Chapter 419 Not Like Humiliation, Better Than Humiliation

After defeating the Magic, the Sonics set off overnight and flew to Miami, preparing for the second back-to-back game. The Heat are also a strong team, but they have to add a past in the middle. The loss in the finals last season made their morale great Injury, and for these veterans, when they can see the target in a short period of time, they will be full of motivation and explode with super combat effectiveness, which is why the Heat were so strong at the time.

But once they reach their goal or get far away from the goal, they will lose motivation, and the strength of the Heat will decline so quickly. Always guarantee to continue to attack the championship, but this is not the case when it comes to the court.

Even Dwyane Wade, or that series overwhelmed his body. After losing in the finals, he continued to suffer from injuries, and they were all those injuries that were easy to heal and difficult to recover. Can find the omnipotent state of the finals.

No, before this game, there was news that his shoulder muscles were sore, probably because of an old injury. No one doubted that the Heat would release false news to make the Sonics underestimate the enemy. It is necessary, and the Heat still have confidence in a team like the Sonics.

The current Heat team, without James Posey, went to the Celtics to seek his own dream of a championship. In addition to him, like Wade, O'Neal, Mourning, Haslem, Jason Williams They are all still here, with more "Reaper" Smash Parker, Ricky Davis and "Penny" Hardaway.

For "Penny" Hardaway, Stephen had been obsessed with him for a while when he was thirteen or fourteen years old when he first came into contact with basketball. He liked his elegant and agile style of play and his flowing dribbling movements. But at that time, Stephen , Infatuation with everyone is a 3-minute heat, only Jordan has permanently left traces of memory in his heart.

But now seeing his former idol appearing on the court as an opponent, Stephen felt like a dream. At that time, Stephen could only watch him galloping on the court from the TV, and he was looking forward to when he would be able to see it with his own eyes. I am satisfied with the real game, and I never thought about becoming a professional player.

At that time, the Hornets were still in Charlotte, but there was no player in the Hornets lineup that Stephen liked. At the same time, the expensive ticket price of tens of dollars for a game was not affordable at home at that time. Stephen always wanted to watch a game with Washington Wizards or Philadelphia 76ers games, but they have not been able to achieve their wishes. Watching a real game has become Stephen's biggest dream. He never thought of being able to set foot on the professional arena.

In this game, Anfernee Hardaway played the shooting guard position, which happened to match Stephen, but the Heat arranged for Ricky Davis, who is better in body, to defend Stephen, who is also Stephen's old man. I'm an acquaintance. When he was in the Minnesota Timberwolves, Stephen was suspended for 35 games because of his retaliatory actions against Stephen. As soon as the two met, Ricky Davis snorted at Stephen.

However, Stephen didn't even look at him at all, as if he didn't exist. Indeed, with Stephen's current status, it is indeed a loss of Stephen's status to be the boss if he cares about Ricky Davis like a bereaved dog. , but Stephen did not respond, which does not mean that no one responded. Coupard immediately stood up and was about to speak when Stephen grabbed him.

"Play your ball well. Things like chickens and dogs are worthy of your attention. It's degrading your identity." Stephen said to Coupard in front of Ricky Davis. Ricky Davis His dark face suddenly turned black and purple, and the muscles on his face trembled angrily. Stephen's words like this were too hurtful, and it was too embarrassing for him.

Anyway, he is also the boss of the team. Even if he is now a hairless Phoenix, he can't be inferior to a chicken. Ricky Davis still thinks of himself quite high. When he came to the Heat, he thought it should be no matter what. The team's No. 35 man, although Stephen was banned for [-] games for the hands-on incident, he didn't fall behind. He also rested for half a season before recovering from his injury. He didn't intend to provoke him, after all, Stephen's combat effectiveness He had also experienced it before, so he just planned to hum a bit and let it go, thinking that Stephen would not give him any face.

He wanted to say a few words for show, but was swept away by Stephen and didn't say a word. Haslem hurried over to pull him away. Mourning is not on the field. He is the captain on the field. At the same time, he also knows, In front of Stephen, no matter whether he uses his hands or his mouth, he can't take advantage of it.

Except for the change of Anfernee Hardaway and Ricky Davis on the front line, the Heat have no changes in other positions. Coupard will undergo a real test in this game, although the current O'Neal is not as lethal as In the past, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still a powerful center in the league.

Compared with the Heat's lineup, the Sonics' lineup has less experience and more impact. In the field lineup, Wilcox, the oldest player on the Sonics team, is the youngest on the Heat team. Haslem is two years younger, but imagine the age gap between the two teams.

So at the beginning of the game, Stephen led his teammates to launch a fierce attack on the Heat's defense. Even in this state, the Heat's defense is better than that of the Sonics. When formulating the confrontation strategy before, Carlesimo pointed out that the key to victory in this game lies in speed.

Because no matter how rich their game experience is, they can't make up for their physical weaknesses, such as physical strength and speed. Stephen is deployed according to Carlesimo's arrangement, playing very fast both offensively and defensively. .

Anyway, for these young people on the Supersonic team, it is better for them to play faster. Playing that kind of slow basketball makes them feel uncomfortable, and it doesn’t matter even if they are tired from running. In the lineup, apart from Robert Horry and Kurt Thomas, no one is old.

After running back and forth for a few rounds, although the Sonics did not take the lead because of this, it can be seen that the Heat obviously can't keep up with this rhythm, especially O'Neal, who lost his previous speed early on when he was young, and like him Such a tall and heavy man will inevitably suffer injuries to his legs and feet.

Stephen rushed in first and disturbed the Heat's inside line, then suddenly went out, but the ball in his hand was thrown backwards, and passed to Coupard who was running over, and O'Neal followed him. Behind, a few steps away from him, after receiving the ball, Coupard rushed forward holding the ball directly.

Seeing his posture, Anfernee Hardaway, who was originally standing under the basket, dodged directly. Looking at his body shape, his speed and sprinting power, not to mention the injury-ridden present, even when he was intact, he did not Dare to stand in the front, and for one game, one score, it is not worth the risk of injury.

There was no one under the basket, and the only thing that could stop Coupard was the basket, but today the basket was obviously relatively neutral. With a roar, Coupard jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket, and the basket was just After moaning twice, he half-pushed and half-finished.

The Heat started to attack, Anfernee Hardaway and Ricky Davis made a screen, blocked Durant and then turned around to block Stephen, but his footsteps were obviously a bit slow, and Stephen moved laterally to block again. In front of Ricky Davis.

Ricky Davis dodged to the side, trying to avoid Stephen's defense, but when he stopped, Stephen didn't seem to move at all, still standing in front of him in the same posture, Ricky Davis Stephen made a fake move to break forward, and then took a step back. Before he could make a move, Stephen came in front of him again.

Just when Ricky Davis was thinking hard about how to get rid of Stephen's defense, Stephen suddenly stepped back, more than half a meter away. Ricky Davis didn't know Stephen's intention, so he froze for a moment, suddenly looked Until Stephen made a hand gesture to him.

Ricky Davis was taken aback by Stephen's actions, and he didn't understand what Stephen meant, but when he saw Stephen even put his hands behind his back, he immediately understood what Stephen meant. cast it.

Ricky Davis was furious immediately, and his anger was like pouring kerosene on him. Isn't this a great contempt for himself? He didn't even defend himself, and even encouraged himself to shoot. This is too inappropriate for himself. What happened, if Ricky Davis didn't consider Stephen's combat power far beyond his own, he wanted to use Stephen's face as a basket and throw the ball over, which would be too irritating.

Ricky Davis hesitated for a moment. If it wasn't during the game, he would have the urge to put the ball on the ground and turn his head away. If it comes out, I must throw the ball in and let him regret it.

Ricky Davis took a glance, and then used his most confident shooting posture to throw the ball towards the basket, but the more he did this, the more the ball opposed him, hitting the outer edge of the basket and bouncing off When he came back, he was caught by Stephen with a wave, and then he looked at him with a playful look, made a gesture of preparing to hand the ball to himself, then took it back, and left from his side with the ball.

Ricky Davis looked at his hands, and then at the basket. He couldn't make a shot like this. Could it be that he is really not suitable for playing basketball anymore, or that as long as he faces this guy, he will shoot. do not enter.
