The ball collided with the backboard, changed its flight direction, and flew into the basket obliquely. This is Duncan's forte, but today it was used by Stephen to deal with Duncan, but Duncan's shots are usually shots, while Stephen It's pick basket.

The rebound shot is also called the wipe shot. This trick has always been Duncan's patent. In fact, before Duncan or besides Duncan, some people often used this trick to score, including Sam Jones of the Celtic dynasty. Bill Sharman was replaced, continuing the Celtic dynasty.

His rebound shot was a beautiful landscape in the Celtics' offense at the time. Boston fans liked this scoring method very much. Even Wilt Chamberlain could rarely block this offensive method. In addition to this, Sam Jones is also a master of running off the ball.

However, in the entire basketball history, Sam Jones was just a short-lived figure. After him, no one used this trick as his regular offensive weapon until Duncan appeared. In fact, Duncan didn’t use it very often. There are too many weapons in the offensive arsenal.

But the technique of hitting the rebound and shooting has strong personal characteristics, and secondly, besides him, no one can play it so well. In fact, many inside players, especially the position of power forward, many people will use this technique. Some guards, including Elton Brand and Zach Randolph, occasionally use this trick, but Duncan's rebound shots are the most unsolvable.

The characteristics of the rebound shot are different from the usual release point because the rebound is aimed at the backboard instead of the basket. This brings confusion to the defense, because all defenses are based on the principle of preventing the ball from flying to the basket. How can you defend the shot to the basket.

What Stephen used was not to shoot, but to lift the ball high with his fingers. This kind of attack is easy to directly lift the ball to the basket. Duncan's foul, if Stephen did it deliberately, it is really against the sky.

It's just that Stephen accidentally missed the free throw. It was almost 2 minutes into the game before Stephen scored his second point. For the Sonics, this is also a rare thing. **Vichick see Arriving here, he frowned unexpectedly.

He is not worried that Stephen will not attack. If Stephen does not attack, it means that the Supersonics have given up their biggest advantage. No matter how good Stephen passes the ball and assists his teammates, it is not the most lethal. His biggest threat is still his own. attack.

He also wasn't worried that Stephen only attacked and didn't pass. No matter how many points he scored, he still couldn't compete with a team. Offensive, there is nothing terrible about that.

The most frightening thing is the current situation. He is always ready to go, but he is not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he keeps sending the ball to the weak point of the Spurs' defense. When his defense comes, his offense comes.

**Vich was planning to adjust the team's defense so that the Supersonics' inside line couldn't have so many opportunities, but before he gave an order, Stephen's offense came, which made him stop, no Dare to change rashly.

After Stephen completed the attack, he came back and destroyed Ginobili's pass on the defensive end, then took off the rebound over Oberto's head, threw a long pass to Watson, and almost completed the fast attack.

After falling into the positional battle, Stephen took the ball and rushed straight to the basket. After Duncan raised the defense, he ran to the side again, and after a single block screen, he returned to his original position and ran out of a triangle. Successfully disrupted the Spurs' defense.

Then Stephen passed the ball to Watson and ran directly to the bottom corner. Durant blocked him in the middle and blocked Bruce Bowen. At this time, Oberto was defending Durant, obviously on footsteps I can't keep up with Stephen.

When Stephen formed an air cut to the basket, Watson's pass also arrived in time. Although Duncan returned to the defense from the other end with the fastest speed, as a big player, how could he catch up? Stephen's lightning-quick speed, not to mention Stephen jumped up a long way from the basket, even if Duncan came to defend, it would be a blocking foul, and he would never dare to get a foul Another foul in such a short amount of time.

The lethality of Stephen's goal just now lies in this. Duncan must reduce his defensive enthusiasm, because he is the support of the Spurs' defensive system. Once he gets two fouls at the beginning of the first quarter, then He has to rest.

Stephen slid up into the air, like a big bird in the air, he didn't seem to be bound by the earth's attraction or air resistance at all, he was not far from the basket, and the time spent in the air was correspondingly not that long , but his movements are very stretched, and at the same time, his flying movements seem effortless, as if he was originally a creature flying in the air.

The final dunk action is not particularly violent, but it has an unrivaled momentum and unstoppable arrogance, just like the movement of a king who flicks his hand while looking down on the world, the natural arrogance is born with it.

This dunk also boosted the momentum of the Supersonics. Originally, the Supersonics were behind three to one. Although they had the belief that the underdogs would win, they lacked a little confidence. After the game started, they performed well on the defensive end. , but on the offensive end, they are not very active.

However, under Stephen's slow drive, the enthusiasm for participating in the offense began to rise. After the Spurs missed the offense, Stephen suddenly shot the ball while running, and the ball came to Watson's hands very covertly. Then Watson passed to Durant very quickly.

Durant shot a three-pointer directly in front of Ginobili, and the ball flew into the basket very neatly. With this three-pointer, the Sonics also extended their lead to more than five points. **Vich stood up and called a timeout, and arranged his tactics, because he knew that after being led by a team like the Sonics, it would be very difficult to play.

But after the timeout, before the Spurs' offense had time to start, Stephen completed a steal from Tony Parker, and directly advanced to the fast break after the steal. Tony Parker failed to block the attack. The ball scored, but also caused his foul.

This is absolutely unbearable for Vitch. When Stephen was in the Spurs, Vitch has repeatedly emphasized that if the opponent plays a fast break, if the opponent really cannot stop the foul, they should foul early and be ruthless. Let the opponent not have a chance to shoot, otherwise don't foul.

So it must not be surprising that **Vich uttered a powerful roar and growl at Tony Parker. Tony Parker's face was very ugly. Keke would not forgive him and immediately replaced him with Damon Stedmire.

This made the Sonics players and fans a little more looking forward to today's game.
