Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 32 I'm Here

It's not just that Stephen Curry is young.

Starkville High School's starters are all seniors, and the growth brought about by their age makes each of them taller than 180.

Curry, who is only in his early 170s, stood opposite them, looking even thinner.

It made people even more suspicious of whether he had graduated from primary school.

However, those who had doubts were the students who didn't pay much attention to the St. Mary's High School basketball team. Those who were familiar with the basketball team knew that this "primary school student" who looked thin and immature was actually the son of NBA player Dell Curry, an absolute "second generation star".

Those who knew this also included the media reporters at the scene and the scouts in the auditorium.

Therefore, at this moment, the eyes of the audience are all on Stephen Curry, wanting to see the basketball strength of this "second generation star", and wanting to see if he can have an eye-catching performance in the high school league.

Even though he is only a freshman in high school, because of his status, everyone can't wait to come to a conclusion.

This is the pressure that the "Star II" needs to bear.

Of course, compared to Michael Jordan's son, Stephen Curry has much less pressure to bear. At least the reporters will not make a special trip to stare at him, who is only a freshman in high school. It is only on such occasions that they saw him and remembered that he is Dell Curry's son.

The same goes for the scouts, who undoubtedly came for Woody tonight, but at this moment many of them have written a new line in their scouting notes, writing Stephen Curry's name.

Starkville's No. [-] guard against Stephen Curry looks like a seasoned veteran.

The first time Stephen Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, he pounced on it, trying to use confrontation to interfere with Stephen Curry's dribbling and team organization.

But at the same time as he stepped forward, Stephen Curry made a skillful change of direction in front of his body, and the ball in his right hand stagnated slightly in the air, and his whole body stagnated at the same time.He immediately changed direction and returned the ball to his left hand.

After the beautiful "front double change" opened his body, Stephen Curry lowered his body's center of gravity. At this time, his small size advantage was revealed.

The No. [-] Starkville High School had no choice but to quickly move sideways to prevent Curry from going further, but the result was a "bang" sound. His whole body seemed to hit a wall. He staggered and finally stood still, looking at the "wall" that blocked him...

It's Woody!
When Stephen Curry made a "double change in front of the body", he quickly stepped forward to gain a foothold and made a very good pick-and-roll for Stephen Curry.

After stopping Curry to match up, Woody turned around and made a run down.

Steph Curry attracted the Starkville [-] who was facing Woody, and Woody had a good opportunity to go straight to the basket. Curry didn't hesitate and threw the ball towards the backboard.

"Bah!"

Outlaw saw the trajectory of Curry's pass, and was still thinking about whether to try to intercept it. There was already a sound of exploding the basket. Woody, who went down the penalty area, took off with one foot, grabbed the ball with one hand, and slammed it into the basket.

empty link!

It's empty pick again!

Just like the last game, Woody once again "air bombed the field"!
The difference is yes, the last time it was LeBron James' breakthrough and Woody completed the "air catch dunk", this goal was the tacit cooperation between Stephen Curry and him.

"Nice!"

Woody pointed to Stephen Curry.

Curry also pointed back at Woody.

Although this is the first time they have cooperated in an official game, as far as their tacit understanding is concerned, this kind of cooperation is already a small case!
Drew was also shouting "nice".

Recently, he is teaching Woody basic basketball tactics. The most important thing he talked about recently is the "pick-and-roll" tactic.

This ancient and primitive tactic was carried forward after Jerry Sloan joined Salt Lake City and became the head coach of the Jazz. Stockton and Karl Malone, the "Utah Shuangsha", relied on this most basic tactic to reach the finals twice.

To this day, the pick-and-roll tactic is still the most commonly used tactic when inside and outside players cooperate on the court.

Under normal circumstances, the outside player holds the ball, and the inside player puts up the high position to do a "wall" screen for "blocking".

"Dismantling" not only means that the two sides start to move in the "pick and roll", but also means "dismantling" the opponent's defensive formation.

Whether "pick-and-roll tactics" can create lethality, "blocking" is the key, and "rolling" is the key among the keys.

After Woody finished "blocking" this round, he "dismantled" very simply, and immediately made a downward move towards the penalty area, and only then did he have this chance to score.

Of course, Stephen Curry's ability to seize this opportunity is also crucial, proving that he is also very familiar with pick-and-rolls.

But this is relatively normal, after all, he has been on the sidelines since he was a child.

Ok……

This is another very helpless place of "Star II":
There are areas where when he's good, it seems like it should be.

LeBron James watched Woody and Stephen Curry complete such a beautiful cooperation when they came up. Hearing the frequent camera snapping sounds in his ears, his expression became more serious, and he gave Joyce a hard look.

Fortunately, Starkville High School retaliated neatly in the next round.

Their overall strength is indeed much higher than that of Clifton J. Ozen High School, and their cooperation with each other is very patient and disciplined.Including Outlaw, in the last 6 seconds to prepare for his own shot, Woody slid in front of him to complete the interference, and after forcing him to pass the ball, the teammate who received his ball was actually able to complete the shot at the buzzer.

2-2 level!
Seeing the opponent play so well, LeBron James calmed down a lot.

In just this round, he could see the strength of Starkville High School. Even if he came to lead St. Mary High School, it would be very difficult to win.

And there is good news...

The little old man from Starkville High School on the sidelines doesn't look like a dry meal.

It was St. Mary's turn to attack again. This guy kept emphasizing running positions on the sidelines until the Starkville High School players stood up in a defensive formation that he was satisfied with. Then he stood on the sidelines and waited for the result.

Stephen Curry and Woody still cooperate with the pick and roll this time.

But this time, Starkwell's No. [-] position has long been prepared, and Woody has just practiced the pick-and-roll. The quality of the screen is not very good, and he was counter-blocked.

However, Woody's mind turned quickly, and he immediately sank to the basket and opened his hands for the ball.

Because he moved up to the high post and had just completed an excellent "pick-and-roll lob dunk," the Starkville high school head coach deliberately moved up the entire defensive formation when they set up this time. Their paint is relatively weak.

Curry took a step forward and barely passed the ball into Woody's hands.

The next scene once again proved that the head coach of Starkville High School has regarded Woody as a "thorn in the side".

Their No. [-] and No. [-] positions immediately double-teamed Woody, and at this moment, Woody immediately hit the ball outside the three-point line on the wing, where Stephen Curry was just at the top of the arc.

When did he go there?
Even some spectators on the sidelines didn't notice Stephen Curry's movement.

Not to mention the No. [-] position facing Stephen Curry, his eyes were attracted by Woody holding the ball for a moment, and after this moment, he looked at Stephen Curry again...

Eh?
What about people?

"Shh!"

After receiving the ball, the three-pointer fell straight into the basket, and Stephen Curry used the goal to inform the looking around players:
I'm here!
　The second update, brothers, ask for votes! ! ! !
