This defeat was not unexpected. Although the Sonics ranked higher than the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference, the Lakers were gaining momentum. The Sonics lost two of their three games, but still Many people still look forward to the Sonics' ability to snipe the Lakers' winning streak. After all, the Sonics' record in the first half of the schedule did not come for no reason.The fastest update novel [new]

It's a pity that the result of the game disappointed many people. They were not disappointed because of the Sonics' failure. They were disappointed that the Sonics failed to stop the Lakers' winning streak. As a rare player in the league, they can always maintain competition A powerful team, many people are wary of the rise of the Lakers.

Although the Lakers have been at a low ebb in the past two or three seasons, the Lakers did not rebuild because of this, but have been working hard to try to regain their strength and make a comeback. The Lakers unexpectedly got Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies , Many teams have increased their defense against the Lakers.

The seven-game winning streak of the Lakers proves that their precautions are not without reason. Such a team has already revealed its kingly temperament. Given a certain period of time, the Lakers can complete the run-in and fill in the gaps in the lineup. , the championship has one more powerful competitor.

So they all wanted to use the Sonics to test the strength of the Lakers. Unknowingly, the Sonics played the role of touchstone for other teams, but the result was that the Sonics lost to the Lakers, especially the whole game. During the game, the Lakers have always maintained a look of ease, using their strong inside strength to firmly control the situation of the game.

And the supersonic team, which has always been invincible, was hit in front of the lakers. Although it can't be said that they have no power to fight back, they didn't cause any decent trouble to the lakers. Strength easily beat the Sonics.

Although Stephen still performed well, he couldn't prevent the opponent's victory. In fact, in the three games the Supersonics lost, Stephen's performance was not too bad, but the team still lost. As the team's boss, Stephen Received a lot of criticism.

Why only focus on their own shots, only pay attention to personal scoring, did not make teammates better, no team awareness, what great players should make teammates better, these clichés are blowing again, some He simply pointed out that Stephen is aiming for the scoring champion this season, and he doesn't care about the team's win or loss at all.

They will not see that Stephen's average assists per game has always been at the forefront among the swingmen of the forwards and guards. The average assists per game is far greater than Kobe Bryant. And Stephen only has seven. [Thanks for supporting the novel]

They will not see that Stephen is running more and more without the ball, and cooperates with his teammates more and more. Stephen is more and more willing to share the ball with his teammates, and all the passes are not turned into assists In addition to the lack of offensive ability of his teammates, another key factor is that Stephen's passes are not those open passes. He only passes when he sees his teammates are empty. assists.

At the same time, many people began to be pessimistic about the prospects of the Sonics in the playoffs. Some media even pessimistically believed that if this state continues, the Sonics may not even be able to enter the playoffs. , Gaming companies also quickly raised the Sonics championship odds.

In the list of most valuable players in the regular season, Stephen's ranking also dropped once, falling behind LeBron James, because the Cavaliers led by LeBron James have achieved four wins and one loss since the All-Star Game .

Under such circumstances, the entire Sonics team carried a suppressed anger, and then came to the Oracle Arena in Oakland, which is the home of the Golden State Warriors. Before this game, the Sonics There was a lot of unfavorable news from the team. Because of plantar fasciitis, Kurt Thomas was put on the injured list and could not play in this game. At the same time, because of a strained left calf muscle, Wilkins also Can't play.

And as long as bad luck happens, it is usually not one thing, but a series of events. Half an hour before the start of the game, the team's backup point guard was diagnosed with influenza and was restricted by the team doctor. It is confirmed that all the media agree that the Sonics are going to lose three games in a row.

Especially the local media in Seattle is full of grief. No one thinks that the Supersonics can defeat the Golden State Warriors after losing three generals, although the Golden State Warriors are already determined this season. Lottery team.

Although the three players lost are not the team's starters, they are all the main players in the team's regular rotation, especially Wilkins and Ridnour, who are the team's defenders. An important substitute, everyone has the ability to contribute [-] points per game.

Fortunately, Kurt Thomas said that in the recent games, Nick Collinson played for a few minutes in each game, and his game state was also maintained very well. Wilkins is one of the few in the substitute lineup who can attack with the ball As a player, Szczerbiak can only shoot from the outside, and Szczerbiak is generally Durant's substitute. [ ]

As for Ridnor, he has always shared the playing time with Watson equally, but he is suddenly unable to play. Is it necessary for Watson to play the whole game, or let Delonte West, who has not played for a long time, come out? Very little participation, no race status at all.

Do you want Watson to play the whole game?You must know that the head player of the Golden State Warriors is Baron Davis, a representative figure known as a powerful point guard. Watson stands with him, just like a bear and a wild cat competing for strength, and contending with him The audience can't exhaust Watson to death.

The Warriors also have a Watson player who also plays the point guard position, but he is taller and stronger than Watson. Many people worry that Watson's position will be completely blown away by the opponent, because Wilkin Stephen's side is not too important, at most Stephen can play a few more minutes, but this position is hard to say, and this position is the strongest point of the opponent.

But no one thought that this game would be a bloodbath. It was not the Warriors who bloodbathed the Supersonics, but the Supersonics who bloodbathed the Warriors. In fact, by the middle of the third quarter, the game had entered garbage time , The Sonics have led the Warriors by more than 30 points.

If it wasn't for Stephen Jackson's continuous scoring, the Warriors briefly saw the light, but after Stephen's play restricted Stephen Jackson, the Warriors' defeat became inevitable. In the end, they won 82 to [-] The disparity in the score lost the game.

"You are very strong, really strong." This is what Stephen Jackson said to Stephen after the game. Since Monta Ellis was not tall enough to fight against Stephen, Mr. Nelson simply carried out the dislocation to the end and let Monta Ellis Tower Ellis went to fight Durant, but let Stephen Jackson come to full match with Stephen.

Stephen Jackson said earlier that he is a player who is close to the first-class level in both offense and defense. Apart from being a little emotional and unstable in his performance, he is a rare all-around player in the ranks of swingmen. And big heart, dare to fight and fight hard.

He is also a second-round pick, and he is also a man of temperament. He has many friends in the league. Because Hurricane Katrina hit a city with many relatives, he rented two helicopters. Dozens of his relatives have lived in his home for a long time. He brings nine guys who are about his age with him all the year round. They are not his bodyguards or assistants. They are his playmates when he was young, Fugui After that, he didn't forget them either.

No matter when he faced anyone, he never conceded defeat, even Michael Jordan was no exception, but today, he really felt Stephen's strength, not only in offense, but also in defense, but in all aspects. He felt that even if it was a fight, he was no match for the guy in front of him.

"Thank you, you played well." Stephen wasn't just flattering. There are really not many guys who can score more than 20 points in front of him, and they have a set of defense and offense, and it's even more surprising. The strange thing is that this guy actually appeared in the No. [-] position during the period when Baron Davis was not on the court.

This is what surprised Stephen the most. It is normal for Monta Ellis to play point guard. This kid is only 1.9 meters tall. His style of play is more of a shooting guard than a shooting guard, and maybe this is why Mr. Nelson doesn't let him play point guard.

The Watson of the Warriors played point guard for a while because of Stephen Jackson, the game just had garbage time out, and at that time the Watson of the Sonics was already off, the scene of the two Watsons facing each other just didn't show up.

What was surprising about this game was that apart from the result, Baron Davis did not beat Watson as expected before the game. Baron Davis scored [-] The standard point guard data of [-] assists, Watson's [-] points and [-] assists are not far behind.

When facing the Lakers, the Sonics' inside line was so vulnerable, but against the Warriors, the Sonics' inside line advantage was brought into play, but Stephen only scored 37 points in this game The quasi-triple-double data of nine rebounds and nine assists may also be related to the early entry of the game into garbage time, otherwise it would be necessary to make a triple-double.

Stephen ranked first in the steals list, while Baron Davis ranked third in the steals list. The two completed five steals each in this game. This is also a record data. Neither of them came from The steals completed by the opponent's players are the kind of steals that predict and intercept the pass in advance.

After achieving an eye-popping victory, the Sonics quickly returned to Seattle, ready to meet the challenge of the Denver Nuggets. During the flight, the media reports of the game from various stations have already come out , but still not optimistic about the Sonics.

They think that the Sonics' victory over the Golden State Warriors does not represent anything at all, and it does not prove that the Sonics are in better shape. Although they have achieved a bloodbath-like victory, the Warriors this season are at best a fish belly The team, and the Denver Nuggets, who are preparing to face them next, will be a real test.

The result was indeed like this. In the Key Center Arena, the Supersonics and the Nuggets joined hands to dedicate a hearty offensive battle for the fans. The two sides scored a high score of 130-130 to [-]-[-]. In front, the visiting team behind.

The Nuggets had six players in double figures, and the Sonics had five players in double figures. Iverson scored 35 points, six assists and six rebounds, but he had no achievements in steals, but his teammate Anthony Carter got four steals like Stephen. .

Stephen scored 36 points, six rebounds and thirteen assists in this game. The number of assists hit a new high. In addition, he also had four steals. However, in the game, he was blocked by Camby twice in a row. Than scored [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocks in this game.

The two consecutive victories and the high score made people see how powerful the Sonics are, but there are still some media who are stubborn, thinking that the Sonics did not encounter a decent defense in these two games and won their opponents in offense It's not a big deal, it's only when you meet a defensive player that you win the game that you can truly regain your form.

As a result, on the third day of the game, it was also on the road, with consecutive back-to-back games, and the opponent was the Miami Heat, which had been resting for two days. The Heat can always be regarded as a defensive team, although their defensive quality ranks first in the league. Not in the top three, but they always have a place in the top five.

The Sonics also won by more than [-] points, and scored more than the average points per game. This made everyone have no excuses, but quickly won three consecutive victories after three losses. The Sonics' self-adjustment ability, especially Stephen's stable performance amidst the controversy, added a smile to his competition for the most valuable player in the regular season.

The Sonics, which had slipped to fourth in the West, also returned to the third position in the West after three consecutive victories. No one will discuss whether the Sonics can enter the playoffs anymore, unless it is the next game. If they lose all, they may not be able to enter the playoffs, and with their current momentum, it is obviously impossible for such a thing to happen.
