won the second place.

A technical foul was ejected.

Min Congda looked at the text message uploaded on his phone, got up and paced in the locker room. The point difference between the two sides became smaller and smaller.

The Clippers gradually reversed the situation on the court.

"Yeah, I think three-pointers are pretty cool, right? It's not just dunks that make them exciting."

This player who was selected with the 22nd pick in the first round of 2006 is still very capable, but he has some problems with his character, being too arrogant and arrogant. He was the boss of the team in college, which was the famous University of Connecticut.

Coming to the Nets to be Kidd's little brother made him a little unconvinced.

On the court, Curry's defense against Marcus Williams was not very successful. Marcus Williams is the same height as Curry, 1.9cm, but he is obviously much stronger than Curry.

The reason why Curry dribbles with a high center of gravity and a high shooting point is not because of his poor dribbling skills or bad habits, but because he can better make emergency jump shots!

54:55, one point behind.

A person who is Jordan in his own story is likely to be nothing when he comes to the NBA.

The NBA is so cruel. In the eyes of many people, if Stephen Curry cannot perform well, he will end up similar to his opponent Marcus Williams.

This is a dribbling-shooting action specially designed for him by his father, Dell Curry, when he was very young, in order to give his son superior dribbling and emergency shooting abilities!

"Curry broke through to the basket, succeeded in a layup, and also caused a foul, Griffin, and one!"

This is completely different from many small guards who are excellent at dribbling. In order to break through better and faster, those small guards often have a very low center of gravity and a low shooting point. The ball cannot reach the waist line or even below the knees.

This makes them lightning fast and fly close to the ground.

"Hey, that guy's three-point shot is really accurate, and he does it so fast."

Curry was then intercepted by Marcus Williams during the offense. He used strong physical confrontation to steal the ball from Curry and went straight to the basket for a layup. Unexpectedly, Curry was chasing after him.

Reluctantly, he knocked the ball out of Williams' hand from behind!

At the same time, another characteristic of Curry when dribbling forward is that his center of gravity when dribbling is relatively high, his back is not completely bent, and the point where his hand hits the ball is above the knee to reach the waist.

Unlike some second- and third-rate defenders, dribbling without confrontation is as beautiful as it is, and they are full of tricks. Once there is confrontation, their true colors are revealed. It is difficult to stumble through half a court, let alone advance quickly with the ball like this.

, while passing halftime, he still looked up to observe his teammates, without having to lower his head to watch the ball at all.

"Curry fast break! Didn't score, dunked... 85:74, we are 11 points ahead."

Although he still looks so frail and looks like a high school student in a baggy jersey, no one dares to ignore his energy anymore.

Min Congda watched the Clippers gradually turn the score over, and Curry scored more and more points, and his mood became complicated again.

The Nets once focused on cultivating him, but after two seasons he showed no significant improvement and waived him. As a result, a former UConn genius guard had to hang out in the summer league in order to get a chance to get a short contract.

This was Curry's third three-pointer in the third quarter. The Clippers tied with the Grizzlies 57:57!

Most of the audience in the University of Nevada Stadium were dumbfounded. Many people came to support Griffin, but Curry's performance in the second half was conquering the audience.

Griffin caught the ball and was about to dribble and sit in, but Medley came and pulled the stool. Griffin stumbled and fell to the ground, and the ball in his hand also dropped...

Min Congda kept receiving messages from Aida in the locker room:

At this time, Griffin had not played for a long time in the second half. After serving from the baseline, he blocked Medley with his back and asked Williams for the ball. Williams lobbed a pass to Griffin in the low post.

The fans at the scene began to communicate with each other, and Curry's performance gave people a refreshing feeling.

At 54:57, the Grizzlies returned to a relatively safe point difference advantage.

"I think so too. He really dares to shoot. Has anyone ever shot a three-pointer like this before?"

But then, Marcus Williams of the Grizzlies broke through the basket and caused a foul on Jordan, and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Curry dribbled past the midline and observed his teammates. They didn't have a good chance, but Marcus Williams was running towards the three-point line to prevent Curry from breaking through.

The ball went out of bounds, and the Grizzlies still had the ball. Curry came close to entangle Marcus Williams. His defense was more active and tougher than in the first half, and he was not afraid of Williams, who was stronger than him.

He sent a text message to Ada, "Ada, I won't watch the game anymore. Take me back to the hotel."

Curry's body may lack confrontation, but he is not afraid of confrontation. He does have limited talent on the defensive end, but his defensive attitude is not a problem. He will make it no longer easy for Williams to score.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Medley bent down to pick up the ball and immediately threw it to Curry. Curry quickly advanced with the ball... Curry is not the kind of defender who is as fast as lightning, but his combination of man and ball is very strong, and he can advance with the ball.

He is completely free from defensive interference and can accelerate forward, which shows that his basic dribbling skills are extremely solid.

"Curry received a pass from Gordon, hit a mid-range jumper, faked, beautiful, 77:67!"

"Don't you want to see it? Curry has already scored 25 points. His performance is really wonderful."

"Let them celebrate after winning. I don't want to disturb them. Send me back."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

The Clippers won this game, Curry took it out, and Min Congda also felt he took it out, but what next?

Is it possible that watching Curry play at a price worthy of the No. 1 pick will make the Clippers better and better?

Absolutely! Go back quickly and think of a way to create some difficulties for Curry's growth.
