A player whose scoring ability is not inferior to Kobe, who is more comprehensive and has better physical fitness, should be the core of any team, even if his qualifications are slightly lesser, he should be the core of the team's future. Yes, Stephen didn't see this kind of treatment in the Spurs. If such a player appeared in the trading market, he would be looted by all teams.

This is an article published by the "Los Angeles Times", the newspaper with the largest circulation in the third western region of the United States overnight after the game. At the top of the article, Kobe and Stephen are facing each other with serious expressions. The expressions of the two people are almost the same. The majestic and domineering, of course, this is synthesized after intercepting two different photos.

In addition to touting Stephen, the article is to fight for the treatment Stephen enjoyed in the Spurs. Although Kobe is the darling of Los Angeles fans, don't forget that the Los Angeles Clippers also have a large fan base in Los Angeles. The relationship between the University of California is liked by the fans of the two teams.

Although Stephen only stayed at the University of Southern California for one year, he brought a college basketball national championship to the school team. This championship created the history of school basketball. Looking back at their games that year, we can see that they won How thrilling and difficult it is.

Therefore, the fans in the Los Angeles area have always kept in mind Stephen and his team that won the championship that year. You can see how popular Coupard is among the Clippers fans. Every time an event related to the fans is held, Coupard is a must-attend one.

So the "Los Angeles Times" wrote this, not because of any conspiracy, but purely for Stephen's injustice. The actions of the Los Angeles Lakers made the Spurs wary.

On the morning of the second day of the game, Popovich was enjoying a breakfast of bread and coffee while reading the newspaper with relish, when he suddenly received a call from Buford, and immediately walked aside with a serious face, After chatting with Buford for a few words, he came back to sit there and started to daze.

"What's the matter? Did something happen, Pop?" Carlesimo asked with concern, but Popovich rarely does this, it looks like he's distracted, unless he drank a lot of wine, usually Under the circumstances, it will definitely not be like the current situation, with a little lost look.

"Oh, it's okay, some small things, you eat first, I'm going back to the room." Popovich put down the half-eaten bread, stood up and walked to the room, but at the same time, he put the newspaper under his arm Next, Carlesimo took a similar newspaper from the side and flipped through it, but didn't think there was anything to read.

The matter was so urgent that he didn’t even eat it, but he still wanted to take the newspaper away. It must be something in this newspaper. Carlesimo read it again, and his eyes stayed on the article that defended Stephen. Yes, it must be caused by this reason. He has also participated in several such seminars regarding the controversy over Stephen within the team.

In his view, the team can completely abandon Ginobili and build a new lineup around Duncan and Stephen. The teams that are not suitable for this lineup will be cleaned up. It will take two or three years at most, but they can have more than ten years. Brilliant, when Duncan gets old in a few years, a few years will definitely be enough for the team to find another inside pillar.

As far as he knows, Buford is opposed to breaking the existing system. His attitude is that if Stephen can stay with peace of mind, he will stay. If not, he will be sent away in advance in exchange for better bargaining chips. But Holt and Popovich haven't made up their minds yet, looking at Popovich's back, Carlesimo pondered.

"What did Kupchak tell you?" After returning to the room, Popovich called Buford again and asked about the details.

"He said that we can choose all the players of the Lakers, including Kobe?" Popovich asked Buford, but Buford's answer seemed to dissatisfy him, and his brows immediately frowned. stand up.

"Yes, just tell him directly, how can we trade players like Stephen, let them stop wishful thinking, even if we send them away, we will not send them to the West, especially a team like the Lakers." Povich said angrily into the phone.

Usually, when trading a player that can turn the game around and bring a team upside down, everyone follows a principle, that is, never send such a player to an opponent in the same district, even if the value of the transaction must be It is reciprocal, and it must never be done. This is called capitalism.

Therefore, heavy player transactions are generally from the east to the west, or from the west to the east, and transactions rarely occur in the same area, just like the Lakers sent away O'Neal back then, even if he is old For O'Neill, that can only be sent to the East.

Although Stephen is not a top-paid player, he is already a player of this level in terms of strength. Not to mention that the Spurs have not made up their minds to send Stephen away. The team has always been the sworn enemy of the Spurs.

Popovich asked Buford to urge Holt again on the phone. Now it is time to make a choice. Although there are still nearly two months before the trade deadline, players like Stephen , You can’t wait until then to trade, because who knows, after the trade deadline, if you want to get Stephen, you have to wait until the end of the season, but at that time, everyone will propose an offer contract to Stephen, and then let Stephen choose. , There is no initiative to trade.

After hanging up the phone, Popovich involuntarily fell on the newspaper in front of him. He had just played against the Lakers, and the Lakers came to inquire. Coupled with the publication of this article, the Los Angeles Times is not that kind of place The tabloid, it is a very influential newspaper in the United States, this matter looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Popovich suddenly thought of Stephen's background from this, and thought that Stephen didn't stay in the hotel yesterday afternoon. Could it be that the other party had already contacted Stephen in private, and after getting some guarantee, he couldn't wait Come and ask.

This is very possible. After all, both the Los Angeles and the Lakers are more attractive than the combination of San Antonio and the Spurs. In addition, Stephen’s university here also has a certain relationship and foundation here, so it is normal to choose Los Angeles. But that's the thing.

Although there is no definite evidence, as long as there is a trace of doubt about this kind of thing, it will slowly grow like a seed. Looking at Stephen in the photo, Popovich felt particularly unpleasant, even last night Stephen's excellent performance has also become a proof that he tried his best to show himself to the new owner before the transaction.

However, if a decision on this matter has to be made by Holt, Popovich has to endure it even if he is angry. After finding an excuse and punishing Stephen with a lot of punitive exercises, the anger in his heart was only a little less.

Stephen was fined at a loss. Such a mistake deserves to be punished like this. If you want to say that this kind of training is nothing, the key is that it is unacceptable for no reason, and seeing the eyes of those new players Stephen felt even more uncomfortable with that gloating look and expression.

And Stephen's stubborn attitude further proves his rebelliousness, which makes Popovich even more annoyed, but he also knows that blindly suppressing players like Stephen is not the best way to deal with it. He also said a few words to Stephen.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Stephen asked for leave to go out again, which made him even more unhappy, but Stephen's reasons were also very good, he was going to the brokerage company to do some things, and by the way, he went to the lawyer's office to go through some procedures, which made Popovich even more angry. Oddly suspicious, after agreeing to Stephen, Popovich picked up the phone and called Holt.

Stephen could clearly see the displeasure in Popovich's eyes, but Stephen didn't think too much about it. He thought it might be that Popovich felt that he wanted to rest in the hotel for back-to-back away games, but Stephen couldn't help it. The company can push it away, but the aunt's affairs can't be pushed away. After finally coming back, it's too unreasonable not to even see my aunt.

Who knew that in the evening game, the two teams had just finished the first quarter, and when Stephen was sitting there resting, he heard Popovich's arrangement for Bruce Bowen to replace him in this quarter. Stephen was puzzled Looking at the past, could it be that the coach is still determined and wants to arrange himself to play in the third quarter?

In the first quarter of the game just now, Stephen's performance was not very good. In addition to doing a good job defensively, in terms of offense, Stephen generally gave more opportunities to his teammates because of Chris Kaman's injury. Coupard got into the starting lineup today. He played very excitedly on the field. He scored six points and four rebounds. Stephen only scored four points. He finally won the boss for a while, which made Coupard very happy. , almost walked to the Spurs bench.

Could it be that the coach thinks that his performance is not good, but the coach is not ignorant of his own situation. He has always focused on the second quarter, so Stephen had to sit on the sidelines. Fortunately, the team played in this quarter. It was also very good. In the first quarter, they led the Clippers by seven points, and in the second quarter, they won the Clippers by five teams. In this quarter, Bruce Bowen made two of three three-pointers and one of the mid-range shots. Rather eye-catching.

However, Stephen didn't feel jealous because of this. With his current achievements, he doesn't need to be jealous of players like Bruce Bowen. On Brent Barry.

The Spurs didn't play very well in this quarter and lost two points, but they still had a [-]-point advantage. In the fourth quarter, Popovich finally let Stephen play, but it was a pity that Stephen just blocked the game Shenfo blocked and killed Buddha and scored [-] points, and the game entered garbage time.

In the meeting after the game, Stephen complained about Coupard's lack of confidence, and Coupard was also complaining. After finally starting the last time, he didn't even finish the game. He only scored 21 points and [-] rebounds. It's over, complaining about Stephen's ruthless attack.

I will admit that I am like an outline style and flowing water, and I will admit that I lack dialogue. I will also admit that the writing is too boring, but I will not admit it if I say that I have a problem with my writing attitude. You I am not satisfied with the reading. This may be because my level is limited. I admit this. I have written three or four books.

Work, family, and my daughter really worried me a lot, but when I was writing a book, I also abandoned all interference to write. I felt disturbed when I was at work, so I wrote during my lunch break. I thought my daughter was making trouble on the side. I always put her to sleep before writing. Two chapters and [-] words a day, I exhausted all my thoughts and concentrated all my energy to write it, and it took me five or six hours to write it.

It's not that I can't write more, anyway, it's a buyout, and the money is calculated according to the number of words, but if there are too many, I can't guarantee the quality with my ability. Maybe other people can use dialogue to express various plots or Elements, I think too much dry dialogue is like water injection. I'm not saying that other people's dialogue is water injection, I'm just describing my own feeling.

I can't satisfy everyone. I can only do my best to write this book. The road of writing is always a lonely journey.
