Nike's rolling out a campaign for the start of the 2016-17 NBA season called "Come Out of Nowhere" that commends gutsy plays and conquering insurmountable odds. Following up on its video for LeBron James referencing "The Block," the brand dropped the below, a stylized image of Kyrie Irving taking a shot in the Finals despite the defensive efforts of the Warriors.
Who exactly is Irving challenging with "Take Your Shots"? One possible answer is celebrated shooter Steph Curry, whose arm may or may not be creeping in from the right side of the frame. The ad doesn't quite call out Curry directly, but just might be the closest Nike will get to doing so.
湖人在總教練Luke Walton運籌帷幄下,本季打出不一樣的面貌。今天共有6人得分上雙,其中前鋒Julius Randle 拿下20分、14籃板表現搶眼,板凳出發的Lou Williams 火力兇猛,挹注20分外帶4助攻、3抄截,另外D'Angelo Russell 17分、Nick Young 和Larry Nance Jr.、Brandon Ingram等三人也都進帳12分。
Similar to last season's defeat at the hands of the Lakers, the Warriors' backcourt of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson were abysmal from the field, especially from beyond the arc. In their 2015-16 matchup, Curry and Thompson went a combined 1-for-18. Last night, the Splash Brothers were 2-for-20. In the process, Steph, who went 0-for-10 from three-point range, snapped an NBA-record streak of 157 games with a three-pointer. "That was a cool little ride," Curry said. "Would have loved to finish my career making one every game, but hey, start a new one. What was it, like two years? Kind of weird not to make one, but I will keep shooting."
