Chapter 493

Updated: 2012-11-26

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wilcox directly sent the ball to Stephen. While receiving the ball, Stephen turned around, jumped backwards towards the basket, leaned back, and took action. The whole process was completed in one go, as if flowing. When the ball flew into the basket, the game time only took less than three seconds.

"Well... maybe this goal is not the fastest goal record, but there must be no problem in the top five." Tommy Heinsomi, who was in charge of commenting on this game, couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise. The goal was too fast, so fast that it was too late to react. He just put on his headphones and scored.

"Yes, it seems that Stephen is about to show his power. I can't wait to appreciate it. I believe this will be a passionate performance." His partner Craig Sager glared at him and said passionately that according to the division of labor, he should be on the side of the Supersonics. Heinsomi was obviously in the wrong position.

"Although I don't like the Supersonics very much, especially if they don't like them trading Ray Allen to the Celtics, this does not prevent me from liking this ball. The beauty of this ball has surpassed the team." Heinsomi immediately made up his mind.

Before Iguodala even ran to Stephen, Stephen scored a goal, and it was a three-pointer. This three-pointer allowed the Supersonics to take the lead again and also allowed Stephen's personal score to twenty-nine points.

After continuous passes of the 76ers' offense, the ball actually came to Reggie Evans' hands. No one expected that Wilcox, who defended Reggie Evans, had already gone to assist in defense Andre Miller. Even Reggie Evans, who could not shoot, could put the ball into the basket.

With a one-point lead, Watson was attacked by the opponent as soon as he received the ball. Stephen immediately retreated to pick him up and dribbled the ball across the midfield line. Just as Sager and Heinsomi were about to bet what method he would use to attack, Stephen had already made another three-pointer.

This time, Wilcox grabbed the rebound and passed it directly to Stephen. Just in front of Iguodala, Stephen made another three-pointer. Iguodala had a premonition that Stephen would definitely make the ball, so he planned to foul directly. However, even though his hand slapped Stephen's arm hard and the sound was heard throughout the game, the ball flew into the basket very accurately.

To score a four-pointer, Stephen stretched out four fingers and shook at Iguodala, came to the free throw line, took the referee's ball, and made the penalty in a very relaxed manner. While his personal score reached 33 points, he also expanded his lead advantage to five points.

He led the game for most of the time, but failed to maintain his advantage at the last moment, and the defensive strategy formulated before the game seemed to be bankrupt. The players of the Seventy-Sixers suddenly became panicked. Andre Miller made a few mistakes in the pass, which was a little more powerful.

Louis Williams received the ball, but the ball slid out of his hand again. Although he quickly reacted and hurriedly caught the ball again, in just a while, Stephen had created an opportunity for Stephen. He had just caught the ball and had not yet grasped it firmly, Stephen reached out and took it from his hand.

In the fourth quarter, in order to completely liberate Stephen's defensive pressure, Calesimo made a special re-arrangement, allowing Durant to defend Iguodala, and let Stephen defend Louis Williams, in fact, let Stephen spend more energy on offense without being restrained by defense.

Louis Williams and Stephen were players of the same year and were also a second round pick. Although he was a star player in high school in the United States and even won the Naismith Award, he lacked college experience and was also a senior high school player in the last year. He had few teams optimistic about him, so he fell to the second round position.

This is similar to Stephen. When a team selects players, they do not choose completely according to their own team's needs, but try to choose players with strong offensive abilities and strong physical fitness. If they play out, they will gain a lot.

Stephen was just a coolie defensive player back then, and the Spurs also wanted to give it a try and chose Stephen as Bruce Bowen's spare tire. He never expected Stephen to grow to this point, and at such a fast speed, the unprepared Spurs gave up Stephen in order not to disrupt their long-term plans.

In the draft that year, No. 1 pick Bogut is still only excellent. The four "Fourth Young Masters of North Carolina" who were so glorious back then were all selected for the lottery, but now they are all lost among the crowd except Felton. The brand labels on them did not bring any help to their growth, but instead put them under great pressure.

Among the rookies of that year, in addition to Stephen, the rising star of tomorrow, Deron Williams and Chris Paul were all star players, and Coopard barely entered this ranks. In addition, Bynum, Villanueva, Lutherhead, and David Lee can all be considered to play.

Among the second round picks, Monta Aires and Louis Williams can be regarded as the best among them, but comparing with Stephen is definitely not enough. As the second round pick who thought it might be the most successful, Stephen is not just the word "excellent".

Although Stephen won two championships and was also the Most Valuable Player in the Finals, he was in the Spurs system after all. The Spurs were already the champion a year before he joined the Spurs, so no matter what, his reputation for success is no longer possible.

Whether he can lead a team forward alone and launch a rush to the championship was once a doubt, but the Supersonics team has achieved a record of more than everyone's expectations. Before the season, no one expected that the Supersonics team, which had changed the world, would be able to enter the top three in the West.

This is a very dazzling achievement. No team has ever been able to increase their performances without decreasing after undergoing a core change, from a mid-range player to a strong division team, and it is led by Stephen alone. Except for him, no one else in the team performed beyond expectations.

As for Stephen's average of 40 per game, this personal achievement is in the face of the overall success of the team. There is no need to mention it. If the team does not have the team's success, even if Stephen's average of 50 per game, others can find reasons to criticize, but if the team succeeds, the individual will be successful.

After Stephen completed the steal from Louis Williams, he pushed the fast break in vain and had no success, so he had to fall into positional battle mode. Because of his three-pointer and four-pointer, the Seventy-Sixers no longer dared to underestimate him and resumed his full double-team. At this time, Stephen made a fake move to break through to the basket and suddenly passed the ball to Coopard.

Cooper did not waste his passes. After receiving the ball, he squeezed Dalemport to the side, then his body sank and dunked the ball against the basket under the cover of Dalemport. Dalemport, who had just been on the court for a while, received another foul.

Five fouls, Chicks had no choice. Jason Smith had already left the court with six fouls. He was originally expected to let Dalemport play the entire fourth quarter, but no one expected that he had already made five fouls after just a while. Even if he was careful, the opponent would definitely attack him as the target. This is the opponent's home court again. What should I do? Chicks frowned and thought for a while, but decided to replace Dalemport first.

After replacing Kelvinbos, the center position of the Seventy-Sixers became their weakest position, and Cooperd seemed to have a sharp rise in confidence because he had hit two opponents in a row and frequently reached out to play Kelvinbos singles. Compared with Cooperd, Kelvinbos is much worse and is not Cooperd's opponent at all.

Seeing that the opponent was leading by more than ten, Chicks felt that he had to make some changes, otherwise he would lose the game. After frowning and hesitating for a long time, Chicks made a fierce move with center Reggie Evans, power forward Kyle Korver, small forward Iguodala, double point guards Louis Williams and Andre Miller.

Chicks intends to use such a small lineup to increase the team's offensive speed and drag down the opponent's physical strength, but this lineup basically has no defense, especially the inside defense, and basically waits to give up defense and rely solely on offense to fight.

You know, this change immediately received miraculous effects. The 76ers, who were fully fired, brought the rhythm of the game to the extreme. In a trance, Stephen felt that he was against the Suns or the Warriors. The Supersonics were very difficult to adapt to this sudden change in style for a while. He missed the score several consecutive mistakes and missed the ball, and the 76ers chased the score to only two points.

Calesimo called a timeout keenly, but did not make any new arrangements. Instead, the team maintained its own rhythm, did not be driven by the local area, and resolutely played in the offense, which was the play with Stephen as the core. Stephen could not touch the ball a few times in the chaos just now.

After returning from the timeout, Stephen used a mid-range jump shot to start first, stabilizing the situation for the team. Although Louis Williams also made a mid-range shot, Stephen made another three-pointer, expanding the gap in the score to five points.

Stephen's personal score also reached 38 points. As the Seventy Sixers attacked again, Stephen broke through Iguodala's defense, while the Seventy Sixers had no defensive power at the basket, so Iguodala had to reach out and hold Stephen.

After Stephen made both free throws, his personal score had reached 40, and there were more than four minutes left in the game. Stephen looked at Iguodala and smiled, but Iguodala turned his head aside.
