Chapter 945 Start to lead

Stephen showed his desire to attack the basket from the very beginning. He scored the first nine points of the Sonics alone, and Kobe Bryant also scored six points in a row, but it is obvious that, Kobe Bryant is not as strong as Stephen in terms of scoring desire, but today his teammates are not very strong, so he can only play by himself.

At this time, after Stephen attracted the defense, he passed the ball to Yao Ming under the basket without any warning. As a professional player, as long as he is on the court, he has to concentrate all the time. Yao Ming is very good at this point. Even if the offense in front of Stephen was all done by himself, he has never let down his vigilance. After getting the ball, he jumped up and raised his hand to put the ball into the basket. The two points are like eating and drinking. easy.

The Lakers didn't expect Stephen to pass the ball at all. Who would have thought that Stephen would pass the ball to others just now? Stephen passed the ball to Kevin Durant again. Although Kevin Durant missed the shot, Kurt Thomas grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Stephen again. After Stephen received the ball, he shot immediately. The ball flew lightly, flying directly into the basket as if it had no weight at all.

Eleven points, and at this time the first quarter of the game has not yet passed half, Stephen's strong performance in this game naturally attracted Phil Jackson's attention, but the defense of Stephen has already paid attention to the whole team's sake , What else can I do, and use fouls to stop Stephen like in the previous two games. Let’s not talk about it, it’s too early, and secondly, he was warned by the league. Phil Jackson is not a person who cares about the pressure of the league. The manager should have a headache. From the bottom of his heart, he is also a victory supremacist. He can say whatever method he uses, but it depends on whether the method is worth it.

Although this game is still at home, he also knows that the referee will not favor his side as much as in the last game, and the use of foul tactics will not be worth the loss. Phil Jackson has studied the general defensive methods many times. If there is any result He will not adopt such foul tactics. In his opinion, to some extent, Stephen is even more difficult to defend than Michael Jordan. It is undeniable that Michael Jordan's offensive talent and talent are higher than Stephen's, but Stephen is stronger in terms of strength. Michael Jordan's advantage is not comparable to that of Michael Jordan, and under the current rules, both Michael Jordan and Stephen are difficult to defend, so Phil Jackson has no good way, and can only hope that Kobe Bryant will perform well in this game. Be able to be a little stronger and compete with Stephen. [

When Kobe Bryant faced defensive pressure, his performance was not as good as that of Stephen. In the playoffs and even the finals, Stephen's performance was almost the same as that of him in the regular season, and sometimes he even played better, just like his The performance in the two finals of the Spurs was very against the sky, and it would not work for ordinary people.

Michael Jordan's data in the finals in the first year was 31 points, 50.00 points, 32 rebounds, 40.00 assists, [-] steals, [-] blocks, and [-]% shooting from the field. In the finals, his performance was only slightly inferior to that of Michael Jordan, with only [-] points, [-] points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals, [-] blocks and a shooting percentage of [-]%. Leading in two statistics, assists and shooting percentage are far behind Michael Jordan, but you must know that his role in the Spurs is incomparable with Jordan, and he was only a rookie at the time.

At that time, Michael Jordan was already a veteran in the league for many years, and he had already entered the golden age of a player, while Stephen, like Magic Johnson, entered the Finals as a rookie and won the Finals Most Valuable Player , From this point of view, Stephen is obviously higher than Michael Jordan.

Therefore, Phil Jackson has never underestimated Stephen, no matter how successful your tactics are, no matter how perfect your game strategy is, when you meet a player, all of these are meaningless, and Stephen is like this He has the ability to break everything, but this season, Stephen seems to be a little quiet, Phil Jackson doesn't want to tease his strong will to win, but now it seems that he still fails to do so.

Judging from the time in this half of the quarter, Stephen has recovered the sharpness of the gods and Buddhas who blocked and killed the Buddha last season. Maybe it has not fully reached that level, but it is enough to make Phil Jackson more vigilant. At this time, the instruction he issued was to tell Kobe Bryant not to follow Trevor Ariza to flank Stephen, because he knew that Kobe Bryant's physical fitness was not enough for that, let him defend Stephen , can only exhaust his physical strength early and affect his offensive performance.

Kobe Bryant, who was freed from the defense, immediately showed his extraordinary offensive power, sent the ball into the basket three times in a row, and overtook the score by two points in one fell swoop. Here, Stephen's two passes None of the balls could be effectively converted into assists, and Stephen's own shots also failed to work. The situation seemed to have been greatly reversed.

The Lakers swept away the slump just now and took the lead again. The fans at the scene were the first to get excited, shouting Kobe Bryant's name in unison, but Stephen immediately used two consecutive three-pointers to overwhelm their enthusiasm. Kobe Bryant also made a shot from outside the three-point line, chasing the score to only one point, but Stephen suddenly went to the basket, causing a foul by Andrew Bynum, and then made two free throws to close the point difference. Pulled to three points.

Stephen has always maintained a strong momentum of attacking the basket. Whenever the Lakers tried their best to catch up with the score, he would stand up in time to score consecutively and widen the point difference again. Once the lead reached a certain level, Stephen It will start to take into account the scoring of teammates. This is the way the Seattle Supersonics played last season. In this season, Stephen has rarely done this, but has turned more behind the scenes, focusing on planning and organization.

The Lakers really want to change this situation, but it is not so easy. They can't stop Stephen from scoring. Similarly, their offense is closely defended by the Sonics. Many times the chances of offense are not very good, but they have to Take a shot, so the hit rate is guaranteed naturally, and you can only rely on Kobe Bryant's super personal ability to score.

While strengthening his own scoring, Stephen will inevitably lower his defense against Kobe Bryant. At the same time, he does not think that Kobe Bryant can compete with himself for one night. At this time, Stephen has no big picture in his eyes, no opponents, There are only baskets and scores in his eyes.

Stephen really likes the feeling that he doesn't need to consider his teammates. He doesn't need to wrong himself for some unreasonable reasons, but he can do whatever he wants. This makes Stephen feel free from any restrictions and restraints. Unlike before, he always Playing under a lot of pressure is extremely relaxing. The feeling of only seeing the basket in your eyes and only basketball in your heart is so comfortable. It is so comfortable that Stephen really wants to cry to the sky.

Driven by this emotion, Stephen's performance became more and more unrestricted, and his offensive methods became more and more unrestrained, without any rules. In many cases, he even went straight to the defense. Even though there was a defense in front of him, Stephen still rushed In the past, sometimes it was able to find loopholes that no one could find, and then drilled in to score.

The more free and easy Stephen's performance is, as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, as unpredictable as a powerful and unconstrained style, Phil Jackson's face becomes darker and darker. He is used to many miraculous performances. He doesn't know that Stephen has entered a mysterious and mysterious place. It's a wonderful state. In this state, Stephen's performance is unpredictable at all. This game is difficult to play. Phil Jackson intends to use foul tactics to interrupt Stephen's scoring rhythm, but he is afraid that it will not have any effect. .

However, it is not Phil Jackson's style to look forward and backward. The game is not changing rapidly, and one problem cannot be considered too much. It happened that Trevor Ariza got his second personal foul because of defending Stephen, so he called Sasha Vujacic, Tell him, after going up, do everything possible to prevent Stephen from scoring.

At this time, he is not afraid of any censure from the league. He only needs to win the game. If he can’t win the game, it’s useless to say anything. He is not a stickler. Disappointed, he knew what to do.

Seeing Sasha Vujacic play, the Lakers fans naturally cheered, but the Sonics fans booed again and again, although they were just in front of the big screen, in front of the TV, for a handsome young man, super The fans of the Sonics didn't like it at all.

"That guy is very difficult to deal with today, be careful." When the two people passed sideways, Trevor Ariza couldn't help but remind him that he is not a person who likes to foul, but today when he faced Stephen, sometimes it was a non-foul No, this is still the situation where the referee whistled more loosely today. If he was a little stricter, he should have left the game long ago.

Sasha Vujacic nodded, but didn't respond verbally. Don't look at him with a pretty face, he is a complete actionist, not a verbalist, and he will do it without hesitation when it's time to do it. .

When Stephen saw him coming up, he naturally knew what the Lakers were up to. This guy was very dirty defensively and dared to attack, so Stephen immediately raised his vigilance when he saw him coming up. Sure enough, the first time he came up, he used his hands I scratched hard under Stephen's forearm, but Stephen didn't make him feel better. He flicked his arm casually and hit him on the shoulder. Anyway, the referee's penalty scale is very loose today, so Stephen doesn't need to worry about being caught , So far, Stephen hasn't fouled a single one. [

Sasha Vujacic has a clear gap with Trevor Ariza in terms of real defensive ability, but this guy dared to attack, and he dared to attack, secretly attacked Stephen three times in three rounds, although Stephen also rewarded him twice times, but it also affected Stephen's offense, allowing Stephen to only hit one ball.

Phil Jackson laughed unkindly below, Sasha Vujacic has such a role, if Stephen ignores him and just scores by himself, Sasha Vujacic's small moves are actually useless, but if Stephen insists If he cares about revenge, it will affect his state, so Phil Jackson is happy to see Stephen's revenge.

However, Stephen soon understood and began to focus on his performance on the court, ignoring Sasha Vujacic's small moves, but Sasha Vujacic was very persistent. Stephen ignored him, but he intensified and increased his strength. The harassment of Stephen.

Stephen couldn't bear the breath, and he quickly found an opportunity. During a breakthrough, he suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Sasha Vujacic. Sasha Vujacic didn't look good, but he knew Stephen The force of the collision was so strong, and it was so obvious that it was aimed at him. It looked like retaliation, and the strength was different from ordinary unintentional collisions. He hurriedly backed away, trying to avoid Stephen's collision.

But he only took a step back, and his back bumped into a huge object. Although it was not too hard, it was very stable, making his idea of ​​retreating impossible to realize. At this time, Stephen had already slammed into it hard, and he was about to When it hit, Stephen made an evasive maneuver, sideways crashing into Sasha Vujacic and Andrew Bynum.

Poor Sasha Vujacic, with Stephen's strength, no one can bear it if he hits it with all his strength. If the back is empty, it will be better. At most, he will fly out. There was Andrew Bynum, who had already weighed 280 pounds. Although Stephen slammed into it with great force, he still didn't have the ability to knock two people into the air together. The two of them also fell to the ground and rolled into gourds.

According to the current rules of the league, the defender cannot move and defend directly in front of the attacker, but can only exert pressure on the side, and Sasha Vujacic is obviously in front of Stephen, but Stephen made a sideways move when he hit him. The action is barely passable, but when defending outside the reasonable collision zone, the defender must stand firm and form a cylinder, and Sasha Vujacic is obviously moving, and Sasha Vujacic should be given a block foul.

But we must also consider that this is Los Angeles after all, and it is the home court of the Lakers. Faced with such a situation that can be judged or not, if the Lakers are sentenced to a foul, the fans will definitely not accept it, and the game has stopped. I want to turn a blind eye No way, the referees considered it again and again, and decided to give Stephen an offensive foul. Anyway, the first quarter was almost over, and Stephen hadn't made a foul yet.

Stephen was not mentally prepared for being sentenced to a foul, so he didn't intend to explain anything to the referee, and raised his hand to accept it. When he was in high spirits, Sasha Vujacic, who had just stood up, suddenly felt something extra in the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and wiped it. The bright blood color was so dazzling under the bright light. There was a sharp pain, and then his eyes went black, and he fell straight back.

If the team doctor hadn't hugged him nearby, even a healthy person would have been thrown out, not to mention that he had problems in the first place. The team doctor was very experienced and touched his chest, and he immediately suffered. Face said to his assistant: "It's so cruel, at least two ribs are broken, let the ambulance prepare, then call the hospital, hurry up."

When he told Phil Jackson about Sasha Vujacic's injury, Phil Jackson also smiled wryly. I really didn't expect it. I guess even Stephen didn't think about this injury, because he is shaking over there now. As for the head, it is estimated that his physical condition is not very good. After all, he, as the party involved, will not be able to suffer from such a severe impact.

Stephen refused the team doctor's request for a further detailed examination. In fact, he was far from being as serious as he showed, but if he hit him like that, if he didn't have any abnormalities at all, the Lakers fans would definitely be dissatisfied, and even the referees would be disappointed. He would be psychologically inclined to the other side, so Stephen pretended to be injured a little bit.

Even after the game restarted, Earl Watson completed a steal from Derek Fisher and then passed the ball to himself. After Stephen got the ball, his shot was deliberately sideways when he got the ball. It was used a little less, but it turned out to be a three-point shot, which made the Lakers fans very happy.

However, the ball was still snatched by Yao Ming, the ball still belonged to the Sonics, and there was no loss. Yao Ming forced the ball into the basket with a small hook from Andrew Bynum, allowing the team The lead came to five points.

Kobe Bryant assisted Derek Fisher to hit a three-pointer, making up for the mistake just now, but Stephen also assisted Kevin Durant to hit a three-pointer, and Kobe Bryant passed the ball to Andrew Baim again, unfortunately Andrew Bynum didn't live up to expectations, and he didn't put in the basket that was within easy reach, and Yao Ming blocked the ball.

But Kobe Bryant picked up the ball as fast as he could, and he scored two points with his own shot. After Stephen got to the basket, he handed the ball to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming passed it to Kobe Bryant. Kurt Thomas, made by Kurt Thomas.

The two teams played two more rounds without scoring, and the first quarter was over. After a short break, as soon as the Sonics with a five-point advantage arrived on the field, Stephen suddenly slammed into the corner. The position catches and shoots, and then Pau Gasol suddenly jumped up when serving the ball, intercepted the ball from it, and passed it to Earl Watson, Earl Watson scored a layup, only 14 In seconds, the Sonics extended their five-point advantage to ten, and Phil Jackson had no choice but to stand up and call a timeout.
