Verbal confrontation cannot damage the friendship between the two sides, but it can increase morale. To be honest, neither Stephen nor Carlesimo is willing to meet the Spurs, but they also know that if they want to stand out in the West, It is necessary to break through the Spurs' line of defense and fake genius.

Although Stephen is lost, at the age of Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker, it is not a problem to maintain a good performance for three to four years. If a few suitable players are selected in the middle, the Spurs will still be a strong team at the championship level.

I don't want to run into the Spurs, but I just ran into the Spurs. Fate is so unpredictable, but the Spurs are not in a good state this season. They spent a season and they haven't solved the fact that they lack Stephen. , still struggling.

Jeff Green is a player who performs relatively well in every aspect, which means that he has no outstanding points, but his golf quotient is very high. In this regard, he is in line with **Vich's requirements, but his body is too large Tall, the players defending the third position cannot keep up with the speed, and the players defending the fourth position suffer a bit in terms of strength.

But in general, he still plays the role of Stephen in the substitute lineup very well, that is, he can organize offense, and he can also attack and defend. It can be regarded as liberating Ginobili, allowing Ginobili to follow up more. The main lineup plays together.

But Stephen's offensive ability is not what he can make up for. Although his offensive skills are comprehensive, he has no absolutely reliable scoring methods. Even when shooting from the outside, his shooting percentage is not too stable. The place.

**Vich likes players with relatively stable performance. A player who can contribute more than 25 points per game is far more useful than a fluctuating player with [-] points and [-] points in one game. In this way, he can formulate game strategies Only when he was young, he could follow the steps, which is why he likes those veterans.

Vaughn still stayed in the team this season, and Michael Finley couldn't find a player willing to give him a big and long contract outside, and finally chose to stay in San Antonio.

Matt Bonner, who gave up because of the need to provide Stephen with a contract, signed back after trading Stephen, introduced veteran "Little Flying Mouse" Damon Stedmire, and at the same time, Vicki finally got what he had always dreamed of. Amy Uduka, who has always wanted to find a successor for Bruce Bowen, after looking at Steven, Amy Uduka is his last hope.

This lineup is indeed not as strong as last season. After all, Vaughn, Michael Finley, Duncan, Ginobili, Oberto, and Bruce Bowen are all one year older. At the beginning of the season, the Spurs were even doubtful. They may not even make the playoffs.

The average age of this lineup is much greater than that of the Sonics. With the current lineup of the Sonics, it is difficult to find a player over the age of 25, but it is difficult for the Spurs to find a player under the age of 25. In contrast , There are fewer people who are optimistic about the Spurs' ability to enter the Western Conference Finals.

The Key Center arena was packed again, and there were still fans around outside, waiting for someone to refund their tickets. According to the business department, the ticket sales for the first two home games were the best in the whole season, almost breaking the ball. The record for the fastest ticket sales is Doucai Academy.

Before the start of the game, the two sides still maintained a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, but as soon as the game started, this peaceful atmosphere disappeared immediately. Like in hand-to-hand combat.

The Spurs don't expect to be able to compete with the Sonics on the perimeter, especially in terms of a single player, and when the league's defense against Steph has no limiting effect, the Spurs don't feel that the aging Bruce Bowen can Restrain Stephen.

So they focused on the inside line to win. After all, they have Tim Duncan, one of the best inside players in the past ten years. Who are we afraid of if we are strong, first consume your inside line, and we still have an advantage in fighting outside lines.

This is because of the difference in thinking that led to the two sides adopting the same method. On the one hand, they feel that we have Duncan who we are afraid of, and on the other hand, we think we are young and who we are afraid of. Anyway, Coupard can even carry Yao Ming, let alone lose weight. of Duncan.

Stephen has always been a leader in entertaining the team's tactics. He played half a quarter and only took one shot. Even Wilcox, let him face Oberto, still has a certain advantage.

On the defensive end, due to his background, although Carlesimo dare not say he knows the Spurs' offensive tactics well, he still knows a lot. , has already made adjustments to the tactics, but everything remains the same. Generally speaking, there are only a few routines.

The two sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. The scene is very lively, but the score is not too high. At the same time, no one can lead the opponent by a big score. After Stephen joined the offense, the Spurs also increased the outside attack. The inside line also did not gain an advantage.

Under such circumstances, the Sonics took the lead in making changes and began to focus on the outside attack as before. At this time, Bruce Bowen was a little physically exhausted because he played most of the quarter, so ** Wei Odd replaced him with Jeff Green.

This is the first time that Stephen has directly confronted Jeff Green. Although he was full of confidence when he stood in front of Stephen, with a positive attitude and good movements, Stephen just swayed easily. Twice, and then squeezed past him abruptly.

Duncan hurriedly turned around to make up for it, Ginobili also came from one side, trying to steal the ball from Stephen, but after two years of playing together, Stephen knew their playing habits and movement ability very well, so he immediately moved to the left Dodging, the ball swayed in his hand, making an action like shooting and passing.

Duncan jumped up in a hurry and stretched out his hand to block Stephen's shot, while Ginobili stretched his hand down to prevent Stephen from passing the ball to the Sonics who were emptied by their defense. The two cooperated flawlessly, but Stephen As expected, Stephen was not afraid of Duncan's block, but went up to seek active confrontation, and at the same time got out of Ginobili's dangerous zone.

Duncan always knows what to do when he does it. He can't do it and rarely makes mistakes. There is no problem with his defense, but Stephen's space time and adjustments in the air are beyond his expectations. I saw that Stephen had already started to fall, but was still in the air, and when he threw the ball, he touched his hand.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded. After landing, Duncan shrugged and spread his hands. There was no way, the "old man" Joe Crawford was also among the three referees who whistled the game today.

Stephen didn't care so much, and he didn't miss the free throw. Facing the encirclement and double-teaming of three people, Stephen was still able to score, and at the same time caused Duncan's foul. This goal is enough to demonstrate his ability.

After coming back, just after halftime, Stephen stood beside Ginobili. Stephen knew very well that the defense against Ginobili could not be relaxed at all, and he could do nothing for most of the quarter. Like a shooting guard with a dog and a mouse, doing the job of point guard.

But as long as you give him a little chance, or when the team needs him to step forward, he can score crazy points. His explosive scoring ability is almost unmatched among the players Stephen met. To some extent, he is even higher than Duncan's danger index.

You let Duncan score five or ten consecutive points in one or two minutes. Duncan may not really have that ability, but Ginobili has the ability to instantly change the situation of the game.

Regarding Stephen's personal care, Ginobili had expected it a long time ago, stretched out his hand to hook Oberto from the inside, and made a pick-and-roll with him. Although Stephen had anticipated his action in advance, Oberto and Ginobili The level of tacit understanding developed in the national team is beyond the imagination of ordinary players. Stephen was blocked two steps late.

Wilcox helped slow down Ginobili's pace, and Stephen followed behind him again, but before Stephen could catch up, Duncan came over to help Ginobili block Stephen, and then faced Coupard and Ginobili made a very easy change and scored a layup.

After Stephen came back, he missed a three-pointer from the outside, but in the rebound battle, Coupard bravely defeated Duncan. Duncan's underhand skills far surpassed that of ordinary people squeezed Duncan out abruptly, took off the rebound, and passed it to Stephen.

With this shot, Stephen took a step forward, so although he hit it, it was a two-pointer, but after returning, Ginobili made a shot directly outside the three-point line.

Driven by Ginobili, the Spurs have maintained a slight advantage in the score, but in the second half of the second quarter, Ginobili's physical strength began to decline. At this time, Stephen's advantage appeared, and his physical strength As if there is no loss at all, it still continues to express itself efficiently.

Soon, the Sonics took the lead, and by the end of the first half, the lead had expanded to more than double digits. Although this was not the final result of the game, this performance was enough to confirm what some people said, So many people are discussing whether the Spurs will fall in the semifinals again after four years, and more people are guessing that **Vich insists on letting Stephen go. Not filled with regret.
