Chapter 971 Curry Who Almost Killed His Master!
Because of the special relationship between the players of the two teams, the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors, there was really no smell of gunpowder when the two teams met.
Even pregame practices between the two teams were spent jovially mocking Rondo and Green.
There's no way around it, Rondo's pre-game practice was so interesting, and Dream Chaser Green on the other side was no less generous.
The clanging rhythm of the two during practice really made the players from the two teams next to them, the audience on the sidelines, and even the audience in front of the TV laugh from ear to ear.
"The Seattle SuperSonics and Golden State Warriors are the teams that hit the most three-pointers per game this season. The Seattle SuperSonics can hit 25 three-pointers per game, while the Golden State Warriors can hit 6 per game. In such an outstanding situation, Among the two three-point shooting teams, there are two players like Rondo and Dream Chaser Green.”
Seeing Green and Rondo on both sides of the court making the whole place laugh from ear to ear, Kenny Smith felt a little bit dumbfounded.
"Kenny, what's even more amazing is that this season, Rondo is the player with the most three-pointers in the NBA, averaging three-pointers per game."
After Barkley laughed, Kenny Smith had an embarrassed and complicated look on his face.
As someone who supports James, he must also admit that Yes's organization and passing ability are excellent.
"The shooting abilities of Rondo and Green seem to be evenly matched, but this season, Rondo has only hit 3 three-pointers in the NBA, while Rondo has hit 45 three-pointers in the NBA. Maybe Green and Green Rondo switches positions, and Green can also become the scoring leader, triple-double leader and assist leader."
Barkley ignored Kenny Smith's embarrassment.
I have to say that if there is comparison, it will be harmful.
"This season, Green's data for the Warriors is 3 points, 3 rebounds and assists per game, shooting 25% from the field, and 5% from three-point range. Rondo's data this season is 40.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Assists 2.5 steals, 55% field goal percentage, 45% three-point shooting percentage, and of course 54% free throw shooting percentage. Anyone with no IQ problem can benefit from Rondo's magical shooting percentage. You can see some clues, Kenny, can you see it?"
"Rondo, who took the free throw, couldn't catch Yes' pass."
Kenny Smith said awkwardly.
Those who tried to criticize the fact that Yes's organization is not that strong and its passing is not that magical, when they saw Rondo's magical three-point field goal percentage, they all did not dare to speak. Just Rondo's scoring data, they opened their mouths to criticize. Yes's passing and organization are not that strong, which really insults the intelligence of the world.
Rondo's offense is a real rookie!
"By the way, Dream Green's free throw shooting percentage this season is 0%. Although Rondo's free throw shooting percentage this season is a record low, Green's free throw shooting percentage in his rookie season is still higher than that of Rondo in any year in his entire career. high."
Barkley's meaning is obvious, that is, although Green's shooting and three-point shooting percentage are worse than Rondo's, that's because Green is a 9-year-old rookie and is not used to the NBA. In fact, Green's shooting and offense may not be better. Stronger than Rondo.
Kenny Smith did not refute, because he felt that what this damn fat man said was very reasonable.
At this moment, the players on both sides of the court were laughing and roaring. Kenny Smith looked intently and saw that the shooting contest between Dream Green and Rondo ended amid the heckles of the players on both sides.
Dream Green indeed defeated Rondo...
Damn it, the player with the worst offensive performance in the NBA this season can hammer Rondo during shooting training.
The Supersonics audience watching next to them were laughing and crying.
The game between the SuperSonics and the Warriors was really relaxed and enjoyable, but Warriors head coach Mark Jackson on the sidelines didn't feel any joy from the beginning.
Damn it, isn't it just that you beat Rondo, a rookie, in shooting training? See what you can do, and you actually beat your chest and howl like a wolf.
Those who don’t know may think you’ve made a killing blow in the game.
Mark Jackson now has a very big opinion on the three outstanding players from the University of Washington, very, very big.
Although Curry did not meet his expectations for Yes' successor, he is still capable. He can still be Beasley's assistant and is able to average 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season. Regarding his draft, It's definitely not a loss in terms of pick position, but it's a bit of a loss when you think that he was exchanged for Griffin, who averaged 23 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
As for Klay Thompson, although he did not meet his expectations and was unable to fulfill the role of the third leader in his tactical system, he was more than enough to be a shooter. He could average 2 points per game with a 40% three-point shooting rate. This data is already very good for a 9-year-old young rookie.
Only Dream Chaser Green is really useless!
He does have the chest-beating and howling that old-school head coaches like, but you are so weak that you can use that powerful hammer to cripple yourself and make yourself hoarse without any deterrent effect.
Anyway, Mark Jackson is full of opinions now.
His big opinions now are actually not just dissatisfaction with the three outstanding players of the University of Washington. The main reason that triggered all this dissatisfaction was that Jerry West did not discuss with him and the team's general manager, and refused without thinking. Garnett and Pierce were traded for Klay Thompson and others.
He can understand the refusal to replace Curry. Although Curry has not reached the second place he expected, he can still become a star.
But Klay Thompson et al...
Those are Garnett and Pierce.
If the Warriors can get it this season, they can really take off. Maybe Mark Jackson can win the NBA's best coach this season and join the ranks of famous coaches in one fell swoop.
But all of this was ruined by Jerry West.
Based on his status in the team and the league, he is certainly not qualified to compete with Jerry West. Therefore, Mark Jackson can only hold this breath in and has no way to vent it.
I really couldn't vent, my arms couldn't hold my thighs.
As I kept holding it back, it became what it is now, and I no longer like anything I see.
Of course, it was just something he didn't like. He didn't mean to vent to his players, otherwise the atmosphere within the Warriors wouldn't be so good.
For Curry, even if he regretted it, he never showed it.
"I don't care how many turnovers you have. People always talk about turnovers, but I don't care how many turnovers you have. In my opinion, you're one of the best point guards in the league. You're an All-Star. That's yours too. Team, so you can do whatever you want.”
"If a point guard comes specifically for you, Curry, I allow you to fight him back, and the loss will be mine."
This is what he often says in front of the team. Many people even think that he favors Curry and allows Curry to do whatever he wants in the team.
But he really had no choice.
His tactical philosophy does not match Curry's current personal style of play. Curry cannot be discarded and can only be allowed to play by himself.
It can be said that the current Warriors' coaching is really awkward.
As an old-school head coach, Mark Jackson gradually discovered that Jerry West's team formation dead end was to go the new-school way.
After failing to obtain the old-school coaching treasures of Garnett and Pierce, he even felt as if his heart was cold for a moment.
If his own tactical system cannot be implemented, he can only let Curry and Beasley play their own way. Trust them and they can play however they want. Isn't it redundant for him as a head coach to stand on the sidelines?
He is a proud man. Since they have different paths, why do they have to get together?
The team couldn't beat the old-school offense, and the team couldn't build up the old-school defensive system. Now, for him, standing on the sidelines and watching his disciples every game is really a kind of torture. He can't do anything. It can’t be done, it’s just a spectator who is relatively close to the stadium.
Before the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors, the focus of viewers around the world was whether the Seattle SuperSonics could continue their winning streak and pursue the Heat and Grizzlies.
As for whether the Warriors can create difficulties for the Seattle SuperSonics?
In other words, it is impossible for the Warriors to get upset on the road?
In fact, many people don’t have high expectations.
Even LeBron James himself doesn't have high expectations for the Warriors.
The Warriors have performed very well this season and are considered one of the representative teams of young teams.
But compared with stronger young teams such as the Thunder, Bulls, and Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors lack discipline!
There is no system in offense and no system in defense. The game relies entirely on Beasley, Curry and Jamal Crawford on the bench to lead their teammates.
It doesn't matter where you swing it.
Beasley, Curry and Jamal Crawford can really throw. If they really want to play against some ordinary strong teams, they are still very lethal.
But when it comes to playing the SuperSonics, the Grizzlies, the Heat or the Lakers, a team that has no system discipline, no tactical discipline, and is extremely casual, there is no threat at all.
Looking at the playful quarrel between the two teams before the start of this game, maybe the Warriors themselves never thought about winning here.
Except for Beasley, this team has nothing to watch.
Beasley…
James felt unhappy when he thought of this guy.
This arrogant boy actually defeated him in a singles match at the training ground.
No kidding, this boy who was once arrogant and has now become a saint is really strong in singles.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.
Except for Beasley, James looks down on the Warriors and other Warriors players, thinking they are all a bunch of noobs with no ambitions.
James's view somewhat misunderstands the Warriors.
Although the Warriors players had a lot of fun with the SuperSonics players before the game.
But once the game started, the Warriors players took all their hearts back.
In this game, the Warriors players were really very motivated.
"This is my first game in the NBA with my master. Let's not talk about winning or losing. Let's show our attitude and strength first!"
Curry's fighting spirit is particularly strong in this game.
And Curry's strong fighting spirit really gave Ye Si a headache.
What he fears most about the connection between him and Rondo this season is Curry's dog-skin plaster-style defense.
There is no room for Rondo to catch the ball.
In the NBA, no defensive player has ever defended Rondo like this for the whole game.
They all feel that they can’t save face.
They all felt that Kobe's short-term oppression lesson against Rondo was the ultimate lesson.
But Curry...
This rookie really has no idol baggage.
Moreover, Curry's sensitivity is really high, his movement without the ball is really strong, and Rondo really can't get rid of him.
In Ye's imagination, Rondo has many, many opponents to become the most successful scoring champion this season.
Kobe Bryant, Arenas, Iverson, James, Wade and so on.
But he really didn't expect that Rondo's real opponent would be Curry!
Being stuck by Curry like a dog-skin plaster, it was difficult for Rondo to find the opportunity to catch the ball. When he found the opportunity to catch the ball, Ye Si couldn't pass the ball when he was 76.
Either 76 feels it and Rondo doesn't get rid of it, or Rondo gets rid of it and 76 feels gone.
The Seattle SuperSonics and Golden State Warriors are two teams with crazy offenses this season.
Many people think that the SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors will be a game like thunder and fire.
I really didn't expect that the game between the SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors would be a defensive game.
After the first half, the score between the two teams was 4-40.
"Yes didn't pass many passes to Rondo in the first half. Yes was frantically chasing Curry throughout the first half!"
"Is this competition intended to teach lessons to your own students?"
Barkley, Kenny Smith and many others are curious, this game is really not like the SuperSonics game this season.
And in the second half, when Yes was no longer suffocating Curry on the defensive end, but was going crazy with Rondo on the offensive end, those who speculated that Yes was teaching Curry in this game were 100% sure.
"Yes, this game is about teaching Curry!"
"After Yes picked and rolled with Rondo, he just used various means to suppress Curry, and then did not attack, but passed the ball back to Rondo to attack. Yes was not to destroy Curry's confidence, but to educate Curry on How important NBA rivalry is!"
Ye Si really didn't think so much. His crazy pursuit of Curry really suppressed Curry's scoring, but Beasley on the other side really couldn't be suppressed by anyone.
If Curry is not dealt with in the second half, he will be slapped in the face by Curry and Beasley in this game.
Fortunately, the game between the Sonics and the Warriors ended. The Sonics defeated the Warriors 6-96 at home. Rondo scored a game-high 34 points on 20 shots in this game, 24 of which were scored in the second half.
On the other side, Durant and Beasley, who had a blast with each other throughout the game, both scored 30 points.
This result really gave Ye Si a feeling of false alarm.
"Master, my performance was terrible in this game."
Curry felt embarrassed to be stared at by Ye Si like this.
"You performed well in this game."
Clam?
Curry was a little confused.
A 6 in 6 is not considered good, right?
Master is too gentle to me, right?
Curry was touched.
Curry didn't realize at all that he almost killed his teacher just now...
James, who was in front of the TV, narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled like he was watching a show.
The Sonics and Yes won again, nineteen consecutive victories.
but!
In February 2009, the SuperSonics challenged the Memphis Grizzlies away from home.
This is the Sonics' next game schedule as shown on TV.
Supersonics versus Grizzlies!
The grizzly bear is about to shed its skin, and the dog-skin plaster of Yes and the Sonics is finally coming off!
What about the Heat and him?
The fisherman profits!
