After the game against the Nuggets, many media used the title Return of the King as a compliment for the Spurs' wonderful performance that night. The Spurs did not give the Nuggets too many opportunities, except for taking a nap in the second quarter, and then after playing a calm third quarter, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, it took only two minutes for the Spurs to reverse the situation and never give the Nuggets another chance.

And what they are more convincing is that when facing the Nuggets, which is also one of the strong teams, the Spurs have the time to train. The evidence is naturally Stephen's starting lineup, and then sent him out again when the game situation is determined. [bsp;     In just one game, Stephen used his wonderful performance to dispel all doubts about him, because he faced Carmelo Anthony, one of the best small forwards in the league. Compared with offensive players like Kobe and McGrady, Anthony has a stronger impact and greater lethality. Just because Stephen's fearless performance in front of him is enough to get praise, not to mention that he still restricts Anthony well at the beginning and end of the game.

Since there was an agreement when the stadium was built, at the beginning of each year, San Antonio had the right to use the SBC Center to hold a livestock exhibition for a half month. In this way, the Spurs' home court was occupied and they would have a very long away trip. Therefore, in terms of schedule, the league will arrange many home courts for the Spurs in the previous schedule.

On the third day of the game against the Nuggets, the Spurs were about to face the challenge of the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. Many media agreed that if Stephen could still maintain such a performance when facing the "Little Emperor" LeBron James, it would mean that the Spurs did find treasures in the second round. However, at this time no one pursued the Spurs why they used the first round to choose Ion Massinmi, who was not useful at all, and then deliberately traded to choose Stephen for a second round pick.

However, not all media praised Stephen. While affirming Stephen's defensive ability, many experts and media reporters also seemed to be clear-headed that in this game, although Stephen scored six points and had a 100% shooting percentage, this does not prove that Stephen developed offensive ability, because he had shown both dunks and tip-offs. After multiple analysis, Stephen's first shot was just a mistaken crash. Judging from the shape of the shot, Stephen is likely to be most passing the ball.

They basically guessed the facts, but as long as Stephen doesn't stand up and admit this, who can be sure that Stephen is passing the ball instead of shooting? As for the attack posture, this is a bit weird, like Marion and Childries. What's wrong with the attack posture? Maybe they have to do this to ensure the hit rate.

But in general, Stephen's performance is mostly positive, but he no longer feels happy to see these. He is preparing to deal with his second opponent. The little emperor James is much more famous than the little melon Anthony. Stephen specifically contacted Gret for this and asked Gret to edit some analysis of James' offensive actions for himself.

Having such a player in his hand, he would unconsciously want to use him if he encountered such a situation. **Vic actually considered this situation before the game. With Stephen's defensive skills, the defense effect would not be very good against an all-around player like James. However, facing James in a violent state, Bruce Bowen clearly showed signs of losing. Before **Vic made a decision, Bruce Bowen was forced to break through by James again. Duncan had no choice but to come over to make up for him to defend, and James created a blocking foul.

In this way, Duncan got three fouls at the beginning of the second quarter, which is definitely not good news for the Spurs. Duncan is the core of both offense and defense in the team's tactical system. If the outside defense is frequently broken through, it will put a lot of pressure on the inside defense. Duncan can no longer continue to foul, but if James is allowed to attack the inside, it will happen sooner or later.

**Vic first replaced Nestrovich with Oberto, and used Oberto, who had stronger athletic ability to hit the power forward, while Duncan went to the center position, and then used Stephen to accidentally replace Ginobili instead of Stephen to replace Bowen.

Stephen's task is not to defend James on the main line, but to make up for the defense from the strong side after Bowen's defense is broken. The order given by Vicky to Stephen is to block James from the outside even if he pays the price of fouls, he should prevent James from breaking through and shooting and passing the ball.

Stephen strictly followed the coach's instructions, and when he saw that normal means could not stop James from breaking through, he rushed over bravely and stopped James's footsteps with a fierce impact. After the impact, Stephen felt that the parts of the body being hit were vaguely painful. He glanced at the rocky muscles on James' body, and Stephen gritted his teeth and stood up again.

Stephen only felt Duncan's pain just now, and also felt how hard it was for Bruce Bowen to deal with James for more than a quarter. This guy is simply a non-human body, and even the orangutan is not so strong.

My body is quite strong, but it seems that there is no pervert on the other party. It seems that this strength potion is just like that. I was deceived by the old man. In fact, Stephen was a little unfairly accused Rosenberg of this. The effect of the strength potion has not been fully demonstrated. At the same time, since his body was transformed acquired, other tissues in his body have not yet adapted.

Stephen wanted to defend James based on his impression in the video, but soon he discovered that James' offensive methods were definitely not just those in the video. He was like an offensive treasure house, constantly drawing out various offensive techniques, and his methods were so varied that he had almost never used the same offensive method twice.

However, the two defensive players' turnover attacks still have a certain effect. James' crazy breakthrough momentum was finally curbed. James also increased his pass and no longer kept the ball in his hands. However, at this time, Larry Hughes and Snow both regained their feel. **Vic used Robert Horry to replace Duncan, and at the same time replaced Bowen with Michael Finley, and replaced Tony Parker with Van Exel, and the team began to switch to the offense.
