Chapter 971 Curry 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 atmosphere of tension 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 the 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 16 per game. They are so outstanding. 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 8 three-pointers per game."
After Barkley laughed, Kenny Smith had an awkward 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 145 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.
It has to be said that if there is comparison, it will be harmful.
"This season, Green's data for the Warriors is 3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 25% from the field, and 15% 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 field goal percentage, and, of course, 54% free throw percentage. Anyone with no problem with their IQ can benefit from Rondo’s magical shooting percentage. There are some clues in it, Kenny, do you see it?"
"Rondo, who took the free throw, couldn't catch Yes' pass."
Kenny Smith said awkwardly.
The groups trying to hack Yes are not that strong,
People who pass the ball are not that magical. When they saw Rondo's magical three-point shooting percentage, they all didn't dare to speak. With Rondo's scoring data, Yes's passing and organization are not that strong. , that 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 80%. 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 any year in Rondo's 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 19-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 amidst the hecklings of the players on both sides.
Dream Green did defeat Rondo...
Damn it, the player with the worst offensive performance in the NBA this season can hit 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 did not 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 that you have 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 second-in-command. He can also average 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season. Regarding his draft, It's definitely not a loss in terms of draft position, but it's a bit of a loss when you think that he was exchanged for Griffin who averaged 23 points, 12 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 12 points per game with a 40% three-point shooting rate. This data is already very good for a 19-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 fucking incompetent that you can use that powerful hammer to cripple yourself and make yourself hoarse without any deterrence.
Anyway, Mark Jackson is full of opinions now.
In fact, his current dissatisfaction is not only about the three great players of the University of Washington. The main reason for all this dissatisfaction is that Jerry West did not discuss it with him and the general manager of the team, and rejected the trade of Garnett and Pierce for Klay Thompson without thinking.
He can understand the refusal to trade Curry. Although Curry did not reach his expectation of Yes No. 2, he can also become a star with the naked eye.
But Klay Thompson and others...
That's Garnett and Pierce.
If the Warriors can get them this season, they can really take off. Maybe Mark Jackson can even get the best head coach of the NBA this season and become a famous coach in one fell swoop.
But all of this was ruined by Jerry West.
With his position in the team and the league, he certainly has no qualifications to compete with Jerry West, so Mark Jackson can only hold this breath and can't vent it.
There is really no way to vent it, and the arm can't bend the thigh.
Holding it in, it has become like this now, and nothing is pleasing to the eye.
Of course, he just didn't like something, and he didn't mean to vent to his players, otherwise the atmosphere in the Warriors wouldn't be so good.
No matter how much he regretted Curry, he never showed it.
"I don't care how many mistakes you make. People always talk about mistakes, but I don't care how many times you make mistakes. In my opinion, you are one of the best point guards in the league. You are an All-Star player. This is also your team, so do whatever you want."
"If a point guard comes specifically for you, Curry, I allow you to fight him back, and the loss is my fault."
This is what he often said in the team, in front of the team, and even many people think that he is partial to Curry and allows Curry to do whatever he wants in the team.
But he really has no choice.
His tactical concept is inconsistent with Curry's current personal style of play, and Curry can't be abandoned, so he can only let Curry play by himself.
It can be said that his coaching of the current Warriors is really awkward.
As an old-school head coach, Mark Jackson gradually discovered that Jerry West's dead end in team formation is to go the new school way.
After failing to get the old-school coaching relics Garnett and Pierce, he even felt cold for a moment.
His own tactical system could not be played, so he could only let Curry and Beasley play their own games, trust them, and let them play whatever they want. Isn't it redundant for him, the head coach, to stand on the sidelines?
He is a proud man. Since they have different ideas, why must they get together?
The team can't play the old-school offense, and the team can't build the old-school defensive system. Now, for him, standing on the sidelines and watching his disciples in every game is really a torment. He can't do anything. He is just a spectator who is closer to the court.
Before the game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Golden State Warriors, the focus of the audience around the world was whether the Seattle Supersonics could continue their winning streak and keep chasing the Heat and the Grizzlies.
As for whether the Warriors can create difficulties for the Seattle Supersonics?
Or is it possible for the Warriors to upset on the road?
In fact, many people are not very optimistic.
Even LeBron James himself does not have much expectation for the Warriors.
The Warriors have performed very well this season and are considered one of the representative teams of young teams.
However, compared with the stronger young teams such as Thunder, Bulls and Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors lack discipline very much!
There is no system in offense and defense. The game depends on Beasley, Curry and Jamal Crawford in the substitute lineup to lead their teammates to swing.
Swing wherever you can.
Beasley, Curry and Jamal Crawford can really throw. If they really play against some ordinary strong teams, they are still very lethal.
But if they play against teams like Supersonics, Grizzlies or their Heat or Lakers, such a team without system discipline, tactical discipline and extremely casual does not pose any threat at all.
Look at the two teams' hip-hop and playful appearance before the game started. Maybe the Warriors themselves did not think about winning here in this game.
There is nothing to watch in this team except Beasley.
Beasley...
James felt unhappy when he thought of this guy.
At the beginning, this arrogant kid really beat him in singles in the training ground.
No kidding, this kid who was once arrogant and now a saint is really strong in singles.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit it.
Except for Beasley, James looks down on the Warriors and other players of the Warriors, thinking that they are all a bunch of noobs with no ambition.
James's view is a bit of a misunderstanding of the Warriors.
Although the Warriors players had a lot of fun with the Sonics players before the game.
But after the game started, the Warriors players put all their hearts back.
In this game, the Warriors players were really very motivated.
"This is the first game with the master in the NBA. Let's not talk about winning or losing first, let's show our attitude and strength first!"
Curry's fighting spirit in this game was particularly strong.
And Curry's strong fighting spirit really gave Yes a headache.
This season, he and Rondo are most afraid of Curry's dog-skin plaster defense.
Rondo is so covered that he has no space to receive the ball.
In the NBA, no defensive player has ever defended Rondo like this throughout the game.
They all feel embarrassed.
They all think that Kobe's short-term pressure on Rondo is the ultimate.
But Curry...
This rookie really has no idol burden.
And Curry's sensitivity is really high, and his off-ball running is really strong. Rondo really can't get rid of it.
In Yes's imagination, Rondo has many opponents to become the most successful scoring champion this season.
Kobe, Arenas, Iverson, James, Wade, etc.
But he really didn't expect that Rondo's real opponent was Curry!
Being covered by Curry like a dog-skin plaster, Rondo found it difficult to find a chance to receive the ball. Even if he found a chance to receive the ball, Yes had no way to pass the ball when the 76ers were in the right position.
Either the 76ers got the touch and Rondo didn't get rid of it, or Rondo got rid of it and the 76ers lost the touch.
The Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors are two teams that have been very crazy in offense this season.
Many people think that the SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors will be a game that is 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 48 to 40.
"Yes didn't pass the ball to Rondo much in the first half. Yes was crazy chasing Curry in the whole first half!"
"Is Yes trying to teach his students in this game?"
Barkley, Kenny Smith and many others are very curious. This game is really not like the game of the SuperSonics this season.
In the second half, when Yes was no longer pinching Curry on the defensive end, but was crazy with Rondo on the offensive end, those who speculated that Yes was teaching Curry in this game were 100% sure.
"Yes is teaching Curry in this game!"
"Yes, after the pick-and-roll with Rondo, he just suppressed Curry with various means, and then did not attack, but passed the ball back to Rondo to attack. Yes did not want to destroy Curry's confidence, but to teach Curry how important confrontation is in the NBA!"
Yes really didn't think so much. He chased Curry frantically and suppressed Curry's score, but Beasley on the other side was really unstoppable.
If Curry was not dealt with in the second half, he would be slapped in the face by Curry and Beasley in this game.
Fortunately, the game between the Supersonics and the Warriors ended in the end. The Supersonics defeated the Warriors 116 to 96 at home. Rondo scored 34 points with 11 of 20 shots in this game, the highest on the spot, of which 24 of the 34 points were scored in the second half.
On the other side, Durant and Beasley, who exploded in the whole game, both scored 30 points.
This result really made Yes feel like a false alarm.
"Master, I played so badly in this game."
Curry felt embarrassed to be stared at by Yes.
"You played well in this game."
Huh?
Curry was a little confused.
How can 6 out of 18 be considered good?
Isn't the master too gentle to me?
Curry was very touched.
Curry didn't realize that he almost killed his master just now...
James in front of the TV narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile like watching a play appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Supersonics and Yes won again, 19 consecutive wins.
But!
On December 11, 2009, the Supersonics challenged the Memphis Grizzlies away.
This is the schedule of the Supersonics' next game on TV.
Supersonics vs. Grizzlies!
The Grizzlies are going to peel off, and the dog-skin plaster of Yes and the Supersonics is finally going to fall off!
And what about the Heat and him?
The fisherman gets the benefit!
