Chapter 66 Curry slides and dunks through the crotch! Curry misses three shots!

Quicken Loans Center, USA
At the training session of the Cavaliers players, everyone seemed a little reserved and did not have the excitement brought by the 17-game winning streak.

The 20th consecutive win is just around the corner, which is a psychological pressure for the Cavaliers and the people. It has come to this stage and no one doesn't want to try to break the record.

"I think you guys, like me, don't want to miss the chance to win 20 games in a row."

Before the training session ended, Byron Scott also provided some psychological counseling to his young players.

"But compared to a winning streak, I hope you can be yourself more."

be yourself.

These three words made the Cavaliers players' expressions slightly moved.

In fact, the strength gap between many NBA players is not as big as imagined, but many players just fail to perform at their best. One important reason is that the team's lineup prevents them from being themselves.

Byron Scott knows this very well, especially since most of the Cavaliers' players are young rookies. To get them to perform at their best under pressure requires some spiritual encouragement.

"Let me set some goals for some of you this season."

Byron Scott first glanced at Wang Yan, but he did not spend too much time looking at the leader of his own team, and soon his eyes fell on Kyrie Irving.

"Kyrie, you are averaging 8.2 assists per game, but I think you can do better. Oscar Robertson averaged 9.7 assists per game in his rookie season, making him the first rookie player in NBA history to win the assists title, but I think you can do better than him."

It is almost impossible for Irving to win the Rookie of the Year award.

After all, there is Wang Yan, the MVP in his rookie season.

However, it is not impossible for Irving to break the highest average assists per game in his rookie season and even win the season's assists king.

as predicted.

Owen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Irving's selection to the All-Rookie Team is a foregone conclusion, but this honor means nothing to him.

If he can surpass Oscar, he will have the most assists in his rookie season.

That also added a strong touch to his career.

"Jimmy Butler, you know, you have always been the backbone of our perimeter defense, and I always felt that you could definitely be selected to the All-Defensive Team."

Selected to the All-Defensive Team in his rookie season.

Regardless of whether it is the first or second team, being able to get this honor is undoubtedly a huge encouragement for rookie players.

Jimmy Butler couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Isaiah, you have to know that there has never been a player in the NBA who can win the Best Sixth Man Award in his rookie season."

"Tristan, you are averaging 8.9 rebounds per game right now, but I know you are more than that. You are more than worthy of a double-double."

"..."

Byron Scott set a goal for each player.

These are all tailor-made.

As expected, after Byron Scott finished speaking, everyone felt restless.

After the head coach finished speaking, Wang Yan, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"In addition to the ones just mentioned, you all have another identity."

Wang Yan said righteously: "You are all Cleveland's championship puzzle pieces!"

Wang Yan's words directly elevated all the evaluations to a higher level.

. . .

Two days later, the Cavaliers welcomed their 18th consecutive victory opponent at home.

The Golden State Warriors, who had been defeated by them before.

Stephen Curry also met his nemesis Wang Yan.

And worth mentioning.

The Warriors' former boss Monta Ellis can only sit on the sidelines in a suit and tie due to injury, which means that Stephen Curry will have more firing rights.

Sure enough, after Wang Yan clocked in at the beginning, Stephen Curry took advantage of a screen from David Lee and shot a three-pointer from two steps outside the three-point line.

3 is better than 2
"Stephen Curry shot from this position. It was at least 8 meters away."

The commentator at the scene didn't even react: "This is how Stephen plays. He, like Wang Yan, is the most different guy in the entire league."

"And he is constantly expanding his attack range. He is the player in the NBA who shoots the most three-pointers from 8 meters away."

"What's even crazier is that according to statistics, his three-point shooting percentage from more than 8 meters away is actually two percentage points higher than that from within 8 meters."

However, as soon as the commentator finished speaking, Irving assisted Wang Yan in a layup.

“It’s a completely different way of playing.”

"Stephen strives to score from farther away, while Wang Yan is very good at scoring from closer to the basket."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the Warriors' counterattack followed.

Curry faced Irving, stopped suddenly after breaking through, and then with 20 seconds left on the offensive time, he shot a 45-degree three-pointer.

"hiss……"

"Stephen's touch is really explosive tonight!"

"Isn't he the answer to ending the Cavaliers' 18-game winning streak?"

After making the three-pointer, Curry stuck out his tongue excitedly.

Then he shook his shoulders towards Wang Yan who was returning to defense.

This is Curry's signature celebration.

Of course, this is not Curry challenging Wang Yan.

It's just a celebration of my own touch.

But that was it.

All the players on the Cavaliers looked at Curry.

They all smiled mysteriously at the same time.

"Stephen is going to regret his celebration."

The entire Cavaliers team knows Wang Yan too well.

Stephen Curry's actions will only inspire Wang Yan to want to win even more.

Golden State's restricted area is in trouble.

Under the gaze of all the fans, Wang Yan dribbled the ball across half court by himself, ready to respond to Curry.

And facing David Lee's open hand defense.

Wang Yan made a rose-like move without slowing down and went straight to the basket in one step.

"Stop him!"

Curry couldn't help but shout as he watched Wang Yan rush into the paint area.

When the two teams first met, Biedrins was injured and the Warriors' inside line was indeed very weak, but now Biedrins has returned and Curry knows that this guy is a good rim protector.

boom!
Although Biedrins jumped up to interfere under the basket, Wang Yan remained violent.

Bang!

Wang Yan directly contributed a two-handed dunk that was not too easy.

"remarkably brave."

After landing, Wang Yan smiled slightly for this new opponent: "You have successfully made me use 30% of my strength."

Biedrins: “…”

Biedrins, whose legs were a little weak after being held down, was completely confused.

no……

I've tried my best, and you tell me I only gave 30% of my effort?

Little do people know that the restricted area in the league is no longer the same as it was in the era of Biedrins.

The two teams tied and the game continued.

Although Wang Yan still had his way with the inside combination of David Lee and Biedrins.

But tonight, the double-gun combination of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson was hot from the outside.

At the end of the first quarter, Curry fell into deep thought as he looked at the score of 28 to 35.

Curry's performance in the first quarter can be described as explosive, hitting 4 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring a career-high 20 points. However, Wang Yan next door just flicked his sleeves and scored 25 points.

Just feel...

What you can achieve by exhausting all your energy is just other people's daily routine.

Curry was shaking with anger.

"We are going to end their winning streak today!"

However, Stephen Curry still tried hard in the second quarter, and he always set defeating Wang Yan as his goal.

It turns out that when you are trying hard to do something, you must not show it on your face, otherwise it is likely to backfire.

This is like some people who always brag about how thick and big they are, making the other person look forward to it, but when they take off their pants they find out it's actually a signed guy, which is really embarrassing.

Curry's performance in the second quarter was a bit hasty.

At 3 minutes and 28 seconds in the second quarter, the elementary school students staged an epic scene.

In the transition between offense and defense, Kyrie Irving dribbled the ball leisurely, made continuous operations at the free throw line, and changed speed to break through Thompson.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Thompson's defensive footsteps. Thompson did not lose his position, and at the moment of the breakthrough, Curry, who came from the wing, completed a steal from Irving's blind spot.

It is already very satisfying to steal the ball from Kyrie Irving. If Curry makes a counterattack three-pointer, it will directly boost the team's momentum.

But he looked at Wang Yan who was standing under the basket.

I can't help but think of the day we practiced together in Cleveland.

The innate bloodline awakens instantly!
He gave up his best three-pointer and instead rushed to the basket, trying to rush towards Wang Yan and challenge for a dunk.

People's true nature will only show up at the most critical moments.

Golden State Slam Dunk King is online!
Looking at the elementary school student's thin body rushing towards him, even preparing to step over the ball, it was obvious that he was preparing for a dunk.

Wang Yan was a little confused.

No, what the hell?

Am I a defensive weakness? !
"Wang Defa?"

"What is Stephen doing? Is he going to dunk over Wang Yan?"

"Is he crazy? Even LeBron wouldn't dare to do that!"

When the commentator at the scene saw Curry's action, he immediately put his hands on his head.

What words can I use to describe this round.

Then it must be:

Little slut driving a big car!!
The fans at the Quicken Loans Arena were also shocked.

"I have to pay tribute to Stephen!"

"Stephen can't be the first guy to dunk over Wang Yan!"

“I admire his courage!”

"..."

The fans at the scene stood up instantly and began to look forward to it.

But at this time, Wang Yan did not move at all. He just stood straight on the ground with his right arm raised high.

I'll block you while standing. If you jump, I lose.

It sounds slow, but in reality it only takes a moment.

All the fans in the stadium opened their eyes wide, waiting for the scene of Curry driving a big car, when something strange happened.

Stephen Curry suddenly used the technique of shrinking the earth and slipped between Wang Yan's two long legs.

Whoosh!
"What the hell?"

Wang Yan suddenly felt his legs go cold.

OHHHHHH
There was a sudden shouting in the Quick Loans Center.

It turned out that Stephen Curry passed the ball and was about to gather strength to jump, but his foot slipped and he made a sliding tackle.

What's even funnier is that Curry is thin and Wang Yan has his legs spread wide open.

He slid directly between Wang Yan's legs.

There was a burst of laughter in the Quick Loans Center!
Wang Yan was also disheveled in the wind.

No, what the hell, what kind of trick is this?
Cross-legged pass?

"I've seen people do it with their crotch, but I've never seen someone do it for real."

"Just watching basketball makes me laugh to death. Is this Stephen's slide dunk?"

"What the hell is a sliding dunk? This is called a crotch dunk!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be one of the top five embarrassing moments of epic proportions!"

"..."

Basketball fans immediately burst into discussion.

After passing through Wang Yan, Curry stood up immediately. Listening to the laughter in the air, he had to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

I can't stay on Earth anymore, I should book a ticket for the fastest spaceship to the moon.

. . . .

However, there is some good news.

Curry did not take a traveling step on this sliding dunk.

And the ball was not lost. Biedrins, who followed up, picked up the basketball in a panic, and the Warriors still had the ball.

"Anti-python, Stephen, go to the corner and shoot a three-pointer. Do what you do best."

Curry's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

The last round was indeed a bit of "sacrifice one's own interests for the sake of justice", as Ben is best at three-pointers.

Curry is absolutely confident in his three-pointers. As long as he can return a three-pointer, all the face he lost from the slide dunk just now will be recovered.

With this thought in mind, Curry quickly moved to the three-point position in the corner.

And because this was a transition between offense and defense, the Cavaliers players did not have time to return to defense.

Biedrins also set a screen for Curry, blocked Wang Yan, and passed the ball between his legs to Curry in the bottom corner.

With no one guarding him, Curry shot a three-pointer from the corner.

Then goose.

As the saying goes, when a person wants to prove himself too much, he often makes a fool of himself.

At the moment of shooting, Curry's hands shook again, he lost his rhythm, and the shot went completely astray.

Then the basketball drew an awkward arc and made an AIR BALL.

Slide dunk and dunk through the crotch.

Then he made another open three-pointer in the corner and missed it all.

This wave directly made him a god.

"I would like to call this round the strongest in history!"

Charles Barkley, the TNT commentator at the scene, burst out laughing: "Stephen Curry contributed a top five embarrassing moves on Mount Rushmore."

"I thought that sliding tackle and drilling was invincible, but I didn't expect there was a god above the peak!"

The Cleveland fans also completely turned into a sea of ​​laughter at this time.

Stephen Curry's comedic talent was clearly revealed at this time.

This future star is indeed talented.

Yes, I'm talking about comedic talent.

After Wang Yan received the rebound, he also gave Curry a thumbs up and said something.

"Good work deserves reward!"

The primary school students were blushing at this moment.

Don’t buy your ticket to the moon yet, because the moon is no longer habitable.

At least it has to be Neptune to barely save some face.
