Kurt Thomas did not even appear on the Seattle SuperSonics bench until the beginning of the second half. He said: "It seems that at halftime, the problem has not been resolved. Although Kurt Thomas has declined this season, he still has the most capable and experienced players in this position. If this issue is not resolved as soon as possible, it is likely to have a great impact on this team."

"Although Kurt Thomas is the least important one in the starting five, this will still affect their internal stability. The Supersonics did not have any problems with the locker room before, but now it seems that it is just It just didn't explode, otherwise it wouldn't be so stiff." His partner Juan Matas also said worriedly.

A non-professional narrator like this is not as tit-for-tat as an ordinary narrator.

"Let's review what happened just now. Although the camera didn't capture the last scene, from the front, it was mainly caused by a senseless foul by Kurt Thomas, and then Stephen expressed dissatisfaction with him, and Kurt Thomas was not to be outdone, and didn't take Stephen, the boss, seriously. As for the dispute between the two, it can only be seen that a verbal conflict broke out between the two, but since there is no video material, we can't hire a lip-speaking expert Let's interpret, but after the language conflict, you can see that Stephen made a gesture to the head coach Carlesimo, and then Carlesimo asked Nick Collinson to prepare to play. At this time, Kurt Thomas looked very obvious. Angry, another unnecessary foul, voluntarily applied for exit, and did not return to the bench after exit, but returned directly to the locker room." Monica Robinson introduced the ins and outs of the matter to the audience.

"If you ask me, Kurt Thomas is a bit old-fashioned, but Stephen is indeed a bit young and energetic. Everyone is anxious after falling behind in the game. The score gap has narrowed, and if you fight each other, you will hurt your own team. Judging from their performance in the second half of the first half, it is obvious that everyone has been affected." Juan Matas also concluded.

"Let's wait and see if Stephen will give us a miraculous comeback in the second half. After all, he has done so often since last season." Seeing that the players have already stood on the field, the ball has been served After coming out, Monica Robinson asked the director to switch the camera to the arena.

Stephen is really not reconciled to failure, but sometimes it doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want. When Stojakovic was resting, the New Orleans Hornets replaced James Posey. Although they won the championship After signing another big contract, James Posey's state is not as good as before, but his defense is still in place. Under his defense, although Stephen scored eight points in a row after the start, the Hornets also scored eight points. points, the point difference still failed to narrow.

After many players get older, his physical strength begins to be insufficient, which cannot allow him to perform as well as before, but if his playing time is shortened, he can still perform very well, just like players like James Posey, If you let him play 10 minutes, he can play soy sauce for half of the time, but if you let him play 10 minutes or so, he can still be the same as before.

Coupled with Ryan Bowen's defense, if you often pay attention to the Rockets' games, you can know that this guy is also famous for his defense. He is often used to defend the opponent's arrow under Van Gundy, but in essence he is the same as Bruce Bowen. There is a huge gap in his defensive ability, but he is very desperate, very hardworking, and makes up for it with diligence. Although he is old, he can still barely make it in the league.

James Posey's defense is that kind. I don't ask you to be unable to score every time, but I will make it very difficult for you to score every time. This defensive strategy is still in place for Stephen, although on the surface Look, it didn't limit Stephen's scoring, but it actually prevented Stephen from scoring explosively.

If you can't score explosively, you can't get close to the classification quickly, because even after the Hornets change, as long as Chris Paul stays on the court, their offense is still as pervasive as mercury. Neither Earl Watson nor Russell Westbrook can stop it.

As a point guard, Chris Paul, in terms of personal offense, although his shooting percentage does not seem to be as stable as Steve Nash, but he has the offensive ability that Steve Nash does not have. Although he is not as good as Balam David in terms of personal scoring He is a scoring point guard like Adams and Arenas, but in terms of team organization, he is much better than these people. In terms of assists per game, he ranks first in the league, and behind him is Shi Tiff Nash and Jason Kidd, two Hall of Fame veteran guards, were able to achieve double figures in assists per game in their third season, which is also one of the few in the historical tide.

His defense is limited to the disadvantage of height and strength, which is not outstanding, but judging from the second-ranked average number of steals per game, the defensive pressure he puts on the offensive side is not small. If his organization is S-level , the offense is A+ level, then his defense can also reach the A level standard.

He showed the value of a core point guard to the fullest. While organizing the team's offense, he always maintained the offensive pressure on the No. [-] player of the Sonics. At the same time, he used defense to prevent the opponent from attacking at will. More than half of the three quarters passed, and the Sonics still failed to overtake the score, and Stephen seemed to have tried his best, without any good means.

In fact, in this game, Stephen's problem is not too big. He has scored 28 points and grabbed seven rebounds at the same time, but his assists are only three, and the three quarters are about to pass. Stephen only, only Yao Ming and Durant scored in double figures, but they were still just in double figures.

The worse the performance of the teammates, the more the Hornets dared to double-team Stephen. Stephen's passing was useless, and he stopped passing the ball slowly. His own offensive efficiency is the highest. Does not attack by himself be a waste to others? Opportunity, but in this way, the Hornets pay more attention to his defense.

Stephen briefly adjusted his style of play, tried his best to create opportunities for his teammates, and then passed the ball himself, but the opportunities were wasted every time, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger. Stephen naturally no longer insisted on this style of play. In response to this situation, although Carlesimo made tactical and lineup adjustments, the adjustments did not seem to have any effect. By the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams had been expanded to sixteen points.

In the fourth quarter, Stephen rested off the court for 2 minutes. After all, he hasn’t rested since the beginning. Although Chris Paul hasn’t rested either, you must know that Stephen’s activity is much more than Chris Paul’s. And seeing that Stephen didn't play, and Chris Paul also didn't play. In the absence of core players, the Sonics still failed to gain an advantage. Driven by David West, the point difference was expanded to nineteen. After Stephen returned to the field, Rasul Butler made another three-pointer, widening the point difference to 22 points.

After Stephen came on the court, he gained a certain advantage in a short period of time and narrowed the point difference to [-] points. However, as Chris Paul returned to the field, he used a cold arrow-like three-pointer to widen the point difference again as soon as he came on the field.

It can be seen from the three-point shooting percentage that the two teams are behind. The Hornets' three-point shooting percentage is not too high. So far, it is only 30.00% 20.00, but the Supersonic On the other side of the team, it was as low as [-]% [-], and this was based on the fact that Stephen made [-] of [-] shots, which shows how bad the others feel.

Stephen's own scoring can't change the team's backward situation, and passing the ball to his teammates is a waste of opportunity. At this time, Carlesimo deliberately called a timeout, telling Stephen to be patient, learn to adapt to different game situations, and trust his teammates. Even losing the game is worth it.

In this way, the Sonics lost the game and the first game after the All-Star break. Although Stephen had a double-double of 39 rebounds and 24 rebounds, Chris Paul also scored 34 points and [-] rebounds. Four assists and three steals, and more importantly, David West scored [-] points and [-] rebounds, while none of the Supersonics scored more than [-] points except Stephen.
