Two Hundred and Eighty-Three: 100% 3-Point Shooting Rate?
Curry scored 5 points in a row without any mercy. Link could see that the pupil was holding his breath.
Indeed, Curry has been a little too dark this season. Injuries have been tormenting him, never stopping. People are almost forgetting that there is such a potential guard in the league.
If history does not shift, Nike will not even renew Curry's contract because of this, causing Under Armour to take a big advantage.
In short, Curry in this period has been flattened to the extreme. But in fact, Curry is really not weak. Curry didn't break out lately, he performed a lot of amazing performances before he became an A-list star in the league.
In his rookie season, Curry contributed a triple-double of 30+10+10. Only 5 people in NBA history have achieved this achievement. It is worth mentioning that he was only 4 points short of that game, so he could get 40+10+10!
In the second year of his career, Curry averaged 18 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate for the first two years of his career was more than 40%!
This guy has always been good, but has been underrated because of his thin frame and his shooting style. This undervaluation began in college, when Duke's old coach K gave up on recruiting Curry for fear that he would not be able to adapt to the intensity of the NCAA. In desperation, Curry chose the less famous Davidson College.
From college to the NBA, Curry has been holding his breath. It's just that in the first two seasons, he still has some attention. The first grade played the rookie competition, and the second grade also won a skill competition.
But this season went straight to the bottom, and Curry exploded.
Curry's performance of scoring 5 points in a row also woke up the Grizzlies players instantly. Golden State Warriors, today is not here to send warmth.
Everyone immediately became vigilant, so this time the attack was a lot more cautious. Conley was solidly organizing the offense from beyond the three-point line, and Gasol Jr. was in the paint, ready to single against Biedrins.
Biedrins was also a center who averaged 10+10 per game at his peak, but after he got a big contract with the Warriors in 2008, Biedrins began to regress.
First, he was taught by old Nelson that he lacked confidence. Second, after taking the contract, I also slack off. The third thing is that Mark Jackson had different requirements for the center after he took office, which led to Biedrins being abandoned, which further accelerated his fall.
Biedrins is basically useless now. Both the offensive and defensive ends are full of numbers... A starting center with an average of 1.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, really don't be too miserable.
Pau Gasol easily reached the basket and turned to score with a hook. Biedrins had nothing to do with the All-Star-level Gasol, and the Grizzlies finally stabilized the score.
5 to 2, the Grizzlies scored the first goal. However, just when everyone thought that the Grizzlies were going to start a steady and steady counterattack, the Warriors gave the Grizzlies another blow!
This time, Conley guarded Curry so tightly that he didn't even dare to give him the slightest space.
Who would have thought that Monta Ellis actually stood up.
Ellis is really unwilling to be left behind. In every game, he feels that he is not fighting against each other, but against Curry...
For this shot, Link focused his attention on Curry. The plan was that if Conley was thrown away, Link would make up for Curry as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Link focused on Curry, but was seized by his own opponent Ellis.
Ellis broke through immediately after receiving Curry's pass, and his speed was so fast that Link's lateral movement was one step slower.
Generally speaking, Link is against most of the second and third position players, and his speed will not be crushed. But facing Ellis, Link admitted that he was too slow!
After a flash of space, Ellis made a direct jumper while traveling. He leans forward and is very aggressive. Ellis in this period is definitely a big killer on the offensive end. It can be said that any point within the three-point line is his hot spot. Beyond the three-point line, the hit rate is also above the pass line.
Link blocked it in time, but because he was afraid of being fouled, he didn't dare to block it too hard.
In the end, Ellis's pull-up jumper hollowed into the net. 7 to 2, the Warriors are still suppressing the situation!
"Monta Ellis, you fart beautifully! When Stephen Curry was guarded, Ellis stood up. In the last game, Ellis made only 4 of 13 shots, and even 4 three-pointers. 0, which makes him questionable. Maybe today, Ellis can make a name for himself?"
After scoring, Ellis glanced at Curry, then quickly returned to defense. One Curry wasn't enough, now there's another Monta Ellis.
Golden State Warriors, come for real today!
"Monta Ellis and Curry, if they're both in shape, are definitely one of the most terrifying offense combos in the league. But both need the ball and they both want to score. So, there's a ball that happens every now and then. Not enough points. But just looking at it, Curry seems to be willing to share the ball with Ellis today." Hubie Brin is a little nervous, the Grizzlies have not lost a losing streak this season. It would not be worth it if the Warriors, a fish-belly team, had a losing streak.
In the following game, Curry and Ellis shot left and right. Both of them scored very well today. The Warriors relied on the attack and grabbed the score.
After the first quarter, the score became 28 to 25. The Grizzlies temporarily trailed the Warriors by 3 points. Thanks to the Grizzlies' not bad offense, the score was barely bitten.
In the first quarter, the Warriors' offense played quite well. Hollins believes that the next three quarters can not be better than this. As long as the Grizzlies play steadily, they can win the game sooner or later.
In the second quarter, Curry and Ellis told the world - we can be more crazy!
In the second quarter, Curry was unbeatable from beyond the arc. Whether it's a 3-point shot off the dribble, a 3-point shot off a catch or a 3-point shot off the screen, Curry is unstoppable!
In the second quarter, Curry scored 4 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 7 in a single quarter, and scored 16 points in the second quarter alone!
Curry's current performance has allowed Link to see his shadow in the future.
With just a 16-point quarter Curry, the Grizzlies might be able to handle it. But Monta Ellis was not far behind, and he also scored 14 points in a single quarter. This time, the Grizzlies couldn't stand it anymore.
Link really tried his best, and he slapped Ellis in the face several times. But there is no way, people just can enter. There was even a time when Ellis made a 360° turn in the air for a layup after reaching the inside line. Link had always thought that such exaggerated juggling movements could only be seen in games.
When Ellis could even score this kind of ball, Link knew that today, it was impossible to defend.
In the whole second quarter, Kwang Curry and Ellis combined, scored 30 points! In the end, the Warriors scored 37 points in a single quarter and entered the second half with an incredible 15-point lead!
At that moment, the fans in the entire FedEx Arena opened their mouths. 4 out of 4 out of 3 points in a single quarter, 6 out of 7 out of 7 overall, that baby face of No. 30, the palm is probably too hot to fry an egg!
Including the first quarter, Curry made 5 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 12 in the first half, and 23 points in the half!
During an interview at halftime, when a reporter said that Curry's three-point shooting rate was 100% in the first half of the game, Link couldn't believe it.
Elementary school students who get angry are really not easy to mess with.
Abusing superstars before becoming famous has always been one of Link's bad tastes. But today, I'm afraid it will be counter-abused.
