Chapter 1,175 ‘Ku Wudi’ and ‘Peak Yes’!
In the first half of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors, Curry went absolutely crazy.
Played 12 minutes in the first quarter and played the entire game, scoring 25 points in a single quarter!
He played 6 and a half minutes in the second quarter. He made 7 of 9 in a single quarter, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He once again scored 20 points in a single quarter!
In the first quarter, Stephen Curry challenged Leonard.
In the second quarter, Curry challenged Durant, Harden and Antetokounmpo.
In the first quarter, Curry scored 8 more points than Leonard with the same number of shots.
In the second quarter, the combined scoring of Durant, James Harden and Antetokounmpo was not as good as Curry alone!
It can be said that judging from the first half of the game, Curry undoubtedly picked Leonard, Durant, James Harden and Antetokounmpo.
"Have any of you seen the Seattle SuperSonics pick four of their five starters this season?!"
"No, no matter whether it is James, Anthony or Arenas, there is no way to even do one vs three!"
Let alone one versus two or one versus three, in fact, so far this season, most of the players on most teams, whether they are super giants or superstars, cannot even beat the Seattle SuperSonics in one versus one. Any of the five starters!
But in the first half of this game, four players in the starting lineup of the Seattle SuperSonics, who have been killing everyone in the league this season, were all picked by Curry!
"A string of fours, Stephen Curry can actually do a string of fours against the Seattle SuperSonics!"
This is really incredible!
"Is Curry so strong now?"
"James, Anthony, Arenas did what so many strong men couldn't do, but he actually did it?!"
After the first half of the game between the SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors, whether it was the audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, or the audience on the Internet, everyone was in an uproar at this moment.
The strength of the Seattle SuperSonics' starting five players has now been greatly recognized.
In addition to Ye Si, the other four players.
Needless to say, Durant has long been recognized as a super giant.
Leonard, this is a player who has proven his super strength in front of Bradley, James, Anthony and other strong players.
Antetokounmpo is a player who has also proven his ability in front of James, Anthony, Arenas and other players.
Even James Harden is a player who has proven his strength in front of Roy.
Such four players are really not something that ordinary players can pick.
If after the first game of the season, most people around the world do not agree with the 2k ability value of these Sonics players, but now, most people have agreed, and there is basically no controversy.
Therefore, at the beginning of the season, many people said that they would go against the Seattle SuperSonics in a series of five, and they said so clearly.
But now, does anyone still say such things openly?
No matter what these people are thinking right now, they will never openly say such things.
This is recognition, and recognition. It recognizes that the SuperSonics starting lineup is indeed strong, and also recognizes the strength of the SuperSonics starting players!
However, with such a strong Sonics starting lineup, four players including Curry, the most controversial player in the NBA, got four in a row!
Curry actually did something that James, Anthony, Arenas and others failed to do, which has to be amazing.
Not to mention ordinary viewers and fans, even the TNT team. At this time, the TNT team's studio, O'Neal, Grant Hill, Miller, Chris Webber and others already felt like they were crazy.
"In the first half of this game, Stephen Curry's offensive performance was definitely one of the most terrifying offensive performances I have ever seen in the NBA. No, even one of them can be removed!"
"45 points in the half, and it only took 19 shots to do it, and it only took 2 free throws.
He scored 45 points in the half. This was a terrifying performance that even Yes and Kobe failed to achieve 100% of the time! "
Reggie Miller is pretty excited right now.
Curry's 45 points in the half are indeed not an earth-shattering performance now. Ye Si and Kobe are ahead.
But there is no doubt that Curry and Kobi Yes are different!
Because almost all of Curry's scores were shots!
There is no damage and even very few breakthroughs. Just throw, keep throwing!
In Reggie Miller's opinion, this is the ultimate shooter!
He is a shooter, and he saw the highest performance a shooter can achieve from Curry in the first half!
Kobe is a strong scorer, but he is not a pure shooter.
Yes is the most powerful shooter in NBA history, but he is also not a pure shooter, and his offensive method is not that of a pure shooter.
Of course, Curry is not a pure shooter, but his offense in the first half of this game was definitely a pure shooter's offense!
Hit 16 goals in 19 shots, including 11 of 13 three-pointers, 11 three-pointers in the half, and only 2 free throws!
This is not a pure shooter's performance, what is a pure shooter's performance!
"Of course I know that Yes and Kobe's scores are more magical and incredible, but there is no doubt in my mind that Curry's first half of tonight's game showed me that he can match Yes and Kobe's scores. Ability, and he is more pure than Yes and Kobe, and his performance is more intense for ordinary people like us!"
Reggie Miller was so excited that he said he was an ordinary person.
Next to them, Grant Hill, O'Neal and Chris Webber were a little stunned, but it was understandable.
Compared to the three of them, Miller is certainly an ordinary person, a very ordinary person.
Compared with Yes and Kobe, they are even more ordinary among ordinary.
In the world of NBA, the living conditions of ordinary people are indeed not easy.
For example, Curry will be targeted by his opponents in every game because his physical talent seems average.
In this game, we faced four of the Sonics' starting five, and picked all of them except Yes.
As an ordinary person in the NBA who was discovered by Yes and sent to the NBA, Curry has done what James and Anthony, the chosen sons, have not been able to do.
This is indeed an emotion that can inspire Reggie Miller.
For Reggie Miller, Curry's performance in the first half of the game was really immersive.
"Based on Curry's state in this game and the strength and confidence he showed, in the second half, Curry may really be able to complete a series of five miracles against the Seattle SuperSonics!"
Can Curry tie the Sonics to five in the second half? !
Reggie Miller is full of expectations.
In front of the TV, Kobe, James and other NBA players are also shocked, with expectations written on their faces.
Especially James, he is really confused now.
Curry actually did what he couldn't do? !
Although it may be rude to say this, Curry did seem a bit like an undercover agent for his Cavaliers in this year's Finals.
Of course he hopes that Curry can complete a series of five miracles against the Seattle SuperSonics, so as to suppress the arrogance of Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics, which are becoming more and more arrogant.
But at the same time, Curry and the Cavaliers failed to do what Curry has done, which is indeed quite embarrassing.
However, he was certain of one thing.
Stephen Curry's situation is completely different from that in this year's finals!
Now Curry, who single-handedly defeated Leonard, James Harden, Antetokounmpo and Durant in the first half, is undoubtedly a giant!
And it’s the most powerful among the super giants!
After putting away the complicated emotions in his heart, James was generally very happy.
Curry is Yes' apprentice, and he really hopes to see Curry and Yes having a dog-eat-dog relationship. He really can't understand Yes in many cases.
Just forget it if you say you develop your Seattle SuperSonics teammates.
Why must you cultivate an enemy?
Isn't it just looking for trouble to cultivate one's enemies to be so powerful?
If he is Yes, he will have reservations about Curry after Curry did not come to the Seattle SuperSonics.
He will never train Curry to such an extent like Yes!
"The most extreme performance of a shooter!"
I have to say that Reggie Miller's evaluation of Curry's performance in the first half was very correct.
The defense of the four players Curry picked off in the first half was very strong.
Facing the defense of these four players, he shot 16 of 19 and 11 of 13 three-pointers. Damn, there really is no better shooter performance than this!
Now, Curry wants to turn this game into a ceiling for shooter performance. To the extreme, he only needs to shoot Yes from the sky in the second half!
Haha, being shot from the sky by Curry is very interesting!
“I wonder if Yes regrets it now!”
James is looking forward to Ye Si's mood at this time.
So how is Ye Si feeling now?
Ye Si actually doesn't have many ideas now.
On the contrary, the other Sonics players felt quite shameless.
Moreover, the SuperSonics players not only felt that they were losing face, but they all had worried looks on their faces.
"Curry's performance in the first half was so weird!"
They really don't feel that they are inferior to Curry.
It's just that they really couldn't guard him in the first half!
At halftime, it was clear that Curry was preparing to target Yes in the second half.
It doesn't matter if they were tricked by Curry, but if even Yes was tricked by Curry, then...
There is no doubt that Curry's performance in the first half brought a huge crisis to the Seattle SuperSonics this season.
What reassures the Sonics players a little is that Ye Si, who they are worried about, doesn't seem to care very much. Although they don't know exactly what Ye Si can do to defeat Curry, they are still willing to believe it when they see Ye Si like this. Yes's.
After all, they may trust Ye Si more than they do themselves.
At the Golden State Oracle Arena, the halftime break ended, and players from the two teams appeared on the court again after the halftime break.
Seeing Curry lead the Warriors once again, the Warriors fans at Oracle Arena let out incredible cheers.
88 to 88 at halftime!
And now Curry's morale is like a rainbow and his condition is like a dragon!
This allowed them to see that the opportunity to overthrow the SuperSonics in this game has now come!
"The Golden State Warriors are destined to be the dragon-slaying warriors this season!"
Not to mention Warriors fans, even David Stern and Pippen who were present felt that the Warriors might really become the Dragon-Slaying Warriors in this game!
Especially David Stern, whose face now not only shows surprise, but also embarrassment.
You know, he just hyped up the "Generation of Miracles" some time ago, packing six SuperSonics players together and creating the first-day team in NBA history.
Damn it, the NBA's first-ever NBA team has just formed a ball in his hands, and it's about to lie neatly under Curry's body?
Curry's performance in this game is truly amazing!
Even the president, who is not a basketball professional, saw a strong trace of Yes at his peak 3 years ago in Curry in this game!
That's right, it's the figure of the peak Yes three years ago!
The magical feeling is almost exactly the same as Yes three years ago!
Yes would not be surprised if he knew about David Stern's delusions at this time.
Curry, whose talent has been upgraded to LV2, feels so good in this game. It really makes people feel that he is very similar to the explosive game he played three years ago.
,
Even, stronger than him!
After all, he would have been invincible three years ago if he had a good touch, but there is still a gap between his three-point attributes or shooting-related attributes compared to Curry now.
Therefore, in terms of the perception of the game, not only did Curry's performance in the first half of this game surpass him, many people saw the shadow of the so-called "Peak Yes" in Curry, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Unexpectedly, three years later, it was not Yes who allowed us to see the peak of Yes again, but Curry!"
Not to mention David Stern, even Barkley, who is a die-hard coconut fan, now regards Curry in this game as the 'peak yes' three years ago, that 2k is worth the only 100 points. Yes!
Even Curry himself feels that he is the invincible peak master he was three years ago!
In the second half, the Warriors took the lead in attacking. After Curry dribbled the ball through half-court, there was no pick-and-roll, and Yeez was already standing in front of him.
Curry was not surprised by this, because he knew his master's character too well.
Although the master is a ‘Dong Zhan Xiye’ who is the same as James, the master is not the same as James at all.
In the face of challenges, the master will never be afraid of fighting!
In the first half, he had already challenged his master!
"Master, did my performance in this game surprise you?"
"good."
Seeing Curry's expectant look, Ye Si nodded seriously.
It's not that he was surprised, but he thought Curry's ability was pretty good.
However, it is obvious that Curry did not understand.
I thought the master didn't realize how powerful he was.
But this is understandable, after all, the master's vision...
Ahem, everyone knows that.
"Master, I will let you feel my strength up close right now!"
Master, after this game, I, Stephen Curry, nicknamed Curry Invincible!
After Curry smiled at Ye Si, his body finally moved quickly.
When he used to play against his master, he would always call for a pick-and-roll.
However, he now feels that it is not necessary!
When his talent reaches LV2, asking for pick-and-rolls and cooperation with teammates may cause him to miss the best opportunity to take action, and his strength may even decline!
Now he is suitable for holding the ball for a long time and playing one-on-one extreme singles!
"Curry didn't call for a screen. Like other Sonics in singles, he chose a one-on-one challenge Yes!"
"It takes a lot of courage to face an extreme one-on-one like Yes. Curry's one-on-one record against Yes was very bad before, but now, Curry exudes very strong confidence!"
Of course I am very confident now!
As long as I don't have physical contact with the master, as long as I avoid the master's confrontation first, and then just wait until the moment when I feel the best in the game, I, Stephen Curry, will be invincible!
No matter how far away from the three-point line, no matter how strong the master's confrontation is, no matter how strong the defense is, it's useless!
My shooting will make the master as helpless as the cute little junior brother!
The feeling that the most powerful defense is powerless in front of him makes Curry quite enjoy it!
"Master didn't press forward?"
The showdown between Yes and Curry has become the focus of the world at this time, and Leonard is certainly paying attention.
Curry has been hiding without thinking about breaking through. This is the same as when facing him. The entire three-point line is the range for Curry to avoid dribbling. In such a large range, he is really powerless.
If he presses too hard, Curry will slip away. After all, he is not much bigger than Curry, so he cannot press him too tightly. But if he does not press him too tightly, Curry can take action at any time, so he chooses to block Curry. No matter how bad his shooting is, he can still use blocking to affect Curry's shooting, but Curry's shooting is too difficult to block, and his blocking feeling doesn't seem to affect Curry's shooting.
This was what gave him a huge headache.
The master's height, agility, speed and strength are stronger than Curry's, and he is not much taller. According to Leonard's idea, Yeos should choose to confront Curry and stick to him tightly.
But what surprised Leonard was that Yes did not choose to do this.
Yes has also considered using this defensive method against Curry.
However, if it is too tight, his take-off and height will also be affected. Curry's shooting was taught by him personally. Even if he is standing still and not jumping, he can still push it out with both hands.
Curry's physical confrontation is not strong, but the shooting power of his hands is extremely strong!
If it's too tight, if Curry can't get the ball off, Curry can still take the shot at any time.
But he couldn't jump to the highest height to block shots at any time.
You must stick to Curry, but it must not be too tight. You need to leave some space for Ye Si to take off in place.
Of course, this is Ye Si's wish. Nader doesn't know, Curry doesn't know, and even the whole world doesn't know.
In the eyes of Curry, Leonard and the world, there is no difference between the way Yes defends Curry and the way Leonard defends Curry.
Therefore, at this time, seeing Ye Si constantly chasing and Curry constantly hiding, the worried look on Leonard's face became more and more intense.
Leonard is not sure if his master's defense is better than his own.
But he can be sure that such a defense cannot prevent Curry in this game!
"I'm going to suffer!"
Just when Leonard was getting more and more worried, Leonard's body instinct made him feel that Curry was about to take action!
In fact, when Leonard's body instinct came through, Curry did stand on his tiptoes and jumped slightly!
Seeing Curry's shot like this, the expression on Leonard's face turned very, very dark.
This kind of shot was very irregular and sudden. Even he had basically no way to block the shot or notice it.
too fast!
This way of shooting is not only quick in shooting, but also quick in preparation!
Therefore, players like Leonard, Durant, James Harden and Antetokounmpo, who were played by Curry in the first half, saw the expressions on their faces when they saw Curry suddenly use this move. Everything went dark.
The Warriors fans at the scene and James in front of the TV are completely different from Durant Leonard and the others.
"It's this move again!"
"Yes, like Leonard Durant and others, will be Curry's background!"
"A string of five is inevitable!"
At this time, James in front of the TV had already stood up excitedly.
But soon, the excitement on James' face solidified, and his eyes shone with shock.
Because the basketball thrown by Curry in such an extremely sudden and impossible to detect way was directly intercepted by a big hand from the air as soon as it left Curry's hands!
"Yes?!"
Seeing Curry's extremely sudden shot being intercepted by Ye Si with one hand, the Warriors fans who were ready to cheer were as dumbfounded as James.
Even Curry and the Sonics players on the court were dumbfounded.
The release point of Curry's shot is not that high. What stands out is that it is fast and sudden.
If we really just judge from the point of release, most of them can block or intercept.
Therefore, what made them dumbfounded could not be Ye Si's interception.
The important thing about this interception is not the interception itself, but how he knew when Curry was going to take action!
"Is this defensive prediction ability?!"
Leonard feels that his defensive prediction ability is already the best in NBA history, and even James is helpless with his chipping.
With his defensive predictions, it was impossible to predict Curry's shots.
How did the master do it?
The stronger the defender, the more incredible they will be by Ye Si's interception.
Therefore, besides Curry, the most shocking people at this time were definitely Leonard, Pippen on the sidelines, and the new Spurs head coach Bowen sitting in a wheelchair in front of the TV.
And Curry was the most shocked.
At this moment, Curry stood there as if frozen.
Behind him was Ye Si, who was on a fast break after intercepting Curry's shot.
Why? !
How can this be? !
Curry had no way of understanding that he, who was invincible, was actually intercepted by his master from the air with his invincible move?
At this moment, Ye Si, who was already outside the Warriors' three-point line, jumped up high.
"Hurricane from Garfield, activated!"
Barkley is roaring!
Oracle Arena is silent!
A swipe!
Curry turned back mechanically, looking at the back standing outside the three-point line and the basketball that fell to the ground. The expression on Curry's face was constantly changing.
His invincible blow actually became the button that activated Garfield's hurricane.
91 to 88!
The Warriors did not lead for the first time, but fell behind again!
