Chapter 497 3 Pairs

In the second quarter, after replacing the bench lineup, led by Stephen, the Supersonic team completed the overtake again, but they still couldn't get rid of the opponent. The score gap was always within five points. Of course, the Supersonic team could not widen the gap. , But the Wizards were also unable to overtake the score.

In the second half of the second quarter, seeing that the situation of the game was relatively stable, Carlesimo replaced Stephen. When Stephen was off the field, the Wizards replaced Nick Young at the same time. However, former teammates on the same team just looked at each other with a smile and became rivals.

I thought the game would go on like this, but no one expected that Nick Young, who had just played, kept breaking through, laying up, and shooting as if he had taken medicine. Wilkins was in front of him, clumsy like a head Like the Bear, especially his shot, which is quick and varied.

No one thought that a rookie player who came off the bench would be able to overtake the score, and the Wizards did not ignore him because he was a rookie. The ball kept passing to him, although he did not pass again Pass.

Although Nick Young only scored [-] points in this half quarter, he drove the team's offense, and the Sonics did not find their own offensive direction after Stephen left the field, playing in chaos , It wasn't until Ridnor played a little better in the end that the situation stabilized.

However, the team still didn't take it too seriously. What are you afraid of? It wasn't once or twice that someone took the lead in the first half. In the end, it wasn't just us who won. With Stephen around, everyone has great respect for Stephen. Confidence, even Stephen himself didn't take it too seriously.

And the opponent didn't lead too much, didn't they? Just like that, they still passed the intermission in an atmosphere of relaxing and underestimating the enemy. In the second half, Stephen returned to the field with all the starters. A penalty equalized the score, but Daniels made a three-pointer to open the score again.

Stephen's breakthrough knocked Jamison to the ground, but the referee gave Stephen an offensive foul. Stephen spread his hands and shrugged. He had no choice but to give the ball to his opponent. Jamison hit the basket and caused a threat Cox's foul, the score was stretched to six points.

The game passed 4 minutes in a calm manner, and the two sides have been chasing each other to score, especially Jamison. His speed and agility made Wilcox very difficult to defend. This is the case with players of the "three, no, four" type. Although they are at a disadvantage on the defensive end, they can also cause huge troubles to opponents on the offensive end.

If you use inside players to defend him, your footwork and speed can't keep up. If you use outside players to defend, you will lose strength and height. Carlesimo had to replace Wilcox and Kurt Thomas to defend Jia Mison, it works a little better.

Stephen just made a shot from outside the three-point line. When he came back to defend Butler, he was called a defensive foul by the referee. Since the number of fouls was less than the number of free throws, the Wizards continued to serve. Called a foul on Stephen.

Now Stephen couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and went to the referee to argue, but the referee didn't even wait for him to get close, and backed away while giving him a technical foul, Stephen wanted to get closer, He was stopped by his teammates, and the coach over there also stood in front of the referee, blocking the referee's sight, because if Stephen passed by again, he would probably suffer a technical foul.

Taking advantage of the opponent's free throw, the Sonics replaced Stephen. Carlesimo sat aside and began to persuade Stephen to adapt to the referee's penalty scale and not to provoke the authority, especially after the referee has made a penalty. Go argue with the referee.

Stephen nodded and said yes. It is true that the referee is the biggest on the basketball court, and competing with the referee is the worst. But Stephen knew the truth, but it was not easy to swallow this tone. Seeing Stephen's state, Carlesimo did not dare to put Stephen back. If I change it, I can only hope that other players can work harder, so as not to be left behind by the opponent.

After Stephen left the court, Coupard fouled the Wizards players twice in a row and was replaced by Carlesimo. When he sat next to Stephen, Coupard secretly said to Stephen: "Boss, I did this for It’s only for you to vent your anger.”

Stephen turned his head and glared at him, ignoring this simple-minded guy. What is needed now is to stay on the field and make contributions to help the team win, not for gambling. One of the big advantages of the game is that you take the initiative to find a foul and end up. This is not helping yourself, but helping your opponent.

Coupard was off, and Carlesimo did not replace Robert Swift, but let Szczerbiak play, playing a major and a minor. This change had a miraculous effect. On the contrary, they got closer by a few points. By the end of the third quarter, the Sonics were only two points behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Carlesimo did not intend to replace Stephen immediately, but hoped that the lineup in the latter part of the third quarter would last for a few more minutes, but the very successful and effective lineup in the third quarter came to the fourth quarter. Unexpectedly, the opponent played a small climax of [-] to [-], and the point difference was immediately pulled to [-] points.

Carlesimo once again exposed his weakness, that is, he was not firm and decisive in commanding on the spot. Many times he knew what adjustments to make, but he didn't have much confidence in his own adjustments, so he hesitated and wanted to observe again Look, this is wasting time.

The substitution has to wait for a dead ball opportunity, but the official timeout has just passed, unless you call a timeout, otherwise you have to wait for the dead ball, Carlesimo doesn't want to waste the few timeouts, but if you can't change people, you can only watch helplessly The point difference is constantly being widened.

It was Kurt Thomas who had experience. Seeing that Stephen and others had already stood on the sidelines and could not wait for the opportunity of the dead ball, Antawn Jamison directly pulled him when he used the screen to get to the basket and was about to make a layup. Afterwards, although the opponent had to make two free throws, firstly, if the ball is not fouled, it must be scored. Secondly, Jamison's free throw is not very good. Only veteran players like Kurt Thomas noticed this detail.

Sure enough, Jamison made only one of two free throws, and the point difference was widened to [-] points. Taking this opportunity, all the starting players of the Sonics returned to the field, but Stephen took over from Watson at the midfield line. As soon as the ball passed the midfield line, Butler and Stevenson came over to double-team Stephen.

Stephen raised his hand and made a pass. Butler hesitated immediately. Stephen received the ball, pressed his shoulders, accelerated, and got between the two. Butler still wanted to fight with Stevenson. Two people had a double ghost knocking on the door, but they were directly pushed aside by Stephen.

Jamison hurriedly moved over to defend, and at the same time Heywood also turned around. Stephen rushed towards the two without stopping, and when he got close to Jamison, he immediately dodged to the left and looked up. Jamison Immediately jumped up, Stephen withdrew his action again and continued to kill towards the basket.

When he was one step away from Heywood, Stephen lowered his head and raised his hand, but he paused in the middle. When Heywood jumped in the air, he realized that he had been caught by Stephen, but he could no longer adjust himself in the air. I can only watch Stephen wait until he bumps into him before throwing the ball in his hand.

Such an obvious foul, even if the referee wants to favor the home court, it is impossible for the referee to turn a blind eye to it. It is legal and reasonable to fake a foul. Who told you to be fooled, who told you to jump so early, it is a pity that the free throw that Stephen cheated but missed Missed, but this precious rebound was snatched by Coupard.

Just now the Wizards used four players to defend against Stephen. Except for the point guard Daniels who did not participate, the other four players participated in the defense. As a result, Stephen scored offensively and made them a foul. This time the ball As soon as it was in Stephen's hands, Butler and Daniels immediately double-teamed towards Stephen from left to right.

He beckoned Wilcox to cover himself. Although Butler was blocked, Jamison ushered in again. Jamison has advantages in speed and footwork for inside players, but against Stephen, This became a disadvantage. Stephen stopped, accelerated and turned around at the same time, and he was in front of the three-second zone, but Stevenson had already rushed over from the other side, and in front of him, Heywood was already eyeing him. In order to avenge the one arrow just now, Jamison was rushing over from the left side behind Stephen.

Stephen leaned forward, Heywood didn't dare to jump anymore at this time, but took a step forward to stick it, but Stephen then took a step back to make room, but he pushed the ball forward from Heywood's The file passed through and passed to Coupard. After receiving the ball, Coupard turned around and dunked with one hand and scored two points.

In a blink of an eye, the [-]-point advantage was only eight points left. The Wizards called a timeout and rearranged their tactics, especially the defense against Stephen. After the timeout came back, Caron Butler missed a shot and Stephen grabbed After getting off this rebound, I got my own rebounds to double digits, and then came back to the basket, jumped up and saw that I was about to layup, and suddenly passed the ball beyond the three-point line, Durant just stopped Footsteps, after catching the ball, he raised his hand and shot, without even making any adjustments, he threw the ball.

The goal also increased Stephen's assists to double digits. With more than five minutes left in the game, Stephen had already scored a triple-double, but his score was only 28 points, which was far lower than his own average score per game. But Stephen wasn't worried.

But Caron Butler came back and made a three-pointer, which opened the point difference to eight points again. After Watson missed a layup, Steven, who made zero three-pointers in the whole game, Sen made a shot from outside the three-point line, widening the point difference to eleven points.
