"Boom", after the game ended and returned to the locker room, Stephen kicked the massage table over without saying a word. You must know that this massage table was specially customized to suit their height, especially Yao Ming's height. It weighs more than 500 pounds, and it is made of decades-old birch wood, which is strong and strong. When Stephen stepped over, the massage table turned over as if he had no resistance. Just like existence, you must know that Stephen is wearing basketball shoes on his feet. When he kicks on such a hard wood, the protection ability of basketball shoes is not enough. The team doctor rushed over to take off Stephen's shoes for inspection.

"No, we played very depressed in today's game. I don't mean to blame everyone, and the responsibility is not that person's, but as a team with the goal of the championship, such a state is absolutely unacceptable. , I hope all of us have to face the reality that we are now in the semifinals, we are only two series away from the championship, and against the Denver Nuggets, we are already ahead, as long as we win one more game, we can win the opponent , Entering the Western Conference Finals, why do we give them so many chances, we should be more determined than them."

"Maybe many people are still playing the playoffs as a regular season, thinking that we can play so well in the regular season, and there is no need to work so hard, but it is different. Every team we met in the playoffs Both are better than the regular season, yes, we swept the Houston Rockets, but don't forget that the two games we played in Houston were also very difficult, let alone the team we are facing now We have defeated us three times in the regular season, so we must not underestimate the enemy, but we must not forget that we have defeated them three times in a row and achieved a [-]-[-] lead, so we have no possibility of defeating them, it is just that the two sides In the situation where the strength is relatively close, we don't fight as hard as others, we just fight desperately."

"So I hope that we can win at the Pepsi Center, the home of the Denver Nuggets, and don't let the opportunity slip through our fingertips, and don't give the other party a chance to return to our home court. You know the tiebreaker It is a more brutal game, we want to play more easily, we have to eliminate them in six games, don't give them more chances, do you think it's okay?"

Stephen's expression was very cold, with a smile on his face, and his tone was not harsh, but seeing him kick the massage table just now, everyone knew the anger in his heart, and everyone knew that it was a matter of provoking Stephen at this time. It was very unwise. Facing Stephen's gaze, everyone responded with firm expressions. [

A boss must have a certain amount of authority, and authority can never be established simply by being generous and benevolent. What they only have is the power of the boss, but not majesty. Power is external and a status that cannot be challenged, but majesty comes from the heart and is obedience wholeheartedly.

Stephen was a bit too lenient this season. At the same time, he was able to accomplish many things and also hurt the enthusiasm of his teammates. This made his teammates feel much less responsible and mission-oriented, so they could only exert their due combat effectiveness and not be able to do so. Outbursts, because they always feel that if they can't do something by themselves, they can just leave it to Stephen, instead of thinking about solving this problem by themselves.

This is the reason why when the Sonics encountered today's situation, no one could stand up to help Stephen. Yao Ming was very active and hardworking, but he was just an inside player. Without support from the outside, he could only play The defensive end played his role, but the Nuggets didn't give him this opportunity today, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Kevin Durant lowered his head there, unable to lie down on the ground to see the regretful expression on his face. He said that he worked hard tonight, but it would be false to say that he used all his strength. When the team was in trouble, although he was also going all out, but in essence, only he knew that he had reservations about this kind of all-out effort, because he always felt in his heart that the team played better and enjoyed the game. Stephen was always the only one in everything, especially when Stephen won the best defensive player and the most valuable player in the regular season again this season, and entered the first defense, but he basically got nothing, he felt a little bit aggrieved.

But at this time, after seeing Stephen's anger bursting out and hearing everything Stephen said, he felt that most of the honors might belong to Stephen if the team won, but other people could also enjoy it, but if When the team lost, it was everyone who was criticized or blamed, especially when Stephen performed well and tried his best. There were not many people who blamed him, but they, the right-hand men, were the best targets for blame.

At the same time, if the team can win the championship, as a member of the championship team, everyone will benefit. Although the main honor is still Stephen, before he is unable to challenge Stephen's position, he should put the interests of the team In the first place, the team's success is also his own success, because he is also an important part of the team. Thinking of this, Kevin Durant hates his own performance in these two or three games.

It is impossible for Stephen’s words to touch everyone’s heartstrings, but it is enough to touch a few people, because there are only a few people who can play in each game, and some people can actively express themselves without this, like Yao Ming , Coupard, Serge Ibaka, and Earl Watson are all like this. These are basically Stephen's fixed team. In addition, although Russell Westbrook has some problems in his style of play, his attitude towards the game But there is no problem at all, and so is Jarrett Jack.

Although Du Fei worked very hard among these people, his shortcomings of poor defense were almost magnified in the playoffs. However, in the playoffs, as the intensity of the game increased, his weak point of confrontation was not only easy to become the attack point of the opponent's attack, but even his good three-point shooting rate dropped due to the confrontation, so the game was very difficult. The more intense, the less playing time he has. Like today's game, he was replaced by Carlesimo after less than 2 minutes of playing, because he not only missed all two shots, but was also caught by the opponent on him. It was broken into two.

Speaking of the past, the team didn't care about his defensive problems, as long as he can make the ball, but now he can't even make the ball, there is no way to let him play, if it is not for the playoffs. After the first round of competition is submitted, no changes can be made, and Carlesimo is really ready to change.

What is very strange is that Serge Ibaka, as a rookie, in the playoffs, his playing time has not decreased, but has increased significantly. This is mainly because of his outstanding performance. In the fourth position, whether he cooperates with Yao Ming or Coupard, he can make up for their shortcomings, and Kurt Thomas just lacks physical strength, so his playing time has increased.

After Stephen finished speaking, he went to take a shower. As soon as he entered, other people heard a "bang" inside, and something fell to the ground. Someone happened to see it and told everyone secretly that Stephen was turning on the tap There seemed to be something wrong with the faucet, so Stephen turned the faucet off and threw it on the ground.

It seems that he was really angry today. Everyone waited outside. After Stephen washed and changed his clothes, someone went in to take a shower. But after he came out, Stephen had no expression on his face and called everyone. After greeting, he left alone.

On the second day, the team began to study the countermeasures for the sixth game. In fact, the Supersonic team was wronged if they lost the fifth game. There was no problem with the strategy, but they did not follow the Nuggets' play Changes change, and the Nuggets are indeed playing harder than the Sonics, so it is inevitable to fall behind.

In the sixth game, what the Sonics decided was to maintain a certain degree of defense, strengthen the team's offense, respond to all changes with the same, and use strength to strength. Carlesimo is not a head coach who can flash a flash of light. , he has no tricks, only tactics.

For the team's offense, Carlesimo made adjustments on the basis of the original one. Basically, all the tactics that were too cumbersome were removed, focusing on simplicity and speed. If one set fails, you can immediately switch to another tactic. There is no such Especially time-consuming or complex tactics, after a day of rehearsal, the team set off to Denver, and then conducted another tactical training on the morning of the game.

Before the game started, the Pepsi Center Arena was already full of enthusiastic fans, who started shouting early, and came back after winning two consecutive games after falling behind [-]-[-]. Possibly, so they were very excited.

But as soon as the game started, their excitement disappeared like ice and snow being poured with a pot of hot water.
