The penalties for the next game became normal, but the Supersonics, who were planning to play conventional tactics, suddenly lost Yao Ming, the core point of the inside. It was a foul, although this foul was indeed Coupard's problem, but in this way, Coupard naturally became timid and did not dare to express himself too much.

However, the Nuggets have always played very tough and active. Although the offensive rhythm is not as fast as the previous game, the efficiency is higher. The Sonics' morale is a bit low because of the setbacks they suffered at the beginning. Driven by Stephen to recover, a very simple collision, Balkman just stepped on Earl Watson's foot, although it didn't look too serious, and Balkman didn't seem to be intentional, but It has had a certain impact on the Sonics.

Under such circumstances, falling behind is naturally inevitable. The point difference gradually expanded from five points to ten points, and then expanded to seventeen points. Two shots were scored, but even so, it only narrowed the point difference to twelve points, and then as the Nuggets scored consecutive shots, they widened the point difference to fifteen points.

It seems that the miraculous Stephen can't reverse the situation of the game today. The fans always forget the pain yesterday. The Nuggets also took the lead in the last game, but it was the Sonics who won the victory in the end , But today, the Sonics launched a counterattack several times, but it has not worked.

The point difference of more than ten points has been maintained, no matter how hard the Sonics played, after Stephen received his third personal foul, Carlesimo replaced him. [

The direct consequence of Stephen's exit is that no one can suppress Billups or Carmelo Anthony, and the indirect consequence is that within 3 minutes, the point difference was suddenly widened to 24 points. You must know that when Stephen was there, No matter how fierce the Nuggets' offense is, Stephen has always been able to maintain a point difference of no more than [-] points. Although he has no ability to narrow the point difference, he can keep the point difference from expanding.

While defending the opponent's two most outstanding players with almost his own strength, Stephen also used offense to barely keep up with the opponent's rise. It can be said that Stephen has achieved the ultimate he can do, few in the league. There are players who can be so dominant on both ends of the offense and defense, or show such a strong ability at the same time, but Steph did it.

But relying on his ability alone, it is impossible to defeat the united Nuggets team. At this time, he needs his teammates to stand up and help him share certain pressure or responsibilities. It is a pity that today's Supersonic team does not have this person. Yao Ming was caught in a foul crisis, and he was called an offensive foul by the referee not long after he came on the court. He wanted to communicate with the referee in person, but before he could speak, the referee had already made an awe-inspiring look , so that he did not dare to be so impulsive.

Kevin Durant was a little fuzzy in the first quarter, and his attention was not very focused throughout the game. The feel of the second quarter improved, but the turnovers increased. The core, but he couldn't afford it.

Kevin Durant is not good at defense. After Stephen left the court, the Sonics’ perimeter defense plummeted, exposing the team’s lack of defensive players on the front line. , are not defensive players, and Russell Westbrook appears on the shooting guard, there is no problem in offense, but in defense, the disadvantages of height and strength cannot be made up for with hard work.

So when Stephen stepped off the court, the team's perimeter defense immediately dropped several levels. It turned out that the Sonics could keep from being pulled apart by paying equal attention to offense and defense. Encountered more shocks, so Yao Ming was forced to leave the field after a while because of four fouls.

When Yao Ming stepped off the field, the team was even more defeated. It was less than 2 minutes before the end of the first half, but in the 2 minutes, the Sonics did not score a point. The Golden team also had a little problem. After leading by a big score, JR Smith began to shoot randomly. In 2 minutes, the Nuggets only scored five points and widened the point difference to 29 points. The referee blew the signal for the end of the first half. whistle.

In the locker room, the Supersonic team was dull, only the sound of heavy panting filled the locker room, and the tension and uneasiness were constantly spreading. No one thought that before the game, they were still sweeping the opponent. The dream, but the reality is that the opponent is almost [-] points ahead. The gap between the dream and the reality is revenge for their underestimation of the opponent, and it is also a great irony.

Stephen was lying there, asking the masseuse to rub the muscles on his legs. His calf felt a little sore. This is not a good sign. It means that the muscles are already tired, so he reminded himself like this, but he has already done his best. I went there, how could it be labeled like this.

Feeling that the last game was difficult enough, he didn't expect that this game would be even more difficult than the last game, and it was so difficult that it made people feel overwhelmed. Stephen closed his eyes. He didn't want to say anything at this time, because he didn't know What should I say, I scolded my teammates for their poor performance, but they didn't show any obvious performance. Blame the referee for biasing the opponent. You must know that this is the opponent's home field. It is normal for a few fouls to favor the opponent occasionally, and you have to argue with the referee. , will only give up the victory to the opponent.

"We still have to find a way to win the game. The 28-point gap is not insurmountable. Let us complete this task that is difficult for ordinary people. Just like the last game, we still have to start with defense and don't give up. Don't be discouraged." At the end of the intermission, Stephen sat up and clapped his hands and said to everyone, no matter what, we can't give up the game. The [-]-point difference is not an insurmountable natural danger, but it requires all It is right for the whole team to work hard together, but looking at the confusion and bewilderment in the eyes of his teammates, Stephen is not too confident.

After returning to the field, the Sonics started from defense and restricted the offense of the Nuggets. At the same time, Stephen patiently grasped every attack of his own and did not waste every opportunity. Although the game was very tiring and the rhythm was very slow , but the point difference was indeed held, and it was not expanded by the Nuggets' first wave of offense.

Then the point difference began to shrink slowly. Usually, one side scored three points, the other side scored two points, one side missed a shot, and the other side missed a free throw. The degree of reduction was simply not enough to recover to more than ten points before the end of the game.

When the Supersonic team put on an inside combination like Coupard and Yao Ming, they briefly gained a certain advantage. Coupled with Stephen's scoring, the point difference was narrowed to [-] points, but at this time, with the Lupus returned to the court, and a breakthrough caused Yao Ming's fifth personal foul.

The referee didn't know what was going on today, and he targeted Yao Ming very clearly. Carlesimo was so cruel at this time, he didn't replace Yao Ming, and continued to let him stay on the field. After a few minutes, there was no abnormality, and it seemed that he was desperate. As a result, the referee did not dare to drive a star player like Yao Ming off the field, but less than 20 seconds into the fourth quarter, Nenehilario's simple hook made Yao Ming, who was trying to block the block. Thug foul.

Faced with such a biased penalty, the entire Sonics team surrounded the referee, but the referee remained unmoved, insisted on his own penalty, and signaled Yao Ming to leave the court quickly. As soon as Stephen questioned him, he acted like He threatened Stephen with a technical foul gesture.

Shit, now Stephen is really angry, and dared to threaten himself, Stephen was about to continue talking, Kurt Thomas, who was replaced by Yao Ming, came over and hugged him, and at the same time reached out to cover Stephen's mouth At the same time, he signaled others to tangle with the referee so that he would not pay attention to Stephen.

"It's you who said don't give up. Don't you think we have no hope of winning? Have you forgotten that you already have a technical foul? Staying on the court is more effective than impulsiveness. You didn't say that Is it?" Kurt Thomas kept asking Stephen back after pulling Stephen aside.

"Okay, I know what I should do, thank you, Kurt, it's really great to have an old player like you on the team." Stephen let out a long breath, calmed down his mood, indeed I was a little impulsive just now, but fortunately Kurt Thomas came forward, otherwise I would have to end myself. [

Regardless of whether this game can win the final victory, I must stay on the court to put pressure on the Nuggets, force them to their best ability, and see what kind of fighting power they can exert, so that they can fight in the next game. There is a clear judgment in.

Although I am a bit dissatisfied with Kurt Thomas's competitive attitude, but thinking about it is right, he is already nearly 40 years old and wants him to work as hard as a 30-year-old. How is it possible, but I have too high demands on him Now, just like Robert Horry back then, he directly said that he could only contribute 15 minutes of high-quality games, so that he would not blame him.

As soon as the game returned to normal, as soon as Nene Hilario finished his free throw, Stephen ran from one end of the court to the other like lightning with the ball, and scored two points with a light layup.

But back jr Smith made a direct shot, Stephen made another layup, jr Smith received a pass from Billups and hit a three-pointer, Stephen missed the shot, but Coupard grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kevin Durant , Kevin Durant scored a shot, and JR Smith came back and continued to hit a three-pointer.

After Kevin Durant missed a shot, Stephen switched to defending JR Smith himself, but JR Smith shot and scored again against Stephen's defense. No one could do anything about such a heaven-defying touch. Stephen continued to defend him for the second time. The result was a foul.

This foul did not dispel the Sonics' will to fight, but it encouraged the Nuggets. Billups' resolute breakthrough caused another foul by Coupard. The referee took special care of the Sonics' inside players today. , everyone has spoken.

"I hope you will be the referee in the next game." Stephen said to the referee with a smile when he passed by. When we got to our home court, let's see if you still dare to brag like this. In the end, the referee just smiled. Not to mention.

In the end, the Sonics still lost the game 120-140 to [-]-[-], and were pulled back by the Denver Nuggets. Although Stephen personally scored [-] plus points again, he couldn't be happier.
