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

Chapter 177 Iron Boy (Fourth Change)

Made the first three-pointer of the game, the score came to 23:21, and the Clippers took the lead again.

With 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, the scores on both sides soared.

According to this defense and the offensive rhythm of this game, there is not much suspense for the two teams to score more than [-] points.

The Warriors adjusted slightly and slowed down a bit after rushing and playing for a while.

Rubio dribbled the ball through the half court very experienced and began to direct the team's offense.

In the 2008 Olympics, Rubio played for the Spanish national team.

In the final between Spain and the United States, Rubio scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

In this battle, Rubio fully demonstrated his comprehensiveness. He was only 18 years old this year. No wonder he was called a golden boy.

Although he is a golden boy, it is a pity that the golden body has flaws, and everyone knows this flaw.

Especially the Clippers' main center Gasol Jr., the two are teammates of the national team.

How much does your kid weigh? Can I not know?

Known as the golden boy, he is actually the iron boy, who can't shoot long distances!

Rubio runs a pick-and-roll with Biedrins in the high post.

Little Gasol yelled directly, "Let him go, let him three points! Shrink in!"

Gasol didn't switch on Rubio at all, but went straight in and went to the basket.

While staring at Biedrins, he defended Rubio's possible breakthrough route.

Curry didn't switch defenses, he chose to bypass, and the board was right in front of Rubio.

Rubio has an open three-pointer with 0.5 seconds at the top of the arc.

It's a pity that he didn't have the confidence. After a moment of hesitation, the opportunity was gone. He stopped the ball and passed it to Ellis.

This tactic failed to start, Ellis caught the ball and rushed to the basket, and missed a jumper with an emergency stop.

Randolph got the rebound and gave it to Curry, who quickly pushed through the half court and launched a counterattack.

The same high pick-and-roll, the same 0.5-second gap, Curry stabs in with the ball.

Then step on the top line of the arc and make a two-point shot, and hit it again!
The reason why Curry didn't shoot a three-pointer was because Rubio was very tight from behind.

He needs to use a stab to open the distance to prevent being blocked by Rubio from behind.

Curry scored five points in a row, and the chattering voices on the sidelines immediately decreased a lot.

Then, the Clippers can be considered to have found a good way to deal with Rubio, which is to let him go and let him go wide open.

Little Gasol doesn't save any face for his little brother in the national team. As soon as Rubio gets the ball from the outside, Gasol yells: "Stephen, three steps, three steps away from him, let him shoot, it counts." mine!"

Rubio is speechless, the big brother who took good care of me in the national team, you just bury me like this?
Curry really let Rubio take three steps, and Rubio bit the bullet and made a three-pointer, but the result was completely out of the question.

The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced out. It really belonged to Gasol Jr., and he easily grabbed the rebound.

When Min Congda saw this kind of ball, he suffered from high blood pressure again.

"It's a trough, don't you make this big open space? If you change me to shoot, I can make it. I know how to pass, organize, and steal. Is it the bald Kidd of the Mavericks? I think the boy Your hair is quite thick, so you won't become bald anyway."

Min Congda hates opponents like Kidd who can't score from the outside, especially when there are wide open opportunities.

Because of the existence of this kind of player, it will bring out that Curry's shooting is particularly good, and by the way, Min Congda feels stupid.

Basketball is essentially a game of shooting and scoring. All other technical statistics ultimately exist for shooting or preventing shots.

For someone like Min Congda who quickly sees through the essence of basketball games, scoring is the most important of all technical indicators.

Other so-called assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks are all based on scoring, and no scoring is false.

Stronger than Jason Kidd, although he was criticized for his poor shooting, his three-pointers have become more stable in the past two years.

If a core player cannot shoot and score in a game, no matter how many assists and rebounds you have, the damage to the team will be huge.

It takes four teammates to make all-round efforts to make up for your shortcomings and loopholes in this area, especially in the high-intensity playoffs, when such loopholes are magnified, the results will be fatal.

Old Nelson had a similar idea with Min Congda.

He watched Rubio being put in a three-step gap, and the gray-haired old scientist felt uncomfortable.

And seeing Curry facing the opponent on the opposite side, taking advantage of the gap of a few tenths of a second to make a hit, the unpleasant feeling is even stronger.

Rubio is a good player and will grow into a regular season player. His organization and court awareness are top-notch.

As long as he grows up gradually, the Warriors' offensive organization doesn't have to worry about it.

With a good lineup framework in the future, the Warriors will definitely be able to return to the playoffs and play beautiful games in the regular season.

But to become a strong team in the playoffs and even hit the championship, Rubio's shooting is definitely a huge shortcoming.

And shooting is not something you can practice if you want to, it is often innate.

Stephen Curry obviously inherited his father Dell Curry's genes, plus he received hand correction at an early age.

His unique shooting style and excellent shooting touch are simply the perfect spokesperson for small balls.

The more old Nelson thought about it, the more painful it became. At this time, Curry pushed back and counterattacked, and the speed passed halftime.

The Warriors defenders didn't dare to guard Curry too far. As a result, Curry passed the ball to Thornton without looking at anyone.

Thornton catches the ball and rushes to the basket, making an easy layup, and the Warriors' paper defense is pierced by a single pass.

For a point guard with strong shooting ability, opponents dare not put it too far.

As a result, Curry can attract and pull the opponent's defense to the greatest extent, creating opportunities for teammates.

Of course, rookie Curry's pulling ability is not particularly obvious.

The Warriors immediately adjusted their defensive strategy, allowing Rubio to keep an eye on Curry one-on-one, and the others don't need to double-team.

Rubio's steal awareness is very good, he is not the kind of player who likes desperate steals.

While trying not to lose his position, he used his long arms to interfere with the opponent, waiting for opportunities to steal the ball.

Curry was accidentally intercepted by Rubio, and the Warriors counterattacked.

Rubio made a nice behind-the-back pass to a fast-down Monta Ellis.

With no one in the frontcourt, Ellis made a fast break dunk.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled to 33:31, and the Clippers led the Warriors by 2 points.

Curry scored 8 points in a single quarter, sent 2 assists, and made as many as 3 turnovers.

Two of those turnovers were caused by steals by Rubio.

And Rubio scored 2 points in the first quarter, sent 4 assists, and made no mistakes.

At the same time, he also contributed 2 steals, all of which were stolen from Curry.

Two excellent point guards in 09 fought in different ways.

Min Congda could already imagine that Goupu's post-match articles must say that this is "the new Kidd vs Nash".

The so-called base does not attack, accepts does not defend, passes on all the time, and ignores the dog. These two rookies do have similar characteristics.

But Min Congda knows that Rubio is not Kidd, and Curry is definitely not Nash.

Theirs is the point guard of the new era, each with distinct characteristics.

It is very different from the players of the previous era.
