"Di..." Following the referee's whistle, Stephen stood directly under the basket, and at his feet lay the boss of the Spurs, Tim Duncan nicknamed "Stone Buddha". At this time, Oberto He hurried over and pulled Duncan up, while Stephen walked to the free throw line and prepared to make a free throw.

When the two sides fought in the second half of the third quarter, the real fire had already been fought. Just now, Stephen had already jumped into the air. Duncan tried to come over to block the shot, but was directly knocked down by Stephen, and beside him, he was still standing. As for Bruce Bowen, Stephen knocked over two people at once, and finally dunked the ball in, causing a foul by Tim Duncan.

And after knocking Duncan over, it was obvious that Duncan was lying at his feet, but Stephen didn't even have the intention of pulling at all. He waited quietly for Duncan to make room for his own free throw. Up to now, the old relationship has been ignored. Bruce Bowen almost tripped Stephen with his foot just now, but Stephen didn't make him feel better, and slammed his elbow under his side. I don't believe he can feel better there.

In the first quarter of the two teams, the game was relatively mild, unhurried, and did not seem intense. In fact, for both sides, there were not many games left, and the Sonics basically locked themselves. The No. [-] position in the West is just that the No. [-] in the league has not been guaranteed, but the problem is not big. As for the San Antonio Spurs, if there is no major problem, they will only be in the third, fourth, and fifth positions in the West. It is impossible to play well. To the second place in the West, it is impossible to retreat to sixth or seventh in the West if you don't play well.

Therefore, because of a game, it is really not worth getting angry. The game is fierce. On the one hand, it consumes energy, and on the other hand, it is easy to get injured. If there are too many collisions, the chance of injury will naturally increase. This is inevitable. For the Sonics, it’s okay to say that apart from Earl Watson who is still unable to play, other injured players such as Russell Westbrook and Nick Collinson have also returned to the team, even Earl Watson has already started. With the ball training, it only takes about a week to play the game, and it is estimated that he can catch up with the last game of the regular season.

But even so, the impact of injuries cannot be ignored. You must know that the injuries of Earlwater and Russell Westbrook have already affected the team, and the importance of the two of them in the team is not enough. It is too important. If there is still a lot of time to recover from injuries in the middle of the season, then now, the playoffs are about to start. Once injured, they may miss the entire playoffs. The two teams are not like other teams. Similarly, they still need to work hard for the playoffs. Coupled with the previous relationship, it is indeed normal to play like this.

But when it came to the second quarter, the rhythm of the game changed, the game was played faster and more intensely, and there were more small moves, and naturally there were more collisions between each other. Kevin Durant, when Kevin Durant took off and shot, it was already possible to exert an effective defense, but Bruce Bowen kept sticking to Durant. After Stephen saw it, he didn't wait for him Mind you, Durant has fallen and landed right on Bruce Bowen's feet.

Fortunately, the team that stepped on was not a support foot, and Durant's reaction speed was very fast. As soon as he stepped on it, he hurriedly took a step back to get rid of Bruce Bowen's entanglement. Stephen ran over at this time and warned Bruce Bowen, but Bruce Bowen ignored Stephen at all, turned his head and ran away.

Stephen is not easy to dismiss. When he was defending Ginobili, he made a direct collision and knocked Ginobili more than one meter away. The referee gave Stephen a foul, but Stephen obviously didn't take it seriously. What happened, he just ran away. This was his first foul, so there was no need to worry.

Popovich protested against Stephen's intentional collision, but the referee shook his head in disapproval. This is the Key Center Arena, home of the Supersonics. The referee was foolish enough to favor the Spurs, and everyone knew that Stephen was strong. , and Ginobili is notoriously reckless, the referee felt that it was good enough not to judge Ginobili for diving, so how could he attack Stephen again.

Then there were more collisions between the two sides, and many accidents happened. Roger Mason was blocked by Stephen and fell to the ground. As a result, he seemed to fall on his back. The pain was unbearable, so he had to rest, and then Yao Ming was hit by Oberto He fell to the ground, and although he didn't suffer any injuries, Carlesimo didn't dare to take any more risks, and replaced Yao's name with Coupard.

As a result, Coppard came up against Oberto, and almost knocked Oberto to the ground. Coupard's notoriety is still quite deterrent. No one on the Spurs dared to compete with him in the interior, so they had to focus on the offensive. Putting it on the outside, but the Sonics' outside defense is not bad, the Spurs didn't get many opportunities, and at this time Stephen strengthened their own offense, the Spurs had to focus on defense, but even so , can not limit Stephen.

At this time, the Sonics slowly began to take the lead, but as Tony Parker returned to the court, he began to force Jarrett Jack with his footsteps. Such a first-line point guard is still slightly inferior in strength, and he is constantly scored by Tony Parker in singles.

At this time, people miss Earl Watson. When he was there, at least in this position, Tony Parker did not score so easily. It is a pity that he is still sitting on the sidelines in a suit.

However, they worked hard on their side, and Stephen was not idle on the other side. He and Yao Ming played a two-person game on the court, and Yao Ming was pulled out to play a pick-and-roll with him. Stephen's threat was naturally greater than Yao Ming's, and they all blocked at the basket. Waiting for Stephen to come over, who knows that Stephen suddenly gave the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming made a mid-range shot and threw the ball into the basket. The two even passed each other three times before Stephen sent the ball into the basket. .

The Spurs originally expected Amy Uduka to defend Stephen, but he didn't have much time on the court, and then went down with three fouls. All three fouls were committed by Stephen alone, and he basically didn't attack Stephen. As a result of any restrictions, he had to be replaced by Brooks Bowen again. As a result, Bruce Bowen almost slapped Stephen. Naturally, Stephen would not be polite to him and immediately fought back.

It was precisely because they couldn't take advantage of it that the actions of both sides were a little restrained later. You must know that if you are injured now, it will be cheaper for other teams. The rookie George Hill who had just been sent up started to show off. He made two consecutive three-pointers, and then hit Russell Westbrook with a two-plus-one. Du Fei, who hadn't played much on the court, suddenly revealed his three-point skills, and scored three three-pointers in a row, widening the gap again.

As the main players of both sides began to return to the field, it is supposed that the Spurs should chase points at this time, because it will be too late when they do not chase points, but it was the Supersonics who showed their power first. Stephen sent three assists in a row, And it was three different people who received the assist.

However, the Spurs are also not to be outdone. Tony Parker and Ginobili took turns to break through, aiming at the current weakness of the Sonics defense. Although their scoring is very efficient, they are not too big to catch up with the score. help, because while they were scoring, the Sonics were scoring.

In the end, the Sonics defeated the San Antonio Spurs by four points. As soon as the game ended, the peaceful atmosphere returned to the players of the two teams. However, since both sides had to start immediately, there was no entertainment.

In the words of the media, the two sides conducted playoff rehearsals in advance, and the Supersonics finally won slightly, but they don’t know that Stephen is not very satisfied with the current status of the team, and his teammates still haven’t done a good job. Prepare for a tough battle, and if there are any problems at the same time, you still pin your hopes on yourself.
