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

Chapter 58 I am a very strict person

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33:22. The Lakers easily led the Clippers by 11 points.

As Min Congda thought, the Clippers' defense in the backcourt could not contain Kobe at all. Kobe opened the score with a little effort.

And Baron Davis lost his measure under the double-team defense of the Lakers. He made [-] of [-] shots in the first quarter and made no achievements except a throw.

While eating the popcorn bought by Ada, Min Congda silently pointed Jiangshan in his heart:

"Our Clippers lineup, if we want to fight the Lakers, we can only make a fuss about the two positions of point guard and power forward. The No. 2 bald head of the Lakers is weak in defense and moves slowly. Power forward Gasol does not play, Odom's size is a disadvantage, defense is an issue. So it's up to Davis and Randolph."

"But Balang's condition is really not good. This kid is very fierce in the nightclub. How come his legs are weak when he is on the court? Rotten tofu... If he plays well, it will be bad for the Clippers. This guy is Tumor, I don't know if Dunleavy put him in the starting lineup, whether he is making trouble or not."

In fact, Randolph played well in the first quarter. He made 4 of 3 shots on the offensive end and was the most stable scoring point for the Clippers.

It's just that Min Congda can trust Randolph's cancerous attributes, that is, he beat a racist that night, otherwise he might still be in prison now.

On the Clippers' bench, Dunleavy made lineup adjustments, replacing Randolph and Davis with Marcus Camby and Stephen Curry.

"Stephen, it's your turn to play, kid." Dunleavitt instructed Curry.

No matter how the outside world comments on him, no matter what everyone thinks of him, Curry is this year's No. [-] pick after all.

He received a lot of attention. When he took off his coat and was about to go on stage, many fans got up and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

The commentary of the TV station also said: "Oh, the Clippers have replaced this year's controversial No. [-] pick Stephen Curry. His controversy is as big as the general manager Smart Min who chose him. Let's take a look at his What will the debut show be like?"

In fact, most people don't have too high expectations for Curry's debut, because even Michael Jordan, the number one superstar in history, played 40 minutes in the first game, but scored 15 points in 6 of 16 inefficiently.

Kobe, came off the bench in the first game of his career, did not score a point, got 1 rebound, 1 block, 1 turnover and 1 foul, 4 1s.

Curry's family came to the sidelines to watch the game. His old father, Dell Curry, wore the Clippers' No. 30 jersey and was extremely nervous.

My son will play against the Lakers in the first game of the new season against Kobe. I hope it will not be too ugly to face Kobe. Kobe likes to compete with young people. Curry looks baby-faced, but in fact he has a terribly stubborn personality.

"Don't compete with Ke." Dell Curry prayed silently in his heart.

When Curry appeared on the court, Kobe was resting off the court, and Kobe directly shouted at Curry: "Stay on the court for a while, boy, I will be on the court soon! You must stay for a while, don't get down!"

Not to be outdone, Curry shot back: "You won't be sitting down for a while, and the coach will let you come back later!"

Curry doesn't like to talk trash, but it doesn't mean he won't respond verbally, especially Kobe who shouted at him.

At this time, the Lakers' point guard also changed from Fisher to Jordan Farmar, a dynamic guard.

Leaving aside Kobe, the Lakers' back line is really not that good. Fisher, Farmar, Vujacic, Shannon Brown, it can be said that the old is old, the small is small, the short is short, the soft is soft, every weakness All very obvious.

There is no player who can stand alone and support the backcourt when Kobe is off the court.

This aspect reflects Kobe's strength. Since he grew up, the Lakers have not invested heavily in the backcourt, and they are all minor repairs.

In the summer when Kobe was clamoring to leave in 07, the Lakers' biggest addition to the backcourt in the free market was to sign back the veteran fisher Fisher. No wonder Kobe wanted to leave.

Because Kobe alone can support the Lakers on both offense and defense, the Lakers can use more resources to pile up the frontcourt, switch to Gasol, and sign Artest. field striker.

In the second quarter, the Clippers began to attack. Curry touched the ball for the first time and held the ball steadily across the half.

Min Congda watched Curry take the ball, and shouted in his heart: "Throw a three-pointer in the past, throw a three-pointer, don't worry about it, just throw it! Release your nature and ego, and start hitting blindly, Stephen!"

Min Congda was thinking about Curry playing blindly and disrupting the team's tactical system, so that the Clippers' performance on the court would only get worse.

But Curry did not follow Min Congda's wish. He passed the ball to Marcus Camby who was supporting him in a high position, then cut to the basket to take away the defense, and ran to the left with the help of a screen. Camby passed the ball to Curry. Ri had moved a little away from Farmer.

After receiving the ball, Curry made a 45-degree mid-range jumper!

A crisp jumper, two points hit!
Curry quickly scored his first point in the NBA!
"Stephen Curry, he made a mid-range shot after catching the ball. The shot was beautiful, excellent movement, excellent catch and shot. Curry scored his first point in the NBA!"

ESPN TV's chief NBA commentator Mike Breen praised Curry's first point in his career so quickly and easily.

Min Congda frowned as he watched the ball, "What is the Lakers defending in the backcourt? This No. 1 defense has no pressure at all, and just lost a screen? Also, why don't the Lakers rotate? Camby is in the high position What's the point of staring at him when there's no offensive threat? Let him go and watch Curry, idiot!"

Min Congda faintly felt that there was a problem with the Lakers' backcourt defense, especially in the absence of Kobe, so don't let Curry shoot casually.

This kid can't do anything else, he is good at shooting, and it's really dangerous to let him miss it.

Later, the Lakers had problems with their offense, and the ball turned around and landed in Mbenga's hands.

Seeing that the attack time is coming, Mbenga can only make a mid-range shot by himself, how can he do this.

Missed the mid-range shot, the Clippers took the backcourt rebound, the ball was given to Curry, and Curry quickly counterattacked.

After Curry came on the court, the Clippers' offensive style changed, and they got faster all of a sudden.

Curry sprints upfield, Camby comes over and sets a pick-and-roll, and Curry dives inside.

The Lakers immediately shrank the line of defense, and Curry found a gap to pass the ball to Ricky Davis in the bottom corner, and Davis shot a three-pointer at a zero-degree angle on the right.

The Lakers, who shrunk their defense, didn't pay attention to Davis in the bottom corner, unguarded and wide open.

Three point hit!

After Curry played, he led the Clippers to chase 5 points in a row!
Phil Jackson noticed a problem. He didn't call a timeout in the entire first quarter, and he didn't call a timeout easily. He immediately called a short timeout.

The Clippers play very differently when Curry is on the floor.

Everyone is not very familiar with Curry and needs to adjust.

After playing for more than a minute and two rounds, the Lakers were stopped.

Curry's performance made David Stern's eyes shine. He turned sideways and wanted to say something to Min Congda, but saw Min Congda frowning and looking unhappy.

Just now when Curry scored the first goal of his career, Min Congda didn't respond, and he didn't get up to celebrate.

Stern said: "Smart, why are you so serious, did Curry not perform well just now?"

Min Congda was worried about the Lakers' defense. After hearing what Stern said, he came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "I...it's just two goals...the game is still long, I always Very strict guy, especially with Curry."
