822: A more dangerous enemy than Durant

Durant made Jason Taylor make a fool of himself as soon as he came up, but soon Jimmy Butler made Durant make a fool of himself again.

Jason Taylor loves Jimmy Butler so much now. He thought Butler had just played so tough just now to stand up for himself.

But in fact, Butler didn't think so much at all. Whether it was training or amateur competition, once the confrontation began, Butler had only one voice in his mind, "Take him!"

After Durant was intercepted by Butler and hit a counterattack, he also decided not to hold the ball for the time being and then started a big kill after he adapted to this high-intensity confrontation.

Otherwise, he would only miss it again and again. Durant could see that Butler was not having fun with him today.

So the Warriors' second attack was handed over to Stephen Curry.

In the eyes of others, Durant, the scoring champion, is the biggest threat. But after seeing Curry holding the ball, Link became nervous!

So much so that just after halftime that No. 30, Link immediately posted it!

"It's too exaggerated to defend in the first half of the game." Kobe, off the court, shook his head. Although Drew's league advocates playing games seriously, Link is a bit too serious.

Dealing with a Stephen Curry, is that?

Link doesn't think so. For him, Curry's threat is now greater than Durant!

After being blocked by Link, Curry calmly handed the ball to his good partner Klay Thompson, and then cut to the right corner empty-handed.

Link followed Curry and tried to block his catch route. But Curry was halfway through, but suddenly turned around and ran backward to the top of the arc!

No matter how fast Link reacted, he could not be able to synchronize with Curry. In this way, he was thrown away a small step. As soon as Curry ran to the top of the three-point line and took the position, Klay Thompson tacitly brought the ball back.

Link had already arrived in front of Curry at this time, leaving only a small amount of space for Curry. Ordinary people who were so cautious about Link would definitely give up taking action.

After all, the space for shooting is too small, and even if you are lucky enough to be unsuspected, it will be seriously disturbed. The shots you throw are not accurate at all.

But Curry was not frightened. For him, he needed less space than others!

Seizing that fleeting opportunity, Stephen Curry made a jump shot before Link completely blocked!

Curry's first impression of attacks gave Link a quick look, as if he was throwing the ball into the basket just to avoid the block.

But Link knew better than anyone else that Curry's extremely quick shot was completed with extremely complete movements. If you look at Curry's slow motion back defense, you will know how exquisite his shooting was.

Besides, a player's shooting posture and shooting percentage are not necessarily proportional. Even elementary school basketball coaches dislike the shooting postures of Marion and Kevin Martin. However, their shooting percentage is not low at all.

What's more, Curry's shooting posture is not as weird as Martin and the others, just faster.

Just when everyone thought Curry's hasty three-point shot would hit the box, the basketball jumped into the net hollow and hit it directly!

"What!? Stephen Curry's shot actually made!? Link's defense has been great, and he has no loss at all, and he has no room to shoot. It can be said that there is no problem. But there is no way, luck is on Curry's side."

The live commentator and most fans thought Curry's ball just now was just luck.

But Link knew better than anyone else that that was Curry’s routine operation! Even in the NBA arena, he could do such an operation!

That perverted and accurate Curry is really here. Next season, the Grizzlies will face a more difficult opponent in the West than the Thunder and the Spurs!

Later, although Butler scored a goal with a turnover jump shot on Curry, Link still did not relax at all.

Due to his physical weakness, Curry's defense is indeed not outstanding, but he can always get back the points he lost on the offensive end.

Sure enough, Curry took another move in the next round. This time, Curry took the ball and bypassed the double cover of Durant and Thompson, then floated outside the three-point line and threw the ball into the ball.

The biggest difference between great shooters such as Curry, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller is that he has extremely strong dribbling shooting ability!

Ray Allen and Miller are more likely to catch the ball and complete fixed-point shots after running without the ball. For them, stabilizing the center of gravity and then taking action is a key trick to ensure the shooting percentage.

But Curry broke this tradition. He could suddenly pull up his shot while holding the ball, and even outside the three-point line, his shooting percentage after dribbling is very high!

When scoring the first goal, people can say that Curry is lucky. But if he does the same thing for the second time in a row, he cannot just use luck to explain it.

On the side of the court, even Kobe's expression became serious. This summer, all kinds of monsters and monsters began to emerge.

There was Butler in front and Curry in the back. On the contrary, Durant and Link seemed to have become supporting roles.

Then, Link directly started the tight defense in the half-time, which curbed Curry's infinite range.

After all, this is the Drew League, and everyone's tactical awareness is not that strong. Therefore, Curry also lost the support of his tactics and system.

Curry, who had weak ability to fight, was entangled by Link and lacked support from his teammates, and he instantly became silent.

Durant started taking over the attack, but he found it was still very difficult to score a goal on Jimmy Butler.

At first, Durant thought that he had not adapted to such a confrontation intensity and was not playing smoothly. But later Durant found that even he himself didn't believe this excuse. He had already attacked when he played the NBA, but he still couldn't score easily!

In the first half, Durant's shooting rate was terrible. It was not until the second half that it rebounded slightly. But overall, the scoring champion Durant was still very embarrassed in front of Butler today.

Butler was very active on both offense and defense, which made Durant panting and sweating. Durant also found that the more tired you are, the more likely you are to be led by Butler. Because Butler is like a perpetual motion machine, he will not stop until the end of the game!

The more tired you are, the more energetic he is.

In the end, with 38 seconds left in the game, Durant scored 18 points, while Butler scored 23 points! And his shooting percentage was 15 percentage points higher than Durant!

"Jimmy's performance today is better than Kevin. People say that the Grizzlies will have no star to share the pressure next season except Link. But now, I believe that Grizzlies fans don't have to worry about a problem at all. They can play against Kevin Durant and play back and forth. What is this a star?"

In the last 38 seconds, Stephen Curry suddenly made a jump shot from two steps outside the three-point line.

Although Link sealed it in time, he was still scared and sweated.

Today, Link fully experienced the oppression that Curry brought to people. His threat on the basketball court was completely inversely proportional to his thin body! As long as he took action, you would be nervous.

Fortunately, Curry failed to hit the last long three-pointer, which allowed Link's team to seize the victory.

But even if you win, Link will still be scared!

How terrifying would he be if Curry was thrown into Steve Cole's system!

This year's defense journey may really be unprecedentedly difficult. An enemy who is more dangerous than Durant is already on the road to defending the Grizzlies!

The score was finally frozen at 105 to 99, and Link won the first team with a 6-point advantage. Of course, Link also knew that if Curry made a three-pointer in the last 38 seconds, the result would be different.

Butler scored the highest score in the whole game. He finally got the fun today and his strength was tested.

As it turns out, Butler is now fully capable of playing a "big-type" role.

Durant gritted his teeth and knew that it would be more difficult to deal with the Grizzlies next season. If Butler maintains this state in the new season, the Grizzlies will have their strength soaring even without major signings!

However, Durant did not care about his two teammates Curry and Thompson. He didn't know that the two guys around him might be more dangerous than the Grizzlies...

After the game, Link wasn't as happy as he won at Rock Park last year.

After hugging the people around him, he walked back to the locker room with a heavy expression, picked up his cell phone and called the chief trainer of the training camp Chris Brickley.

"Next, I want to strengthen my ability to shoot after dribbling in the three-point line, and you can make a training plan for me as soon as possible."

"But... you have arranged a lot of training programs, Link." Brickley looked at Link's schedule full of schedule, feeling a little ashamed. The training schedule is so dense, so you have to add it!?

"Then increase the training time! Usually, I start training at 9 am, so I will start at 7 am and 6 am in advance!"

Link answered very firmly, knowing that the leisurely summer day will officially end from today.

If he does not want his era to be over, he must prevent the arrival of another era!

Next season will be a fatal showdown between two cross-age teams and two cross-age players.
