Chapter 007: A Mysterious Power from the East
The Oklahoma City Speeds' basketball arena quickly fell silent as Southern Division scoring leader Stephen Curry scored eight straight points, two unreasonable three-pointers and a brilliant breakaway layup.
"It's so memorable! Remembering that in March of this year, the little-known Wildcats eliminated many seeded teams in a row to reach the quarterfinals, scoring more than 30 points in three consecutive games, and Stephen Curry has a different energy than his body. Perhaps also because of the three-point point he is famous, Reggie Miller still takes great care of Stephen Curry when commentating.
For some reason, Durant prefers Stephen Curry's style of play and the Wildcats' pass-and-cut style of play, because this style of play is not hard, and the endless singles are too torturous and too lucky.
Westbrook is now a complete Griffin fan, and as soon as Griffin gets the ball, he shouts to dunk him, dunk him.
McLop called a timeout for the first time with the score on the court at 19-23 and the Wildcats trailing by four points after the first ten minutes of the first half.
Anthony Beasley had been gasping for breath, and the confrontation with Blake Griffin was a little too difficult for him, and he had done his best to carry and top Griffin.
Jeff Kapoor, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Speeds, took advantage of the timeout and told the players to be bold and shoot as long as Griffin had a position under the basket.
"I believe in Blake's rebounding ability, the Wildcats' interior and we are not at the same level." Jeff Kapoor found that now as soon as Griffin gets the ball, the Wildcats will wrap him up, and instead of letting Griffin work hard to go single, it is better for Griffin to show that he is also a dominant rebounding ability.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Wildcats outside small forward McMillan fired, but unfortunately the white shooter's shooting percentage was not comparable to Curry's at all, the ball bounced off the frame, Anthony Beasley wanted to jump up and grab the rebound, but unfortunately Blake Griffin was a head taller than him, well, not height, it was bounce.
"Blake's seventh rebound of the night! He dominates the forbidden area. Reggie Miller said.
Rush, the outside shooter of the Speed Team, counterattacked with three points and did not score!
Stephen Curry was ready to counterattack, but in the Wildcats' restricted area, Blake Griffin was like Optimus Prime, he jumped too high, and a wonderful shot was picked in the back of the head! Anthony Beasley was robbed of a very humiliating headboard by Griffin!
Griffin passes to Rush again, and Rush is not ambiguous, and then throws!
Still not entering!
Anthony Beasley is on the verge of a breakdown, another headshot! It's Blake Griffin again!
The White Monster unscrupulously showed its bounce and continued to pass to Rush in the empty seat!
Unfortunately, tonight's basket was not friendly to the home team, the speedy team, and the ball bounced out after a round in the hoop.
The fans of the Speed Team sighed regretfully, but don't worry, Griffin jumped again!
stepped on the headboard three times in a row, and this time Griffin directly topped Anthony Beasley, which is going to be dunked!
Griffin's feet were like springs, and Anthony Beasley was completely broken!
Bang dang!
The hoop is trembling!
Blake Griffin scored 12 points tonight, and he's already got a double-double!
"Oh my God! It's only been 11 minutes! Reggie Miller exclaimed.
The home field was in full swing, with fans chanting Blake's name and Griffin completely dominating the penalty area.
McLop couldn't stand it anymore, not that he felt that Griffin was too bullying, after all, he was prepared before the game, but he was worried that Anthony Beasley's confidence would be completely destroyed, you must know that the players in Davidson College are all top students, and Anthony Beasley's academic performance is very good, McLopp and Jennings confirmed their eyes and let Lin Yi warm up.
With 6 minutes and 57 seconds left in the first half, Lin Yi ushered in his NCAA debut.
He replaced Anthony Beasley, who was a little frustrated, playing almost thirteen minutes, he didn't score a point, only grabbed two rebounds, which was terrible, and Griffin's dunk and three consecutive headbutts made him wonder if he was fit to play basketball.
"It's a great fight, leave it to me." Lin Yi patted Anthony Beasley on the shoulder, after all, he was still very grateful to this big black man for taking time out to accompany him for one-on-one training every day.
"Lin, Blake is strong......" Anthony Beasley's mood improved a bit, and he reminded Lin Yidao.
Lin Yi nodded.
He certainly knew that Blake Griffin was strong.
Although the future always thinks that Harden and Curry are better than Griffin in the rearrangement of the '09 draft, at this stage, absolutely no one dares to question Blake Griffin's top pick, and even if the Clippers were to pick again, they would also choose Blake Griffin.
You haven't been beaten by Griffin, and you're even embarrassed to say that you fought with the Clippers, you know, the Gasol family also got a dunk of the century.
Lin Yi is taller than Griffin, but his body is a little inadequate compared to Griffin's muscles.
"The Wildcats have put on their backup center, a center from China, oh, there are so many big men in China." For China, Reggie Miller's impression is that he is still a big man in addition to being a big man.
It was the Wildcats' turn to attack, and the score was 29-37, and if it weren't for Curry's ability to shoot three-pointers and rely on free throws to survive, the game would have been spent sooner rather than later.
"Stephen, keep your foul in check." Lin Yi pinched Curry's baby face.
Stephen Curry nodded, not reminding him that Curry had already committed two fouls.
"Let's start our pick-and-roll!" Curry believes in his tacit understanding with Lin Yi, and he also believes in Lin Yi's outside projection ability, after all, since he was a child, Curry rarely lost games related to three-point shooting, and even his NBA-level shooter dad had a hard time beating him after he was in high school.
Dell Curry in the audience was also attracted by Lin Yi, this is what Stephen said about his roommate who suddenly grew 40 cm taller?
But he looks so thin, can he withstand Blake Griffin's devastation?
But then Dell Curry also thought of his son, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, did he also doubt Stephen's ability to play basketball in high-intensity confrontations?
Dell Curry remembered Stephen's stubborn look when he used his connections, but Duke and North Carolina schools were only willing to give Stephen a day spot.
Dell Curry never thought Stephen would make it to the NBA because he was really too thin.
"Your son will definitely make a lot of money in the future, come to me, I will give him a full scholarship, and he will be the core of my score." McLopp, the amazing coach, touched the Curry family with his words at the beginning.
