Coupard's conflict with Chris Kaman led to the transaction. On the day of the transaction, he was stabbed by the all-pervasive Los Angeles. However, most fans did not respond to the transaction. After all, Coupard's performance in the past two seasons It's just average, it can only be said that it barely matches his pick, and it doesn't have super value. Compared with Chris Kaman, there is still a big gap.

So it is normal for the Clippers to get a draft pick while sending him. The two players paid by the Supersonics are not bad, and this transaction was initiated by the Clippers. The team can't prepare for the game if it is traded as soon as possible, so it should suffer a bit.

Some media like to hype topics like revenge, but except for a few small media who mentioned Coupard's return, the slightly famous media did not pay attention to him, but brought the topic to Stephen and Los Angeles On the origin of this city, or discussing the topic of Stephen almost joining the Lakers this summer.

The scale of the Los Angeles media industry is not comparable to the small Seattle. It has been counted across the United States, and New York can be compared with him. However, so many media have hardly expected that today's game will be a story of Coupard's revenge. .

Before the game, Coupard had already communicated with Stephen. This game must be good for Chris Kaman, to make the Clippers management regret their choice, and to surprise the media and fans who do not value themselves. Well, it's rare to see Coupard being so active and full of fighting spirit. Stephen naturally fully supports it.

At the beginning of the game, Coupard leaned on Chris Kaman to ask Stephen for the ball. Stephen didn't pass it directly to him, but made a fake breakthrough to attract Maggette's defense. After seeing Chris After Kaman also focused on himself, he suddenly passed the ball to Coupard.

After two consecutive [-]-plus performances, no one dared to underestimate Stephen's scoring ability. Even if he is not a matchup player, he is easily attracted by Stephen's offensive moves. Chris Kaman was stunned. , Coupard received the ball, and then began to exert force towards him.

He was not prepared to deal with it, so he was squeezed by Coupard and lost his defensive position. When he wanted to meet him again, Coupard turned around flexibly and pushed him aside at the same time, facing the basket with a single Hand split dunks get two points.

After getting down, Coupard grinned at Chris Kaman, but Chris Kaman didn't respond, but after waiting for the Sonics' basket, Chris Kaman also uncharacteristically asked his teammate Cassell to prepare for the singles. Pard, Cassell didn't delay, and passed the ball directly, but after receiving the ball, he made a push back, but Coupard didn't squeeze away like before.

He also used the strength of Coupard he felt in the team's confrontation training to measure and compare. Naturally, he didn't know that Coupard didn't use his full strength at that time. Coupard didn't even think about it when he was in the Clippers. After being able to grab Chris Kaman's starting position, he thought it would be enough to be a substitute, so he didn't need to work hard at all during confrontation training, and he always felt that Coupard was almost useless except for his height.

But now that they are opponents, and there are still conflicts between the two sides, Coupard naturally has to use all his strength to deal with it. The feeling in the attack just now was not obvious. After all, Coupard has such a large tonnage, and the explosive power of black players has always been low. He has an advantage, but now it's his turn to attack, and when he feels Coupard's top defense behind him, he feels that he has underestimated Coupard before.

Coupard stood firmly against Chris Kaman from behind, without taking a step back, Chris Kaman leaned back again, Coupard still did not move at all, the two were of the same height, but Coupard was taller than He would have gained twenty pounds, and that twenty pounds was pure muscle.

After finding that it was impossible to squeeze Coupard, Chris Kaman quickly changed his offensive method and leaned back again, but only used six points of strength, and then quickly retracted, turning around with his right foot as the center, trying to Go to the basket from the baseline.

But while he was moving, Coupard also turned around and stood in front of Chris Kaman again. Chris Kaman found that he hadn't got rid of Coupard's defense, and if he didn't make a move, it would take three seconds. Hastily stepped back and shot a jumper.

At the same time as he shot, Coupard also jumped up, raised his hands high, in order to avoid his block, but also in a hurry, Chris Kaman's shot landed on the top of the rim, and then bounced , bounced back towards the middle of the two of them.

Both of them crossed their arms and competed with each other hard at the same time. In the end, Coupard still had the last laugh, took the rebound off Chris Kaman's head, and threw the ball to Watson. Coupard He strode towards his own half again, and Chris Kaman was obviously a little slower than him. The distance between the two was from one position to two positions, and when Coppard ran across the three-point line At the time, Chris Kaman was preparing to cross the midfield line with one foot.

At this time, the ball was in Stephen's hands. Seeing that Chris Kaman hadn't kept up with Coupard, Stephen greeted casually and threw the ball in the direction of Coupard. Reaching out to catch the ball, the foot accelerates towards the hoop.

Since Chris Kaman did not come back, and the core of the Clippers, Elton Brand, did not play due to injury, Tim Thomas at the power forward position had to come over to block Coupard, but Coupard did not even Without any hesitation, he rushed over with the ball in his hand.

While jumping up and dunking the ball into the basket with one hand, Coupard also directly hit Tim Thomas and flew out, and the referee also sentenced Tim Thomas to a blocking foul, which can be clearly seen through the live playback. While being hit, his feet were still moving, and one foot was already inside the reasonable impact zone.

Although "Alien" Sam Cassell was almost too old to run, he teased Watson just by the change in rhythm. Stephen had to run over from one side and blocked In front of him, Cassel immediately reached out and passed the ball to Maggette from under Stephen's flank.

Stephen ran to defend Kassel, and Maggette didn't have anyone to defend. Wilcox ran over from the basket and filled Stephen's position. Wilcox's defensive line, he intended to pass the ball inside, but Coupard stood alone between Chris Kaman and Tim Thomas, with his huge body and wingspan, Maggette could pass to anyone Feel uneasy.

Maggette chose to make his own shot, but his shot went directly over the basket under the interference of Wilcox and fell to the other side. Coppard immediately swayed to squeeze Chris Kaman away, and then used his height to The advantage poked out the ball that Tim Thomas had already got and grabbed it.

After coming back, Stephen dribbled the ball along the baseline and passed under the basket. After running out of the three-second zone, he suddenly turned around and threw the ball to the basket. Coupard, who was standing under the basket, didn't care whether Stephen was Passing or shooting, the ball was still on its way up, and he grabbed it with both hands and dunked it into the basket.

The Clippers re-launched the offense. Cassell made a pass behind the basket and passed the ball to Quinton Rose. Stephen went to defend Maggette, who had a better offense. Durant did not expect Cassell Will's pass will come from this angle at this time. He is ready to grab a rebound or cooperate to launch a fast break. He didn't expect the ball to fly over suddenly. It is too late for him to defend again, and Quinton Ross has already made a shot up.

Facing Maggette's defense, Stephen made an easy throw. The ball crossed a very high arc and flew into the basket without a sound. Maggette wanted to break through for a layup in front of him, but the ball just As soon as he shot, he was blocked by Stephen, and then he made a fast break with Watson. In the case of two-on-three, he scored a dunk with an aerial pull bar and caused a foul by Quinton Ross.

Chris Kaman still wanted to save face in front of Coupard, but Coupard forced him to take a step with solid steps, which made him lose face. He turned back and said something to Coupard, Coupard retorted, seeing the two people quarreling, the players on both sides hurriedly separated the two of them.

Stephen also reprimanded Coupard, wanting to prove that he is more worthy of choice than the opponent, so he showed his ability on the court, arguing with the opponent like a shrew, and of course there is no need to do it, Stephen told him , I will definitely pass the ball to him more, so that he can play more aggressively.

The Clippers’ defense was not as good as the Suns’ in Stephen’s opinion. Maggette alone couldn’t stop Stephen. After passing him easily again, Stephen went straight to the basket, and Chris Kaman turned around and pounced. When Stephen turned around, he reached out and handed the ball to Coupard. Coupard raised his hand and made a layup, scoring two points again.

Just a few minutes of performance, almost everyone can see that Coupard has the ability or potential not inferior to Chris Kaman. On the offensive end, his offensive methods may not be as rich and mature as Chris Kaman, but But he has more impact. On the defensive end, his feet are more flexible and powerful, and he is better than Chris Kaman in jumping.

It would be a lie to say that old Dunleavy has no regrets. At that time, he really thought about keeping Coupard and trading Chris Kaman, but in the end he chose to be more conservative. Now it seems that Coupard kept up with the Compared with the season, it seems like a different person, the decision to trade him out was made too hastily.

When Coupard once again caused Chris Kaman to foul and forced him to rest, many people paid attention to this big man. Is this guy really capable? focus of attention.
