This failure is not unexpected. Although the Supersonics ranked higher in the Western Conference than the Los Angeles Lakers, the Lakers are in a strong momentum. The Supersonics lost two games in three games, but many people still hope that the Supersonics can snipe the Lakers' winning streak. After all, the Supersonics' record in the first half of the schedule did not come for no reason.

Unfortunately, the result of the game disappointed many people. They were not disappointed for the failure of the Supersonics. What was disappointed was that the Supersonics failed to stop the Lakers' winning streak. As one of the few teams in the league that can always maintain competitiveness, many people are wary of the rise of the Lakers.

Although the Lakers have been in a low period in the past two or three seasons, the Lakers have not been able to rebuild because of this, but have been trying to regroup and make a comeback. The Lakers unexpectedly got Paul Gasol from the Grizzlies, which has made many teams more cautious about the Lakers.

The Lakers' seven-game winning streak proves that their guard is not for no reason. Such a team has shown his kingly temperament. With a certain amount of time, the Lakers will complete the running-in and check the lineup and fill in the gaps, and the championship will have a strong competitor.

So they all wanted to use the Supersonics to test the strength of the Lakers. Unconsciously, the Supersonics played the role of touchstone for other teams, but the result was that the Supersonics lost to the Lakers. Especially throughout the game, the Lakers have always maintained a ease and used their strong inside strength to firmly control the situation of the game.

The Supersonics, which has always been invincible, were hit in front of the Lakers and was bleeding. Although it cannot be said that they have no power to fight back, they did not cause any decent trouble to the Lakers. The Lakers easily defeated the Supersonics with their overall strength with far-reaching strength.

Although Stephen's performance was still good, he could not stop the opponent's victory. In fact, Stephen's performance was not too bad in the three games lost by the Supersonics, but the team still lost. As the boss of the team, Stephen was criticized a lot.

What is just focusing on taking action? Just paying attention to personal scoring, not making teammates better, no team sense, great players should make teammates better, these verbal tones are blown up again, and some simply point out that Stephen is aiming at the scoring champion this season and doesn't care about the team's winning or losing at all.

They won't see that Stephen's average assists per game has always been at the forefront of the striker, and the average assists per game is far greater than Kobe Bryant. Although Kobe got ten assists in this game, Stephen only had seven.

They wouldn't see Stephen's passing is getting more and more out of the ball, and he cooperates with his teammates more and more. Stephen is becoming more and more willing to share the ball rights with his teammates. Many passes are not turned into assists. In addition to his teammates' lack of offensive ability, there is another key factor that Stephen's passing is not those passing the ball at a free pass. He only passes when he sees his teammates pass a lot, and these passes can be counted as assists.

At the same time, many people are not optimistic about the playoff prospects of the Supersonics, and some media even pessimistically believe that if they continue in this state, the Supersonics may not even be able to enter the playoffs. At the same time, the bookmakers quickly raised the Supersonics' championship odds.

Stephen's ranking also dropped once on the regular season's most valuable player rankings, falling behind LeBron James, because the Cavaliers led by LeBron James have achieved good results of four wins and one loss since the All-Star Game.

In this case, the entire SuperSonics team was filled with a depressing anger and immediately came to the Oracle Arena in Oakland, which was the home court of the Golden State Warriors. Before this game, the SuperSonics had a lot of unfavorable news. Due to plantar fasciitis, Cote Thomas was put on the injury list. He could not play in this game. At the same time, due to a strained left calf muscle, Wilkins could not play.

As long as the unlucky happens, it usually will not be one thing, but a series of things. Half an hour before the start of the game, the team's substitute point guard was diagnosed with flu and was restricted from playing by the team doctor. Once these news was confirmed, all media agreed that the SuperSonics would lose three consecutive times.

Especially the local media in Seattle are filled with sorrow. No one thinks that the Supersonics can defeat the Golden State Warriors after losing three generals, although the Golden State Warriors are already a sure-fire lottery team this season.

Although the three players lost are not the team's starters, they are all the main players of the team's regular rotation lineup, especially Wilkins and Ridno, who are important substitutes on the team's back line, and each of them has the ability to contribute ten per game.

Kot Thomas is okay. In recent games, Nick Colinson has played a few minutes in every game, and his game condition has also been very good. Wilkins is one of the few players in the bench who can attack with the ball. Szebiak can only shoot from the outside, and Szebiak is usually Durant's substitute.

As for Ridno, he has always been playing time with Watson, but his sudden inability to play, would he have to play the whole game, or would he let Deronti West, who has not played for a long time, come out? However, he rarely participates in training now and has no form in the game at all.

Do you want Watson to play the whole game? You should know that the Golden State Warriors' leading player is Baron Davis, a representative of the powerful point guard. Watson stands with him, just like a bear and a Wildcats are competing with him. He can't exhaust Watson to death.

There is also a Watson player on the Warriors who also plays as a point guard, but he is taller and stronger than Watson. Many people are worried that Watson's position will be completely beaten by their opponents, because Wilkins' side is not very important. Stephen can only play for a few more minutes at most, but this position is hard to say, and this position is the opponent's strongest point.

But no one expected that this game would be a bloodbath. It was not the Warriors who beat the Supersonics, but the Supersonics who beat the Warriors. In fact, in the middle of the third quarter, the game had entered garbage time. The Supersonics had led the Warriors by more than 30 points.

If Stephen Jackson hadn't used a continuous score to allow the Warriors to see the light of light for a short time, but with Stephen's appearance limiting Stephen Jackson, the Warriors' defeat became inevitable, and they finally lost the game with a huge gap of 82 to 109.

"You are strong, really strong." This is what Stephen Jackson told Stephen after the game. Since Monta Aires' height and weight are not enough to fight Stephen, Mr. Nelson simply went to the misalignment to the end and asked Monta Aires to fight Durant, but asked Stephen Jackson to fully match Stephen.

Stephen Jackson said earlier that he is a player who is close to the first-class offense and defense. In addition to being a bit emotional and not performing very stable, he is one of the few all-round players among the ranks of forward and guard swingers, and he has a big heart and dares to fight.

He is also a second-round pick and a person with a temperament. He has many friends in the league. Because Hurricane Katerina hit a city with many of his relatives, he rented two helicopters to take dozens of his relatives to his home for a long time. He brought nine guys about the same age as him all year round, not his bodyguards or his assistants. This was his childhood playmate. After his wealth, he did not forget them.

No matter how he faces anyone, he has never performed to admit defeat. Even Michael Jordan is no exception. But today, he does feel Stephen's strength, not only offense or defense, but all-round. He feels that even if he is fighting, he is not an opponent of the guy in front of him.

"Thank you, you played well." Stephen was not simply complimenting. There were not many guys who could get more than twenty points in front of him, and they had a set of defense and offense. What was even more surprising was that this guy actually appeared in the No. 1 position during the period when Baron Davis was not on the court.

The sound of playing the point guard was so exciting that it was so exciting. This was what surprised Stephen the most. It was normal for Monta Aires to play the point guard. This kid was only 1.91 meters tall. Although his playing style was even more scoring guard than the shooting guard, perhaps this was the reason why Mr. Nelson did not allow him to play the point guard.

The Warriors Watson played for a while because Stephen Jackson played a point guard, and there was only garbage time to play in this game. At that time, Watson of the Supersonics had already left the field, and the scene of the two Watsons confrontation did not appear.

In addition to the results of this game, Baron Davis did not beat Watson as expected before the game. Baron Davis got a standard point guard data of 20 assists, and Watson's 17 points and seven assists were not far behind.

When facing the Lakers, the Supersonics' inside line seemed so vulnerable, but when facing the Warriors, the Supersonics' inside advantage was played out. However, in this game, Stephen only got 37 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, which may be related to the early entry of garbage time in the game, otherwise he would have to make a triple-double.

Stephen ranked first in the steal list, while Bairon Davis ranked third in the steal list. The two men completed five steals in this game, which is also a record data. Neither of them completed the steal from the opponent's hands, but the kind of steal that predicts the pass in advance.

After achieving a surprising victory, the Supersonics quickly returned to Seattle and prepared to meet the challenge of the Denver Nuggets. During the flight, major websites and media reported on this game, but they were still not optimistic about the Supersonics.

They believe that the Supersonics won the Golden State Warriors at all, and it does not mean that the Supersonics' condition has improved. Although they have won a bloodbath, the Warriors this season are at best just a bottom team, and the Denver Nuggets that are ready to face next is a real test.

The result is indeed like this. In the Key Center Arena, the Supersonics and the Nuggets teamed up to contribute a hearty offensive battle to the fans. The two sides scored a high score of 138 to 135. According to convention, the home team was in front and the away team was in the back.

The Nuggets had six players in double digits, and the Supersonics had five players in double digits, and Iverson scored 35 points, six assists and six rebounds, but he had no achievements in steals. Instead, his teammate Anthony Carter got four steals like Stephen.

Stephen scored 36 points, six rebounds, thirteen assists in this game, with a record number of assists, and four steals. However, in the game, he was blocked by Camby twice in a row, which also set a record. In this game, Camby scored 12 points, fourteen rebounds and seven blocks.

The two consecutive victories and the high scores made people see the power of the Supersonics, but some media still have a stubborn voice, believing that the Supersonics did not encounter decent defense in these two games, and winning against the opponent in offense is nothing. It is not a big deal to meet defensive players to win the ball.

As a result, in the third day of the game, they were also away, and they were back-to-back games, and their opponents were waiting for two days to rest. The Heat can always be regarded as a defensive team. Although their defensive quality is not in the top three in the league, they always have a place for the top five.

The Supersonics also won more than ten, and the score also exceeded the average score, which left everyone without excuses. Instead, they quickly won three consecutive victories after three games, which also allowed the Supersonics to adjust their ability, especially Stephen's stable performance of controversy, which added a smile to his competition for the most valuable player of the regular season.

The Supersonics, which had originally declined to fourth place in the West, returned to the third place in the West after three consecutive victories. No one discussed whether the Supersonics could enter the playoffs anymore. Unless they lost all the games in the subsequent games, they might not be able to enter the playoffs. With their current momentum, such a thing is obviously impossible.
