Although the SBC Center is not the stadium with the most luxurious facilities in the NBA team, it is the stadium with the best service. The stadium was built in [-]. At that time, the home of the Spurs was the Alamo Stadium. It was converted from a football stadium. , Every time a basketball game is held, more than half of the space is separated. Even so, the court looks empty, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among the players, especially Duncan, the core of the team.

Since the Spurs just won the championship that year, the vote to increase taxes by 600 million to build a new arena was easily passed. In 100, the arena was officially built successfully, and the naming rights of the arena were acquired by SBC (Southwest Bell) company) at 20 million and [-] years, and won the second championship in the first season when the Spurs moved into the new venue, which can be regarded as a good start.

The SBC Center has 32 parking spaces, 12 cloakrooms, [-] lounges, and [-] luxury boxes with an annual fee of more than [-] US dollars. , can provide fans with dogs, barbecue, sandwiches, pizza and other delicacies, and even shoe shine services and auxiliary facilities for the disabled. The large screen above the stadium is also the first large TV screen with high-pixel technology , allowing audiences outside the stadium to appreciate more detailed content.

When the starting lineup of the Spurs appeared on the big screen above the stadium, Stephen stared in disbelief. Why was there a person whose head was so similar to his own face? It couldn’t be because he was dazzled. I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked again, it turned into the Nuggets' starting roster.

Stephen wanted to ask Yudiqi beside him, but he saw that Yudiqi also looked at himself with unbelievable eyes, with strong surprise and amazement in his eyes.

"You're starting." Udic squinted at Stephen, and said to Stephen with undisguised jealousy and envy. Only then did Stephen believe that he had indeed entered the starting list.

"This is the coach's reward for your hard work. You are allowed to start the first game. However, if your performance is not good, you may be replaced in two or three minutes. Can you turn the reward into playing time? Look at your performance, come on." Carlesimo called Stephen to his side and gave him some instructions before pushing Stephen onto the court.

"Don't be nervous, everyone has to have this once, you have to believe in yourself." Duncan also came over and touched Stephen's head and said, and other teammates also came over to comfort Stephen.

"Will this make him feel a little sudden, but it will scare him, after all, he is still very young." Carlesimo asked Popovich carefully, and Popovich suddenly put Stephen in the starting lineup. Inside, he was also a little puzzled. Although it was planned before the game that Stephen would be tested by Carmelo Anthony in this game, would it be too sudden to send him directly to the starting lineup?

"No, I believe that players who have been baptized in the ncaa finals will not have such problems. You have to believe in your own players." Popovich smiled at Carlesimo and looked at the field nonchalantly In fact, he has absolute confidence in his own group of players.

Even the team's on-site commentator Sean Elliott was surprised to express his confusion about Stephen's first professional game, thinking that Popovich's doing so would only burden Stephen with a heavy psychological burden. Pressure is not a good thing for his career, but he also believes that if Stephen can break free from this pressure, it means that Stephen's future is limitless, at least in terms of psychology, there are no difficulties that can hinder him up.

Sean Elliott is known as the home team's most unbiased commentator. He often puts forward his own opinions even on Popovich's formation, although he was once under Popovich's command.

Throughout the 90s, except for one year when he was traded to the Pistons, he has always been the main small forward of the Spurs. He has a strong scoring ability and has been selected as an All-Star. Bowen acts as a small forward. He has always maintained suspicion and dissatisfaction. He believes that the team should put a player who is as good at scoring and breakthroughs as he is in this position.

Seeing that the team chose a defensive player for this position again, I thought about it again, and once again expressed disbelief about Stephen's future, thinking that a player with only defensive ability but no offensive ability cannot survive in the professional league Yes, even Bruce Bowen still has a corner three-pointer.

The starting lineup of the Spurs is center Rashonestrovich, power forward Duncan, small forward Stephen, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, point guard Tony Parker, and the Nuggets starting lineup is center Marcus Camby , power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Carmelo Anthony, shooting guard Voshan Leonard, and point guard Andre Miller.

Seeing Carmelo Anthony with a sweet smile in front of him, Stephen couldn't help feeling nervous. Among the professional players Stephen has played against, neither Artest nor Stephen Jackson can compare with Anthony.

As a player known as the super-platinum generation in [-], Anthony's performance is absolutely worthy of his No. [-] pick. Since entering the league for two years, his scoring average has been more than [-] points per game, which fully proves that His offensive ability.

Stephen took a long breath and looked at the sky above the stadium. Although he couldn't see the stars or the night sky, Stephen still imagined the whole stadium as a vast wilderness, and all he had to do was to enjoy himself in this wilderness. To show oneself clearly, to conquer here, and to conquer here is to defeat the opponent in front of you.

Stephen has been thinking about what his father and aunt once said, either to be famous or rich, so that he will not be shot casually on the street, and no one will dare to make trouble with his skin color. Thinking of everything he has experienced, Stephen's nervousness disappeared immediately. Compared with killing people, basketball is nothing.

When Stephen looked at Anthony again, his eyes were already full of a strong sense of fighting. Feeling Stephen's eyes full of aggression, Anthony looked this way and saw that an unknown person was looking at him. As if he didn't see Stephen, his eyes went straight through.

Soon, as the referee blew his whistle, the game officially began. In the jump ball, the Spurs got the ball first. After picking and rolling with Duncan, Tony Parker made an action that seemed to be about to shoot, and suddenly passed the ball Given Stephen at a 45-degree angle, after receiving the ball, Stephen made a movement of holding the ball and wanted to attack. Although he looked down on Stephen, Anthony still forced him, but judging by his reluctance, it seemed like Look down on Stephen at all.

It's not that I don't have much confidence in my own shooting, and this is the team's first ball, and it shouldn't be my turn to shoot. I made random shots for the first time. Stephen is not so bold, so Stephen pretended to be very nervous Wanting to pass the ball back, Little Melon Anthony really moved, trying to block Stephen's passing route, but Stephen suddenly withdrew and passed the ball to Rashonestrovich, who was directly under the basket. Because Camby and Martin's attention is on Duncan, although Martin has turned his body, Nesterovic has already hooked the ball into the basket.

After high-fiving with Nesterovic, the two happily ran to the backcourt. As soon as they played, one scored two points and the other got an assist. For the two least famous players in the starting lineup of the Spurs It was definitely a pleasant surprise.

"This little guy can still use fake moves. Fortunately, he is facing Anthony. If it is replaced by James, his pass will definitely become a mistake." Elliott continued to fire at Stephen. , He will never flatter his home team players, but he will not try to please the away players, so he knows that Anthony hates others comparing him with LeBron James, so he still said this on purpose.

"Shit, I offended him a little bit. The last time I saw him, I even said hello to him." Stephen cursed inwardly as he ran, did this guy have a grudge against him? How should I say it? Criticize yourself.

As the team's super ace player, Anthony has unquestionable control over the ball. After getting the ball, he glanced up and down at Stephen. Just now Elliott successfully planted a thorn in his heart. I also hated Stephen for a while, this rookie who hasn't even grown up yet dared to lie to himself with fake moves, so he must teach him a lesson by attacking.

Facing Stephen, although Anthony knew that Stephen was a defensive player, he couldn't help showing a little contempt. He took a step with his feet, and then stared at Stephen quietly to see how Stephen was going to react.

Seeing that Anthony made a move, Stephen stood there without any movement, just a probing step, and the next move has not yet been made. Who knows what he is going to do, with a superhuman reaction speed, Stephen already Learn to brake with stillness.

Seeing that Stephen didn't respond, Anthony took a step back, raised his arms at the same time, and the ball in his hand flew towards the basket. Although Stephen rushed over quickly, he only had time to touch Anthony's forearm , and the basketball in Anthony's hand has left his fingers.

At the same time, there was a referee's whistle. After making a steady free throw from Stephen, Anthony smiled and glanced at Stephen and walked away.

Stephen curled his lips, didn't he just win a goal and earn a foul? Look at your frightened look, but the speed of the opponent's shots also made Stephen more vigilant. It seems that when dealing with other people, you can use static control However, when dealing with this guy, it is impossible to do this. The reaction speed of the opponent is far faster than that of the previous opponent. Stephen calmed down and glanced at the coach again. Popovich was still sitting there as stable as a mountain. Bruce Bowen didn't get up either, so it seemed he was fine.

In fact, even though Stephen let Anthony hit a two-pointer and paid for a foul just now, it fell into the eyes of coach Popovich. Popovich saw Stephen's stability and did not blindly express himself. People, facing the first professional game, and the first time to start, or facing a player like Anthony, it is strange to die if you are not nervous, and you will definitely move around in the game.

And like Stephen, when facing the opponent's defense for the first time, he was not afraid of the opponent's reputation at all. Instead, he took advantage of the opponent's contempt to get an assist. As for the foul, in Popovich’s opinion, it’s not a big deal. It’s normal to pay a foul if you don’t understand the opponent’s offensive characteristics for the first time. I haven’t arranged for someone to explain Anthony’s defensive points to Stephen. The performance is already very good.
