Chapter 557: Hope it lasts forever_2

Curry faced glue-like defense, which although exceptional in his off-ball movement, caused his shooting touch to plummet.

To deal with him, the Supersonics had Patrick Beverley start in place of Grant Hill.

The result was remarkably effective.

Beverley intensely eroded Curry's shooting touch on off-ball plays, making it imperative for Curry to handle the ball and attack the basket, combining inside and outside play to stabilize the offense.

However, with Wade's offense breaking through, Curry was forced to focus on off-ball play.

If Wade could play like Fei, dominating as a one-man core with four supporting him, this approach would have worked.

But he wasn't the main core.

Thus, after the battle, Wade scored a luxurious tally of 38 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, but the Supersonics won 112 to 101.

Opposite Wade, Fei secured 30 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, Durant scored 24 points, and the Supersonics had four other players in double digits.
