In the second quarter, after replacing the substitute lineup, under the leadership of Stephen, the Supersonics completed the overtake, but they could never get rid of the opponent. The score gap was within five points. Although the Supersonics could not widen the gap, the Wizards were also unable to overtake the score.

In the second half of the second quarter, seeing that the situation in the game was relatively stable, Caresimo replaced Stephen. While Stephen was out, the Wizards replaced Nick Young at the same time. The two passed by, and the former teammates looked at each other and were each other's opponents.

I thought the game would go on like this, but no one expected that Nick Young, who had just started playing, kept breaking through, layups, and shooting. Wilkins was clumsy in front of him like a bear, especially his shooting, which had fast movements and variable rhythms.

No one expected that a rookie player who came on the bench could actually overtake the score, and the Wizards did not ignore him just because he was a rookie. The ball kept passing into his hands, although he had never made it again.

Although Nick Young only scored 11 points in this half quarter, it led to the attack of the whole team. After Stephen left the field, the Supersonics did not find their own offensive direction, and they played in chaos. It was not until Ridno performed a little better in the end that the situation stabilized.

However, the team still didn't take it seriously. What's the matter? Being led in the first half was not once or twice, but we won in the end. With Stephen here, everyone had great confidence in Stephen, and even Stephen himself didn't take it seriously.

Moreover, the opponent did not lead too much, but in this way, he still spent the halftime in an atmosphere of relaxed and underestimating the opponent. In the second half, Stephen returned to the court with all the starters, and evened the score with one three-pointer plus two fines, but Daniels' three-pointer shot opened the score again.

Stephen's breakthrough knocked Jamison to the ground, but the referee gave Stephen an offensive foul. Stephen spread his hands and shrugged, and had no choice but to give the ball to his opponent. While Jamison shot from the basket, he caused Wilcox to foul, and the score was further widened to six points.

The game was calm and quiet, and both sides were always scoring with each other, especially Jamison. His speed and agility made it very difficult for Wilcox to defend. This is the case for a player like him who is "not three or four" in style. Although he is at a disadvantage on the defensive end, he can also cause huge trouble to his opponents on the offensive end.

If you use the inside player to defend him, your footsteps and speed will not keep up. If you use the outside player to defend, your strength and height will suffer. Calesimo had to replace Wilcox and replace Cote Thomas to defend Jamison, which will have better results.

Stephen just made a shot outside the three-point line. When he came back, he was joking a defensive foul by the referee when defending Butler. Since the number of fouls was less than the number of free throws, the Wizards continued to serve, but as soon as the ball was sent out, the referee joking another foul by Stephen.

Stephen couldn't help it, and turned around and went to the referee to argue. However, the referee retreated without waiting for him to get closer and gave him a technical foul. Stephen had to get closer, but was stopped by his teammates. The coach there also stood in front of the referee and blocked the referee's view, because if Stephen went over again, he would probably have to take another technical foul.

Taking advantage of the opponent's free throw, the Supersonics replaced Stephen. Caresimo sat aside and began to persuade Stephen to adapt to the referee's judgment standard and not to provoke the authority, especially after the referee has made the penalty, do not argue with the referee.

Stephen nodded and said yes, indeed, the referee on the basketball court has the biggest, and the referee is the most competitive, but Stephen understands the truth, but this tone is not easy to swallow. Seeing Stephen's condition, Caresimo dared not replace Stephen again, so he had to hope that other players can be more powerful and not be thrown away by the opponent's bigger score difference.

After Stephen left the court, Coopard made two consecutive fouls against Wizards players and was replaced by Carlesimo. When he sat next to Stephen, Coopard secretly said to Stephen: "Boss, I made this rule to vent my anger for you."

Stephen turned his head and glared at him, ignoring this simple-minded guy. What he needs now is to stay on the court to contribute and help the team win, not to bet on this. Cooper's singles ability in the inside is also a major advantage in this game. He took the initiative to find a foul, which is not helping himself, but helping his opponent.

Coupard was out, and Kalesimo did not replace Robert Swift, but let Szebiak come on the court, playing for a big and four small. This change of call received a miraculous effect. Not only did it not allow the opponent to widen the gap, but it also caught up a few points. By the end of the third quarter, the Supersonics were only two points behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Calesimo did not intend to replace Stephen immediately, but hoped that the lineup in the late third quarter would last for a few more minutes. However, in the third quarter, the lineup was very successful and effective in the third quarter, and the opponent scored a 9-0 small ** in the fourth quarter, and the score difference was immediately pulled to 11 points.

Calesimo once again exposed his weakness, that is, he was not determined and decisive in on-site command. Many times he knew what to make adjustments, but he had no confidence in his own adjustments, so he had to hesitate and wanted to observe again, which would delay time.

Substitutions must wait for the chance to die, but the official timeout has just passed. Unless he calls a timeout, he must wait for the dead ball. Calesimo does not want to waste the few timeouts, but if he can't change, he can only watch the score difference be widened continuously.

Cott Thomas is still experienced. Seeing that Stephen and others had already stood on the sidelines and could not wait for the chance to die, Antoine Jamison used the cover to kill the basket and prepared to make a layup, he pulled him down directly. Although the opponent had to free throws twice, one was that if the ball was not fouled, it was a must-get goal. Secondly, Jamison's free throw was not very good. Only veterans like Cott Thomas noticed this detail.

Sure enough, Jamison made only one of the two free throws, and the score difference was widened to 12 points. Taking this opportunity, all the main players of the Supersonics returned to the field, but Stephen took the ball from Watson in the midfield line. As soon as he crossed the midfield line, Butler and Stevenson came to double-team Stephen.

Stephen raised his hand and made a pass. Butler hesitated immediately. Stephen closed the ball, pressed his shoulders, and accelerated, and then got through between the two. Butler wanted to have a double ghost slap with Stevenson, but he was directly squeezed aside by Stephen.

Jamison hurriedly moved over to make up for defense, and at the same time Haywood turned around, Stephen rushed towards the two people without stopping. When he approached Jamison, he immediately dodged to the left and looked sideways. Jamison immediately jumped up, but Stephen retracted his movements again and continued to kill at the basket.

When he was one step away from Heywood, Stephen lowered his head and raised his hand, but paused in the middle. Heywood jumped in the air and realized that he had hit Stephen's plan, but he could no longer adjust himself in the air. He could only watch Stephen waited until he hit him before throwing the ball out.

With such an obvious foul, even if the referee wants to be biased towards the home court, it is reasonable to cheat the foul. Who told you to be fooled and who asked you to jump so early? It's a pity that Stephen missed the free throw, but this precious rebound was snatched by Cooper.

The Wizards used four players to defend Stephen's defense. Except for point guard Daniels who did not participate, the other four people participated in the defense. As a result, Stephen scored offensively and also made them a foul. As soon as the ball reached Stephen's hands, Butler and Daniels immediately doubled Stephen from left to right.

Waving Wilcox to provide a cover for himself. Although he blocked Butler, he welcomed Jamison. Jamison had an advantage in speed and footsteps for inside players, but against Stephen, this became a disadvantage. Stephen stopped and accelerated and turned around and rushed to the front of the three-second zone. However, Stevenson had already rushed over from the other side, and in front of him, Haywood was already eyeing him and ready to avenge the previous one. Jamison was rushing from behind Stephen's left.

Stephen leaned forward, and Heywood did not dare to jump anymore at this time, but stepped forward and stuck it over. However, Stephen then took a step back and gave up the space, but pushed forward with his hand, passing the ball through Heywood's gear and passed it to Coopard. After Coopard received the ball, he turned around and dunked with one-handed dunk to score two points.

In a blink of an eye, the advantage of twelve points was only eight points left. The Wizards called a timeout and re-arranged the tactics, especially against Stephen's defense. As a result, the timeout came back. Caron Butler missed the shot. Stephen grabbed the rebound, allowing his rebound to double digits, and then came back and killed one dragon to the basket. He jumped up and was about to make a layup. Suddenly, the ball was passed outside the three-point line. Durant had just stopped, and after receiving the ball, he raised his hand and shot it. He shot it without even making any adjustments.

While the ball was in, Stephen's assists increased to double digits. With more than five minutes left in the game, Stephen had already scored a triple-double, but his score was only 28 points, far lower than his average score, but Stephen was not worried.

But Caron Butler came back and made a three-pointer, widening the gap to eight points. After Watson missed a layup, Stevenson, who made zero three-pointers and four shots in the whole game, made a hit outside the three-point line, widening the gap to eleven points.
