It's not that Stephen doesn't want to counterattack, but the Jazz's defense is not covered. Except for Kirilenko's entanglement, as long as Stephen breaks away from Kirilenko's defense, the others will be a foul without hesitation, and even take a shot. Don't let Stephen make a move.

Stephen scored 45 points by making [-] of [-] free throws. In addition, he didn't score a single game. All three shots were missed because of Kirilenko's interference. Although it seems that Stephen has been scoring, now his score It has reached [-] points, but the team's backward situation has not changed at all, but it is trying to maintain the gap from being further expanded.

The problem with the offense is that no one can score except for Stephen. In this way, the defensive pressure of the Jazz team is all on Stephen alone. After the Jazz seemed to have no hope of winning, the defensive quality and intensity of others also declined, and the Jazz scored more and more easily.

No matter how strong Stephen is, what can he do? The Jazz are a playoff team, but the Sonics have not even made it to the playoffs. Even if Stephen alone can match Ray Allen and Lewis First, the team is not the opponent of the Jazz.

Stephen broke through the defense line of Kirilenko and Boozer with a snaking step rarely seen. Just as he reached out and put the ball into the basket, he heard a bad wind and Coupard's roar from behind. He dodged to one side, but it was already too late. Stephen, who was too eager to score, put himself in a dangerous position. Although he had Coupard's reminder and quick reaction, he was still slapped heavily on the shoulder by Okur.

Before Stephen could turn around to react, he saw Okur's huge body being hit and flew more than two meters away from the basket. Coupard, with red eyes, wanted to chase after him, and was hugged by Wilcox. And Stephen was also stopped by Durant, only Delonty West stood in front of everyone in the Jazz to negotiate with the other party.

The other players on the Supersonic team have received instructions from the coaching staff. Once there is a conflict on the field, the first thing to do is not to fight the opponent, but to control Stephen, because Carlesimo knows Stephen very well. If you don't do it, it's all right, and once you do it, it's out of control, so I told the other players that Durant was very concerned about Stephen, and blocked Stephen when he came up, while still trying to persuade Stephen to calm down.

"Don't worry, I won't be impulsive, get out of the way." Stephen pushed Durant away, came to Coupard, gave him a calm look, and pushed him aside, and then Stephen Come to the referee, explain Coupard's actions to the referee, and relieve him.

The referee shook his hand, indicating that Stephen didn't need to say more, but he didn't make a big fuss about it. He just gave Coupard a technical foul, and then gave Okur a foul. The Jazz players still have to pester one or two, the referee Immediately looked at them with warning eyes, with an expression that anyone who talked too much would suffer a technical foul, and no one dared to speak immediately.

At the time of the free throw, Carlesimo replaced Coupard with Robert Horry, but even that didn't help. The Sonics' offense still couldn't open up, and the quality of defense couldn't be improved. , Robert Horry missed two shots from beyond the three-point line. His brilliance seems to only bloom in the finals. In such an ordinary game, it seems to have lost its magic.

The Jazz did not relax their defense against Stephen because of this, but increased their defensive actions. The Jazz's defense is like this. They use this kind of persistence to make the referee have no choice but to accept their defensive style. You can never put us All sent off, it is impossible to call a foul in a round, so that the game cannot continue.

The Jazz's defensive skills and defensive literacy are not too high. They rely on this inconsistency in the penalty scale to defend. This is the only one in the league. It's at the home court of the Sonics, but is there any difference between the home and away games of the Sonics?

Stephen was called for two fouls very quickly. At this time, Carlesimo replaced Stephen. Stephen resisted his anger and walked off the field, but the fans still understood Stephen. Although it seemed to be another failure, but The fans still expressed their support for Stephen with applause.

Carlesimo replaced the full bench lineup and played more than one point. It is good to let them adapt to the game, otherwise they will not be able to train people. Carlesimo already knows that the team will not have any The deal happened, and all he could do was use the materials at hand to pursue victory as much as possible. Thinking of this, Carlesimo set his sights on Stephen who was sitting there motionless, and he had to rely on him. How could he win as much as possible? It's a great way to play Stephen's ability, and let the rest of the team perform.

Carlesimo looked at Coupard again. In the past two games, this kid's performance has improved. It is said that he can become Stephen's helper, but this temper, although it is not for him, but that is not okay. I have to ask Stephen to discipline him and increase his playing time.

It's a pity that the effect of Coppard and Wilcox appearing together on the field is not very good. The performance of the two on both ends of the offense and defense is not too bad, but there is a lack of cooperation between the two of them. Fighting, no matter how capable you are.

In addition, there is Durant, who is a very good talent, but when he grows up, it will not be a matter of one or two games. His physical strength and confrontation ability are not enough for him to play too much time, and at the same time Tell the fitness coach to increase his physical training.

As for the others, except for Ridnor, Carlesimo has no expectations. As long as Ridnor adjusts his mentality and is willing to cooperate with Stephen, his personal ability is higher than that of Watson, but as a Point guards like to express themselves too much, but in this team, it is just not allowed to do so.

I can only hope that with the passage of time, the tacit understanding of the team will further increase, and some cooperation will be played. At this stage, we have to count on Stephen. As for losing the game, Carlesimo has long been mentally prepared and used to it. After the Spurs' style of play and lineup, and then coaching such a team, the strong gap made him feel like giving up on himself.

After losing the game against the Jazz, the Sonics have already lost two games in a row, and they have lost three games in a row at home. The current record is three wins and three losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference, which is not bad. But the next game is against the Detroit Pistons. Although the strength of the Detroit Pistons has declined, it is not something the current Sonics can deal with, especially their main lineup. This kind of team and overall style is the nemesis of the Sonics.

Therefore, in the training on the second day, Carlesimo not only did not decrease, but increased the amount of training. The most important thing now is to further integrate the team's lineup. There is no need to care about one or two games, and the Pistons Opponents like the team are not easy to beat.

However, if this game is lost again, it will be a four-game losing streak at home, and this season has not won a single victory. With the Pistons, it's a five-game road trip before returning to home games against the New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs.

Carlesimo set his goal on the New Jersey Nets. Compared with the New Jersey Nets, the strength of the New Jersey Nets is not too strong. Although it is also a playoff team, it also reached the conference semifinals last season. But the strength of the teams in the East is still a little bit worse.

As for the victory over the Spurs, Carlesimo didn't dare to think about it at all. Not to mention the lineup, strength, and degree of cooperation, but the level of coaching, Carlesimo didn't think that his two brushes belonged to Vicki Opponents, they can only find comfort in the New Jersey Nets, otherwise, don't expect it this month.

The Pistons, except for Antonio McDyess as the center, are still the same four-man combination. This has not changed at all. They have played together for four seasons, and the tacit understanding they have developed is as good as any team in the league. No team can compare.

Although the quality of their defense was greatly reduced after losing Ben Wallace, the offense was unimpaired, and even this level of defense is not something the current Supersonics can handle. Still played a consistent level, got 46 points, nine rebounds and nine assists quasi-triple-double data, but the team still lost to the Detroit Pistons by [-] points, the Sonics still won at home Hard to find.

In this game, Watson did not play due to a bruise on his calf and tibia. Ridnour, who replaced him in the starting lineup, scored [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists, and was the team's second-highest scoring player. Rasheed Wallace played fearlessly in two games. Although he scored a little less and only scored [-] points, he grabbed [-] rebounds and also blocked two shots.

This kind of performance is already eye-catching enough. You must know that if his opponent McDyess is not injured, he is also a close to the top inside player. When the status quo is gradually changing, doubtful noises have also begun to appear.

"High scores can't be exchanged for victory, what's the use of it", this is an article in the Seattle Post, and the same article appeared on a local sports website at the same time, raising direct doubts about Stephen. It was Stephen's high scoring that hurt the team, and it was hard for the team to win.
