Everyone still vividly remembers the "Curry Myth" from last year's NCAA.
If Curry gets accurate, if he goes crazy, if he explodes, he is definitely all-star level.
Instructor Zhang's words are absolutely correct.
During his time with the Warriors.
Rookie Curry was constantly overshadowed by Monta Ellis, but even so, during the final game of the season against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Curry, who seemed to have been suppressed all season.
Finally experienced a major outburst.
He went 17-for-31 overall, achieving an astonishing 54.8% field goal percentage, and 4-for-6 from the Three-point Shot line, a 66.7% percentage.
He was also perfect from the free throw line, sinking all 12 attempts.
He racked up 42 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 1 Blocking, putting on a super performance that was "40+ near triple-double."
It was precisely because of this single game's explosion.
That the Warriors decided to make Curry their franchise player.
Therefore... in the more favorable environment of the New York Knicks, Curry's breakout is completely reasonable, like a timely rain.
Corresponding to the breakout performance of J.R. Smith.
Preventing the point difference from widening further.
Anthony, when he keeps his cool, teamed up with Billups and a group of bench bandits—the Denver Nuggets are indeed strong.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved the second-best record in the fiercely competitive Western Conference.
Su Yan was as efficient as ever, and David Lee was solid in the paint; both teams were battling fiercely.
They traded blows.
The game was very intense.
Soon.
Only two minutes remained on the clock.
J.R. Smith's burst didn't last, and couldn't be sustained forever; the same went for Curry.
Ultimately.
The game reverted to Anthony + Billups vs. Su Yan + Normal Curry.
Time was running out.
But the point difference was still seven points.
The pressure remained on the New York Knicks; if they couldn't quickly suppress the opponent and narrow the gap.
The pressure would only increase.
New York Knicks possession.
Curry brought the ball past half-court, while Anthony and J.R. Smith kept their eyes glued to Su Yan, not relaxing for a second.
Prioritizing the Three-point Shot.
They absolutely could not give Su Yan an opportunity.
Su Yan wasn't anxious; even if he could force a shot, he wouldn't force every single one, prioritizing finding the right opportunity.
He used David Lee and Wilson's screens consecutively, looping up from the right corner, seemingly preparing to catch and shoot a Three-point Shot.
Suddenly.
He executed another back-cut and drove down, fooling J.R. Smith and Anthony.
"Shit!"
J.R., who lost him, cursed loudly, "So you were still going to the basket? Why bother looping all the way up here!"
Where he goes isn't important.
What's important is where the best scoring opportunity is!
Su Yan, who had cut back and driven down, pointed a finger to the sky, signaling for an alley-oop, and Curry, at the top of the left arc, instantly understood.
He sent a high lob pass over.
Nenê jumped in the paint, trying to disrupt the play, but... the ball sailed right over his fingertips.
The next second.
Su Yan, soaring up behind him, head level with the rim, caught the ball one-handed and slammed it down!!!
Tomahawk Alley-oop!
Slammmmmmm dunk!
A brilliant cooperation between Curry and Su Yan!
A five-point difference.
"COOL!"
The arena erupted in cheers.
The female fans couldn't sit still, jumping up one by one to cheer and shout, their figures swaying up and down, making the eyes of the nearby boys go wide.
Suddenly.
The basketball on the court no longer seemed appealing.
One male fan with strong willpower glanced a few times, and just before he got carried away, he slapped himself hard, "I'm a disgrace! I'm watching a basketball game, how can I get distracted!"
Hmm, that's a ruthless person!!!
Denver Nuggets possession.
Anthony brought the ball up himself, used a screen to bypass Su Yan, and found Wilson Chandler.
Billups pulled away to one side, creating space for Anthony.
The Sweet Melon who keeps his cool is very sweet.
The classic triple threat—simple yet efficient—relied heavily on his own strong ability to drive and shoot.
Wilson's center of gravity was shifted.
Anthony took a step forward and drove, accelerating quickly and leaving Wilson behind.
"Crap!"
Wilson cried out in alarm and rushed to follow; David Lee and Tyson were defending the basket.
Anthony charged inside.
He bumped against David Lee sideways, executed a spin move while dribbling, blowing past David Lee; the entire spin was too fast.
Tyson was also stunned in place.
Under the basket on the left, Anthony gathered the ball, jumped, and executed a floating layup, looking certain to score.
He beat three defenders.
Anthony's drive this time was incredibly cool.
Little did he know... Su Yan had been watching from the wing, ready to help defend; Anthony beating three players was indeed impressive.
But it also gave Su Yan enough time.
As Anthony finally jumped up for the layup, Su Yan was already poised behind him, leaping into the air.
"Bang!"
From behind him, a palm slapped the ball away—not flying into the stands, but a massive, downward Blocking.
This was even more brutal.
"How is there still someone?!"
Anthony looked bewildered. "What are my teammates doing!!!"
Curry rushed in to grab the bouncing ball and immediately pushed a fast break without delay.
1 minute and 32 seconds remained.
The difference was 5 points.
At the top of the left arc, Curry pulled up quickly for a trailing Three-point Shot.
"Dream on!"
Billups sprinted over at full speed, having anticipated Curry's Three-point Shot, quickly lowering his center of gravity and rushing to contest.
If Curry shot this ball, he would get blocked.
He couldn't shoot it.
Curry stopped the ball but immediately passed it to Su Yan, who was trailing on the right side.
Su Yan landed right on the Three-point Shot line, and he prepared to shoot upon receiving the ball.
In moments of catch-up, the Three-point Shot is always the quickest way.
Anthony was furious that he beat three men only to be blocked, but he didn't have time to dwell on it and frantically chased back.
Seeing Su Yan ready to take a Three-point Shot.
From behind, he instinctively jumped to block; it wasn't a powerful jump, but he intended to provide some interference.
Su Yan had already made seven Three-point Shots tonight; they couldn't allow him to shoot comfortably.
A Three-point Shot from the Three-point Shot line must be contested.
"I was waiting for you to come over."
Su Yan smiled slightly.
A Three-point Shot is fast for catching up, but getting a 3+1 and scoring four points is undoubtedly faster.
That was an opportunity shot.
An opportunity shot for Su Yan, which he could have taken directly.
But he guessed, and bet, that Anthony behind him would leap to contest. When Anthony flew past from the side.
Su Yan leaned into him deliberately.
And jumped to shoot.
"Beep! Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle.
Anthony's Three-point Shot foul was confirmed. Now... it was up to Su Yan to see if he could make the shot while off balance.
Su Yan, unbalanced in mid-air, released the ball.
His shooting form was completely broken; it all came down to touch and Three-point Shot talent.
"If that ball goes in, I'll immediately eat..."
On the Denver Nuggets bench.
Aaron Afflalo, defying fate, decided to add another item to his menu.
The next moment.
The bow bends, bidding farewell to the Han moon; the feathered arrow pierces the celestial pride!
"Swish!"
Su Yan made the Three-point Shot; it was a 3+1 play.
"Good heavens!"
Inside the CCTV Channel 5 broadcast studio.
Wang Meng held his head, his expression shocked, "Even with his body completely off balance in mid-air."
"Su Yan can still sink the Three-point Shot! What incredible touch, what powerful Three-point Shot ability."
"Wow~"
Instructor Zhang was also excitedly waving his arms, "For that Three-point Shot to go in, only Su Yan could pull it off."
"For anyone else, it would be impossible, completely unreasonable!!!"
