Now Stephen won't think about the most valuable player in the regular season for the three consecutive championships, because the second one has not yet been obtained, and only after the second one can he think about the third one, and he wants to win this season's award , First of all, we must ensure that our team has the best record in the league.

Before the start of this month, Stephen specially held a mobilization meeting in the team. Only all players participated in the mobilization meeting. The meeting was held at Stephen's home. The Spanish barbecue restaurant partner Kevin Durant was looking for happened to come to inspect the environment here. Durant took the opportunity to let him come over to show everyone his craftsmanship, and by the way, to make a name for himself. When he saw a home like Stephen’s, he had already been here. Anyone who hadn’t been there would be surprised and envious, envious and jealous. .

How should I put it, even though they are considered wealthy compared to the average person, if they want to afford such a mansion, and at the same time have to pay the maintenance fee and property tax, then they can barely maintain this house in their lifetime, the team Only four people can enjoy such a house, but they have to be cruel.

The boss that Kevin Durant strongly recommends to everyone is really good, especially in line with the taste of Jeremy James. He alone ate one-fifth of all the prepared materials. Anyway, he doesn’t care. According to the team’s rules, you will not play if you are not allowed to play. Other people basically just try it out and bring some to the family at most. Anyway, Stephen said that all these preparations must be eaten or taken away. If you don’t give them, leave them in here.

Speaking of the goal of this season, it is undoubtedly the championship, but if you want to win this championship, you still need to persist in playing the rest of the game. Although the Sonics have locked the playoffs, but for the finals The rest of the home field, still can not relax or slack, Stephen will naturally not say that in order to let himself get the most valuable player in the regular season, he can only use the home court advantage to talk about things, otherwise, he has already entered the playoffs anyway, there must be some players who will Mentally relax.

How should I put it, Stephen does not ask everyone to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this goal, but as long as they work a little harder, it may bring about completely different results. This meeting is not only a mobilization meeting, but also a cheering meeting. Let the teammates lift their spirits and prepare for the hard battle of the playoffs.

As we all know, this team is very young. The only player who is young to over 30 years old is Kurt Thomas. At the same time, young players also have a problem, lack of game experience, lack of preparation for tough battles, the playoffs are different from the regular season, The defensive strength is higher, the confrontation strength is stronger, and the offensive and defensive conversion is faster.

Moreover, in the regular season, the Sonics are directly ahead of their opponents most of the time, and the experience in dealing with hard battles is obviously insufficient, let alone the experience in dealing with the conference finals or finals. Stephen is alone, and there are no more than three players with experience in the division finals. Players like Yao Ming can be regarded as relatively experienced players, but they have only reached the semifinals at most before.

In the playoffs, game experience has become a very important factor, because no matter how good the head coach is, he can't pay attention to every move on the court, and he can't always command the team to make no mistakes. Veterans, on the other hand, know better what to do when and under what circumstances, without the need for the head coach's command.

Just like the Boston Celtics last season, although their three main players have rich game experience, the role of veteran players like Sam Cassell and James Posey cannot be ignored. The Los Angeles Lakers don't have that kind of seasoned veteran on their bench.

The problem with the Sonics is the lack of veteran players, and the excessive pursuit of the health of the salary system. If Earl Watson or Russell Westbrook are injured before the All-Star Game, the team can still recover from the free agent market. To be supplemented, but there is nothing to do.

This problem is very serious, but there is no way to solve it. We can only emphasize it early and let them realize this problem psychologically. Stephen himself has rich experience, so he doesn't think it is difficult to play in the finals, but others may not be like this I think, generally speaking, it is better to have a psychological preparation in advance.

All in all, the meeting was a successful meeting, and it was also a meeting of unity. Almost everyone was happier. Through this meeting, everyone had a clear understanding of the situation, the importance of the league's first record, and more closely united Stephen was by his side.

On the night of the meeting, the Sonics set off as a team and came to San Antonio, Texas to challenge the Spurs here. After a fierce fight, it was the Sonics who worked harder. In the whole game, the Sonics took the lead 21 times, and the Spurs took the lead [-] times. One can imagine how anxious the game was.

Stephen scored 46 points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists in a quasi-triple-double. He was the contributor to the victory in this game. Seeing Stephen like this, the Spurs' heart began to bleed again. Why did they give up such a player at that time? Woolen cloth.

After defeating the Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets both won the game respectively. In this way, the difference between the three teams' wins is exactly the same. Compared with each other's matchups and the rankings of their respective stages In the current situation, the Denver Nuggets have advanced to the third place in the Western Conference in one fell swoop. This is the prediction before the season, and countless experts have misjudged it.

Then came the Dallas Mavericks, and the San Antonio Spurs dropped to the fifth place in the West. They wanted to advance to the third place in the West, but unexpectedly regressed to the fifth place in the West. How can Popovich be happy? , Even if Stephen came to greet him, he didn't have much enthusiasm.

However, the post-match gala show still couldn't run. The last time it was at the home court of the Sonics, the Spurs won. This time it happened the other way around. Naturally, Stephen would not be polite to them.

Killing the Spurs, in addition to making the position of the Sonics more secure, is also due to the conspicuous strong team label on the Spurs, and now it seems that the possibility of the two teams meeting in the playoffs is still very high. Being big, being able to win one more game is at least a psychological advantage. As for how useful this advantage is, it's hard to say.

Stephen went home to see his parents, his father was okay, and his mother shed tears when she saw her, but Stephen persuaded them to go to Seattle with him, but they were not willing to part with their careers here. For them, a son is a son Yes, their own is their own, even if their son doesn't care about this little money anymore, they don't want to live on their son.

Anyway, the parents are young and in good health, and there is something to rely on when they are together. The climate here in San Antonio is good, but it is colder in Seattle after all. Since they didn't want to leave, Stephen didn't force it. On the second day, he was alone Boarded the plane back to Seattle.
