Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 187 Confrontation and Doubt

Lawson was originally standing two steps outside the three-point line, waiting for Curry to arrive.

For ordinary opponents, he usually defends on the three-point line.

But since it was Curry, Lawson took two more steps out with great dignity.

This is respect for Curry!

Although he has not yet become the frightening Curry, in just one season, Curry has proved that he is a top shooter.

As a peer, Lawson recognized Curry's shooting skills very much, so he stood in such an outside position for defense.

But what he didn't expect was that the elementary school student stopped the ball just after halftime!

[What is this for? ]

This idea not only appeared in Lawson's mind, but other players on the field (including Warriors players), as well as fans at the Toyota Center, also raised the same question.

Under the gaze of the audience, Curry used standard shooting movements to complete the shot near the Rockets logo!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

The ball flies a long distance and has a high arc, giving the illusion of time standing still.

finally...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

4:3, the Warriors opened!

After the goal, Curry tapped his chest twice with his right hand and then pointed to the sky, which is his most common celebration.

As soon as the goal was scored, Larry Riley in the stands finally stretched his brows, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This kind of three-pointer, haven't you seen it? This is how confident you are in your shooting, so you can shoot a three-pointer from such a long distance when there is so much left in the attack time!"

"Lawson and Martin are also good players, but there are some things Curry can do that they can't do no matter how hard they try."

Larry Riley said excitedly.

Shen Fei smiled noncommittally.

The other party's words, from the perspective of his time traveler, are indeed no problem.

Curry is an epoch-making player, naturally not comparable to Lawson and Martin.

But besides him, is there any player who dares to take a logo-shot...

That must be there!

There's one in the Rockets right now, and this one is ready to respond...

This person is Maddie!

After seeing Curry stunned his teammates with a super long three-pointer, he immediately became interested.

T-Mac came to the baseline, took the basketball from Lawson, and dribbled it slowly across half court.

Defending him is the core of the Warriors - Monta Ellis.

He is not good at defense, so he did not stick to McGrady.

After all, no one in the world knows how fast t-mac's first step is.

But McGrady does not plan to break through now.

He also stopped in the logo area after passing the half.

Since he has almost never shot at such a long distance, McGrady has deformed his shooting posture in order to expand the shooting range.

Not only did he take a big leap forward, but he also leaned forward.

Compared with Curry's relaxed and freehand standard posture, the aesthetics of McGrady's shooting has dropped a lot.

However, on the basketball court, after all, it depends on the final result.

The picturesque posture attracts fans, but as long as it can send the ball to the basket, fans don't mind the occasional movement deformation.

McGrady's shooting arc is much lower than that of Curry, like an intercontinental missile, flying straight to the basket...

The ball swished a few times on the rim, and finally fell into the net.

answer. ball!

After scoring the goal, McGrady himself smiled.

It has to be said that there is a certain element of luck in this ball, if he is asked to make another shot, there is a high possibility that he will not be able to hit it.

After McGrady scored the goal, Shen Fei didn't speak, just looked at Larry Riley with a smile.

The general manager of the Warriors blushed and pretended not to notice the other party's gaze.

............

The game continues.

Curry still worked hard to create opportunities for Murphy.

But things backfired. Murphy moved too slowly and his confrontation ability was poor, and he was defended by Tucker, who was known for his fierce defense.

Curry made several attempts to create chances, all of which ended in failure.

Murphy managed to make a shot, but the result was outrageous.

The Rockets took advantage of the period when the Warriors did not make consecutive advances, and hit a fierce shock wave.

Lawson's breakthrough, Martin's three-pointer and fouls all caused the opponent a headache.

After 4 minutes, the score has reached 15:5, and the Rockets have a double-digit lead!

On the sidelines, Warriors coach Keith Smart was already sweating anxiously.

The current situation is that not only are they behind by a large score, but Murphy also has no performance.

Thinking of what the general manager told him, Smart felt a little uncomfortable.

[No, we must find a way to change the status quo! ]

With this in mind, Smart hurriedly signaled a timeout to the technical desk.

............

"Coach, I don't really understand today's tactical arrangement."

"I respect Troy a lot, but his current state is obviously not suitable for being the main offensive point?"

Just back to the bench, Monta Ellis questioned.

Before the game, Smart told him that he would practice new tactics in this game, which would reduce his possession of the ball at the beginning.

Although Ellis has a relatively unique style of play, his personality is fine.

After hearing the coach's arrangement, he also readily accepted it, saying that he would cooperate unconditionally.

But looking at it now, the Warriors' opening tactics were clearly a failure.

Except for Curry's ultra-long three-pointer, the entire team played for 4 minutes, and there were no other sports goals!

The other three Warriors players basically watched Murphy and Curry's performance from the sidelines.

Oh no, to be more precise, it was watching Murphy's various clumsy performances.

This made the other Warriors players headed by Ellis inevitably dissatisfied, so they raised their objections so directly.

"Monta, don't worry."

"Our team's recent record is not satisfactory, and a change of formation is imminent. In the early stage of change, pain is unavoidable."

Smart explained patiently.

Hearing what the coach said, the emotions of Ellis and others calmed down.

Seeing this, Smart continued:

"Now that we have taken the first step, let's just carry the experiment to the end."

"Troy (Murphy) just came back and may be a little rusty, but I believe he's recovered now."

"Let's experiment for a few more minutes, and everyone will try their best to help him create opportunities."

"No matter what the result is, I am here to thank everyone!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

What the head coach said seems to make sense, but I always feel that something is wrong...

[Where is the problem? ]

Ellis asked himself in his mind.

But Smart didn't give him time to think, and immediately began to arrange new tactics.

His new tactic is very simple, and it can be summed up in one sentence - all staff are tools, let Murphy play output.

With this in mind, the Warriors returned to the field.

The game, keep going!
