Jason Smith picked up his fourth personal foul late in the first quarter before being traded off by Cheeks for a guy named Kelvin Booth who never listened As I said, it looked like he came here temporarily to block the hole of the gun. No, Stephen just slid around the basket with the ball, and he wanted to foul Stephen.

At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics trailed their opponents by [-] points, and Stephen only scored [-] points. Carlesimo kept frowning, thinking about how to break the opponent's defense and liberate Stephen's offensive ability. For a long time, but there is nothing to do.

At this time, someone else must open up, let the opponent's strategy of defending Stephen alone go bankrupt, and then Stephen will be able to play, but who can stand up at this time?Carlesimo looked at the players he relied on, Durant, Watson, Ridnour, he looked at everyone, and Carlesimo didn't find anyone he could count on at this time .

It can be seen from their eyes that some look indifferent, some are wandering, and some are eager to try, but they do not have much confidence. Carlesimo sighed in his heart, some It's not that I want to rely on Stephen, but that there is really no one to rely on except Stephen.

It's not that I want to be the second top coach in the league, the first is Mike Brown, but I have such a capable player, I don't need to worry too much, why don't I use it, Carlesimo looked at it The players under him thought about the situation on the field again, and when they got angry, they came up with an idea.

"Stephen, get off the field and take a break first. The opponent's defense is aimed at you. I'll see how they will change after you leave the field." Carlesimo actually thought of such an idea, and replaced Stephen. How does the other party solve this problem.

As for the lack of offense after replacing Stephen, Carlesimo can no longer think about it. Anyway, keeping Stephen on the court is just a free throw machine. Let's see if there are any new changes after the substitution. As for The trailing score, played in one quarter of four games, is no big deal.

Stephen, along with Durant, Watson, and Wilcox, all went off the court, and Coupard, who left the field early, equaled to the entire starting lineup being replaced, replaced by Kurt Thomas, Szer Biak, Wilkins, Ridnor.

The supersonic team's substitution really made the 76ers not expect that, in fact, the situation of the supersonic team is not so bad. Although it is said that they are behind now, Stephen's personal score is not high, and they are all free throws, but you must know What's more, the prerequisites for free throws are all fouls, and the foul price paid by the 76ers is also very huge.

In Cheeks' view, the Sonics should leave Stephen on the field at this time, continue to play hard, and continue to make fouls by the players of the 76ers, because after all, there are a lot of players, especially the main players, who have too many fouls. Naturally, he was tied up.

But the Supersonics did not adopt such a method, and in his consideration, a player like Stephen should be full of strength and disobedience, and with his status as a team, he is even worse than Iverson in the team before. Worse than that, he shouldn't say that the coach will let him go off the field, and he will definitely stay on the field. From his understanding, Carlesimo can be said to be obedient to Stephen. How could he replace Stephen? , and how could Stephen be willing.

He didn't know that there was still a difference between Stephen and Iverson's personalities. He was not so personal, nor was he so rebellious. But he is not overbearing, and Stephen still respects Carlesimo very much.

After Carlesi asked Stephen to leave the field, Stephen did not rest, but observed the situation on the court while thinking about how to break this defense. Not prepared to deal with it.

Seeing that Stephen was not on the court, the 76ers hurriedly replaced Iguodala, letting him take advantage of this time to take a good rest, and Iguodala's status in the 76ers, although not the team's main attacker, but But it was the team's booster. Without him, the ball stopped running immediately.

The Supersonic players who had just entered the field took this opportunity and caught them off guard. They scored three consecutive offenses and brought the score back to five points. Not to mention the chaotic offense of the 76ers, the defense was even more at a loss. They didn't know what to do. Who is the focus, but the Sonics lineup has no focus at all.

Ridnor made a three-pointer, Wilkins broke through to the basket and scored two points for a layup, Kurt Thomas hit a mid-range shot, the shots are so scattered, naturally there is no defense focus, Cheeks I don't know how to do it myself.

Fortunately, the supersonic team's defense is not strong enough, so it can't cause a big obstacle to the 76ers' offense. After they get used to it, they are on the right track again, and their offense is not systematic. , relying solely on a single fight or small-scale cooperation, it could not last long, and soon the 76ers led by more than 76 points, but with their barely maintained, the [-]ers did not let the [-]ers open the score.

Halfway through the second quarter, Carlesimo asked Stephen if he wanted to play. After watching this half of the quarter, Stephen had actually made a decision, but in this half of the quarter, and his teammates could barely maintain it, now let them Substituting them is also a blow to their positivity. It is better to let them play for a while longer. As long as the point difference does not continue to widen, there is no problem with a difference of more than ten points in halftime, Stephen Just shook his head, not going to play.

Since Stephen didn't plan to play, Carlesimo didn't replace the other main players, but Szczerbiak twisted his ankle. Although there was nothing serious, Carlesimo still replaced him. Replaced by Durant.

The 76ers managed to widen the point difference to [-] points. Durant made a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and then completed a steal from Thaddeus Young. After returning, he made a rare breakthrough Three defensive dunks.

In just 2 minutes, Durant relied on his own scoring to compete with the 76ers. At most, he narrowed the score to only 44 points. However, as the opponent's defense against him strengthened, his performance It also began to be contained. At the end of the first half, the Sonics trailed their opponents by 57 points [-] to [-].

Looking at Stephen, who was full of energy and energy, Cheeks felt something was wrong. Stephen didn't play in the entire second quarter, and it seemed that he planned to play the entire second half. , The 76ers failed to widen the point difference, which is really the biggest mistake.
