This matter is not as sensational as Stephen's quadruple-double game, but it is more controversial. There are indeed many people who do not understand Stephen, including the fans in Seattle, but just as Modans expected, these people It's just a small part, and it doesn't affect the overall situation.

It was because of the controversy over this matter that many people got to know Stephen again. At the same time, the follow-up impact of this incident was that many fans criticized the American Basketball Association, thinking that it was their conformity and rigidity that led to such a player. Excellent players leave because they cannot join the national team.

The final result is that an organization dedicated to racial equality believes that the reason why the Basketball Association did not recruit Stephen to join the national team in time is due to racial discrimination, and requires the National Basketball Association to show evidence of no racial discrimination, otherwise it will Take them to court.

This is not a small crime, and these organizations themselves are the kind of masters who are free to find trouble with others every day. Once they are entangled, it will be difficult to get out without a dead skin. They are all used in lawsuits, and this kind of racial discrimination lawsuit is very difficult to fight.

Hong Tianpei, the consul of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco, came to Seattle to pick up Stephen's naturalization application, and then immediately sent it to the WJ Department in China by a special person, and the WJ Department transferred it to the State Council. Originally, this kind of naturalization application only needed the approval of Minister GA. But the premise must be that the applicant meets the naturalization policy.

If the applicant was not born in China, and one of the parents is Chinese, it is impossible to pass the approval so easily, and Stephen does not meet this condition, so he can only use the special talent clause. Many experts from the former Soviet Union were Those who obtain Chinese nationality through this channel, but the review power of this special talent is in the State Council, and the executive meeting of the State Council makes a decision.

If it were Stephen who applied for it on his own initiative or the China Basketball Management Center would handle the matter, it would be very difficult for the State Council at least to pass it. First, this meeting cannot be held at any time. , but it would be much easier if someone from the top management came forward. A consensus has been formed on this matter long ago. Although it is impossible to hold a special meeting for Stephen, it is still no problem to include it on the agenda. There is nothing controversial.

There is no problem with the executive meeting of the State Council, and naturally there is no problem with the GA Department. Minister GA participated in this meeting as a state councilor, and signed it directly after the meeting. If the formal process is followed, this procedure will take at least three months. It took half a year, but in this matter, it only took three days.

While the naturalization procedure was going on, the Sonics ushered in the challenge of the Chicago Bulls at home. Although Stephen tried his best in this game, he scored 36 points, nine rebounds and nine rebounds in less than 38 minutes of playing time. Assists nearly triple-double data, but still lost to the Bulls.

The Bulls have Ben Wallace and Joe Smith on the inside, Hinrich and Ben Gordon on the outside, and both inside and outside played very well. Stephen was taken care of by Sefoloza and Nocioni in turn, especially Nocioni blindly He kept making physical contact with Stephen, but flopped for Stephen from time to time, which caused a lot of trouble for Stephen. If it wasn't for Stephen's good three-pointer today, his score would have dropped significantly.

Durant scored in double figures alone in the Supersonics starting lineup. Under the defense of Ben Wallace, Coppard's performance fell far short of his usual level, scoring only six points and eight rebounds. Zebiak stood up and gave the team a lot of help with [-] of [-] three-pointers, and he was also a key figure in maintaining the score until the fourth quarter.

After Stephen came on the field, he briefly chased the score to only two points, but Ben Gordon scored two consecutive three-pointers and opened the score again. After Stephen was sentenced to a foul, his touch began to decline. In the end, although the battle reached the last moment, he still Lost the game.

This is the game, you don’t necessarily lose against strong teams, and you don’t necessarily win against weak teams. After losing to the Bulls, the Supersonics’ record was pulled by the Hornets to more than one game, but then the Supersonics beat Sacramento in an away game For the Kings, Stephen scored 32 points in less than 32 minutes.

Carlesimo is still trying to make his own adjustments, and the adjustment is even greater when facing weak teams. In this game, Ridnor was hidden, and Delonte West came off the bench and scored 22 points and 23. With the second assist, Durant also demonstrated his excellent shooting ability, scoring [-] points, and the Sonics won a [-]-point victory.

Immediately after the Sonics came to Phoenix again, after a day's rest, facing the flood-like offensive of the Phoenix Suns, the Sonics kept holding on to the score until there were two points left in the third quarter. Seconds later, Stephen suddenly appeared on the field, because in the last two games, he has only appeared in the fourth quarter. If the team is in a good situation, it will even be 12 minutes later, but today he returned to the field early with exception .

As soon as he played, Stephen contributed a key steal. After stealing the ball from Boisdio, he launched a fast break. While scoring a layup, he also caused a foul by "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa. No way, who called this The kid was fast, and no one else followed, but he followed. Stephen deliberately swayed to the left when laying up, and collided with Barbosa, and Barbosa was waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball from Stephen. It happened to be caught by the referee.

Then Stephen beat Grant Hill again, which made many people sweat for Grant Hill, but Grant Hill was very experienced not to fight Stephen head-on, of course he did not have the strength, with his physique of a glass man He didn't dare to take this risk, but he was very smart and fouled Stephen before Stephen made a shot. After re-serving, Stephen received the ball and made a decisive three-point shot.

After Grant Hill missed a shot from the Suns side, Stephen made another solid mid-range shot to overtake the score. Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni immediately sent Steve Nash and Amarest Demier replaced the two star players with the intention of pulling the score back, but Stephen has been leading the team to firmly grasp the situation and not giving the Suns a chance to overtake.

The game went on until there were only 45 minutes and [-] seconds left before the end. The referee made a critical penalty and called Stephen an offensive foul. As soon as Stephen went up to explain, he gave Stephen another technical foul. Taking this opportunity, The Suns successfully overtook the score.

Stephen controlled the ball unhurriedly, and was not angry because of the penalty. His eyes scanned left and right, trying to find loopholes in the opponent's defense. Stephen was very familiar with the Suns. After all, when he was in the Spurs, he rarely Able to play seven games against the Spurs.

After realizing that the scoring opportunity was not very good, Stephen stretched out his hand and asked Coupard to come up and make a pick-and-roll for himself, then broke in and gave the ball to Coupard. With one throw, Stephen caught the ball and dunked the ball into the basket with an alley-oop.

Coupard's pick-and-roll quality is not high, and his passing is not very good, but it is precisely because of this that others don't be wary of him. The tacit understanding between him and Stephen is unmatched by others. Although in the first two seasons, The two played in different teams for two years, but it did not affect their understanding of each other.

Stephen asked his teammates to improve their defensive quality while standing at the free throw position. Watson and Durant stood on the outside of the three-point line, and Coupard and Wilcox were on both sides of the three-second zone behind them. , The Sonics put up a two-one-two zone defense, which received a miraculous effect for a while. Even Nash's needle-threaded pass could not penetrate such a defense line.

The Sonics defended the Suns against a 24-second violation, which is very rare for the Suns, but in the subsequent offense, Stephen passed the ball to Wilcox, and Wilcox There was a mistake and was successfully intercepted by Amare Stoudemire. The Sonics lost a chance to expand the score.

But Stephen then completed the steal in the hands of Grant Hill, but was fouled by Nash early when he was laying up. After re-serving, Stephen missed the shot, but he shot himself and snatched the rebound back. He shot again and finally made a hit.

Nash's three-pointer shot at the Sonics like a piercing arrow, but Stephen never underestimated Nash. After returning, after attracting three people's defense, Stephen suddenly passed the ball to Duran on the outside. In the hands of Durant, Durant hit a three-pointer.

Seeing that the time of the game was about to come to an end, the Suns' offensive speed was raised to another level. It only took five seconds for the Suns to complete the attack. It was Nash again, who found a wall of only four The route for the ball to pass through, the ball passed to Grant Hill, and Grant Hill caught and shot and hit a three-pointer.

With only 27 seconds left in the game, the game entered Stephen's time. On the offensive end, Stephen scored five points with shots and penalties. On the defensive end, Stephen made an offensive foul and grabbed a backcourt rebound. In the end, Barbosa made a three-pointer at the buzzer, but the Sonics still had a two-point lead over the Suns.
