The inside lineup composed of Coupard and Wilcox has certain advantages compared with the Nets, whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, especially Coupard. One of the representatives of the insiders is comparable to an unknown person like Josh Boone.

But in today's game, such an advantage cannot be brought into play. The Nets do not fight the Sonics on the inside at all. The side has no tradition of relying heavily on inside offense.

Especially when Stephen was not around, the Sonics' offense was chaotic and disorganized. Anyone who got the ball wanted to shoot. With most of the lineup, this chaos does not mean that it can be reversed in half a season.

The tactics are not formed, the coach has no authority, when Stephen is on the court, it is with Stephen as the core, no one dares to defy this, but when Stephen is not on the court, it depends on the players' self-consciousness, the players in the regular rotation lineup Fortunately for the players, those players who seldom play only focus on their own shots when they come up, so the inside will naturally suffer a lot.

But in this attack, Stephen was determined to open from the inside, so after getting the ball, he passed it to Coupard. Coupard's fat and powerful butt arched Josh Boone. One side, and then with a push of both feet, his 250-pound body soared into the sky, his arms swung open, and he smashed the ball into the basket like a blacksmith hammering a hammer.

When the Nets attacked again, after Kidd's scheduling, the ball came to Richard Jefferson's hands again, almost causing another goal, but Stephen suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way forward. It was Stephen who predicted it in advance, let Vince Carter go, and stopped Richard Jefferson's must-go goal.

Stephen signaled Durant to defend Vince Carter. During this period of time, the Nets always played on Richard Jefferson's side. Let's change positions to see the effect, although Vince Carter is more threatening in comparison. , but in terms of cooperation, the cooperation between Richard Jefferson and Kidd is better.

After switching over, it really stopped the Nets' offense for a short time. After Durant switched to Vince Carter's side, Kidd also passed more passes to Vince Carter. Durant's defense can't be counted It was successful, but Carter's touch was not very good, and he failed to make three consecutive shots.

During this period of time, Stephen assisted Coupard and scored two points, but the assist to Wilcox turned into a free throw, so there was no assist by Stephen. Due to most of the time in the first half, Stephen's data is comprehensively behind usual.

But Stephen is not in a hurry, he has never been worried about his own data, it is those data analysts and experts who seem to study it, as for himself, he does not need to think about those, just play according to his own way in the game. Do your best to win, regardless of the data.

Stephen defended against Durant and was fouled by Vince Carter, but Carter's hand feeling was not good, and even the hand feel of free throws was also bad. The first free throw was directly missed, and the second free throw still jumped several times. Just fell into the basket.

But then Stephen made a shot against Vince Carter's defense one step inside the three-point line. After this two-point hit, the gap between the two teams has been narrowed to 1 points. Looking at the end of the third quarter It's been less than a minute and Frank hasn't called the timeout.

Who knew that in less than 1 minute, Stephen assisted Durant to make a three-pointer, then completed a steal in the hands of Richard Jefferson, came back and shot a quick three-pointer, and returned it to the Nets. The team has four seconds of shot clock left.

In the end, Frank called a timeout, because otherwise, he had to serve from the bottom line. Although Kidd controlled the ball and advanced fast enough, the four-second attack time was still a bit rushed. two seconds.

If I had known that this timeout still had to be called, it would have been better to call it early in the morning. Now the point difference has been narrowed to nine points. In more than half a quarter, the Sonics completed an [-]-point overtake, including Stephen's four three-pointers played a key factor.

From leading by a big score to being pulled closer to less than [-] points, the ups and downs of the game made the Nets fans addicted, but the Continental Airlines Center Stadium was much quieter than usual, and the fans have not yet recovered from the surprise. Come here, still looking at the score can not believe it.

The rest time passed quickly, and the two sides returned to the court with the original lineup. As soon as he came on the court, Jason Kidd made a shot from outside the three-point line. Kidd's characteristics are like this. His offense is not too stable, and his shooting is extremely Unstable, but his three-pointers, especially when the touch comes up at certain times, the three-pointers are very accurate.

However, Stephen made a two-pointer and brought the score closer. Kidd passed the ball to Vince Carter. Carter still missed the shot, but Stephen's shot also fell behind, and the score remained at [-] points. , and then both sides missed once again.

At this time, Stephen once again handed the ball to Coupard on the inside. After receiving the ball, Coupard hit Josh Boone with his back. The old and powerful Josh Boone was Coupard's opponent. After a while, Josh Boone arched and lost his defensive position. Sean Williams hurried over to defend, but it was too late, so he had to use a foul to prevent Coupard's dunk.

Coupard's free throws weren't too good either, barely more than [-]%. After only one of the two free throws was made, the gap between the two sides reached nine points again. Kidd immediately recovered his face from Watson and earned two. However, the signature air-kiss free throw did not allow him to make all of his free throws. He also only made one of two free throws, and the point difference returned to ten.

The fans cheered again. If this continues, the chances of the Nets winning will be greater. They are leading the way, so they are naturally not afraid of a stalemate, but the Supersonics cannot allow this situation to continue. Carlesimo called After a timeout, he originally planned to replace Delonte West, but thinking about Delonte West's body, Kidd would only be at a disadvantage. Just when he was hesitating, Stephen took the initiative to speak: " Coach, let me guard him."

"You?" Carlesimo looked up at him, wanting to ask what about Carter or Richard Jefferson?After thinking about it, you can't ask this sentence, you are the head coach, and Stephen's meaning is only to defend Kidd yourself, you can do the rest as you see fit.

Carlesimo immediately replaced Watson with Wilkins, so that Stephen would appear in the No. [-] position. This is also a position that Stephen rarely plays, but the Cavaliers can use it. LeBron James is coming to play point guard, so what can Stephen not do.

As soon as such a lineup came on the court, there was a sound of surprise immediately. Stephen really rarely appeared in this position, so no one expected the Sonics to change like this. When Kidd stood in front of Stephen, he still had a look on his face. I can't believe it.

Stephen's ball-handling skills are not very good, but there is no problem in dealing with ordinary games. After halftime, he immediately put on an offensive posture and forced Kidd. Don't look at how Kidd bullied Watson just now. It's cool, it's not going to work against Stephen, Stephen pushed him aside at once, and then easily shot and hit.

When it came time to defend Kidd, Stephen's defense also made Kidd very uncomfortable. His body has an advantage over any point guard, but it doesn't represent Stephen and LeBron James. Not very rich. Most of the time, the best one-handed breakthrough is relying on the advantage of physical confrontation, but it is not so easy to face Stephen, but he is one of the best point guards in history. It's more about his passing than his offense, so he gets the ball out very quickly.

It's just that most of his teammates have used up their touch in the previous game. Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter each took one shot, but they missed the shot. Stephen once again forcibly broke through the base De succeeded, scoring two points with an easy one-handed layup.

The ten-point gap turned into six points in a blink of an eye, and there was still plenty of time for the game. After Frank called a timeout, he replaced Sean Williams with Nakba. This substitution had an immediate effect , Nakba hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, widening the point difference to nine points again.

However, Stephen was relentless at the critical moment, and once again used his physical advantage to forcefully shoot Kidd, causing Kidd to foul while the ball flew into the basket. After completing the three-pointer, the point difference was narrowed to six points , and then the two teams entered a stalemate.

With 20:[-] left in the game, on a screen, just as Kidd hands the ball to Richard Jefferson, Steph goes around the other side and reaches out for the steal from Richard Jefferson , and then scored a fast break dunk, narrowing the point difference to only two points.

After Kidd missed a shot, the rebound was grabbed by Stephen. This was also his tenth rebound in the game, and then he assisted Wilkins to hit a three-pointer, overtaking the score and also getting his own first. Ten assists, plus his 36 points, was another super luxurious triple-double, and he got it against the active "triple-double king" of the league.

At the same time, Stephen still has five steals and two blocks. You must know that he played less than 10 minutes, and he was able to obtain such luxurious statistics. After losing this game, Stephen only raised his own score to 38 points. Although it is less than his season average, his efficient performance in this big reversal proves that his magic is still there.
