The strength of the Spurs is seen by many experts and the media, and they are advocating for the Spurs. When the bookmakers set the odds, the odds of the Spurs winning the championship are also the lowest in the league, followed by the Heat. , Affected by Ben Hualaihua's departure from the team, the Pistons left the championship group, not even as good as the Mavericks who just lost to the Spurs.

In addition, the Rockets, which are favored every year but are not satisfactory every year, are still listed in the playoff group, and their odds of winning the championship are even higher than the Los Angeles Lakers who rely on Kobe to fight alone Teams, mainly the Rockets' deals during the season are quite optimistic.

Whether it is the acquisition of Bonzi Wells, the recruitment of Spanoulis, who shined in the World Championships, or the exchange of Rudy Gay for Shane Battier, this transaction of exchanging the future for the present is also considered a People are quite optimistic. Now the Rockets don't lack talent, and they don't need the future. What they want is the present.

Although it was only a preseason game, Stephen was able to score 36 points, which also shows that he is still in good condition. Combined with his hard training in the summer, people are more optimistic about his future, and his negotiations with the Spurs have also been rejected. Many people secretly watched.

The Spurs have also had a lot of personnel changes this season, but their main body and core lineup have not changed, which proves that they are still strong, especially Ginobili and Duncan are in better condition than last season, which makes them People feel that the Spurs are even more terrifying.

If you can't beat your opponent on the front court, then attack from behind. A team with so many powerful players must become the target of public criticism. Many teams have aimed their opponents at the Spurs. Think of other ideas.

Stephen received two good news in a row. One is that his portrait was adopted by "Sports Illustrated" magazine and became the cover character of the next issue. This is a great honor for a player, because every issue On the magazine, only one player can be selected, and "Sports Illustrated" does not only select basketball players.

Another good news is that the [-]-[-] version of nbalive newly released by Electronic Arts is about to be launched, and they are planning to use Stephen as the spokesperson for the game. On the startup screen, Stephen's name will appear Full portrait.

The endorsement fee is not high, only 45 US dollars, but it is also a high recognition for a player. Every year, the endorsement players are popular stars of the year, and Stephen's achievements are also worthy of this honor.

But what is very worrying is that since the release of this annual game, every year the spokespersons will encounter varying degrees of curses. This is also a well-known curse in the league. All the players who are selected, it is not the data that has dropped significantly. , is suffering from injuries, or there are various problems with the team.

O'Neal, the first spokesperson, missed two months of the game because of a fractured phalanx. The team's right to speak was also taken away by "Penny" Hardaway, and finally left Oakland for Los Angeles. The second spokesperson, Richmond When the season passed with the playoffs.

And the third spokesperson is Tim Hardaway. From the beginning, everything is good. When he thought he would escape this monster, in the first round against the New York Knicks, the "Van Gundy Leg-Holding Incident" occurred. Many Heat players were suspended and the team was eliminated.

The next spokesperson is Antoine Walker. He and the Celtics team he belongs to belong to the ill-fated team, so it seems that he has not been affected, but his position as the boss of the team has been replaced by Paul Pierce. Snatching is an obvious fact.

And Stephen's teammate Tim Duncan is the next one to suffer. After he just won the championship and the most valuable player of the finals, he became the spokesperson. He has been very healthy and fell in the final stage of the regular season. The Spurs The team was also eliminated in the first round. It seems that the famous "Stone Buddha" can't resist this curse.

Duncan was followed by Garnett, who didn't have any problems because the Timberwolves were also a weak team, but his statistics stopped growing for the first time in five years, and he was in the best team and the best defensive team Also lost to the first team.

Then there is Yao Ming's teammate Francis, who was plagued by injuries and only played 57 games. The team laid down the future.

Then there is Jason Kidd, he is the least affected by the curse of all the characters, the team still reached the finals, he still missed the championship, and then Vince Carter, maybe the curse was shared by others, Back then, the rugby endorser of Electronic Arts broke his leg, and the ice hockey endorser had a car accident and personally sent his teammates to heaven. Carter was only slightly affected by injuries and the team's performance.

Carmelo Anthony in the back showed a decline in performance, and then Wade, who met an even more eccentric Stephen, causing the championship to fall to his family, which can be regarded as being cursed. How about Stephen?

After Robert Horry heard the news, he called Stephen, saying that the curse has affected you in advance, and your foot injury is an example. He knows a very powerful Indian high priest, and he can help you if necessary. If you introduce it to Stephen, you can get a [-]% discount.

Stephen did not agree, this should be just a coincidence, or an inevitable result, because the players he selected were all players who achieved glory in the last season, so it is inevitable that they will not be able to maintain their glory in the next season, and it is normal for their performance or results to decline of.

Besides, even if Stephen needs to break the spell, he still believes in the kind of priests that the pastor or his father said. As for those Indian wizards, forget it, if they have this ability, they will not fall to the current situation.

Stephen happily accepted it. Anyway, once a year, there will be no such store after this village. They are not like nba2k, who like to use a star all the time. They have to change a person every year. Who knows the next winter season? Who will they fall in love with? Earning one is one.

It is said that McGrady was originally selected by Electronic Arts. They thought that the Rockets' record this season would be greatly improved, but then they thought about McGrady's fragile body. Talk about their curse, so they chose Stephen, who is very strong, and the Spurs who just won the championship. If they are popular and powerful, they should be able to resist the attack of the curse.

It is said that the person on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" also has a curse. Stephen is too lazy to care about it, because the Spurs are about to start the regular season. But stayed, but was sent to the Development League by the team for further study.

The first opponent of the Spurs is still the Dallas Mavericks, but this time the Spurs are away to challenge the Mavericks. The two teams meet again. The defense launched an onslaught, just like in the playoffs.

The Spurs seemed a little unprepared. They just won the victory, which made them look down on the Mavericks. In the first game, no one thought that the Mavericks would be so crazy. Even if Stephen scored in double figures in a single quarter, the Spurs still won 27 to 21 behind the opponent.

These two teams are still the same players, but the situation between offense and defense has changed one by one. Now the Spurs are struggling to deal with it, but the Mavericks are attacking madly, especially Josh Howard. At the same time, the offense is particularly active.

Due to the impact of his foot injury, Stephen didn't dare to use all his strength to fight against him. It seemed like he couldn't guard him, but on the offensive end, Stephen played pretty well, and the players on the Spurs side Except for Tony Parker who performed well, everyone else's performance is very average, and it is inevitable to fall behind.

They lost six points in the first quarter and five points in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Elson and Ginobili launched a counterattack, finally closing the score to five points. Two three-pointers immediately pulled the score back.

As a last resort, Popovich replaced Stephen in advance, and wanted Stephen to join hands with Ginobili to see if it was possible to narrow the gap in the score. Stephen came on the court, but it worked. A successful layup after a breakthrough also caused Dampier's foul, and then Stephen launched a fast break after another block, one-stop layup.

However, the Mavericks quickly made adjustments and replaced Nowitzki. First, an outside three-pointer was scored, and then Robert Horry's mistake was used to score two points. The two teams were evenly matched. Three quarters are over.

Popovich fired aimlessly and reprimanded all the players on the field. After being scolded, the players seemed to wake up a little bit and returned to the court. First, Duncan scored with a hook from the basket, and then Ginobili Another steal in the hands of Anthony Johnson, assists Stephen layup.

The Spurs raised their defensive intensity to the extreme and finally defended against the Mavericks' offense. Stephen turned back and singled Josh Howard again. Although the shot missed, it caused Josh Howard's foul. After two hits, the Spurs finally narrowed the score to five points again.

Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot for the Mavericks, but Stephen immediately responded with a three-pointer. Seeing that the gap in the score was getting smaller and smaller, the Mavericks were a little flustered. There was a mistake in defense, and the Spurs seized the opportunity again to make a fast break, and it also caused a foul by Terry.

Then the scores of the two teams began to rise continuously. The Spurs were unable to completely overtake the score, but the Mavericks were also unable to widen the gap. Until the last 31 seconds of the game, the Spurs were still behind by two points. After the timeout , the Spurs sent Robert Horry, but in the end it was Stephen standing behind Robert Horry who performed the lore mission. With Stephen hitting a three-pointer, the Spurs overtook the score, leaving only the Mavericks Seven seconds of shot clock.

Although the Mavericks used foul tactics, they eventually lost the game. Stephen, who scored 27 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in this game, was hailed as the biggest contributor to the Spurs' victory, and the Mavericks also lost to Stephen. On one person, this made Mark Cuban, who was watching the game, move his mind.
