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

Chapter 33

The game started at two o'clock in the afternoon. The auditorium of the game was the most full. Curry's parents, brothers, and girlfriend Ayesha also came to watch the game.

An ordinary summer league was heated up because of the championship competition, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on the young players on both sides.

Min Congda lost money because he decided to spend 1000 million to make documentaries for the Clippers and Curry. He was not so fancy about the 200 yuan in today's game, so he rarely encouraged players to play seriously before the game started.

"This is a game that attracts everyone's attention. I think no one wants to lose. Play your style, boys. Especially you, Stephen, you are the No. [-] pick. Give that Griffin on the opposite side a little bit of color!"

Curry nodded after listening, but he was a little nervous inside, the pressure was really great.

Since he was selected, the public opinion has been overwhelmingly unfavorable. The fans have made various demeaning remarks about him, as well as Blake Griffin's outstanding talent on the field, like a stone on his shoulders.

He watched the data and videos of Griffin’s three games. His flying style and superman-like muscles belonged to an athlete who has been a star since he was a child on campus. Before the draft, Curry never dreamed that he could beat him this monster.

Of course, deep down, Curry was convinced that he would be a better player than him.

Curry let out a long sigh of relief before coming on stage, bouncing and shaking his hands to relax his muscles.

When the players were all on the field and ready to start the game, Min Congda returned to the auditorium. He said to Ada, "Ada, is Curry a little nervous tonight? I don't think he's smiling much."

Ada said: "I will definitely be nervous. A lot of media have come to the matchup with Griffin. His performance tonight will be observed repeatedly under a magnifying glass."

Min Congda nodded. He understands the pressure Curry is facing now. The University of Nevada gymnasium can accommodate more than 5000 spectators, and today it is all full.

There are more than 5000 people, and the darkness fills all sides. It is said that there are more than 2 spectators in the NBA arena, and the auditorium on the sidelines stands like a mountain.It is not easy to play under tens of thousands of eyes and TV cameras. Every good player must have a strong heart.

No matter how much Min Congda wants Curry to pull his hips and lead the team to dive for the top pick in the future, he hopes that Curry can perform well in today's game, so that his title of parallel import champion can come later.

Moreover, Min Congda believes that no matter whether the team wins or loses, Curry will definitely be overwhelmed by Griffin in terms of personal performance. He broke down too early.

This kid is pretty good, but he can eat a little, he is a little naughty, and he was a little bit lucky to meet me.

The game started in the jump ball, the Grizzlies are still a lineup of two power forwards, Griffin and Arthur partner inside.

Griffin came to the center position to face Jordan, and Kim Hughes arranged for Jordan to defend Griffin.

Xiao Danzi was still a little uneasy facing Griffin. This guy is the No. [-] pick. Although he is shorter than me, he looks much stronger than me. It must hurt to be bumped by him, right?

When jumping the ball, Griffin jumped higher than Jordan, but missed the ball because his arms were a bit short.

The Clippers launched their first offense. Curry held the ball from the outside, changed directions with continuous dribbles, and rushed to the inside with the first ball at the start!
Griffin immediately let go of Jordan to defend Curry, and Curry threw a high pass to the inside. Jordan understood, and it was time to play the flight attendant again!

The entire stadium is the tallest and the longest arms of Jordan, who stands out from the crowd, jumps in and catches the ball with both hands and dunks!He and Curry practiced this cooperative routine very proficiently. After scoring a goal, he shouted at Curry: "I can go higher, I can catch it!"

This kid is quite good at playing, but in the next few rounds he couldn't play anymore. Griffin began to attack the Clippers inside with the ball. The rookie Griffin already has very good offensive skills. Rough and strong, in fact, his technique is very delicate, his feet are flexible, and he is good at turning his back.

Jordan, who is tall and has a high center of gravity, can't deal with Griffin at all. Griffin catches the ball and turns around cleanly, and he hits the basket with one hand!
The fans at the scene cheered for a while, dunks are always the most shocking means of scoring on the court, and many fans came to the scene just to watch Griffin dunk.

The pressure came to Curry, and the audience on the sidelines yelled frantically, "Stephen Curry dunks too", "Steph, can you dunk!" "Curry, can you jump to the basket?"

Curry's mentality was affected. He chose to force a three-point shot from the outside. This was not a good shooting opportunity.

Griffin didn't pass the ball to his teammates, but dribbled the ball across the half court by himself. He skillfully controlled the ball. The Clippers' defense appeared hesitant. Who should guard Griffin?

Jordan was already running back to the three-second zone, and the outside players didn't have this awareness. As a result, Griffin suddenly accelerated, dribbled the ball into the basket and knocked away Jordan, who was half a beat slow in his reaction, and jumped high into another single. Arm dunk!

The gymnasium of the University of Nevada went crazy in an instant. The stadium with 5000 people was sometimes more lively than the stadium with 2 people.

Min Congda sat on the sidelines and watched the Clippers' defense, thinking: "This defensive formation is too rigid, no one is going to keep an eye on the ball holder? Don't keep an eye on people who are not your own? Open up so much space in the middle and play casually." Let people in, are you whores?"

Min Congda folded his hands on his chest with an unfriendly expression on his face. If this guy were to be a coach, he would have a poisonous snake and a bad mouth. But as a person of quality, he still restrained his dissatisfaction.

"I don't care about 200 yuan for this one. You guys will make me look good if you win. If you lose, I will take the money happily. Anyway, it's not a loss, it's not a loss."

Thinking this way in my heart calmed down the anger caused by the Clippers' poor defense.

But then, the Clippers made another bad offensive choice. Curry passed the ball to Gordon, and Gordon rushed in dully.As a result, Arthur was knocked down, an offensive foul was called, and a turnover gave the ball to the Grizzlies.

The start of the Clippers was a bit chaotic. Instead, the Grizzlies took Griffin as the core of the offense to grasp the situation. Griffin held the ball in a low position and hit the Clippers' three-second zone for the third time. This time he dribbled the ball and arched his back. , then turned around and walked to the bottom line, pushed Jordan away with his left hand, made a small hook with his right hand, and hit two points on the board!
Griffin scored 6 points in a row at the start, completely suppressing Curry in terms of personal performance!

Min Congda rubbed his hands nervously, thinking: "Curry, even if you are water, don't make it too ugly, just fight yourself a little bit, kid."
