Unreconciled, Stephen has been persevering and working hard, but even if he tried his best, he still couldn't resist the offensive of the Bulls team, and his teammates around him couldn't provide him with the necessary help, but even so, Stephen still Relying on his super personal ability, he constantly hits the opponent's basket so that the Bulls will not widen the point difference.

But this style of play is very tiring, and there is also the risk of injury. No, Stephen just rushed to the basket, and Ben Wallace elbowed him hard on the back, knocking Stephen over. Well, Ben Wallace's strength is not a joke, Stephen felt as if his back was broken, he lost all consciousness, and he couldn't get up from lying there.

After spending a lot of time in the meeting, Stephen got up from the ground. At this time, the team doctor had already run over. After checking, it was not too serious. It was just a minor injury. After spraying Stephen with a painkiller cold mist, Stephen stood at the free throw line , Start free throws.

After Stephen got the ball, he patted it twice on the ground. He didn't feel anything unusual, but when Stephen raised his hand and was about to throw the ball to the basket, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing pain from his back, and the free throw went unnoticed. There it was, and when Stephen took the second free throw, the pain was gone again.

This is Ben Wallace's sixth foul of the game, so when Stephen made a free throw, Ben Wallace had already left the field. After Stephen finished the free throw, he saw Szczerbiak standing on the field. Going up, waiting for himself to leave the field, Stephen looked at the game, and there were more than 4 minutes left, but the score was only nine points behind, and it was quite possible to recover, why did the coach let himself off the field?

But the head coach replaced him, and he had to be unwilling. After the end, Stephen immediately asked Carlesimo: "Head coach, why did you replace me? We still have hope."

"Stephen, this is just a game, and don't you see that you are already injured? What you need now is rest." Carlesimo didn't want Stephen to take risks. When Stephen was lying there and couldn't get up, his His heart was already in his throat, for fear that Stephen would be seriously injured.

If the team can lose anyone now, but Stephen is the one who cannot be lost. If he loses him, he will not only lose his defense against the opponent's main outside line, but also lose his scoring average of nearly [-] points per game. What he will lose is the entire Sonic team's current system.

So Carlesimo immediately replaced Stephen with Szczerbiak. A loss is nothing, and Carlesimo had other ideas about this game. It is good to win, but it is okay to lose What a pity, it happened to be his own plan.

What he was worried about was that Stephen refused to accept being replaced. Fortunately, Stephen was not so rebellious. Even if he saw Carlesimo's basic obedience to himself, Stephen couldn't refute his opinion. So Stephen looked at Carlesimo, and was about to agree, but suddenly he saw Carlesimo winking at himself.

Could it be that he has other ideas? Stephen became suspicious, and was about to turn around and sit down, but just in time to see Ridnor and Wilkins sitting there, ignoring each other like a grudge, Stephen snorted coldly Hey, if it wasn't for the two of them not coping, the team would not have lost this game, and Stephen would naturally not give them two good looks.

After Stephen left the field, the Sonics' will to resist dropped several levels at once, and the score difference immediately began to expand. By the end of the game, it was already nearly 120 points difference, and the Bulls won [-] three points, while the Sonics scored only [-] points.

Stephen scored 42 points, eight rebounds, six assists, four steals, two blocks, and four turnovers. Except for him and Wilkins, no one in the Sonics scored [-] points. Durant, who took [-] shots in a game but only scored [-], scored only [-] points.

On the Bulls side, Ben Gordon scored 27 points, Luol Deng scored 23 points, Joe Smith scored [-] points, and Kirk Hinrich scored [-] points. The Bulls players who played off the field all scored points, and the Bulls can really say that the whole team worked hard.

So the Supersonics' loss in this game is not too unjust. It can also be seen from the high scores of the Bulls that the Supersonics' winning streak was immediately suspended by the Bulls, but everyone is more interested in the Supersonics. The civil unrest that the Sonics exposed during the game.

However, the Sonics didn't give them a chance to ask questions. As soon as the game ended, the entire Sonics team packed their bags, left Chicago by plane, and flew to the location of their next opponent, which is also the largest and most luxurious city in the United States. New York.

This was a back-to-back schedule, and as it was approaching late at night, most of the players were drowsy, and only Stephen sat beside Carlesimo, who was mainly invited by Carlesimo to explain his thoughts to Stephen.

This is what he thought, instead of calling the two of them down to reprimand them at the time of the game, the two of them may not be convinced of his coach. Of course, they will definitely not be as mad as Sprewell, but once bitten by a snake Carlesimo, who had been afraid of well ropes for ten years, didn't want to take that risk.

If the two of them show obvious disobedience to their own reprimands, although Presti is there, there is no need to worry about the team's discipline, but since they do not have much authority, no one will listen to them. It is better to let them give the ball The consequences caused by the team are more serious, and I can punish them justifiably, and when I get to the bottom, I don't have to worry about them not listening.

Stephen doesn't understand, but he is also a head coach, and he may have his own ideas. As for the problem that Carlesimo said that the two of them have no authority in the team, Stephen has no feeling, but Carlesimo may It is a problem of ability, or it may be the reason of lack of personality charm. In short, it is a bit unrespectable, even Stephen is no exception.

When asked about the punishment measures to be taken against Ridnour and Wilkins, Carlesimo told Stephen that he had communicated with Presti and that Ridnour would be suspended from the game by means of an internal suspension. Three games of punishment, Wilkins was suspended for one game.

Of course, it is the same as the punishment of the Spurs on Stephen. There is no formal suspension, so that the player's salary will not be deducted, and at the same time, it will not be announced to the public. It will just let the team doctor make up a random reason to put them on the injured list. Enough punishment.

When the plane landed on the ground in New York City, Carlesimo had already announced the decision of punishment to the two of them in private. Ridnor was surprised at the team's punishment at first, but when Carlesimo After Mo's announcement, Ridnour got up and left without objecting, nor did he apologize or repent for his mistake.

Looking at his appearance, Carlesimo felt that it was a very wise behavior for him not to punish him on the court, otherwise he might not be able to step down. Now, Carlesimo is announcing on behalf of the team Those who punished him, no matter how unconvinced he was, did not dare to say anything, and this achieved Carlesimo's goal.

As for the punishment of Wilkins, Wilkins just felt that he was in a panic and desperately explained to Carlesimo that Carlesimo didn't have any bad opinions about him. He played hard and trained well. Su, as for the dispute with Ridnour, most of the responsibility should be placed on Ridnor, but in order to maintain the balance of performance, he had to be punished as well.

Now that it has been announced, it is naturally impossible to withdraw the decision to punish him. At the same time, if it is withdrawn, wouldn't Ridnour feel more unfair and resentful, so Carlesimo persuaded him more? After saying a few words to Wilkins, Wilkins could only accept it in the end.

After resting for one night, in the afternoon of the same day, the Sonics announced that due to injuries, Ridnour would miss the game for a week. Of course, basically every athlete will have some Injury, it is not easy to find the reason for the injury, and even the complete medical record can be provided by the team doctor.

Before the start of the game, the Sonics announced that due to physical reasons, Wilkins may not be able to play tonight's game. At this time, some people naturally asked if it was the reason for last night's game, but the Sonics insisted. Denial, just because of injury, no other reason.

No one will believe this superficial reason, but with medical records as proof, as long as the player himself does not say anything, others will only guess, and the player will naturally not admit it, because punishment is not something glorious , Whenever it is said, it is a stain.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be announced, it’s just that they are not allowed to play at that time, but Wilkins and Ridnour are important substitutes for the team, and they will not miss the game under normal circumstances, so they must be treated with injuries. Illness as the reason, otherwise the media will ask more questions about the reason.

The sudden loss of two major substitutes, coupled with yesterday's defeat, and the brutal back-to-back away game schedule, makes people extremely pessimistic about the Supersonics' game tonight. Under the leadership, it has entered the lead, and it is still a lead of more than [-] points, which is very surprising. If it weren't for Jamal Crawford's convulsive three-pointer, the Sonics would lead even more.
