After the first quarter, Stephen only took three shots, made one, and caused Artest to foul the other, made two free throws, scored four points but sent six assists, thanks to Durant The touch and Coupard's advantage in strength.

Although the Kings are not a strong team, they have reached the playoffs in the past ten seasons, and they can be regarded as a second-rate strong team. However, in the first quarter, both offensive and defensive ends were defeated by the Supersonics. It was firmly suppressed, which made the fans very satisfied, and there were few applause.

In the second quarter, Carlesimo replaced Robert Swift and Damien Wilkins, replaced Coupard and Durant, and at the same time, Carlesimo also let Stephen strengthen his offense, don't patronize While assisting his teammates, Stephen nodded, indicating that he knew.

After returning to the court, Stephen turned a blind eye to John Salmons' defense at all. The rhythm of his feet changed three times, leaving Salmons behind. Now Stephen is breaking through Sometimes, the advantage of using strength is less, and more often it is to combine various physical advantages, see what the opponent's weakness is, and use the opponent's weakness to break through.

Stephen tried twice, and found out that Salmons' footsteps were not flexible. It was not that he was slow, nor did he lack lateral movement ability, but that his footstep speed did not change in time. After passing Salmons, the Kings Stephen's basket became a smooth road for Stephen. He strode out and stepped into the three-second zone in only two steps. Then Stephen flew into the air and poured the ball into the basket with one hand. Foul by DeMille.

Although Stephen missed the free throw, Robert Swift grabbed the rebound, and then he passed the ball to Stephen. Stephen took the ball and took off to shoot, sending the ball into the basket and closing the gap. Expanded to double digits.

In the second quarter, while Stephen scored [-] points alone, he also extended the lead to [-] points. The Kings had almost no power to fight back. The Supersonics had seen such a game before, and the first half hadn't finished yet. , but the game seemed to be won. I used to see others bullying my team like this. I didn't expect that now the feng shui was turning and it was my turn to bully others.

Carlesimo replaced Stephen without waiting for the end of the second quarter. First, there were too many leading advantages, and it was a preseason game. There was no need to keep Stephen on the court. Another consideration was to replace Stephen. , See how this team is doing, let people realize the value of Stephen even more.

Sure enough, Stephen replaced Durant after the end of the game, and the Kings immediately launched a counterattack. Durant lacked physical resistance, and under Artest's close defense, he was squeezed as soon as he got the ball If you can't make a shot, even if you make a shot, most of them deviate from the basket.

In just 2 minutes, the Kings chased the score to only [-] points. If it weren't for Ridnor's three-pointer, this wave of offense would have narrowed the point difference to less than [-] points. Offensive teams are concerned.

In the second half, Stephen still didn't play, but after Carlesimo's adjustment, coupled with the inside replacement of Coupard and Robert Horry, after Robert Horry played, although he didn't score any points, he passed a steal and an assist Help the team stabilize the situation.

He can pass the ball to the open players on the outside, or hang the ball inside, allowing Coupard to take advantage of the physical advantage of grabbing. At the same time, he is also good at various offensive methods. He was naturally not such a player at the beginning. With the increase of competition experience, I learned these naturally.

It is a pity that this is also in his twilight years. If he is ten years younger, such a Robert Horry will definitely be the main player of a team, not just used as a surprise soldier. This is the case with white heads, and no one can resist the erosion of the years.

After Stephen came on the court, the team still maintained a 26-point advantage. At this time, the third quarter had already played more than halfway. After Stephen came on the court, he continued to focus on assisting his teammates to score, supplemented by his own scoring, but even so , when the kings gave up the game and entered garbage time, he still raised his scoring to [-] points, and at the same time increased his assists to twelve, in addition to eight rebounds, if the game hadn't entered garbage time, believe him Getting a triple-double is a sure thing.

The Sonics won a hearty victory, which has rarely happened in the history of the Sonics in recent years. Although the first game of the preseason is not the opening game, it can be seen Such a game has already made the Sonics fans very happy.

I won, but the process was staggering, and this kind of big victory, and there is no suspense, are two different enjoyments. This kind of game makes people look relaxed and happy, and makes people less nervous. Just right for Seattle fans.

Most of the teams here are white-collar workers. The white-collar workers who work for Boeing, Microsoft, and Amazon need this kind of game. Speaking of the atmosphere of the team, these are very similar to Houston. Dallas was originally In this way, driven by the offensive system created by the old Nelson, the fans gradually developed a passionate and fanatical atmosphere.

Sometimes this is the case. Fans can affect the temperament of the team, but the characteristics of the team can also affect the quality of the fans. In general, the first game of the Sonics has a good response among the fans. , the fans are discussing in twos and threes.

Discussing Stephen's regretful triple-double, discussing which of the newly added players this year performed better, discussing how far the Sonics can go with the drive of these players, and the fast-paced ones have already asked this year's There is no discount on the package ticket.

The players are also very happy. Of course, it is limited to the players who have played. This kind of game feels very easy to play, as if it has reached the end without using too much force. This kind of game is very exciting. I don't feel tired at all.

Since the game entered the garbage time ahead of time, basically everyone got the chance to play, but the players who played in the garbage time must be unwilling, but they also know that there is still a chance for them to change now. It is difficult to change the determined main rotation lineup.

Durant only scored [-] points and [-] rebounds, comparable to Coupard with [-] points and [-] rebounds, but you must know that this is his first regular professional game. proved his ability.

On the second day after the game, Stephen looked at the views of the local media and social networking sites in Seattle on the Internet. Most of them were positive, and occasionally there were calm parties, thinking that this was just a preseason game , even if it is a big victory, it is not enough to be happy, but there are not many objections.

A super star, if he can't even attract local fans, he is not a super star. Stephen's pursuit is all-round, whether it is the fans' reputation, the enthusiasm of the football market, the team's victory, or his own personal The data are all Stephen's pursuit.

Since there was a three-day break between the first game and the second game, and the second game was an away game, but on the way to Cleveland, Stephen flipped through the newspapers and magazines at hand, and suddenly an article Into Stephen's eyes.

"Score?Assists, that one is his nature" The photo of Stephen above is printed in it. In the photo, Stephen is about to pass the ball to his teammate, but his eyes are looking at the basket. In fact, this is a standard action of fake throw and real pass , but the other party extended it to here.

The article is full of speculative content. For example, Stephen himself is a super scorer, but in this game, he suppressed his shot desire and focused his energy on assisting his teammates. Or lack of self-confidence and domineering.

Seeing the familiar name below, Stephen stroked his forehead in pain. His camera was still thrown away at home, and no one returned it to him. No wonder he wrote another article, but this game Stephen was so supportive of his teammates The assist was actually influenced by her last article, to prove to everyone that she is not a cancerous player, what LeBron James can do, she can also do.

That's why I suppressed my own shots**. Of course, victory is the highest pursuit, and it's only a preseason game, which doesn't even include technical statistics. Stephen didn't bother to spend that effort. Write articles to criticize.

In Cleveland, in the game against the Cavaliers, Stephen scored 34 points, while the opposing LeBron James scored only 20 points. Of course, he only played more than [-] minutes, but Stephen's playing time was not much. The Sonics won. Although it wasn't a big victory like the previous game, it was a victory after all.

Although it was a preseason game, the league still arranged a back-to-back away game schedule. After defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Sonics flew to Indiana overnight, preparing to challenge the Pacers here tomorrow. After getting off the plane, Stephen was very happy. I want to make a call to Larry Bird, but I really can't bear this face when I think about rejecting him.

In this game, Stephen followed Larry Bird's teachings, treated the game with a mentality of controlling the overall situation, and always firmly controlled the situation of the game. When he needed to score by himself to stabilize the situation, Stephen was not polite To score, and under normal circumstances, Stephen still focuses on assisting his teammates to score.

In the end, Stephen scored 26 points, [-] assists and [-] rebounds, and almost got another triple-double. The Sonics also won three consecutive victories in the preseason. The next day, when Stephen saw the new "Seattle Weekly" coming out, he couldn't help but took a copy and read it.

"Score?Assist, what is he hesitating about? "Seeing such a topic, Stephen suddenly smiled wryly. No matter what he did, he could not satisfy the other party. Thinking of this, Stephen returned to his room, took his camera and recording pen, and prepared to go to the other party to return the things. people.
