After a small three-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the Sonics fell to the fourth place in the West, while the Mavericks moved up one place. At this time, the situation in the West was very chaotic. The records of the previous teams were very close. From the Orleans Hornets to the sixth Phoenix Suns, there is only a difference of four and a half games.

The record of the Hornets is very good. The good thing is that their offense is very average. Under the distribution and scheduling of Chris Paul, the Hornets' shooters can play their biggest role. Their problem is that, They won all the games that should be won, but they also lost all the games that should be lost. In addition, Chris Paul's data is not too conspicuous, which is the main reason why he failed to get the best of the month and the best of the week.

However, due to the loss of the Sonics, and the fact that the league does not want this award to be monopolized by one player, and the Hornets have achieved four consecutive victories, Chris Paul averaged [-] points per game. The data of [-] assists and [-] steals won the best of the week from Stephen.

With the announcement of the second stage of the All-Star voting situation, the competition for the All-Star position is also in full swing. Stephen is only behind Allen Iverson by more than 6000 votes, which is very easy to surpass. In the game that night, Iverson scored 24 points with 43 of [-] shots and [-] of [-] free throws, which was also his highest score of the season.

Of course, Stephen is also going all out to perform well in the next game and give himself extra points. For the All-Star starter, Stephen also has the heart of winning. It just so happens that the next game is against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant currently ranks first in the West guard group voting, but his advantage is very obvious.

In the past two or three seasons, the duel between the two players who can score the most has attracted great attention. TNT TV is responsible for broadcasting the game, and their ace commentary team Barkley, Steve Cole and Kenny Smith are the live commentators.

The Los Angeles Lakers are currently ranked [-]th in the Western Conference. How could Kobe, who is proud and arrogant, be able to bear it? Coupled with Stephen's stimulation, he played [-]-plus games in three consecutive games, and [-]-plus games once. Although Stephen's scoring momentum has declined slightly recently, he is still the player with the highest scoring average of the season.

Many people are guessing how many points the two of them can score in this game, and who can win the scoring. As for the victory of the game, there are still more optimistic about the Sonics, but the difference between Stephen and Kobe In terms of victory, there are different opinions, and there are everyone who supports it.

Stephen's scoring average this season is unrivaled, but Kobe's performance is not bad. He currently averages 31 points and [-] points per game, ranking second in the league. He is also the only one other than Stephen to average more than [-] points per game. players.

One wins because he is young and strong, full of impact, and the other wins because he has rich experience and mature technology. As for who can win the score between the two, Las Vegas also opened a bet early in the morning. Judging from the odds, Kobe's odds are even lower.

After two days of rest, both Stephen and the whole team are physically back to their best condition, and Carlesimo has begun to practice some tactics that do not require Stephen to control the ball. Of course, Carlesimo also He didn't intend to take possession of the ball away from Stephen, it was just an extra choice.

The Los Angeles Lakers are on their own road trip, but fortunately, this game is not a back-to-back schedule, and it is not too long to fly here from Portland. rest for a day.

Before the game, Stephen and Kobe had no reaction, but the war of words between the media in Seattle and Los Angeles was provoked. For a local player like Stephen, he did not choose the team in Los Angeles, but went to Seattle. The media is still complaining.

They will not consider whether Stephen can still have so many shots even if he is in the Lakers, and whether he can get the current high score without so many shots, and how he and Kobe can coexist. Pointing out with a bit of sourness: "A small team is a small team. They will never understand the happiness of a big team, nor can they appreciate the glory of a dynasty team."

Seattle's "Desert Island" gave a powerful counterattack to the remarks of the "Los Angeles Freelancer": "The collapse of a dynasty always comes from within. If there is no internal dispute, how can a championship lineup be dismantled? They will never be able to do it." When everyone is united, a great player must create his own legend like Michael Jordan, instead of standing on the arms of others."

Fortunately, they didn't know that the reason why Stephen didn't choose the Lakers was also because the internal relationship of the Lakers was too complicated. If they knew, they would have to talk about it, but some of the media in Los Angeles knew about this situation. Ah, I immediately counterattacked speechlessly.

Compared with other teams, the interior of the Lakers is indeed a bit more complicated. Only the Bass family is divided into three factions. Naturally, it is not the kind of simple team that can be compared. A successful team like the Spurs, There are only three talking heads on the team and the relationship is very harmonious. Each of them performs their duties and works together. This is the main reason for the success of the Spurs. The Spurs pursue a simple basketball philosophy.

The players didn't turn a blind eye to the controversy in the media, but took it into their hearts. The Los Angeles media commented in an article that the current Sonics did not have a qualified starting player except for Stephen. The ability of a bunch of players to come to the present is enough to prove Stephen's ability.

They won't speak ill of Stephen, because to them, Stephen is half of himself. They are just angry that Stephen didn't choose Los Angeles. Even if he doesn't choose the Lakers, he can choose the Clippers. In the Derby game, wouldn't the duel between the two scoring kings be more hyped.

It's a pity that the script was not directed by them. Even if Stephen had no brains, he would not choose a team like the Los Angeles Clippers that lacked ambition and aggressiveness. Of course, the local media in Seattle satirized the current Lakers as The fluffy phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and it is also seen by the Lakers team.

In this hustle and bustle, the game between the two teams began. Please pay attention to the intense hype before the game. The Key Center arena once again flooded with excessive fans. You must know that even in the game against the Mavericks, the Key Center was still empty. There are less than a thousand seats.

The Supersonics started with center Coupard, power forward Wilcox, small forward Durant, shooting guard Stephen, and point guard Ridnour. After half an hour of the season, Watson was so impatient. Gastroenteritis was determined to be unable to play, so Ridnour had to start, and Wilkins may not be able to play because of knee soreness.

The Lakers played center Kwame Brown, power forward Lamar Odom, small forward Luke Walton, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Derek Fisher, who returned from the Jazz. Well, the Lakers Vujacic and Andrew Bynum are also unable to play.

"I will be the winner tonight", "I will not lose to you." In the hug before the game, Stephen and Kobe Bryant said in each other's ear, and then they let go, They smiled at each other, and no one said anything more.

Kobe now regards Stephen as his biggest competitor. In the ranks of scorers, Kobe thinks he is already No.1 in the league. In order to keep his position, he can even tolerate failure in record, but when the goal is about to be achieved, But a strong opponent came out.

In Kobe's eyes, there is only one Michael Jordan who can stand in front of him, and he will eventually surpass Michael Jordan, but now, some people think that they are old, because the Laban people have already appeared, and Kobe himself has never In this way, he believes that now is his golden career period.

Kobe does not think that LeBron James will be his opponent, because the two people have completely different styles, so he can praise LeBron James, but Stephen is different. He is his all-round opponent. , The characters he played had too much in common, so after he felt threatened by Stephen, he never said a word of praise to Stephen.

Coupard beat Kwame Brown in the jump ball. The ball was taken by Durant. Seeing that his teammates were far behind him, Durant turned around and went to the basket by himself. Luke Wo Dun didn't keep up with the first step, so he could only watch Durant take a big stride with his eyes. It took only two steps to kill the basket and score a dunk with one hand.

After returning, he attracted Coupard's defensive attention. Luke Wharton made a pass from behind and passed the ball to Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown reached out and easily put the ball into the basket.

Facing the old Derek Fisher, Ridnor easily left Fisher behind with a change of direction, and hit the basket with three crutches and two crutches. He scored two points with a small throw, but returned Turning his head, Fisher also easily crushed him with his strength, causing his foul. After making two free throws, it was four to four.

For four consecutive rounds of offense, both Stephen and Kobe did not touch the ball, and the offense of both teams was very smooth, it can be described as no misses, but the two of them did not know what happened today, so silence.
