I’m Really Playing Basketball

Because Chen Xiao stayed on the court at the beginning of the second quarter, this was of course to continue to maintain the inside advantage of the Bobcats lineup.

The five players on the court for the Bobcats at this time are Chen Xiao, Kidd, DeRozan, Roy and Seth Curry.

In this game, the Bobcats' three interior centers, Cousins, Roy Hibbert and Lopez, did not play a minute.

This game was very intense, and the rhythm of these three people was a bit slow. Jordan was worried that they would not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the game.

Facing a team like the Bucks, it could collapse in three minutes.

If your defense can't keep up with Curry and Ray Allen, it can really give you three or four, or even four or five three-pointers in three minutes.

NBA playoff games can only play a maximum of 12 players in a game, and these three centers are not available. In fact, the Bobcats only have nine players available for this game.

This is why if the Bobcats cannot use their own center, the lineup will not be as thick as the Bucks. This is also why Chen Xiao must play in the second quarter of this game.

Look at the Bucks' rotation, Nene, Marion, Durant, Battier, Curry.

In fact, if Terry Porter was not too afraid of Chen Xiao and brought Durant up, in fact, if Durant was replaced by Ariza, the Bucks' rotation would even have extremely strong combat effectiveness.

By the way, Curry didn't play the entire first quarter. In the Bucks' game, the rotation of Curry, Diener and Ray Allen was very flexible. Generally speaking, Ray Allen played six minutes, and Diener Replaced Ray Allen and played nine minutes in the first quarter. Ray Allen replaced Curry again.

Curry will then lead the rotation in the second quarter.

Of course, sometimes the Bucks' rotation is not like this. Sometimes it is Diener or Ray Allen who leads the rotation.

But no matter what, these three players with similar styles are all three-point shooters, and they can all play basketball that is very aggressive and very unfriendly to inside players.

So, Ray Allen and Curry, in the Bucks' lineup, it's really 48 minutes. One of them has to be on the court every minute, and then surrounded by any one of the remaining two of the three, it's all. Has a very powerful explosion.

Don't think that Ray Allen can't play that kind of basketball now, it's just that with Curry, he doesn't play anymore.

In this game, all three of them have good touches. This is why Jordan did not dare to go to the three inside lines, but used Chen Xiao to maintain the team's inside advantage.

but……

Facing a rotation like the Bucks, even if Chen Xiao is on the court, Jordan is not very confident that Chen Xiao can maintain the inside advantage for the Bobcats in the first quarter.

Nene, Marion, Battier, Durant...

Don't look at the fact that the Bucks don't have a traditional center. In fact, they have four forward players who are over 2 meters tall.

Moreover, these four strikers are not only tall and good at rebounding, but more importantly, they all have excellent defensive abilities.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's role in staying on the court in the second quarter is more to hope that the team's inside line will not collapse before David West comes up. When attacking, don't play that super rhythm to open up the score.

As for lagging behind, there is really no way around it.

Can it accomplish Jordan's goal of four to five minutes in this rotation?

This depends on whether Chen Xiao can withstand the inevitable rush from the Bucks' front line.

At the same time, it also depends on whether Seth Curry, the little Curry, can stand up to his older brother.

This season is Seth Curry's third season in the NBA. He is in the same class as Beasley and Jimmy Butler.

After coming to the NBA, his performance in the past three seasons has been very good, although because of Roy, Rose, Kidd and others, he did not get many playing opportunities.

But in the limited opportunities to play, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, his performance was very satisfactory.

In the regular season, his three-point shooting percentage in each of the three seasons has been over 45%. Well, you read that right, Curry’s three-point shooting percentage in his career has exceeded 45%. , at the same time, every season is 45%. In NBA history, players who have played for more than three seasons in their career have a three-point shooting percentage of more than 45% in each season of their career, and average more than 1 hit per game. Just Curry.

There is only this one in history. Although this record seems very unpopular, this record is actually quite impressive.

Therefore, despite his limited opportunities and time, as a disciple of Chen Xiao, he is very trusted by Jordan.

Therefore, he performed very well in the playoffs during his rookie season, and had a record of hitting 100% of more than 5 three-pointers in a single game.

Now, Jordan allows him to use these few minutes to buy Rose rest time to deal with his brother, which is also Jordan's reward for his performance in the past three seasons.

It has to be said that Jordan chose to trust Curry so much this time and use Curry against his older brother Curry. He really did not believe in the wrong person.

Historically, Curry always performed amazingly every time he beat his brother. Many people joked that he was carrying a 'noble weapon against his brother'.

Historically, the scene in the playoffs where Curry stole the ball from his brother and then used his brother's method to chase down a three-pointer is also a famous painting in history.

Of course, in this time and space, as Xiao Curli's master, Chen Xiao certainly knows that Xiao Curli has always had a plot towards his brother, that is, he has always felt that he is no worse than his brother.

Well, my brother is too good. As a younger brother, a younger brother who pursues is always unconvinced.

This kind of dissatisfaction actually showed signs very early on.

Seth Curry and his brother almost had a fight because of this reason when they were in high school. Well, they were on the same team. If their father Curry hadn't appeared, I'm afraid...

Seth Curry told Chen Xiao that if their father hadn't come suddenly, he would have knocked down his brother with one punch.

Why is Curry so confident?

Because, the boxing between him and his elder brother is actually not once or twice, but a common occurrence...

Historically, Seth Curry had this to say about his relationship with his brother: “We played together at the time, and every time we played in training, Steph and I were opponents. We faced each other and marked each other. Every time the game reaches a certain stage, the two of us are no longer playing ball. We just use small moves, elbow each other, and do other things like that. In the end, the two of us will fight. Even after we went to the locker room, we still chatted. Fights, we would just tangle and grab each other and then our dads would come in and pull us apart in front of the whole team, which is kind of embarrassing every time I think about it. But, I mean, in It always happened growing up with siblings of the same age."

There is only a 2-year age difference between Curry and Curry. Anyone with brothers and sisters knows that this age is exactly the age at which no one can tell the difference. It is common for people to be convinced and want to be the big brother.

In this time and space, although there have been some changes, the competition between Curry and Curry has become even more intense, and the situation where the two dislike each other has become more intense.

There is no way, because of Chen Xiao's reason, Curry's strength is much stronger than in history. With Chen Xiao's blessing, this young man with a high golf quotient has a lot stronger offense and defense.

In history, the gap between him and his brother was even greater, and they fought so fiercely.

Now that the gap between him and his brother is even smaller, can he still compete less?

How can this be? !

So, soon, Jordan saw how his trick turned decay into magic.

The second quarter started and the Bobcats took the lead. As soon as Chen Xiao came up, he received a pass from Roy in the middle distance. Facing Nene's defense, he turned around and broke through to the basket. With the help of Marion, he dunked Succeed and get two points.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball across the half court under Curry's full-court press. With the help of Durant, Curry passed the half court smoothly, but Curry still refused to follow. He was pressing Curry relentlessly.

At this time, the persevering little Curry, and the little Curry who was pushed hard by the little Curry, both saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

This is the bond of brotherly duel.

The two have grown up in this confrontation throughout their basketball careers.

Faced with such a defense, if the opponent was not Curry, Curry would have handed over the ball long ago.

However, this person is Little Curry, the younger brother who never wanted to be his younger brother.

The younger brother is looking for a duel with the older brother, will he be cowardly?

of course not!

Even if this kind of playing is unreasonable, he will not be cowardly!

For Curry, this may be less than half a quarter, and it is the most important moment of his basketball career, the most important moment for him to prove that he is no worse than his brother!

If the world is a game at this time, then Curry probably has a bunch of motivational buffs on him at this time.

After all, the current little Curry has used the will of his basketball career to press for a few minutes that he may not know.

Snap!

On the court, Curry, who dribbled too much and couldn't throw off the defense with explosive power like Rose, was intercepted by his younger brother.

But fortunately, Curry's explosive power is not so strong. After completing the steal against Curry, when he dribbled the ball beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the right, not only his brother had already stood in front of him, but the Bucks The other players on the team have also retreated and defended.

To be honest, Curry's attack was unreasonable. He should have given the ball to Chen Xiao or Roy long ago.

However, Curry, who advanced beyond the three-point line, had no intention of handing over the ball at all. Just like his brother just now, he also had no reason to be cowardly in the face of this duel with his brother.

Change direction! Change direction! Move sideways!

Facing his brother's defense, Curry used two changes of direction to trick his brother into cutting the ball, and then made a very wonderful lateral dribble to the right, throwing his brother away, and then drifting, shooting from outside the three-point line This basketball.

A swipe!

Three point hit!

When seeing this ball, Jordan and old Curry on the sidelines were stunned.

To be honest, the fans on the sidelines were also stunned.

Although Curry's movement frequency is much lower than that of his brother, there is no doubt that this is Curry's style of play.

Shoot Curry in front of Curry with Curry's style of play!

Isn't this incredible?

At this time, on the court, Curry, who had just done such an incredible thing, returned to defense immediately without any celebration.

Because his brother Curry had already played a fast break after he made the shot without checking whether the ball was hit.

Looking at the back of the No. 30, Curry with the No. 31 on his back is chasing after him frantically.

But in the end, little Curry still failed to catch up with his brother. Whether it is height, speed, dexterity, technique, or even shooting skills, he is a little worse than his brother in all aspects.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his brother received a pass from Durant behind him and made a quick layup from the basket.

39 to 36!

The Bucks recovered two points.

These three rounds are three rounds that broke away from the tactics of the two teams.

At the same time, the next four minutes were also four minutes away from the tactics of the two teams.

What people saw was not the duel between Chen Xiao and Durant that they should have seen the most.

What the audience saw was a duel between the Curry brothers.

Although it was not a duel between Chen Xiao and Durant, the two super MVPs, the duel between the Curry brothers still excited the fans in Charlotte's hometown, and also made the audience in front of the TV feel novel.

If the Curry brothers are the head players of their respective teams in the NBA, let the two face off for a whole game, even if Curry is much better than the one in history, he will still be blown away by his brother.

However, this game is not a whole game. For Curry, this is a four-minute duel, and in these four minutes, his chicken blood time can be completely covered, combining a lifetime of chicken blood and Four minutes after the BUFF, as a role player, Curry, under the eyes of the whole world, had an inextricable fight with his MVP-level brother who had already been crowned a beast by Barkley.

In the end, when Curry was sweating profusely and was replaced by Rose, amid the applause and cheers of the audience, the score at this time was 46 to 44, and the Bobcats led by 2 points.

"Congratulations, Seth, this is going to be the greatest moment of your life!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

The father and son embracing each other off the court, and the elder brother on the court with his hands on his hips, biting his teeth and watching his younger brother hugging his father off the court, the father and son are a group of wonderful paintings under the eyes of the whole United States and the world.

The old Curry was right. These four minutes were the greatest moment in Curry's life, because this moment almost affected the final outcome of the game.

Because of these four minutes, Curry used his sweat and madness to not only win valuable rest time for Rose, but also consumed a lot of Curry's energy.

After Rose came on the court, he obviously felt that he was facing less pressure on Curry. Curry, who was supposed to play the second quarter, could only be replaced by Diana with 3 minutes left in the game. Ross, this is definitely a bigger disadvantage.

Is it okay not to go to Dinah?

sure.

If there is only one Ray Allen on the court, then don't blame the Bobcats and Jordan for Cousins ​​or Lopez and Roy Hibbert.

So, in the second quarter, Rose exploded!

Rose made 7 of 8 in a single quarter and scored 18 points in less than 8 minutes, leading the Bobcats to a 74-64 lead by 10 points at halftime.

To be honest, for the Bucks and Bobcats, 10 points is not much, but at the same time, if the opponent's state is similar to his own, then the same 10 points is almost like a natural barrier.

So much so that until the end of the game, even though the Bucks had been crazily catching up in the second half, they still failed to catch up after being disrupted by Curry.

134 to 128!

The Charlotte Bobcats beat the Milwaukee Bucks at home in the only game of the series within 10 points.

In this game, Curry, who made 7 of 15 three-pointers, scored 35 points, while Curry Jr. made 3 of 4 and scored 8 points.

There is a huge difference in the data between the two sides.

It's so big that it's not on the same level.

But anyone who has watched the game knows that Curry's role cannot be reflected in the data.

Because Curry made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, and only 4 of 11 three-pointers in the next three quarters.

To be more precise, after the duel with his brother, Curry's three-point shooting percentage was 3 of 9.

Curry used the most important four minutes of his career to disrupt his brother's game rhythm and also disrupted the Bucks' game rhythm.

It also won the most important victory for the Bobcats on their way to defending their title.

Let's put it this way, without Curry, would the Bobcats win this game?

This is really hard to say.

At the very least, everyone on the Bobcat team is not that confident.

Therefore, at the next Eastern Conference championship award ceremony, Seth Curry became the favorite of the whole team. Everyone was congratulating him, and everyone was celebrating and hugging with him.

On the other side, Curry, Xiao Du, and Ray Allen were a little sad at this time.

Bucks head coach Terry Porter was so sad that he beat his chest.

Those unreasonable few minutes!

The Curry brothers have all taken it, but little Curry is a role player. After taking it, it consumes too much, so Jordan can just don't use it.

But Curry is the Bucks' game metronome and the most important tactical core. He consumes too much after he takes over, and they can't make up for it even if they want to.

"Why am I so stupid to watch these brothers fight!"

At that time, he really underestimated the impact of those few minutes on the game. It should be that everyone underestimated it.

To be honest, not to mention Terry Porter, even Popovich, with Curry's importance to the Bucks and Curry's status in the Bucks, he wants to teach himself a lesson on the court that he is stupid. Ou Doudou', Bobo has no reason not to let it go.

Therefore, even Bobo looked at the Bobcats who advanced in the Eastern Conference and could only exclaim with regret: "It's still immature!"

The immaturity mentioned here is of course referring to Curry. It is not his fault that Terry Porter did not stop it. If it were him, he would not be able to stop it.

The root cause is Curry, who this time put himself above the team.

Otherwise, maybe their opponent in the finals is really likely to be the Bucks.

For Bobo, the Bobcats and Chen Xiao are still the opponents he least wants to encounter.

Even though the Bobcats may seem a little weaker than the Bucks, he is still unwilling to touch Chen Xiao.

Not just Bobo, maybe all the teams in the entire league have this idea.

"After all, this is a man who can work miracles!"
