The night in Indianapolis is very deserted, there are no people on the street, and the whole way from the airport

I haven't even encountered a car, and the orange street lights give off a dim light, occasionally flickering a few times, or it's a problem with choosing a route. This kind of Indianapolis does not look like a state capital at all.

After squinting on the plane for a while, Stephen's spirits improved a bit, and he got used to sleeping in his large room. Now Stephen is not used to the narrow hotel room, and occasionally it's okay for one night, this time from Seattle It has been more than a week since I came out, and I haven't been back yet. I have been flying around outside. Stephen is really tired of this kind of life.

Stephen turned his head and glanced at the side. Coppard was still chatting with Wilcox. The relationship between the two people was almost the same. Today's game made the two people find a sense of cooperation. It turned out that the relationship between the two people Only off the court, now I feel like I have become friends on the court. From the time I got on the plane to now, the two of them have been chatting about things in the game.

Seeing the new development of the relationship between the two of them, Stephen felt a little relieved and a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Coupard is now in need of guidance, but there is no such person in the Sonics. Robert Horry and Kurt Thomas is a power forward, not a traditional center.

Although Wilcox is not a traditional big center, he is a player who can swing between the [-]th and [-]th positions. Although he does not have the corresponding offensive skills at the basket, his defense at the basket is still like a traditional center. of.

The growth of inside players usually takes longer. On the one hand, the greater the height and weight, the more stable the action. It is not so easy to complete an offensive action in a small area between square inches.

Stephen once suggested that the team hire an inside coach, but the team did not agree, and then there was Robert Horry. Without the U.S. national team, there is nothing to do throughout the summer, so you can use this time to participate in special training.

Stephen even used his brains to get Kupard to follow Olajuwon and spend tens of thousands of dollars to practice for a few weeks. Although he and Olajuwon are not very similar in type, it is undeniable that this kind of guidance is still useful. As one of the greatest centers in history, Olajuwon's understanding of basketball is beyond the reach of most people.

Five thousand dollars a week, five days a week, two hours in the morning and afternoon each day, the fee is reasonable. It is said that Olajuwon's teaching on footwork is useful even for outside players. It's a pity that Stephen doesn't have that time. If this season's playoffs end early, it's okay, but if it ends late, you will have to report to the national team as soon as it ends.

Go back and ask if Kupard has such an idea. If so, arrange for his agent to contact Olajuwon in advance. Otherwise, Kupard's current strength is not enough to become his right-hand man. If the goal is only to enter the playoffs, then it is naturally possible, but if the goal is to enter the championship, Coupard's ability is still a bit lacking.

If he has a star-level power forward by his side, then Coppard's ability is definitely enough, just like putting him on the Spurs, he is definitely a good helper next to Duncan, if he is allowed to carry the Sonics alone As an insider, he is still a bit unqualified.

Now it depends on how his cooperation with Wilcox is, otherwise the Sonics' inside line is really not strong, especially when they meet the Lakers, this weakness is so obvious. Teams with interior superstars like the San Antonio Spurs can't take advantage of it.

In the second day's training, Carlesimo fine-tuned his tactics again. Except for Stephen who still has the privilege of unlimited shots, the chances of others are more balanced, which requires players to increase their own off-the-ball running Move instead of standing there dead waiting for your chance.

"The opportunity to shoot comes from running", but not everyone is willing to run, because running, especially running without the ball, is a boring, wasteful and meaningless thing. After running for a long time, you may or may not have a chance, and even if you have a chance, you may not be able to catch the ball. The final possible result is that you have been running for a long time, and the result is watching others shoot.

However, running can increase the chances of shots, and also increase the chances of teammates. It is a spirit of everyone for one, and one for everyone. At this time, Stephen, who is in control of the ball, must be independent and reasonable. In time, find a suitable balance point, and you can't let your teammates run for a long time without taking a shot.

For such a change, all players are happy to see the results, because as long as Stephen is on the court, everyone will share Stephen's remaining shots, and according to the previous situation, the second one with the most shots is Duran Special, the third is Coupard, and then the others under Watson.

If Stephen is not on the court, Durant is the first shooter, or Wilkins and Ridnour. The current adjustment can only be said to be more reasonable, but no matter how the adjustment is made, as long as the ball is in Stephen In his hands, the effect of the adjustment depends on Stephen's mood. If he is willing to share the ball with his teammates, others will have more opportunities. If he is not willing, others will have fewer opportunities.

The effect of the adjustment was shown on the second day against the Indiana Pacers. The Sonics took a [-]-point lead in the first half. Eight of the eight players on the team scored, and six scored in the first half. With more than five points, Stephen personally only scored [-] points, but sent out seven assists.

It seems that the situation is very good, Carlesimo is smiling from ear to ear, sitting there on the sidelines without doing anything, during the intermission, in the locker room, he also praised and praised the players. Since the All-Star Game, it was the first time for the Sonics to play so easily. During this long road trip, encountering such an easy game was like eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

But in the second half, the situation changed suddenly. After Stephen left the field, Danny Granger, who had been doing nothing in the first half, suddenly began to explode. He and Mike Dunleavy made eight shots from outside the three-point line and hit six. Here, they only scored two points with free throws. In less than half a quarter, they were beaten by the Pacers in a 22-[-] climax, and they paid the price for their contempt.

Stephen was ordered to make an emergency appearance when he was in danger. When he came up, he used a powerful breakthrough to cause McDunleavy's foul and scored two points. Then he completed a steal from Marquis Daniels and scored a fast break, and then blocked Troy Murphy's dunk.

Then he joined hands with Durant in a 4-to-[-] climax, extending the lead to more than [-] points at the end of the third quarter. With [-] minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pacers The team gave up the game, allowing the Sonics to easily win the game.

After defeating the Pacers, the Sonics rushed to Boston without stopping. On the plane, a piece of news attracted the attention of many players. The title was "Green Detroit, whose fault?" ".

The article first introduces the current economic situation in Detroit. With the gradual decline of the automobile industry, the economic situation in Detroit has fallen to an extremely serious level. It has long lived up to its reputation as a strong industrial city. The workers did not lose a large number of jobs, but a large number of rich people or businessmen felt the economic depression and the calmness of the social environment. There were no opportunities to make money here, so many rich people left Detroit, leaving behind a lot of The villas are left unattended, and many of them have been reduced to meeting places for gangsters and homes for homeless people. Naturally, these people will not spend money and effort to take care of the houses. Not to mention the dilapidated houses, the gardens and lawns around the houses are also barren, revealing Large tracts of land, especially in rich areas, this situation is more serious, the entire street has become like this.

Because these homeowners cannot be contacted or even if they are contacted, they will not come back. In order to make the street look less ugly, the Detroit city government finally came up with an idea to spray the land inside with green paint across the fence. , from a distance, it is green at any rate, and the satellites in the sky also look lush.

After this incident was exposed, the Detroit city government did not receive too much criticism, but there were many people who were not very happy outside, and threatened to go back and file a lawsuit with the Detroit city government to demand compensation for their losses, but The city government of Detroit has already consulted legal counsel for this action, and did not enter your house. It was sprayed through the fence. At most, your lawn or garden will be restored to its original state, and the green paint will be removed and refilled. Just a little soil, and it doesn't need too much cost. In the end, it was seen that there was no threat to the market, and no one really filed a lawsuit.

This report is mourning for the real economy of the United States, and calls on the country to focus on protecting its own economic industry. The financial industry and high-tech are too high-end, and the connected industrial chain is too short. Although profits and taxes can be guaranteed, they cannot be guaranteed. Unemployment rate, at the end of the article, it is proposed that certain industries should be prohibited from transferring their production base to Asia or outsourcing, while at the same time restricting foreign investment in the domestic real economy, increasing the intensity of high-tech blockade, and so on.

Looking at the back, no one is interested anymore, Stephen took a few more glances, and didn't expect that under a prosperous economy, there are still such big problems. Could it be said that the future really belongs to China?Stephen shook his head, not seeing that possibility yet.

When it came to the Boston team, in the game against the Celtics, the Sonics learned what it means to be tough and what it means to be experienced. At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics were still ahead of their opponents. But the Celtics did not compete for a counterattack, but kept chasing behind the Sonics. They waited until Stephen was off the field to overtake the score in one fell swoop. The point difference cannot be widened. The scores of the two sides have been leading alternately. It was not until the last moment of the game that the Celtics began to exert their strength suddenly. A group of old men actually beat a group of young people who were unable to fight back. The two of Lun pinched Stephen, which gave Stephen a lot of face, and also made Stephen unable to fight back, and finally lost the game by four points.
