() After returning to their own home court, the Seattle SuperSonics easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers again. Although Chris Kaman did not play, facing the combination of Marcus Camby and Zach Randolph, Coupard In this game, he showed his prowess and scored 24 points and 22 rebounds, squeezing Yao Ming's playing time to only [-] minutes.

Every time he played against the Los Angeles Clippers, Coupard was very energetic, but unfortunately, he was not as good against other teams.

If Coupard can maintain this state, even if it is slightly lower, the Sonics will not need to trade Yao Ming, and Coupard will have no problem getting a maximum salary contract steadily. What makes people angry and hateful is that he obviously has this talent, but he just doesn't try to show it.

Stephen really hates this kind of people who obviously have a talent that no one else can think of but waste it, but he has never hated Coupard. It's a little bit reluctant to start.

When he was taken care of by Johnny and Wick, Stephen always thought that one day he would be strong, and he must take good care of the two of them. Now he finally has this opportunity. Can't stop worrying.

Now Johnny doesn't know where he went. The war in Afghanistan is not over, and Johnny probably won't come back. Now the two of them seem to live in two different worlds. Although Stephen wants to contact, But there has been no response.

The Los Angeles Clippers made several trades this summer, including the acquisition of Zach Randolph from the New York Knicks, plus a couple of years of draft picks, and are now a mid-table team, at least judging by the roster However, due to the continuous poor performance, the whole team does not have the mentality of trying to win with all their strength, so it is okay to say that the game is going smoothly. Once the game situation is unfavorable, the spirit will immediately lose its spirit.

It's not so easy to develop a team's strong team temperament. Like the Sonics, after the last season's ups and downs, these seasons are considered better, but it is still driven by the undisputed core strength of Stephen.

After defeating the Los Angeles Clippers, the Supersonics have won ten consecutive victories and become the hottest team in the league. For the Supersonics with Yao Ming, the league is crying wolf, and many media Comparing the Rockets' trade of Yao Ming to the Sonics with the Grizzlies' trade of Pau Gasol to the Lakers last season, it is called a "robbery trade."

Although the circumstances of the two are different, the Rockets' trade of Yao Ming was forced or cheated by team doctor Thomas Clanton, but this kind of trading of superstar players to teams in the same district is indeed a bit uncomfortable. I understand too much.

For the Sonics, only paying a Wilcox plus a first-round pick can be exchanged for a player like Yao Ming. Basically, there is no rubbish contract. It is really a perfect thing. Refer to Orlando The players that the Magic brought when they traded McGrady to the Rockets will know how suitable this deal is. Of course, this refers to the situation that Yao Ming seems to have no physical problems now.

After a day's rest, the Sonics ushered in the challenge of the Toronto Raptors again. Facing the inside lineup with Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh, the Sonics did not take advantage of the inside lineup, but the outside lineup , especially the point guard, facing Jose Calderon's defense, Russell Westbrook scored 21 points in 22 minutes of playing time, plus Watson's 48 points, Jarrett Jack Twelve points, just this one point, the Sonics scored [-] points.

Stephen contributed 27 points steadily as always. In the end, the team beat the opponent with 110 points 92 to 27 and won their own No.11 consecutive victories. Strong, with almost no weaknesses, he treated the Sonics like a wolf.

After all, most of the team are young players, and there is almost no resistance to this kind of flattery.Containment, flutteringly waited for the Cleveland Cavaliers game. Although the Cavaliers are also one of the league's strong teams, they were able to easily beat last time, and this time it is home, so it shouldn't be a problem. With this mentality entered the game.

Carlesimo is not clear about the psychology of the team. After all, there is only one day of training time. On this day, he happened to have something to do at home. The training was done by the assistant coach, and Stephen didn't notice it. At the same time, he also felt that the team The current lineup is very complete, and there is really nothing to worry about.

Due to the outbreak of Russell Westbrook in the last game, Carlesimo decided to give Westbrook more opportunities in this game, because the point guard position of the Cavaliers is also a weakness. In order to train him, Carlesimo Mo even took Watson out of his position because he knew Watson wouldn't complain about it.

This is also a kind of person who is good at being bullied and horse is good at being ridden by others. Westbrook entered for the first time, coupled with the explosion of the last time, his self-confidence is extremely bursting, as long as the ball is in his hands, he will take the ball to the basket Box impact, regardless of the opponent's defense.

But they didn't know that the Cavaliers were originally a team that was good at defense. Although Delonte West was not well-known, his strength was actually quite good, but his personality and psychology were a little problematic. The Sonics didn't need to add more manpower at the point guard position. Facing the impact of the young Russell Westbrook, Delonte West put all his strength on defending Westbrook. Westbrook made just one of seven shots.

At the beginning, Stephen also had the idea of ​​cultivating young players, and he didn't pay attention to it, because if he misses the shot and you don't let him shoot, he will be even more unable to make shots in the future, but it is a big problem for the team to make shots for this purpose. Huge damage was done.

Although Stephen took over the team's offense in time, Carlesimo also regretted replacing Westbrook again. At this time, he didn't want to cultivate him. He won the game first.

Mike Brown is a very capable head coach. Although he lacks experience, he always insists on defense, which ensures the stability of the team. On offense, he completely trusts LeBron James and gives everything to LeBron James. Brown James to deal with, this is also a very simple and effective way.

When the Supersonics gradually caught up with the score, the Cavaliers began to show off their three-pointers. Mo Williams, Delonte West, and LeBron James made six consecutive three-pointers, and the Cavaliers made six three-pointers in one fell swoop. The difference widened to more than ten points.

After Yao Ming came on the court, Mike Brown did not let Ilgoshkas, who was tall enough to compete with Yao Ming, stay on the court. Instead, he replaced the Brazilian Anderson Varejao. He fell to the ground as soon as he was touched by Yao Ming. The referee called Yao Ming a foul for grabbing a rebound. The reason was that he was pressing someone with his shoulders. With Yao Ming’s height, he could just lift his arms to press someone. The referee’s whistle was unreasonable. But Varejao's actions are so exaggerated that people can't help but believe it.

After less than two rounds, Yao Ming turned around and hooked, and hit Varejao's face with his elbow. Although the replay video clearly showed that it was Varejao who leaned in, the referee still gave Yao Call an offensive foul.

Two consecutive offenses suppressed Yao Ming's arrogance, and under the strong defense of LeBron James, Stephen couldn't score by himself. After Stephen left the field, the Sonics played a small wave of offensives to narrow the point difference To within ten.

In the second half, Stephen led the team to launch a counterattack and once overtook the score, but today the Cavaliers' defense is in place, and they have been stuck on the key points of the Sonics' tactics, making the tactical offense impossible. Personal ability to play, and the Cavaliers' offense basically completely gave up on the basket and focused on outside shots, but in the case of a good shooting percentage, it is much better than the Sonics' offense.

It is impossible for any team to completely dominate the game. The Cavaliers gave the Sonics a lot of opportunities, but today's Sonics, the ability to seize opportunities is really poor. Opening, until the fourth quarter, with a wave of [-]-[-] small points, the Cavaliers opened the score to more than [-] in one fell swoop.

Stephen began to show his scoring qualities at this time, and a wave of offensive scoring eight points in a row narrowed the point difference in one fell swoop, but LeBron James and Mo Williams each made another three-pointer, closing the score again. Pulling back, the two sides just come and go, and the Sonics have not been able to overtake the score.

Stephen also tried to pass the ball to his teammates, but today the whole team misfired and wasted a lot of opportunities, but if he played alone, the Cavaliers' defensive pressure was all on him alone, and the offensive efficiency was also greatly reduced. At the end of the game, Stephen chased the score to only one point, but a three-pointer by Delonty West extinguished all the hopes of the Sonics, so the [-]-game winning streak came to an end, and the Sonics finally There was a defeat.

However, after a defeat, the Sonics let go of their burdens, and the mental state of the players returned to normal. Then they easily defeated the Atlanta Hawks in the away game, avoiding the fate of losing streak
