I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 131 After the game
The point difference came to ten.

Warriors possession.

This time it's their turn to be nervous. If they fail to score this round, the Mavericks are likely to widen the score difference to more than 10 points.

If this is the case, they can hardly make mistakes in the future, otherwise, they are likely to be taken away by a wave.

In other words, this round is a crucial round for them!
This time it was Ellis who caught the ball in the backcourt and slowly dribbled it to the frontcourt.

However, although it was Monta Ellis who took the ball, Stephen Curry's expression was more dignified.

Taking the ball in the backcourt of Ellis is the Warriors' No. 5 tactic—using Monta Ellis' pure speed to tear apart the opponent's defense, and then handing the ball to teammates who run out of space through the screen. The first choice point is naturally Stephen Curry. This is the tactic he is most familiar with, and it is also the tactic he has been using for three years in the NCAA.

However, I have to say that this tactic would not make much sense if Curry didn’t run out of space. Wright has the ability to cut, and David Lee is better at singles. As for Biedrins, his style of play is doomed.

Therefore, this tactic is not so much a first, second and third choice, but in fact, this tactic was created for Curry.The success of Davidson University in the NCAA shows that this tactic can give full play to Curry's three-point ability.

At such a critical moment, playing such a tactic, the Warriors undoubtedly put all the pressure on Curry.It is normal for Curry to have some changes in his face at this time!
Lin Yang assisted Ellis this time.

Ellis originally walked left, but was restricted by Lin Yang, so he could only break through to the right.

Ellis didn't have very good passing ability. Curry watched him go to the right to break through, so he could only run off the ball to the right. But just as he ran outside the three-point line on the right under the cover of Biedrins, Lin Yang also ran in front of him in the next second and stopped him in time.

Curry went around and got back outside the three-point line on the left.

Lin Yang failed to keep up this time.

It's just that he couldn't keep up, and Curry couldn't get the ball in time because Ellis couldn't find him, his vision wasn't great, and the ball went to Wright.

Fortunately, Wright found Curry and sent the ball to Curry.

It's a pity that there was such a delay. When Curry got the ball, Lin Yang ran in front of him again. Curry made a simple adjustment and shot directly!
It wasn't that he had much confidence, but that the 24-second attack time limit was approaching, and he had no choice but to make a move.

Besides, this can't be regarded as an opportunity to make a move.

Although it is not considered to be considered by others, it is beyond his control!
"Dangdang!"

The ball slammed straight into the basket and bounced out.

"Stephen failed to score!"

Kenny Smith watched the ball pop up, his voice couldn't stop regretting, he noticed that Curry ran out of the open space early on, if the pass could have been made in time, Curry would have made a wide open shot, and with his touch tonight, there is not much difference between an open shot and giving him a point.

Steph deserves to be on a better team!

Kenny Smith suddenly had this sentence in his heart...

Marion picked up the rebound, and Lin Yang suppressed the rhythm a little, as if he didn't intend to play a fast break.

Keith Smart breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly signaled the Warriors players to change their defensive formation.

But at the same time that the Warriors players were changing formations, Lin Yang suddenly sped up and ran towards the Warriors' three-point line. Curry seemed to be alert, and immediately posted over.

Lin Yang changed direction to the right at this time, and the range was not large. Curry followed up easily, but Lin Yang completed the entire direction change and went to the right, and he was completely blocked!

Another pick and roll!

Feeling the familiar hardness, Curry knew without thinking that it was Tyson Chandler who ran to Lin Yang to do the pick-and-roll again.

Why is this guy so aggressive in the pick and roll?
"Shh!"

Lin Yang made a shot from outside the three-point line.

"Wow ah ah!"

The Mavericks fans at the scene cheered again.

"Lin's fourth three-pointer in the third quarter can be said to be the game-killing goal!" Kenny Smith slammed the table. He didn't know how many times he slapped the table today. Anyway, he just wanted to slap the table now. There is no other way to replace his excitement except this method.

In fact, it was more like he lifted up the chair and smashed it. This is the way to fully express his own excitement!
This is Lin Yang's fourth three-pointer. There is no doubt that he staged another "miracle moment" today. More importantly, the "miracle moment" staged by Lin Yang was when Curry first scored four three-pointers in the third quarter. This made his series of three-pointers "rain" even more exciting.

Just look at the atmosphere of the entire scene of the Mavericks.

"Listen to the cheers! When did this player cheer so much for Dirk, Jason Kidd, and anyone other than Jason Terry?"

"Today, Lin did it! As a Huaxia player, he conquered this arena with his performance. In fact, he made the people in this arena cry out very early, but tonight, he completely conquered this arena with his performance!"

This new guy is amazing!
As Kenny Smith said, the fans in the entire route center arena are all expressing their sincere admiration for Lin Yang's "miracle moment".

Stephen Curry's performance tonight was really outstanding, especially his consecutive three-point goals just now allowed the Warriors to close the point difference to 3 points!
At that time, what all the Mavericks fans were thinking in their hearts was that someone from the Mavericks must stand up as soon as possible to reopen the score difference. The "Black Eight Miracle" made these Mavericks fans unwilling to lose to the Warriors no matter who they lost to!
More importantly, this Warriors team is no longer the Warriors team that year!

Is it possible that you have to lose like this?

Originally, this group of Mavericks fans thought that the person who stood up would be Dirk Nowitzki. This man has obviously become more reliable this season, especially at critical moments.

But none of them thought that Lin Yang would stand up in the end!

To be honest, Stephen Curry's outburst made them temporarily forget about Lin Yang, and there is no way around it!Curry's performance outside the three-point line tonight is really good. From the first quarter so far, this guy has scored 8 three-pointers!

What is this concept?
The current NBA record for three-pointers in a single game is 12!
Curry only needs to make 4 more three-pointers to tie this record!
This can no longer be described as crazy...

Lin Yang was temporarily forgotten, and it seems that there is no big problem!

But what the Mavericks fans didn't expect was that the rookie who was temporarily forgotten by them gave a strong response. Curry hit a total of four three-pointers in the third quarter, and Lin Yang returned all four three-pointers in less than 4 minutes!

The point difference came to 13 points, and the game gradually lost its suspense.

In the next more than one quarter of the game, the Mavericks maintained a 13-point difference until the end.

The moment the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 113 to 99!

The Mavericks eventually won the game.

Stephen Curry left the field sadly. He performed very well tonight. In less than three quarters, he made 8 three-pointers.

And after the whole game, he made a total of 9 three-pointers!

It is worth mentioning that he didn't take many three-pointers tonight, only 17 times, and his three-point shooting percentage in this game exceeded 50%!

If you only make one or two three-pointers and get a 50% three-point shooting percentage, not many people may be surprised.

But Curry made a total of 17 three-pointers. This is almost the total number of shots taken by a team's main players in a game, and the shooting percentage can still be kept above 50%. This is enough to show how good Curry is outside the three-point line tonight!

Curry's final score was 35 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists!

Among them, the score is his new high this season, even if he is only 5 points away from the highest score in a single game of his career...

It's just that at this moment, his expression can't hide his loneliness. Although his performance is good enough, he still can't be happy. The reason is very simple, because Lin Yang's performance is also very good!
Lin Yang scored a total of 28 points, 9 assists, and 2 rebounds in this game. Although his score was not as high as his, Lin Yang's assists were almost twice as high as his. In the end, his score was only 7 points higher than Lin Yang's. This is not a big gap!

More importantly, everyone knows that the turning point of this game was when he hit a three-pointer to close the point difference to 3 points. Lin Yang stepped forward at the critical moment of the team and hit three three-pointers to help the team reopen the point difference.

This is also the reason why he is so depressed. It can even be said that the reason why he is so depressed is that he was not able to continue to confront Lin Yang at the critical moment, which accounted for most of the reasons!
He couldn't forgive himself for not being able to outperform Lin Yang at the critical moment!

This reminded him of how he felt a little ashamed when he said that he was undoubtedly the better one in the pre-match interview.

He had to admit that although his performance tonight was very good, he was not as good as Lin Yang. This guy who has been frequently compared with him by the outside world is indeed very good!
"I look forward to the next duel with him. He is a very good opponent. I believe that our next encounter will be even more exciting. I also believe that next time we meet, we will be the final winner!"

However, it is admitted that when Curry was interviewed after the game, he said very confidently that he would win the game the next time they met, and he would win the game with a better performance than Lin Yang!
……

"Did he really say that? Well, I also admit that Stephen put a lot of pressure on me, but it's just that he put some pressure on me. He hasn't defeated me yet. If he thinks that he can defeat me in the next encounter, then ok, I'll wait for his revenge!"

Lin Yang heard a reporter tell Curry's declaration of war against him at the post-match press conference, and he fought back with high spirits.

The confrontation tonight was really enjoyable!

Stephen Curry deserves to be the man who ruled the entire NCAA back then. This kind of scoring explosive power is still terrifying in the NBA. As long as he makes a pass, it feels like there is no three-pointer he can't score!
Fortunately, the "feeling hot" system is powerful today, and the "feeling hot" time was activated in time.Otherwise, if Curry is cast again during that time, the game may be suspended!

"So Lin, what do you think of the first start of your career? How does it feel to play this game?"

A Huaxia reporter asked questions about Lin Yang's first appearance as a starter.

This question is naturally because many domestic fans are looking forward to Lin Yang's debut as a starter for the first time in his career.

"I am very satisfied with my own state. Jason's injury was unplanned. When Rick informed me to enter the starting lineup, my first reaction was that I had to fill in the vacancy when Jason was not around. Only in this way can I complete my task!"

Lin Yang smiled when he said this, "Of course, I am very satisfied with the final result, I did what I should do!"

28 points and 9 assists. This is basically a stat that even Jason Kidd at his peak would find it difficult to easily get. Hmm...not assists. Jason Kidd at his peak was as easy as eating and drinking with 9 assists. But his scoring ability is really not outstanding. If you want to score 28 points, you have to catch up with a good offensive state!
In short, Lin Yang's performance tonight is definitely worthy of his starting status!
What's more, the Mavericks did win this game!
……

"Although it is still difficult to see the clues now, we can make such an assumption. For many years to come, Lin and Stephen will be compared together. Compared with their first meeting, they collided with such fierce sparks. We don't know how far they can grow in the future. But as long as the fans who watched this game, I believe that everyone will be full of expectations for their next meeting. It can be said that another group of old enemies in the league has been born!"

After the game between the Mavericks and the Warriors, ESPN specially published a report titled "Lin Yang and Stephen Curry, just like Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson back then".

In this report, Lin Yang and Stephen Curry are called another lifelong enemy of the alliance!
Of course, as far as today's game is concerned, they are indeed worthy of the title of "enemy of life". After all, such a confrontation scene is rare even in the NBA!
