ALL NOVEL Chapter 51
【51】The wrong target from the beginning!
5 3-pointers in a single quarter.
15 points in a single quarter.
Curry's touch exploded tonight, and he began to take shape as a precise shooter.......Although Su Mo didn't attack much in this quarter, he still scored 11 points.
When the Blazers focused on Curry, Su Mo scored more easily.......
Although Curry and Su Mo combined to score 26 points.
Trail Blazers (69): (65) Warriors.
Halftime ended.
The Warriors were still 4 points behind. Why?! Because only Su Mo and Curry played well for the Warriors tonight. Ellis, Jackson and even others were not in good shape. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers.
Although Curry scored a lot of points on the defensive end and Su Mo's attacks were frequently missed, the"Big Three" led by Roy still played well on the offensive end.
Roy's versatility.
Aldridge's mid-range shot, and Oden who took the initiative despite the injury in the face of the average Biedrins.
You know.
Last season, the Trail Blazers were the third strongest team in the West, while the Warriors were outside the top ten. The overall lineup of the team was quite different, and the 4-point difference was already a good performance.
Halftime break.
Warriors locker room
"Yes, Curry's three-point shooting was too accurate tonight. The Blazers' mentality might collapse."
Jackson laughed.
"It's okay, they were all open shots, if they didn't go in, it would be too unfair to my teammates."
Curry smiled.
Modest and low-key.
Ellis pursed his lips and said:"Today it was all thanks to Su Mo and Curry, otherwise we might have collapsed in the first half."
"Yes."
Jackson nodded:"Curry's three-pointer and Su Mo's attack on the basket did score a lot of points for his teammates."
"Huh?!"
Su Mo frowned, looked at Ellis, and said:"Ellis, why do you look so depressed?!"
"I missed a lot of shots today."
Ellis shook his head, blaming himself:"Otherwise we wouldn't be behind."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone has bad moments."
Su Mo shrugged.
"That's right."
Jackson didn't take it seriously and said with a smile,"My shooting was not good tonight, so I didn't shoot. It would be good to give more opportunities to these new players."
"Besides, he is a rookie with explosive strength."
"This will make them grow faster."
After that, he gave Su Mo a look, meaning......Although I praise you, you should not be so proud.
Su Mo was too lazy to pay attention.
However, Ellis' heart sank.
"Yes, when you are not feeling well, you should give others the chance."
"There was no other way before. No one on the team stepped up to score. I had to attack as much as possible, even if it was a strong attack, at least there was a chance to create a foul."
"But it's different now. The team now has Curry, who is very accurate in three-point shooting, and Su Mo, who is a combination of talent and strength."
"I should give them more offensive opportunities instead of just attacking myself. Winning is the most important thing, and the team's further development is the kingly way."
Buzz!
It was like a word awakening a dreamer.
Monta Ellis figured it out and felt relieved after hearing Jackson's casual words.......
Trail Blazers bench
"Curry? Today's No. 7 pick, isn't this 3-pointer a little too accurate?"
Oden shook his head and sighed. Curry's
5 consecutive 3-pointers really dealt a big blow to the Trail Blazers, even though they were still leading by 4 points.
We haven't entered the small ball era yet, and although 3-pointers have become a regular means, most players still believe in more reliable breakthroughs and mid-range shots in terms of offensive subjective consciousness.
Therefore,
Curry's 5 consecutive 3-pointers will be more amazing.
"We must keep a close eye on Curry in the second half. We must not let down our guard just because he is a rookie. With his physique, if we put some defensive pressure on him, our offensive efficiency will definitely drop sharply."
Aldridge analyzed.
"Yes."
Oden and others nodded in agreement.
At this time, head coach Nate McMillan came in, came to Roy, and said seriously:"Roy, in the second half, you defend Su Mo and lock him down."
"I understand."
Roy nodded. That's exactly what he meant.
""Huh?"
Last year's rookie Jerry Bayless was slightly confused,"Coach, Curry is clearly having a breakout, why are you guarding Su Mo?!"
"Of course."
Roy explained solemnly,"Curry's 3-pointers were almost all made under the control of Su Mo, which means that Su Mo used his offense to divert too much defense attention."
"Curry got a good chance to shoot"
"If Su Mo is not locked down, Curry will always have a chance"
"Right." McMillan nodded and took over the conversation,"Also, don't forget that even if Curry hit 5 3-pointers, he only scored 18 points, while Su Mo looked ordinary and had already scored 21 points."
"Although Ellis is the leader of the Warriors, judging from Su Mo's recent performance, he is more like the leader of the team, but he is very low-key. From the beginning, you have been targeting the wrong person."
The last sentence is what McMillan said to Roy.
"Got it."
Roy nodded and said,"In the second half, I won't give Su Mo a chance."......
Second half.
Change of sides.
Warriors have the ball
"Su, I'm not feeling good tonight, you come and attack!"
Ellis, who had been released, took control of the ball and passed it to Su Mo.
""Step!"
At the same time, Roy stepped forward, stared at Su Mo, smiled and said:"Hey, rookie, you played well tonight, I think I have to teach you a lesson"
"Is there a charge?!"
Su Mo replied with a faint smile
"Huh?"
Roy was stunned by this unusual answer, and said for a moment:"It's free, but the price is that you can't score tonight."
"So that's it."
Su Mo thought about it and chuckled,"That doesn't seem to work.
"
""Whoosh!"
Su Mo shrugged and accelerated, turning into lightning and rushing out
"Wow, the rookie Su Mo was not afraid of the"Yellow Mamba" Roy. He chose to attack head-on, took a strong step forward but then retreated to advance, facing Roy's defense and taking a step back to shoot."
"Is there?!"
