Chapter 301 Suppressing Newcomers

Losing to a team like the Bobcats is both surprising and reasonable. Regardless of back-to-back factors, the stronger the team, the more suddenly it will be upset against the weaker team, especially this one. Weak teams still have this tradition.

Why do you win against a strong team but lose to a weak team? This is due to multiple factors, such as underestimating the enemy. To be honest, Stephen felt that it would be no problem to win the Bobcats. As a result, in the game, the Bobcats Although it doesn't play very well, it is very resilient and very tough.

Faced with this kind of toughness, the exhausted Spurs were defeated and lost to the new army of the league. In this game, this year's No. [-] pick Adam Morrison played quite well, but Stephen impressed him The deepest one is Gerald Wallace.

Throughout the game, Stephen has been dealing with his defense. Facing him, Stephen seems to have seen another self. Although he has entered the league much longer than himself, he became famous only after he came to the Bobcats Only then did the beautiful data come out.

His height and strength are similar to Stephen's, and his excellent jumping and speed. Although his strength is not as exaggerated as Stephen's, he is also considered to be top-notch among the opposing players. He is good at various defensive skills, as well as steals and blocks. His technical characteristics are also the same as Stephen, and he can play from the second position to the fourth position.

Although under his defense, Stephen still scored [-] plus points, while he only scored [-] points, but Stephen still recognized his ability, and he was also a difficult defensive player. How should I put it? It is very similar to Marion of the Suns, but faster, more responsive, and less powerful.

During the confrontation, the two formed a friendship, probably because they looked at each other pleasingly. After the game, Gerald Wallace chatted with Stephen and exchanged contact information at the same time. The two made an appointment to go back to the Spurs When Charlotte is playing away, the two get together again.

Sent away the Charlotte Bobcats, only stopped for one day, and ushered in the challenge of the Chicago Bulls. This is a once brilliant team. When Stephen started to play basketball, he watched the Bulls most often. North Carolina also regarded the Bulls as their home team at that time, but no one watched the Charlotte Hornets game, otherwise they would not have moved to New Orleans.

The current Bulls have a large group of amazingly talented players, but their results are not satisfactory. Of course, it may also be related to the heavy honor they bear. After all, whoever has a senior like Air Jordan in front of them will feel the heavy burden pressure.

Their team has five or six first-round lottery picks in recent years, and they all performed very well, but there is not a single player who can be called the leader of the team. Cohesion, fighting alone, unable to unite.

Everyone is a genius, they are all first-round lottery, why should you be the boss and I am the second child, everyone's ability statistics are similar, no one stands out, and the team can't decide who to rebuild the core, so the days It can only be like this day by day, and every year is a lottery.

The Spurs are the best at dealing with this kind of team. They are all young people. They play with vigor. Naturally, he will play worse and worse under the Spurs' defense.

And the game developed like this from the beginning to the end. The Bulls' offense was very fierce in the first quarter. Their double point guard lineup made the Spurs' defense extremely uncomfortable. Until the middle, Popovich Put on Ginobili, the situation has improved.

In this game, Stephen mainly defended Luol Deng. Although this guy is tall, his physical fitness is not very good. It is probably because he was born in Duke University. His style of play is more elegant. You can't always shoot. As a small forward, you basically don't even have a breakthrough. No matter how accurate your shots are, you are not a qualified small forward.

The score of the two sides in the first quarter was 27 to 28. The home team was behind the visiting team, and the Spurs fell behind by one point. , At this time, the state is just right. Although Duncan took a rest, it did not damage the Spurs' tactical strength.

The Spurs only scored 3 points in this quarter, but they only allowed the Bulls to score [-] points. I didn't know it before, but [-] points is definitely the Bulls' lowest score in a single quarter this season, especially this kind of suffocation. The defense of the Bulls was a big blow to the Bulls players. They didn't score a point in the last [-] minutes. When they left the field, they all looked pale and nervous.

Since the three teams in Texas are very close, in order to save travel expenses, these three teams are usually arranged together when arranging an away trip. For many weak teams or young teams, from Texas's road trip is almost like a circle from hell. After three games, it is either a complete collapse or a relief. This is how it feels for the Bulls now.

Luol Deng failed to score a point in the first half of the second quarter and was replaced by Sefoloza. This is the No.13 rookie in the first round this year. Seeing Stephen's ready appearance, he even pointed at Stephen He curled his lips, not afraid that Stephen would look at him at all, but Stephen quickly let him see how powerful he is.

From when he came on the field to the end of the first half, he got the ball four times in total. He was intercepted by Stephen once, blocked by Stephen once, and was interfered by Stephen once and made a non-stick shot. The last time he saw Stephen force over, he was already scared He didn't dare to make a shot, and hurriedly passed the ball to his teammate, but he made a mistake in his busy schedule and made a mistake.

At the end of the court, Stephen saw that his mouth was curled up, and he was still praising his psychological quality in his heart, but when he turned his head to see, it wasn't curled lips at all, but the corners of his mouth were trembling, and he was sweating profusely, and he didn't even care to wipe it off. After rubbing on, he walked to the locker room.

"He is still a rookie. He has just entered the league, and it is so heartless for you to destroy him like this." When walking to the locker room, Robert Horry also saw Sefolosha's appearance, and joked to Stephen.

"That's right, Stephen, you are not jealous that someone has a higher pick than you. You want to pick a lower pick than you in the Bulls. It's really hard to find." Brent Barry also drove Stephen next to him. Everyone often joked about Stephen's draft pick, and Stephen wasn't angry, not to mention that everyone knew each other so well, but when it came to the teasing of the two of them, Stephen also responded lazily, curling his lips to signal that he would ignore them when he heard it There are two.

In the third quarter, Ben Gordon, who played for only a few minutes in the first half and didn't show much, suddenly showed his strength. He was the No. [-] pick in [-]. Except for his height, he had no shortcomings. The reason why the Bulls chose the third pick He was selected because of his omnipotence on the offensive end. You must know that the No. [-] pick is a very sacred pick in the Bulls. That year, Jordan was selected with the No. [-] pick, which brought him more than ten years of brilliance.

Three-pointers, breakthroughs, and jump shots are like a personal scoring demonstration. The Spurs' defense is in front of him, as if it does not exist. He has strength, but without his speed and flexibility, he is like an enhanced version of Wade with reduced strength and shooting. The Spurs had no way to get such a player last season, and this season is still the same.

Udic is about the same height as him, and both of them are of the same age, but he was beaten by Ben Gordon within a short while, and Udic didn't have any temper at all. Even so, Popovich still didn't give up Enter Stephen.

On the one hand, this is just a regular season, which is different from the finals where every point is counted, and the Spurs are still leading. At the same time, Popovich does not want to develop such a habit and mentality. Stephen, he's playing enough minutes now.

But even with Ben Gordon's explosion, the Bulls' defense was very poor, and the Spurs' offense was also very good. After one quarter, the Bulls only narrowed the score by three points. There is still a gap of five points.

In the fourth quarter, it was time for the decisive victory. The Spurs once again improved their defense to the extreme, and Stephen was replaced on the court after 2 minutes, directly facing Ben Gordon. Seeing Stephen coming up, Ben Gordon Not only did Gordon not show the slightest fear, but he showed an expression of eagerness to try.

This kid is not bad, he can become a big weapon, Stephen immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, these days, there are not many young people who dare to challenge themselves, not even Luol Deng is as brave as him, but For such players, Stephen's usual approach is to completely suppress them, let him recognize the reality of this society, recognize the gap between the two sides, and recognize that challenges come at a price.

Ben Gordon learned how terrible Stephen's defense was in the first round. No matter what he tried, Stephen clung around him like a ghost close to his body, and it was impossible to break through. There is no advantage in strength, speed or footsteps, and there is simply no possibility of making a move.

Of course, Stephen also used 24% of his strength to achieve such an effect, but the effect was just now. Ben Gordon persisted until the [-] seconds of the attack were over, and he did not find a chance to make a shot. This blow made him He instantly realized the difference in strength between the two, and when he attacked again, he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

The Bulls themselves had no chance of winning, and the appearance of Ben Gordon only caused a small wave. In this quarter, the Spurs once again used defense to suppress the Bulls' scoring and only scored [-] points. He won the game without any surprises.
