Chapter 936 Who is to blame after losing

Stephen scored 25 points in the second half with free throws alone, missed three free throws, and made a total of 28 free throws. None of these free throws was a two-plus-one free throw. The Los Angeles Lakers fouled very early. It was a foul to let Stephen take a shot. In the end, even Trevor Ariza was fouled. A total of four players, Lamar Odom, Josh Powell, Sasha Vujacic and Trevor Ariza, were fouled. At the cost of leaving the field, the Lakers only won the game by six points.

In the end, Stephen also got his fifth personal foul on Kobe Bryant. In the second half of the fourth quarter, it was basically a foul battle between the two sides, because the Los Angeles Lakers fouled Stephen frequently. The Sonics' offense couldn't be played, and the Sonics naturally fouled the Lakers, which made the Lakers' offense also unable to play.

However, because they were too far behind, in the end when the Los Angeles Lakers were really vulnerable, Stephen made a super long three-pointer and then an offensive dunk to narrow the point difference to less than 1 minutes. At this time, there was less than [-] minute left in the game. Time is running out, but Kobe Bryant is also defending both Stephen and Kevin Durant, leaning in the air and throwing the ball into the hoop, and then after Stephen scores a mid-range jumper, Kobe Bryant scores again, only That left the Sonics with [-] seconds left.

It's a pity that due to too many fouls before, there are no fouls and timeouts available at this time, so even if Stephen is not reconciled, he can only accept the result of failure in the end. Some media wanted to interview Stephen when he left the field, but Stephen didn't. Reject, the alliance will be fined if you refuse the interview, but for the media interviews, Stephen always nodded and smiled in response, without saying a word, Stephen left after the other party asked two questions, and Stephen was not interested in dealing with them at this time.

Back in the locker room, Coppard and Russell Westbrook carried it again because they competed for the faucet in the shower. This can’t be said to be Russell Westbrook’s fault. A very talkative guy, but Coupard insisted on occupying two faucets because of his huge body, and he insisted on not giving way to Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook's talkativeness does not mean that he is easy to bully. Without fear of the difference in stature between the two, he stood in front of Coupard with his chest upright. [

"Boy, what's the matter, you still want to try two things with me." Coupard reached out and touched Russell Westbrook's face lightly. Russell Westbrook's face was flushed with anger, but with his face color , No matter how much you practice, you can’t see it. He stretched out to Coppard. Of course, with his height, he could reach Coupard’s chest at most. Big mouth laughing, at this moment Stephen came in from the outside, saw the two people like this, immediately scolded: "What's the trouble, why are you not so majestic on the field, are you happy to lose the game?"

When this voice came out, not only the two of them, but also the other people who were talking or fighting stopped, only the sound of water hitting the floor was still sizzling, Stephen glared at Cooper De, Coppard immediately gave the faucet to Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook gave Stephen a fearful look, didn't dare to say anything, and immediately took a shower. He entered the Sonics, Stephen has always been a villain, but he has forgotten Stephen's reputation. As a student at the University of California, Los Angeles, he has heard many stories about Stephen. Dare to say anything in front of Stephen.

It’s nothing to lose the game. The reason why this game was lost was that apart from the fact that the opponent’s psychological warfare and foul warfare were pretty good, there were also a lot of factors in the team’s underestimation of the enemy because of the first game, so this It took the Lakers a game to win so easily.

Stephen is very dissatisfied with this. No matter who the opponent is in the finals, it will definitely not be much more difficult than the division final against the Los Angeles Lakers. Among the Eastern teams, Stephen is most afraid of the Boston Celtics, because Their maturity, experience and defense, who knew they would lose to the Orlando Magic in the semifinals. As for the two teams that entered the Eastern Conference finals, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Orlando Magic, they have certain flaws , Stephen is not very worried.

Moreover, the Los Angeles Lakers are the most direct enemy in front of them, and it is particularly unfavorable for the Sonics to lose a home game, so after returning, Stephen was a little angry at his actions today, and he shouldn't take that risk. In the case of close strength, one game may determine who can enter the championship.

When Stephen got angry, no one dared to say anything, and they all hurriedly finished what they were doing. Before leaving, Stephen called everyone together and said: "We lost in today's game, it doesn't matter, there are more As for the five games, as long as we can win three games, to be honest, before playing against the Los Angeles Lakers, I didn’t expect to play the seventh game. I think with our strength, we can get the result in six games at most Opponents, but now it seems that we may not win until the seventh game."

"So, in the following games, we must play completely according to the tactics, and no one is allowed to override the tactics." This is naturally Stephen's jingle to Russell Westbrook, but Stephen didn't say much, and then The topic changed: "There is no room for any slack in defense, and we must not underestimate our opponents psychologically. Let me reiterate that our goal this season is the championship. We must work hard for this goal. One more thing, you have other thoughts, I can understand, you want a big contract, you want the main position, you can do it, show your performance, I am watching, the team is also watching, don't be afraid, yours Contributions will not be buried. However, your personal goals must be consistent with the goals of the team, so that the team will give you what you need. Remember, the team is a whole and will not sacrifice for the benefit of one person For the overall interests, if someone dares to do this, I will definitely not let it go."

When Stephen spoke, everyone stood there and listened. After Stephen finished speaking, he turned around and left. The game lasted for more than two hours, and so much time wasted in taking a bath and talking, and now it’s time In the early hours of the morning, Stephen was driving his own Ford Mustang GT500, galloping on the streets of Seattle at a speed of [-] per hour. A jng car chased after him with its horn beeping and its lights flashing, but they were only driving a Ford Crown Victoria. They couldn't catch up with Stephen at all, and Stephen would throw them far away as soon as he accelerated, and he couldn't see anything.

By the time they summoned the helicopter, Stephen had already driven the car to a bar and stopped. Otherwise, Stephen might really compete with the helicopter for speed. When he arrived at the bar, Stephen would not use alcohol to drown his sorrows, and would not go to get it. The wine jng went to vent himself, but just ordered a cup of Long Island iced tea, found a corner and sat down to sip it slowly. Under the dim light, Stephen's eyes shone brightly, which attracted several The woman stopped, but it was a pity that Stephen was not interested. After rejecting many people, he finally got clean.

Stephen knew that the Long Island Iced Tea provided by this bar was improved. The original vodka in it was replaced with Jamaican dark rum. It was only enough for Stephen to anesthetize himself a little. After drinking, Stephen sat for a while and saw that no one was watching him, and there were no disguised media personnel around, so Stephen left with confidence.

Stephen didn't want people to spread the news that he was drinking to drown his sorrows after losing, so he used the fastest speed to get rid of everyone's pursuit of him, and after enjoying a moment of peace and tranquility, Stephen drove at 120 Back home, enjoy a beautiful night.

On the second day, after Stephen woke up, Coppard drove over as soon as he finished his homework and training, and excitedly showed Stephen a bunch of newspapers. Stephen picked it up and flipped through it, almost all of which were criticisms Russell Westbrook is accusing Russell Westbrook of being the culprit for losing yesterday's game, especially the local media in Seattle, who mercilessly described "selfishness" and "violence". Labels such as dryness" and "no awareness of the overall situation" were attached to Russell Westbrook, but they forgot that in the two days before yesterday, they also unanimously praised Russell Westbrook for his outstanding ability and passion for playing.

"Why are you showing me this? If he learns how to play on this team, he will be our teammate for the next few years. If he can't learn how to play, he won't be able to stay on this team. You said, don't take the media reports seriously, they are all bitches, and it doesn't make any sense to read these things." Stephen threw the newspaper aside and reprimanded Coupard mercilessly.

Facing Stephen, Coppard didn't know what it means to be angry at all, and immediately picked up the newspaper and put it in the trash can. Stephen didn't treat him as an outsider. When Coppard went to mow the grass for himself, he cooked it himself After breakfast, the two of them drove to the team. Although there was no training this morning, the coaching staff had a meeting that Stephen needed to attend. As for Coupard, he was acting as the younger brother, acting as the driver and bodyguard for Stephen.
