Stephen scratched his head, feeling that this invitation letter was sent to him for no reason. He had never had any contact with these inviting organizations, so he sent himself an invitation letter for no reason, and the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco never participated. Judging from it, it also has a certain official background.

China has set up a total of one embassy and five consulates in the United States. The Consulate General in San Francisco is responsible for the affairs of the North Pacific region. The Consulate General of Los Angeles is responsible for the affairs of the South Pacific region. Consulate General.

But no matter which consulate general has ever dealt with Stephen, and generally this level of banquets are more formal, and what Stephen dislikes the most is to dress well and attend any banquet with a serious face and smile, but he is also very I clearly know that now that I am older and have entered society, I cannot follow my own preferences.

Things that should be done by yourself, you have to do it yourself, whether you like it or not, there will only be more and more things like this in the future, and you can't always rely on others to deal with it, Stephen accepted the invitation letter, thank you Bolas Tove then drove home. There was still a game to play in the evening, and Stephen was still planning to take a good rest in the afternoon.

Thanks to the 69 points in a single game in the last game, Stephen once again increased his scoring average to 41 points. At this time, some people are already betting on whether Stephen can still maintain an average score of more than 40 points per game by the end of the season and break the dust of the league. [-]+ years of records.

Stephen naturally wanted to accomplish such a feat, but in the last few games, Stephen felt more and more embarrassed, because he had taken too many shots. Stephen knew that no one wanted to take shots. If people dare to oppose it openly, they will also breed dissatisfaction secretly.

Including the current conflict between Wilkins and Ridnor within the team, it is actually related to the possession of the ball, because the possession of the ball is too concentrated on Stephen alone, and no one else can get enough possession of the ball. With the small number of ball rights, the competition is naturally very fierce.

Stephen wants to score, but he also wants to be more comprehensive. He assists his teammates more, so as not to be scolded as a "lonely husband" all the time, but sometimes he passes the ball to his teammates, but they can't make it. It also made Stephen very depressed.

So every time he passed the ball, Stephen had to struggle a bit, whether it would be better if he played by himself. When it came to the Supersonics, Stephen felt the feeling of Iverson back then. The possibility of scoring a shot is high, but sometimes even if it's just pretending, you have to do it.

Stephen intends to consult Carlesimo for his opinion on this matter. Whether he should take more shots or pass more is better for the team. If he keeps playing like this, will the team be dissatisfied with too many people? Facing the current situation, what improvements do I still need to make?

In fact, what Stephen wants to ask the most is Vitch or Larry Bird. In Stephen's feeling, Vitch is a master in basketball. There is nothing he doesn't understand, and Larry Bird is The legendary wise man is always able to put forward his own unique insights.

But now the two of them belong to the enemy, and I go to ask them for advice. Maybe they will not deliberately deceive themselves, but it is still very possible to use some tricks to bring themselves or the team into the ditch. Take Stephen against ** As far as Vicki knew, he was not someone who stuck to any moral code.

As for Larry Bird, Stephen doesn't know much about it, but this makes people even more uneasy, so the only person Stephen can ask for advice with confidence is Carlesimo, who knows that Stephen called to talk about his entanglement , in exchange for a curse from Carlesimo.

"I've only heard of players complaining that they don't take enough shots. I've never heard of them complaining about too many shots. It's good for you. You feel embarrassed when you take more shots. You don't look at your shooting percentage better than your teammates. That's not a lot higher, what's so embarrassing, you kid really want to piss me off, the team is thriving now, and the performance is getting better and better, which shows that our current game strategy is correct, the offensive firepower platoon Ranked fourth in the league, this shows that the current offensive mode centered on you is effective. What are you still hesitating about? When the team has problems, you will really piss me off. Prepare for tonight's game , this is the last match of this year, if you give me a good fight, see how I deal with you."

After finishing speaking, Carlesimo hung up the phone, which frightened Stephen a lot. He thought to himself what happened to Coach Carlesimo today and why he was so angry. There was a quarrel, and I just asked casually, and didn't say that I really want to reduce the number of shots. Is there any need to be so angry?

But he didn't know that after Carlesimo hung up the phone, he was snickering over there. He was indeed a little angry. He said that the team is in a good situation now, and there is no problem. He is entangled or something, and his teammates have opinions. If you have an opinion, you can ask them to raise it, and you don't need to look at what kind of people they are. If you are really capable, you won't be unable to type it now.

In the eyes of Carlesimo, apart from Stephen, Durant is the only one worthy of training in the team, and only Wilkins, Coupard, Wilcox, Kurt Thomas, Watson and these people, and these people are already in the main lineup, what else can be wrong.

And among these few people, there is no one who can threaten Stephen at all, so why should they complain? Competitive sports is a world that respects strength. If you don’t have this ability, don’t make irresponsible remarks. Stephen’s entanglement is absolutely nothing. Unnecessary, the reason why Carlesimo used this method to teach Stephen was because he had just placed a book that was said to be the theoretical basis used by Phil Jackson to teach, introducing a mysterious oriental religious culture, called " Talking about Zen in Zen", Carlesimo just saw the part of "drinking in the face" and thought it made sense, so he learned to use this method to save Stephen. It seems to be very effective. Carlesimo took a sip of his wife Norlich just learned how to make black tea, and looked at it with relish.

That night, the Sonics ushered in a challenge from the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Key Arena. As a team that lost its leading star at the same time during the summer offseason, the two teams presented two completely different status quo. It is reasonable to say that the Supersonics lost the second leader as well as the first leader, and did not get any useful players in the trade, and the Timberwolves got at least one Al Jefferson, but since the beginning of the season, the Supersonics The record in the Western Conference is among the top three, but the Timberwolves are about to fall to the last place in the Western Conference.

Why doesn't this make the fans of Minneapolis feel depressed, everyone is clearly walking the same path, why do you go up and we go downhill, but the reality is like this, the Sonics just do A deal was made, Stephen was traded from the Spurs, and such a change occurred. Why didn't the Timberwolves fans envy and hate it.

From the very beginning of the game, the Supersonics entered the rhythm that the Supersonics were used to. The continuous offensive against the Timberwolves could only parry and had no power to fight back. In the first quarter, they scored a score of 31 to [-]. The Supersonics were like It took a twelve-point lead without any effort.

In the second quarter, although Stephen left the court early to rest, the Supersonics, led by Wilkins and Durant, have maintained an advantage of more than [-] points. Seeing that the first half is coming to an end , Who knew that the situation on the field suddenly changed suddenly.

Antoine Walker, who was traded from the Heat to the Timberwolves, and Rashad McCants, who was the same year as Stephen, suddenly began to make convulsive consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line. They scored four three-pointers, but the Sonics were stunned by the opponent's offensive. They couldn't even fight back, and only relied on Wilcox's mid-range shots to score two points.

Carlesimo was not prepared to deal with it at all. He had already let his mind rest, and planned to do nothing if there was no change in the second half and let the players play on it. The situation changed so suddenly.

Carlesimo was about to stand up and make adjustments in a panic, when he suddenly thought of the book he was reading recently, and at the same time he was learning Phil Jackson's coaching philosophy, thinking of how Phil Jackson would deal with this situation , Carlesimo immediately sat firmly, raised his head to look at the field, and then half-closed his eyes, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

The players on the field were waiting for the coach's instructions, but they saw that they had dozed off. Now the players didn't know what to do. The Timberwolves immediately seized the chaotic opportunity of the Sonics and played a small high of 56-46 Chao, by the end of the first half, it happened to overtake the Sonics by [-] to [-].

This kind of game is very incomprehensible. Just now the team was leading by a big score, and just went to pick up a cup of coffee, and the team fell behind. Many fans immediately clamored. They were going to bring the team the joy of leading. I was in the mood to enjoy the program during the intermission, but now the team suddenly fell behind, giving people a disgusting feeling of eating flies.

During the break in the locker room, Carlesimo still did not arrange tactics and boost morale as before. Instead, he just sat next to Stephen and asked Stephen if he had the confidence to turn the game around. Stephen didn’t know that Carlesimo Where does Mo's change come from, but this does not affect his confidence. Antoine Walker and Rashad McCants are both his own defeats, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

At the beginning of the second half, all the starters of the Sonics returned to the court. As soon as the game started, Stephen forced a two-plus-one on Rashad McCants, and then blocked Al Jefferson's shot. The offense caused a foul by Corey Brewer, and at the same time scored the ball. After the extra penalty was scored, in just 29 seconds, Stephen scored six points, chasing the score to only 56 to 52.

Stephen's strong performance did not end here. As soon as the Timberwolves served, Stephen completed a steal in the hands of Telfair, and hit the basket directly outside the three-point line, chasing the score to only one point. At this time, Al Jefferson made another mid-range shot and scored two points, widening the gap to three points, but Stephen then assisted Watson to make a three-pointer.

After tying the score, under the leadership of Stephen, the Supersonics never gave the Timberwolves any chance. In the third quarter, the score ratio of the two sides in a single quarter was 31 to [-]. The Supersonics made a net profit of [-] points, which not only equalized the score , And once again led the Timberwolves.

In less than 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, Stephen used six points and two assists to widen the gap to 43 points. At the same time, Stephen also scored [-] points in this field. It can be seen that the Timberwolves have begun to replace the main players , Carlesimo also replaced Stephen and others. In this way, the Sonics easily won the game [-] to [-], and won the last victory of the year. fifth straight win.
