Seventy-Two. Curry Is the Key

Randolph, who came here, saw that Sun Ce's face was full of disappointment after the tactical meeting, and came up to comfort him: "Noah, don't lose heart, you played so well in the last game, the team has seen your strength, definitely It will make the other point guards on the team play more, except for Steph, to compare with you."

Sun Ce understands this truth, and being able to understand it and being able to accept it easily are two different things.

But what else can be done, the arm can't twist the thigh, Smart is the head coach of the summer league, and he has the final say on everything.

Sun Ce said unwillingly: "I really want to help the team win!"

These are words from the heart, whether it is for events or for the pursuit of his heart, he wants to help the Warriors win! At this stage, this summer league, he considers himself a part of the team.

"Haha, Noah, don't worry, we will definitely win against the Timberwolves!" Randolph said with a smile, "We beat them three times last season!"

Sun Ce thought about what he said in the tactical meeting just now. Last season, the Warriors won the Timberwolves three times in the regular season and swept the Timberwolves in the regular season.

To be swept by the Warriors last season...the Timberwolves are also considered weird.

The road ahead is not easy, and Sun Ce can only accept it calmly.

Life is always so difficult...

...

Really easy to win!

Watson can easily score on this Timberwolves head!

With 31 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 11 of 19 shots, Watson strongly helped the Warriors beat the Timberwolves 96-82.

The Timberwolves are full of talent outside, so much talent that their summer league head coach didn't know how to allocate playing time, and once sent a company commander to play center...

Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound and got the luxurious data of 25 points and 17 rebounds.

Love was helpless, how could he lose to Randolph in grabbing rebounds, but he was forced to play center, and got stuck with Hunter, Tolliver and other centers, and was robbed by Randolph.

Watson can break through if he wants to break through, and throw three-pointers if he wants to throw three-pointers.

Sun Ce only played 11 minutes and scored 4 points and 2 assists. After all, Watson played so well.

It's just that Curry's performance today is also very average. Although he didn't take many shots in the last game, Curry had a lot of possessions. Sun Ce's first pass target was Curry.

Watson just cared about his own scoring and basically didn't communicate with Curry on the court.

But they could make the shot, and Curry couldn't help it. He scored 11 points on 4 of 8 shots and barely scored in double figures.

It's just... It's not that high scoring data will definitely satisfy the summer league coach Smart. He doesn't just look at whether the player is playing well.

Watson has the ball, and opponents such as Chaney Flynn, Sessions, and Ellington have poor perimeter defense. With Watson's two years of experience in the NBA, in this one-on-one duel It's too normal to blow up the opponent.

Smart considers more things, such as the degree of cooperation with Curry, a newly selected first-round pick, which is very important!

Curry is the future at guard for the Warriors...

...

After all, it is 2 wins and 0 losses! Sun Ce did not make much contribution in the second game, but it is good to win two games in a row.

The Knicks and the Bucks both scored 1 win and 1 loss. The Bucks lost to the Warriors and won the Knicks; the Knicks lost to the Bucks and won the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves were 0 wins and 2 losses.

The Warriors are currently ranked first, but they are not as good as the Knicks in terms of point difference. When the Knicks won the Timberwolves by 31 points, the advantage is too great.

The Knicks must be defeated in the third game to ensure that they can enter the quarterfinals.

Luck is very important. In some groups with 5 teams, the second place may be guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals, but in a group of 4 teams, only the first place can safely enter the quarterfinals.

But... At the tactical meeting on the afternoon of the 13th, Smart announced that Sun Ce returned to the starting position and partnered with Curry!

Yesterday, Sun Ce's bewildered expression was transferred to Watson.

Yesterday, he scored a game-high 31 points on 11 of 19 shots. Watson felt that he had left Sun Ce behind. He didn't know why he was sent back to the bench again!

Sun Ce was also a little surprised, why did he suddenly return to the starting lineup?

But dare not ask more.

Before playing in the summer league, Bill Duffy told Sun Ce that a second-round pick like him, or even some players with a minimum salary under contract, cannot be compared with the coach in the team's status, even as an assistant.

Now it is Smart who controls the summer league. Apart from Curry, the first-round pick of this group of players, Randolph may also be one of them. Whether the others leave or stay is all a matter of Smart.

Anyway, they are either basic salary players, second-round picks under investigation, undrafted picks, or free agents who come to the summer league to try to find a job.

Sun Ce was beaten back to the bench for no reason yesterday, and Sun Ce refrained from questioning him. Now he is taking advantage, and of course he is even more unlikely to ask questions.

However, if you get a cheap one, you have to behave yourself!

Sun Ce looked at Watson with smug eyes, and gave Curry a hand. Curry gave Sun Ce a speechless look. Now that Sun Ce is poking his butt, Curry can guess whether this guy is going to have diarrhea or fart.

But Curry was also very upset that Watson didn't pass the ball to him yesterday, so he adjusted his expression and looked at Watson with disdain.

Watson is going to blow up!

When Smart announced the meeting was over for pregame warmups, Watson was the first to run out of the conference room.

Others also left one after another.

Sun Ce, Curry, Randolph, Morrow, and Hunter formed a small group that advanced and retreated together, and when they left, they also left together.

"Stephen, did you see the expression of that barking dog? It's so cool!" Sun Ce said excitedly to Curry.

This adjective is used to describe Watson, and Curry is very happy, but the key is that Sun Ce used a barking dog to describe him before, and Curry was speechless.

But Watson was unhappy, and Curry was also happy, and replied: "It's really unlucky to partner with him. Although it's also unlucky to meet you, it's still pretty good to partner with you."

"Brother, you are really not good, you want to partner with brother and tell me straight..."

"Oh God, take this guy away..."

"Be quiet, don't be heard by him..." Randolph looked at it, but fortunately, Watson walked fast and had long since disappeared.

"It doesn't matter, it's a big deal, I want to fight him for a long time... Stephen, we should be able to beat him together!"

"..."

Just when the small group of five was very happy to say bad things about people, Smart, who was walking behind the players, took out his notebook and wrote: Curry doesn't like Watson...
