Su Yan's Three-point Shot has been hot recently.
Curry's Three-point Shot has been cold recently.
With their current shooting touch, fans are happy to accept the current situation, as it's within expectations.
"Hmm?"
Reggie Miller blinked and smiled, "Drexler, I've noticed something very interesting."
"Oh?"
Drexler tilted his head, trying to guess, "Su Yan, an Undrafted Player, his Three-point Shot ability is more accurate than Stephen, who is known for his Three-point Shot?"
"No, no, no."
Reggie Miller shook his head; he didn't want to discuss the Three-point Shot, as it seemed to have little meaning.
He paused.
He then smiled and continued, "I wonder if you've noticed that Su Yan and Stephen's Three-point Shot styles are very similar.
Both use a one-motion shot.
Some viewers might ask, what is a one-motion shot? It means bending the knees, raising the ball, pushing off the ground, and flicking the wrist.
These three actions happen almost simultaneously.
The advantage of this shot is that it makes the release speed very fast, making it difficult for opponents to block.
In comparison.
Players like Jordan, Kobe, and Tracy do not use a 'one-motion shot'.
Instead, it's a 'two-motion shot'.
The entire shooting motion is the same, except... Jordan, Kobe, and others will jump high first, and then release the shot.
This shooting style will definitely have a slower release speed.
However... their ability to resist interference is very strong, allowing them to still complete the shot and make it even in intense confrontations.
Getting back to the point.
Su Yan and Stephen both use a one-motion shot, and among one-motion shooters, their release speed is considered very fast.
Their shots are remarkably similar.
Last year, Stephen broke people's inherent perception of Three-point Shot in "NCAA March Madness".
Now.
His Three-point Shot looks terrible, like a completely different person from before.
Su Yan was originally unknown, and entered the league because of his looks, as a "vase".
The result... 8 Three-point Shots in one game, 7 Three-point Shots in another, and he continues to maintain a hot Three-point Shot touch tonight.
This is mysterious.
This seems incredible.
The two have very similar shooting styles; Stephen was accurate first, then inaccurate, while Su Yan was inaccurate first, then accurate.
This looks like... Su Yan plundered Stephen's Three-point Shot!"
"Hmm?"
Drexler was startled at first, then reacted, nodded emphatically, and smiled, "It does sound incredible.
But if you really think that way... it seems quite reasonable."
Ah, this!
God, I plundered Curry's Three-point Shot.
Please.
I have a Three-point Shot superior to peak Curry; the current Curry only has rookie Three-point Shot level.
I'm much better than him.
Su Yan shook his head, disdainful of the commentators' nonsense.
Curry, however, nodded vigorously; he noticed the shooting technique was highly similar to his own from Su Yan's very first Three-point Shot.
And it was accurate.
But his own wasn't.
It's the truth.
Su Yan plundered my Three-point Shot.
Curry firmly believed this, and he even seriously sought out Su Yan after coming on in the second quarter.
With an accusing tone, he asked, "Tell me, what did you do to me?!"
???
What kind of tone is this?
A naked woman questioning a man in the morning?!
Don't make it sound like something unspeakable happened between us, hey~
Su Yan rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, complaining, "Even if I plundered your Three-point Shot.
That would only be for 2-3 games.
You've been terrible all season; don't you have any self-awareness?!"
Oh?
That's right.
Curry realized.
Su Yan shook his head, "You're a big person now; don't be like an Elementary School Student, believing everything you hear."
Elementary School Student?
Who's the Elementary School Student?
I'm already an adult.
Curry, with his baby face, hated being called an Elementary School Student.
He immediately tilted his head, pointed his finger at Su Yan, and scolded, "I'm 21, older than you, so be careful how you speak!!!"
Hiss~
You just called me an Elementary School Student, and you're threatening me?
If I say one more word, you're probably going to hit me.
It's confirmed, Golden State Bully!!!
...Curry's poor performance was expected; fans who had some expectations initially gave up after seeing Curry miss Three-point Shot after Three-point Shot.
At least... they held no hope for him tonight.
"This shouldn't be happening!"
On the Warriors' bench, Coach Don Nelson frowned, as if contemplating a difficult math problem.
He didn't understand.
Completely didn't understand.
Why has Curry's performance been so bad this season, especially his Three-point Shot... it's too abnormal.
Could it be that he's truly too thin and can't adapt to NBA-level physical intensity?!
Or... was his Three-point Shot plundered by Su Yan?
He valued Curry highly; that's why he forcefully intercepted the New York Knicks.
But Curry's current performance made him conflicted, and even... a little disappointed.
On the New York Knicks' bench.
Coach D'Antoni was beaming, "Yes, yes, defend him like that, target Stephen like that.
Just let him play poorly.
Only then... can I poach him!"
Others might not understand, but he clearly knew why Curry wasn't playing well, and he believed that under his coaching system.
Curry would definitely shine.
[Su Yan + Curry]?
Exactly.
This was D'Antoni's secret rebuilding plan, to bring the Suns' "Run-and-Gun Cyclone" to New York.
In fact.
Ever since he saw Curry's madness last year, this idea had taken root in his mind.
It's just a pity.
The Warriors intervened, intercepted Curry, and ruined his plan.
Can't do it without Curry?!
It's not that it can't be done, but... it's just missing something.
The Suns' "Run-and-Gun Cyclone" and "Seven Seconds or Less" might not have been his original creation.
But he was definitely one of its greatest proponents.
He had many advanced understandings of the "small ball era" and had long believed that the era would enter the "small ball era".
Curry's playing style, for example, was in line with the times.
So, if he could get Curry, the New York Knicks could rebuild; if not, there was no way.
Losing Curry.
Also made him lose the motivation to rebuild the New York Knicks.
The season started with a 10-game losing streak, heading towards tanking.
But then, a new hope emerged.
He serendipitously met Su Yan.
His advanced understanding of the "small ball era" made Coach D'Antoni feel... that Su Yan was even a more evolved version than Curry.
He is more suited to the small ball era, and more compatible with the "Run-and-Gun System".
On this basis, if he could also poach Curry and let the potential stars who align with the times, Su Yan and Curry, join forces.
That would undoubtedly be like a royal flush.
However... since the Warriors intercepted him, they must also value Curry, so poaching him would be an obvious challenge.
Fortunately.
Curry really isn't performing well.
Monta Ellis also truly isn't giving Curry a chance to show his abilities, nipping any potential threat to his team status in the bud.
On this basis.
Coach D'Antoni also implemented a "Three-Body Problem"-style targeted defense, making Curry play terribly.
Thus.
The chances of poaching Curry will greatly increase!!!
