I am so Accurate

About 7 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the field was 21 to 11.

The Warriors relied on their youthful storm to expand the point difference to double digits in the main stage.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers at the Oracle Arena, because someone was waiting for a replacement at the technical table.

On the Mavericks side are Diop and Terry, and on the Warriors side are Hayes, Landry, and...Curry!

With that cute face, Moeku is coming!

During this summer league, Curry was given the prefix "elementary school student" when reported by ESPN due to his appearance.

This has made Curry, who has already attracted much attention, become the focus of the whole nation, and the topic has surpassed that of the No. 1 pick Griffin.

In other words, Curry has gained popularity far beyond his own strength before even playing a game.

The most direct evidence is that the game was still on the court, and the photographer immediately gave Curry the shot he was waiting for.

Curry knelt on one knee, put his hands on his knees, and moved his eyes along with the transition of offense and defense on the court.

That scene really looked like an "elementary school student" waiting to be called on by the teacher.

However, it can be seen from his expression that he is still a little nervous.

After all, this kind of popularity is also invisible pressure in some aspects!

There was a dead ball on the field, and substitutes on both sides came on stage one after another.

Curry comes on to replace Azubuike!

The person he replaced was not Sun Hao!

In other words, Curry will be on the same stage as Sun Hao in his debut.

Sun Hao's fans were very excited after seeing this scene.

Just like readers take on the role of the protagonist, fans often take the role of their own fans.

Curry is Sun Hao's eldest nephew, and many people also regard him as their eldest nephew!

So when I saw Curry on the same stage with Sun Hao as soon as he came up, I couldn't describe the pleasure in words.

Azubuike also took good care of the new player on the team. When he came off the court, he explained to Curry and patted the latter's butt.

Substitution comes back, the Mavericks' offensive round.

Nowitzki plays with the ball in the high post.

Landry obviously couldn't guard Nowitzki one-on-one, and the Warriors were double-teamed on the weak side.

Maybe because he just came up, Curry missed someone when assisting in defense. Nowitzki quickly passed the ball, and Terry caught the ball and stopped in mid-range.

"Uh-huh!"

Compared with Howard, Terry's condition is obviously better.

But the fundamental problem with this ball is that Curry missed someone.

Curry also immediately indicated that it was his problem.

The Warriors advanced to the frontcourt, and Sun Hao stretched out his hand to make a tactical gesture. This was a no-ball tactic from the second position.

Nelson gave Sun Hao a lot of freedom on the court, and he also showed Curry's "bias" for the first time.

Landry's pick-and-roll was very good, but before Curry came out, he lost his center of gravity and had no time to reach out to catch the ball.

Sun Hao's ball passed with advance passing volume, but the result was that no one caught the ball and it went out of bounds!

"beep!"

Fortunately, the line referee's whistle sounded at this time, indicating Terry's defensive foul.

This whistle turned the original mistake into a foul!

Terry was complaining to the referee emotionally, while Curry lowered his head and cursed.

The intensity of confrontation in the regular season was much greater than he expected.

When the ball missed the ball just now, his body was hit hard and he had no time to return to defense.

"The free throw went."

At this time, Sun Hao came over and touched Curry's head with a smile.

Curry nodded, and when he was touched, he felt an inexplicable burst of encouragement.

The reason why Terry was so excited was because the Mavericks had reached the number of fouls in a single quarter, and fouls required free throws.

Curry goes to the free throw line.

Affected by the "Touch Your Head" badge, his mentality has become much calmer now.

And think about it, although he didn't play well in either offense or defense, at least he scored much faster than expected.

Adjust your breathing and take the first free throw.

"Uh-huh!"

The first point of his career, get!

With the first point, he seemed more relaxed.

Then, the second free throw was also safely pocketed.

After making the free throw, he reached out and patted his chest.

He scored 2 points in just one minute of playing. This is a very efficient scoring performance~

His mentality is still very optimistic.

23 to 13.

Still a 10-point difference.

Kidd made a tactical gesture at this time and asked Terry to pull back and hit Curry.

He made this judgment very quickly, because what can be seen in the past two rounds is that Curry's confrontation looks a bit weak.

Although Terry is a substitute, he is very capable in singles. If he beats Curry hard, he will be a breakthrough on the court.

Everyone else moved to the wings, giving Terry enough space to play in singles.

The Warriors can't help defend at this time. The Mavericks have Nowitzki, and there is a lot of offensive space in the position.

Terry held the ball frame, and when he glanced at Curry, he felt as if he was about to eat him.

If he had just come up, Curry would definitely feel guilty.

But after two rounds, he was no longer nervous.

Terry stared at him and he stared at Terry!

This look, in turn, made Terry feel a little uncomfortable...

Terry simply withdrew his gaze, then changed direction to the right and launched an attack.

Don’t say much, just do it!

However, Curry was not slow and retreated to Terry's breakthrough position in advance!

The two had a direct physical confrontation.

Terry originally wanted to directly use confrontation to knock Curry away and make an emergency stop.

Just during the confrontation, he discovered that Curry's confrontation was completely different from what he imagined.

That body is not as thin as it looks!

By the time he retreated after the confrontation, his center of gravity was already unstable.

"Dang!"

The result was that he took a step back and hit the basket!

Hayes blocked the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Sun Hao on the outside.

Sun Hao and Durant double-line fast break.

This time Durant reciprocated the favor, assisting Sun Hao in the fast break and scoring an alley-oop dunk with both hands!

25 to 13!

The Youth Storm 3.0 of the Warriors continues!

Terry had a conversation with Kidd at this time.

In the frontcourt, Terry controlled the ball, and then Kidd backed Curry in the high post.

Terry followed up and passed the ball over.

Apparently, it was Terry and Kidd who told him about Curry's confrontation. Kidd didn't believe it and wanted to inspect the goods himself.

Many ball handlers in the 1990s were good at back-up play, and Payton was a good player.

Although Kidd is not that strong, his basic skills are definitely there.

One click, two clicks, and it only took Kidd two clicks to know that what Terry said was true, and that Curry's confrontation was not as bad as it seemed, or at first glance.

But he didn't stop, and after two more hard chisels, he suddenly hit the ball behind his back and hit the ground.

On the off-ball side, Nowitzki didn't know when he had used Diop's pick-and-roll to cut into the basket.

This hit the ball was very comfortable. Nowitzki took the ball and easily layup and scored two points.

Curry didn't react at all and didn't interfere at all.

He was taught another lesson.

The point guard's post-up play is rarely aimed at scoring. Most of the point guard's post-up play is to contain the defense on the field and then create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Of course, Curry was not the only one who was caught off guard by this ball. The Warriors also had a big problem with the defensive attention on the weak side.

Although their experience last season has made them mature a lot, this team still has a lot of room for improvement!

25 to 15!

There was still a 10-point difference on the court.

The Warriors failed to score in a wave of attacks in the frontcourt, and Kidd continued to direct the position.

Terry gave Nowitzki an unconventional screen. After receiving the ball, Nowitzki directly squeezed Curry for a layup and scored two more points!

The score difference was reduced to single digits!

This is Kidd's field control ability!

Although Terry didn't score in his first single, he personally verified that Curry's confrontation was stronger than expected.

but! Curry is still the weakest defensive point on the Warriors' court!

Especially when Curry was still a rookie, no one would beat you!

Players are not fans. There is no such thing as preferential treatment to you just because you know Sun Hao well.

"From the current point of view, there is a big gap between Stephen's performance and Sean (Livingston)."

Over at the commentary box, Breen came to a conclusion after watching Curry's performance in the past few minutes.

"If the Warriors' goal in the new season is to go further, then their summer trade is indeed not the best choice."

Miller on the side also nodded in agreement, but soon, he made a twist for himself.

"But Stephen's characteristic is offense. Compared to defense, if he can open up the offensive end, it will still be of great help to the Warriors."

This sentence seems to be a step down for Curry, but it is also a reminder to the fans.

You expect a player who was identified as an offensive player during the draft to play good defense. This is an unreasonable expectation in itself.

In the Warriors' offense, Sun Hao once again provided Curry with the ball, and the sudden score gave Curry a three-point opportunity from the outside.

It can be said that he really showed preference to his eldest nephew.

Curry's quick three-point shot from outside.

This is also the first three-pointer in his career!

"Dang!"

still none!

"Maybe the outside world paid too much attention to him and put too much pressure on him."

As both three-point shooters, Miller is very tolerant of Curry.

After the first quarter, the score on the court was 27-21.

Nelson gave Curry enough trust and did not take him off the field because of his poor performance.

As a result, the Mavericks kept seizing on his breakthrough point and brought the score closer.

At the end of the first quarter, Curry was a little frustrated when he came off the court.

He played a full 5 minutes, but apart from the two free throws he scored on the first pitch, he didn't accomplish much after that.

It can even be said that because he was caught and beaten on the defensive end, he was completely a side effect.

No matter how optimistic a person is, if he doesn't do his job well, he won't be able to be optimistic.

At this time, Sun Hao stood up to greet Curry, touched the latter's head, and then pulled him to sit down.

Instead of offering any words of encouragement, he began to analyze Curry's possessions on the court.

He knew very well that Curry was not without strength, but more because he was not adaptable to the intensity of the game, and his mentality also fluctuated after being caught and beaten on the defensive end.

Just like a novice driver driving for the first time, it is normal for him to hit a wall.

Adjust your mentality, find the right position, and your performance will naturally improve.

Curry also nodded frequently. Rather than verbal encouragement, he really needed some practical help at this time.

Sun Hao also talked about very detailed things, such as how to avoid confrontation when running, and how to avoid misalignment when defending.

These things are all based on experience, and Curry listened with special concentration.

Back in the second quarter, on the Warriors side, Nelson asked Curry to continue!

This trust is comparable to the one he had for Sun Hao when he was in Dallas!

Of course, this is understandable.

Because the Warriors have very ambitious goals this season, although Curry is a rookie, he hopes that Curry will grow more quickly.

Compared with Curry's growth, the victory or defeat of a regular season is really not that important.

Back in the second quarter, the Warriors’ lineup on the field included Curry, Azubuike, Maggette, Landry, and Hayes!

When Curry was in the NCAA, he started out as a shooting guard, and later switched to a point guard. In a true sense, he was also a combo guard.

However, he is still better at the point guard position.

In other words, it can be said that he is in charge of the team during this period.

Back in the second quarter, the Mavericks attacked first.

The Mavericks also have a nearly full substitute lineup.

Terry is the main offensive point on the court. He uses the screen to shoot a mid-range jumper.

But Azubuike is not Curry. His defensive experience and ability are much better than Curry.

With this ball, he successfully bypassed the pick-and-roll and caused interference.

"Dang!"

Terry's shot struck!

Hayes protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Curry.

Curry was not in a hurry to start a fast break.

After advancing to the frontcourt, he pressed a wave of positions, and then with a wave of tactical gestures, he hit a breakthrough ball to Maggette who was cutting in!

Maggette caught the ball and scored a layup, which also caused Diop's defensive foul!

This shot is full of details.

Curry first faked a shot and made a real breakthrough, using his quick cuts to go straight to the basket, and then the timing of distributing the ball was just right.

It's not that Diop couldn't guard Maggette, it was because he shrank to the basket and turned around too late to make a defensive move. As a result, he not only failed to guard but also got a foul!

In fact, just like in history, because many of Curry's offenses end with three-pointers, many people automatically ignore his ball-handling and passing abilities.

Although these aspects of his are not as exaggerated compared to the three-pointer, they are still at a historical level!

Moreover, Curry's change in mentality can also be seen from the choice of this ball.

In the first quarter, he was nervous and under pressure, so he wanted to prove that he was not what the outside world said, and it was a wrong decision to replace him with Livingston.

But after sitting in the audience for a while and analyzing with Sun Hao, he calmed down.

Coupled with returning to the point guard position he is most familiar with, he has entered the mode he is good at!

While talking, Maggette hit the extra free throw and returned to the defensive end. Curry showed his learning ability and did not directly switch to the opponent's mismatch opportunity when encountering a pick-and-roll.

The Mavericks' attack failed, and Landry grabbed the rebound and gave it to Curry.

At this time, Curry observed that the Mavericks' offensive formation was too far forward and did not retreat in time, so he directly accelerated and ran towards the frontcourt.

The speed it ran was like a Porsche without brakes!
