NBA: At the beginning of the full-level power, Curry was stunned by me

The media has been waiting for this day for a long time.

The Splash Brothers are so popular, and now there is a new Splash Brother!

And they meet again in the playoffs, this is simply the opponent with the most traffic!

"Mr. Zhou Yang, the Clippers have brought you a lot of trouble in the regular season. When we meet in the playoffs, do you have any targeted tactics?"

Zhou Yang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Our two teams are very familiar with each other. We don't have any special tactics. It depends on who plays better!"

"In this way, will you continue to play against the Clippers?" The reporter asked excitedly. Like many fans, he is very much looking forward to the confrontation between the Splash Brothers and Thompson and Paul!

Zhou Yang said with a smile: "It is very possible, but it also depends on the specific situation. Paul has a strong ability to control the rhythm of the game, and we are ready."

The reporter looked at Curry again and asked, "Stephen, I heard that you and Thompson grew up together and have always had a good relationship, right?"

Curry nodded: "Yes, Thompson and I have played and practiced together since we were young."

"Then have you ever thought about playing on the same team as Thompson?"

Curry smiled: "Of course, I thought about it a long time ago, but some things are not based on my will. Now I am on the same team with Brother Yang, very happy, and won the championship. If there is a chance in the future talk later!"

The reporter said: "If you can be on the same team, then you are the real Splash Brothers!"

Other reporters also echoed, looking forward to it.

But Zhou Yang frowned, and interjected lightly: "Why do you think this way? Even if we are good friends in private, is it not good to be an opponent on the court? Why do you have to play brother basketball?"

The reporter was left speechless by Zhou Yang's question, not knowing what to say...

……

For the Clippers, Paul and Thompson were also interviewed by the media.

Having just defeated the Lakers, the morale of the Clippers has skyrocketed.

So both Paul and Thompson seem to be in a good mood.

"Chris, beat the Lakers, do you have anything to say?"

Paul smiled and replied: "The Lakers are very strong. We were able to defeat the Lakers in seven games, proving that we are the stronger one. I am proud of my teammates!"

The reporter asked again: "The fans call you the new Splash Brothers. Do you have the confidence to beat the Warriors' Splash Brothers?"

Paul nodded confidently: "Of course, we will beat them, but I don't like the title Splash Brothers. We should have other titles."

The reporters became interested and asked, "Then which title do you think sounds better?"

Paul scratched his head: "I haven't figured it out yet. After defeating the Warriors, I hope the fans can give us a fun name again."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Clay, this is your first year as a rookie and you have played such an efficient performance. What are your expectations for the playoffs?"

Thompson is a representative of people who don't talk too much, and he is a rookie now, and he doesn't know how to deal with the media.

So he simply replied: "I just want to beat the Warriors, enter the Western Conference Finals, then enter the Finals, and win the championship!"

The reporter was very interested in Thompson's arrogance, and asked again: "I heard that you and Stephen Curry are good friends, are you?"

Thompson nodded and said, "Yes, but this has nothing to do with the game. I will lock up Stephen during the game and won't let him take a shot!"

Paul nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Thompson's words. A rookie needs to be so young and energetic.

……

08:30 p.m., Oracle Arena in Golden State.

In the second round of the playoffs between the Warriors and the Clippers, the first game started.

When warming up before the game, Curry deliberately walked over and wanted to chat with Thompson, after all, this is Golden State's home court.

But Thompson kept his face cold and avoided deliberately, embarrassing Curry.

Curry was not angry, he knew what Thompson meant, so he could only smile and walked away silently.

The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Tony Allen.

The old Nelson mentioned Tony Allen as the starter, because the Clippers' outside attack power is too strong, and the inside also needs help defense.

The Clippers' starting lineup is Paul, Thompson, Griffin, Jordan and Caron Butler.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, Jordan grabbed the first wave of possession.

Although Chandler is already a top blue-collar center, Jordan's explosive power is indeed even more explosive!

Paul holds the ball in the backcourt and advances forward.

Curry single-handedly defends Paul.

After increasing his strength, it was too difficult for Paul to hit Curry single-handedly, so Paul didn't bother, and directly asked Griffin to come up to cover and block Curry.

Paul quickly traversed and Turkoglu was delayed.

However, Paul's ability to fight big is very strong. After two consecutive changes of direction, he got rid of Turkoglu and hit the penalty area.

Jordan accelerated, bypassed Chandler, and jumped high. Paul threw the ball lightly and accurately passed it to the upper right of the basket.

boom!

Jordan dunked the basket vigorously and scored two points first!

Although everyone knows that this is the Clippers' way of scoring, they just can't prevent it.

Paul's passing ability and Jordan's explosive jumping ability are a perfect combination!

2: 0!

Warriors attack.

Curry dribbled the ball for half court. Facing Paul, he didn't call a screen and wanted to hit Paul directly.

But he underestimated Paul's little trick.

The moment Curry changed direction, Paul elbowed Curry's ribs, and Curry stopped in pain instantly.

Paul took the opportunity to break the ball and was ready to fight back.

Curry had no choice but to make a tactical foul and hold Paul back.

The referee blew his whistle and gave Curry a foul, and the Clippers sent a sideline kick.

Curry held his ribs and argued with the referee, but the referee was unmoved.

Paul's movements are very subtle, and referees generally can't find them.

And there is a default unspoken rule in the league, that is, as long as the foul actions of small players are not excessive, they should be ignored.

Although Curry is not much taller than Paul.

The Clippers attacked, Paul and Griffin played another pick-and-roll, and Griffin went to the basket and dunked!

The Warriors' four and five positions are not as talented as the Clippers, and it is really difficult to play.

4:0, the Clippers lead.

Old Nelson looked serious on the sidelines. He knew that the Clippers would definitely be a tough opponent this year and would not be easy to play against.

Even Old Nelson felt that if the Clippers beat the Warriors and entered the Western Conference Finals, then the Clippers would definitely be the champions this year!

Seeing that his teammates were a little confused, Zhou Yang immediately encouraged and shouted: "Brothers, let's play our own tactics, it's okay!"

The Warriors attacked, Curry did not compete with Paul this time, and also called a screen, Turkoglu came up to block Paul.
