"It's been so long, Mr. Hubie, can you comment on the performance of these two best rookie contenders?" Taking advantage of the timeout, Mike Thirico asked the gray-haired Hubie beside him. Brown, the 70-year-old head coach, is also unique since the establishment of the league. Among the two best coaches he won, he worked as a commentator for 16 years. He naturally has his own unique views on basketball and games.

"The performance of both of them is a bit unsatisfactory. To be honest, I haven't watched the game between the two of them before this game. Of course, I have seen the replay of the game, but you must know that you can't fully understand a player through the replay. Chris organized the team very well, but this is just what he should do as a point guard. If he continues to develop according to the current situation, he will not be able to lead the team to beat the league's No. [-] Spurs, although the Spurs are back to back, and the Hornets The team had a good rest for two days." Hubie Brown pulled the microphone close to his side and opened it, and Tirico knew that he was going to make a long speech. continued.

"Besides, Stephen, his performance is also very satisfactory. He can fight against Mason without losing the wind. Whether it is the game or other aspects, it proves that he can at least become the next Mason, but is this enough? He has a second round The first place in the show, he is only one step away from the best rookie, if he wants to create a second-round pick and win the best rookie trophy, I think he needs to play harder."

"Then you are not very satisfied with both of them, but they are the two best performers among this year's rookies." Tyreek wanted Hubie Brown to continue to comment on the two, because the director told him that with Hubby Brown's comments, many people have locked the espn sports channel, indicating that fans are very interested in this best rookie contest.

"The season has just started. I think it's too early to judge the best rookie candidates. You must know that some players are working late."

"So who else do you think can affect the advantage of their leader?" Thirico continued.

"Hehe, I hate predicting some unknowns, but if I have to vote, I will add the name of this year's No. [-] pick, or the fat boy of the Jazz." Rico asked this to laugh at himself, but as an excellent commentator, he still knew that this is what fans like to see the most, so he said it along.

"Mr. Hubie, why are you so pessimistic about Marvin Williams, who was born in North Carolina?" Tirico continued to induce Hubie Brown to say more fans like to hear.

"I think this is due to everyone's wealthy factors. For players from Duke University and North Carolina University, everyone is more partial, but everyone should see that Duke University was eliminated early in this year's NCAA Championships. Although the University of North Carolina made it to the end, they did not win the championship and lost to the unknown University of Southern California. Although there are many factors for the victory of the basketball game, they were able to win the championship in the single-elimination tournament. No one expected the victory of the University of California, and it fully proved the strength of their coaches and players. As the two main players of the University of Southern California, Coupard and Stephen did not receive enough attention when they ran for the election. In addition to the factors of the University of Southern California, I think this has a lot to do with them choosing a brokerage company that has never entered this field. If it is a broker or brokerage company that has been in the industry for many years, I think it will definitely not be what it is now , especially Stephen, at least he won’t fall into the second round and be picked up by the Spurs.”

"Okay, that's the end of the comments, let's go back to the field to see what kind of performance the two will have in the next game." In fact, the game has already started for a while, but due to Hubie Brown's long speech , the game screen was shrunk into a small square and placed next to it. Just a moment ago, Chris Paul scored four points and one assist again, especially in the face of Stephen's jumper. Stephen didn't seem to interfere with him at all. same shot.

Although Stephen couldn't hear the commentary of the two of them, the audience kept booing him and holding up signs supporting Chris Paul as the best rookie. The team's tactics take the initiative to defend Chris Paul, and they have to play according to the tactics in the offense. Their role in the offensive tactics of the main lineup is equivalent to that of Bruce Bowen in the past. Naturally, there is no good performance. It's better to play casually and relax on the bench.

At least in the previous bench lineup, he was the first choice for the right to shoot. After Ginobili came to the bench lineup, he had no objection to the number of ball possessions. The assists given to Stephen were better than those given by Van Exel to Stephen More, so Stephen's performance has actually improved. When Stephen arrived in the main lineup, he found that in the main lineup, his degree of freedom was not as high as in the substitute lineup. After Michael Finley and Parker, Stephen naturally didn't adapt to this way of playing for half a day without even touching the ball.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. For Stephen, this is the situation now. To enter the starting lineup, you must give up your desire to take more shots, and be a defensive leader with peace of mind. Occasionally, when you need your own impact , Just take the ball and rush in or hit it back, but in the substitute lineup, you can shoot as you like. Stephen is naturally unwilling to be just a green leaf instead of a red flower like before.

After the first quarter, Stephen only scored four points and one rebound, while Chris Paul on the opposite side already had nine points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals. In contrast, Stephen's performance was a bit too bad , but Stephen didn't care too much about this. What he was worried about was whether he wanted to be a main player with glory but no shot rights, or a substitute player who was willing to contribute to the unknown.

Since the Spurs had just finished playing the game against the Kings yesterday, after the first quarter, many players showed signs of dissatisfaction. Popovich immediately performed a lineup rotation, and replaced the substitute lineup at the beginning of the second quarter. , due to Ginobili's absence for this game, Stephen became a shooting guard on the bench, and Bruce Bowen served as a small forward.

Arriving in this lineup, Stephen immediately felt like a long-thirsty fish in the water, feeling really comfortable. At the beginning, he fired a shot from outside the three-point line, and then successfully stole it from JR Smith. Long surprised everyone with a fast break dunk and five points in less than 20 seconds, catching up to Chris Paul's score.

After Chris Paul once again assisted teammate David West to score a layup, Stephen staged another amazing scene, breaking through with the ball and overpowering jr Smith, and then entered the restricted area, under the attack of David West and pj Brown , squeezed two people away for a dunk, and caused pj brown to foul and made an additional penalty.

In just over 1 minute, [-] points. Compared with the performance of the previous quarter, Stephen was completely new, as if he had changed, which made people very confused. Which one is the real him? At this time, Hubie Brown hit the nail on the head Point out the reason.

"Stephen is a ball-handling player. His offense needs the ball very much. In the main lineup of the Spurs, he does not have the ball, so he will do nothing in the first quarter of the game and can only act as a player. Defensively like Bruce Bowen, of course, that's probably what the Spurs meant by signing him, but it's a waste of Steph's offensive talent, and I think Popovich needs to think about it."

Popovich has discovered this problem a long time ago, but there is no good solution. Stephen's offensive characteristics are contrary to the offensive tactics of the current Spurs' main lineup. It is internal and external coordination and high pick-and-roll. Stephen can be a useful supplement to tactics, just like Bruce Bowen's corner three-pointer. You can make two or three shots in a game, and you are not expected to play much function.

But for Stephen, this is a bit of a waste of his offensive talent. If he is in the substitute lineup, he can easily solve this problem, because the players in the substitute lineup are not fixed, and there is no fixed tactics at all. It is Popovich's tactical testing ground.

Stephen was only silent for two rounds, and then shot again, blocking jr Smith's layup, Chris Paul picked up the ball and made another breakthrough layup, still blocked by Stephen, the ball still fell into the hands of the Hornets In , after transferring the ball twice, David West made a comeback, but was still blocked by Stephen.

A round of offense was blocked by Stephen three times in a row. Stephen's big hand is like a huge wall between the Hornets players and the basket, and the Hornets' offense has failed several times. Such a performance is natural It also left a deep impression on all fans and spectators.

After the opening, Stephen's performance was even more fiery. After breaking through JR Smith's defense, he bypassed David West's interception, avoided Chris Paul's steal, then took a feint in front of Merlin, turned around and jumped up , A slam dunk in front of pj brown ended the attack, and one person teased all the Hornets.

The head coach of the Hornets saw that their main lineup was replaced here. The main lineup was brutally abused by the opponent's substitute lineup. Not to mention, it is not a good thing for the players' self-confidence. It is better to let the substitute lineup go up and try. Together with the data from the first half, Stephen has scored [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks.

"You know who he reminds me of?" Hubie Brown asked suddenly.

"Who?" Tirico naturally didn't know who he was talking about, could it be "Little Emperor" James?

"Kirilenko, his versatility and jumping remind me of this player." Hubie Brown looked at Stephen on the field, his eyes sparkled. If he could have such a player when he was a coach, he should have how nice.
