Chapter 165: Conferring the Gods in World War I

In the live broadcast room, messages swiped down the screen like a waterfall:

"Fuck, come out and see God!!!"

"Is this Curry? He really wants to kill him? Is this the first buzzer-beater this year? Curry is awesome!"

"Damn!!! Did you notice? Curry made 13 three-pointers. He broke the NBA record for three-pointers in a single game!! He only played 15 games!"

"13 three-pointers + buzzer-beater, I declare that Curry will become a god in one battle!!"

Everyone is praising Curry, and he deserves such praise-in this game, Curry made 31 of 22 shots, including 18 of 13 three-pointers, no free throws, scored 57 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds, breaking the NBA record in one fell swoop. A single-game three-point record, a rookie single-game scoring record, and contributed a buzzer lore!

He played an epic game, which is also the craziest rookie performance in the history of the NBA. Even Jordan, Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, O'Neal and other great names can only behind him.

As crazy as the fans are, the broadcaster regrets it. Such a game was not broadcast live across the United States. ESPN's intestines are green with regret!

Back on the court, Curry punched hard after the ball was scored, turned to look at Ayesha with a roar, but was surrounded by his teammates, pushing him around, shouting his name, wantonly celebrate.

He managed to break free from the crowd, came to the sidelines, and shouted at Ayesha:

"Ayesha, I won!"

Ayesha showed a cheerful smile, jumped on the ground, waved her hands at Curry, and replied loudly:

"Stephen, you are the best!"

She was so excited, in stark contrast to the ashen-faced Lakers fans around her, causing others to stare at her, but when they saw a young girl cheering for the Warriors, they all restrained their anger.

No matter how unwilling and angry they were, they would never vent their anger on a young girl.

On the sidelines, after Zhang Yu scored the goal, he hugged Silas tightly and shouted excitedly:

"Stephen. Did you see that? We won!"

Silas laughed and said:

"Ronan, you're right, we won!"

No one knows better than him how much Zhang Yu put in for this game.

If it weren't for Kobe's god-like performance at the last moment, Zhang Yu's two tactics would definitely work, and the Warriors don't need to drag the game to the last moment.

But the Lakers have Kobe, and the Warriors have Curry. Although Curry is just a rookie, he is a well-deserved superstar in this game!

Just look at the silent Staples Center, and those Lakers fans with disbelief on their faces and their heads in their hands, and you can see how much Curry has caused them.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson's face was ashen. He rarely picked up the tactical board and slapped the chair hard, losing his demeanor.

The Lakers players all looked downcastly at the Warriors players who were celebrating wildly. Kobe gave Bynum a cold look, but didn't say anything.

He knew that even if he had to defend himself, he couldn't guarantee that he could defend Curry.

Curry's state is beyond the limit. He may not play such a perfect game again in a season, but tonight, he is unstoppable.

And Zhang Yu also came to the field, hugging with the players one after another, celebrating this hard-won victory.

He finally walked up to Curry, who was flirting with Ayesha, and said with a smile:

"Nice job, Stephen!"

Curry finally looked away from Ayesha, hugged Zhang Yu, and shouted excitedly:

"Boss, I did it, I beat the Lakers, I beat Kobe!!"

He grew up watching Kobe play, and has always regarded Kobe as an idol. To be able to confront Kobe head-on in the NBA and defeat Kobe with a shot lore is a great encouragement for Curry. .

Zhang Yu patted him on the back, glanced out of the corner of his eye, saw Kobe walking this way, and whispered in Curry's ear:

"Go, your idol is here."

Curry turned around quickly, and Kobe had already walked to the two of them.

Curry smiled, and then thought that Kobe had just lost. With his character, he shouldn't be in a good mood, so he quickly restrained his smile:

"Kobe, I've always been your fan..."

Kobe looked Curry up and down, and said with a smile:

"Stephen, you have grown up."

"Huh?" Curry was confused.

"Did you forget? I gave you a signed jersey. It was eight years ago. I went to Toronto and you were next to the Raptors bench. We won that game." …After I returned to the locker room, Dell brought you to me, and I gave you the jersey." Kobe showed a look of reminiscence.

Curry nodded excitedly:

"Of course I haven't forgotten! I still treasure that jersey, I just didn't expect you to remember me..."

Kobe smiled:

"After every game, there are children who enter the visiting team's locker room. You are the only one."

Curry scratched his head embarrassedly:

"I rarely do that. Who told you to play in Toronto only once a season... I made a bet with my classmates that I would definitely get your jersey. I begged my dad for a long time before he agreed. I have to practice 30 three-pointers every day..."" Kobe said with emotion:

"I didn't expect that thin baby face back then to become the No. [-] pick and become a super shooter... You did a great job, this victory should belong to you."

Later, he exchanged jerseys with Curry, and encouraged Curry:

"Come on, you will definitely become a superstar in the future!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Yu felt very emotional.

This means that Kobe has experienced the sinking of the single-core period, washed away his lead, and won the FMVP. He has matured a lot and lost a lot of paranoia before he was able to laugh with Curry after being killed.

If it were the former Kobe, he would have greeted Bynum with a death glare, and then went straight to the locker room. The Lakers players will have a frightening day tomorrow.

But for Kobe now, this is just a regular season. Although they lost, the Lakers didn't make any big mistakes. The Warriors' victory partly relied on Zhang Yu's tactical arrangements, but the key factor was Curry's outbreak.

Kobe has been able to appreciate the strength of his opponent. Although he is still obsessed with pursuing the victory of every game, he will not be worried about a loss.

Kobe in this state is the real bloodthirsty Black Mamba.

In the past, the black mamba would only flaunt his fangs wantonly, meandering forward, chasing every prey that passed in front of him, but now he has learned to hibernate, no longer chasing the scoring champion and MVP, but focusing on over the top.

He hid part of his fangs, but he truly became the undisputed No.1 in the league.

After Kobe and Curry exchanged jerseys, they looked at Zhang Yu with a hesitant expression. Zhang Yu spoke first:

"Kobe, just call me Ronan, you're doing great, I think the Lakers are still the biggest favorites... I have to say, I never doubted that you could get 40 points, it was just a game strategy ."

Zhang Yu saw it, Kobe was a little hesitant about what to call him, he was younger than Kobe, and Kobe was not one of those commentators

, Calling him Coach Z seems a bit strange.

Kobe shook his head and smiled:

"Of course, man, you don't think I'm really going to be irritated by your trash talk, do you? There are very few things in this league that can make me angry. If it weren't for Stephen's outstanding performance, I wouldn't have scored so many points."

In this game, Curry shot all the way

Zhang Yu said:

"If it wasn't for your threes and defense, or even Steph's game-winning shot, we would have won."

Kobe nodded and said:

"You are right, Ronan, you are an excellent coach, congratulations to the Warriors for winning this victory."

Zhang Yu smiled and said:

"Thanks, we just narrowly won...Kobe, can I give you a suggestion?"

"You said." Kobe was a little puzzled.

Zhang Yu looked straight, and said very seriously:

"Promise me, don't take the helicopter!"

"Ah?" Kobe looked at Zhang Yu with the same expression as Curry just now.

After he reacted, he asked in surprise:

"Helicopter?"

He was very puzzled. Not long after we met, why did Zhang Yu speak so confusingly?

Zhang Yu also came to his senses, he had made a slip of the tongue, he shouldn't have said such inexplicable words.

But after seeing Kobe, he couldn't help but recall the news that shocked the world in the winter of 2019.

That morning, countless Komi cried bitterly. Even people who don't watch basketball know Kobe's name, and his departure also represents the memories of a generation's youth. They are no longer so beautiful, but cast a shadow A thick layer of dust.

As a loyal fan of modern basketball, Zhang Yu is not a fan of Kobe, but he doesn't want to see Kobe repeat the same mistakes at all, which is why he seems so shallow.

He quickly changed his words:

"Nothing... This is a wonderful game. I hope the Lakers can defend their title successfully."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Curry and turned around to leave.

Kobe looked at Zhang Yu who was walking away in a hurry, shaking his head and laughing.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Yu meant, he felt Zhang Yu's sincere attitude, which somewhat diluted Kobe's depression caused by the loss.

He looked at Curry's back and smiled.

The NBA is getting more and more interesting. There is an unprecedented super shooter like Curry...

...

In the post-match interview, Kobe praised Curry's performance and said very firmly that Curry has a bright future and will definitely become a superstar.

Phil Jackson also praised Zhang Yu's on-the-spot response, saying that Zhang Yu is a very good head coach and the Warriors will definitely enter the playoffs this season.

He is an old fritter, of course he has to praise his opponent after losing, especially Curry played such a crazy performance.

Since it failed to prevent Curry from breaking the record, then simply praise Curry and Zhang Yu to the sky, and losing to a strong opponent sounds much better than losing to a weak team.

And the Lakers also played very well this time. Kobe played against Curry and scored 47 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds. When Curry is in a daily state, he has a great chance to lead the Lakers to win the game.

In addition to him, Gasol made 14 of 9 shots and scored a double-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists efficiently. Bynum only relied on the second offense and eating cakes, and also got a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. , The Lakers Twin Towers dominated the Warriors inside.

This is already the result of Kobe taking most of the ball away. If Phil Jackson's arrangement is completely followed, the two will play even better, and they will definitely be able to blow up the Warriors inside.

But Zhang Yu's remarks before the game still had an effect, sparking a confrontation between Kobe and Curry. Although he scored 47 points, he used up 29 shots and hit 16 goals. It seems that the efficiency is not low. But most of them were two-pointers, and there were 12 free throws that were not counted in the shots, which consumed a lot of the Lakers' possession.

This makes the heroes of Gasol and Bynum useless. They can obviously be the overlord of the inside, but most of the time they can only stick to the inside and wait for offensive rebounds, which is equivalent to self-defeating martial arts.

Curry's outburst was the primary factor for the Warriors to win this game, but Zhang Yu accurately grasped Kobe's mentality, was fully prepared tactically, responded quickly and timely on the spot, and laid a solid foundation for defeating the Lakers.

After the interview with the Lakers, it was naturally the Warriors' turn. Zhang Yu, Curry and Butler participated in the interview.

Butler nervously followed the two to the venue. This was his first post-game interview after entering the NBA.

In the previous 3 games, he was only a 17D player, providing three-pointers and defense for the team, no different from others. The highest score in a single game was only [-] points, and he was still playing against the underdogs. from.

Although he completed his tasks conscientiously, there was nothing special about him. He averaged only 10.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and he did not enter the eyes of fans and media.

But in this game, Butler suddenly emerged in the third quarter. Facing Artest's defense, he scored several times in a row. He scored 13 points in a single quarter and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. The second hero showed the potential of a ball-handler, which is impressive.

But the protagonist tonight can only be Curry. Although Butler performed very well, the reporters still pointed the microphone at Curry and asked him how he scored 57 points and broke two records in one fell swoop.

Curry said:

"Thanks to my teammates, without their help, I could not have scored so many points, especially Jimmy, to win the Lakers, his performance is crucial... I also want to thank the boss, his encouragement will always be my way forward One of my biggest motivations... Finally, I would like to thank my girlfriend Ayesha. This victory is my gift to her!"

The first half of his answer was very official, but the last sentence caught the eyes of many reporters, and he immediately thought of many headlines, such as "The No. Because my girlfriend was there in person," or something like that.

Of course, the reporter still focused more on the game itself, and Curry also answered without leaking.

Then, the reporter turned his attention to Butler:

"Jimmy, you scored 20 points in this game and helped the team win. Can you tell me why you didn't show your ability to hold the ball before?"

Butler said a little excitedly:

"Since the summer, I have been polishing my ball-handling skills. The boss has suggested that I use them in the game, but I feel that my skills are not mature enough... I am very grateful to the boss for allowing me to play in this crucial game. The game takes on such a heavy responsibility! From the time he recruited me to college, he always gave me the utmost trust. I never thought that I could enter the NBA and score 20 points in the game against the Lakers. I Today, it is all thanks to the help of the boss!"

The reporters were a little surprised. They didn't expect Curry and Butler to attribute all the reasons for their outstanding performance to Zhang Yu.

"So, Coach Z is the biggest contributor to winning this game?"

"Of course!" Curry and Butler nodded together.

Zhang Yu took the microphone with a smile:

"You are exaggerating. I sat on the sidelines and watched you play, and the credit still belongs to me? If you want to use this method and ask me to give you a big contract, then it is a wrong idea-I just want to Based on your performance in the contract year, I will open a contract that meets the market price! Of course, if you guys are really bad at playing, I will also give you a basic salary. Who told you that you two have already helped me win two championships Woolen cloth."

There was a chuckle from the reporters, and Curry and Butler laughed too.

"Coach Z, you said before the game that Kobe could not score 40+ in this game, but he scored 47 points. Do you have anything to say about this?" the reporter asked.

Zhang Yu smiled and said:

"Congratulations to Kobe, his performance is very good, especially the last three points, and the interference of Biedrins, almost left the victory in Staples."

"Didn't you say that he can't get 40+, and he doesn't have the strength of James?" The reporter asked persistently.

"Oh, that's just a small question of mine. Here I want to apologize to Kobe. I shouldn't question his scoring ability. He is still the superstar and No. 1 in the league. No one is qualified to question his ability." Scoring ability!" Zhang Yu said without hesitation.

"..." The reporter couldn't handle it anymore.

Before the game, who disdained to say that Kobe is no longer good, even James is not as good as him, but now he just said that Kobe is the No.

"Then why did you say that before the game? You are talking nonsense!" A reporter from a local Los Angeles media said indignantly.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly:

"I apologize for my wrong judgment, thank you for your reminders, I have realized Kobe's strength, and I will not talk nonsense in the future."

After he finished speaking, the interview with the Warriors ended, and the three got up and left, leaving the reporters thinking in place.

Why did Coach Z admit his mistake so quickly this time?In the past, he was unyielding...

Finally, they figured it out. The Warriors won the game. No matter what Zhang Yu said, he was showing the demeanor of a winner.

Good guy, let you finish high!
