After winning the first victory, the entire Supersonics team was filled with an atmosphere of underestimating the enemy. It was indeed too relaxed. The Rockets were pushed down by the Supersonics as if they had no resistance. Is this the Houston Rockets, who is known as the top three in Texas, and is it still the Houston Rockets who are tenacious in style.

Each team has its own style. Among the original Texas top three, the Dallas Mavericks attacked and invaded like fire. Any team facing the Mavericks must worry about whether they will be crushed to pieces by the Mavericks. The San Antonio Spurs are difficult to deal with. No matter whether you play fast, slow, offensive, defensive, and ultimately they all become the San Antonio Spurs' style of play. He can silently turn your rhythm into the rhythm he is used to.

The Rockets at that time rely on their defense, and there was nothing to say on the offensive end, either Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady, but the defense was indeed extraordinary under the command of Thibodeau. The Rockets' defense was not as hard-working as the Detroit Pistons, but they could make your offense more uncomfortable and let you only choose the offensive method you were not used to. At that time, the Rockets' defensive data were all within the top three of the league, which was a good evidence.

It’s a pity that with Jeff Van Gundy leaving with Thibodeau, the Rockets’ defense lasted for another season by relying on inertia, but from this season, it’s no longer the same as before. In the playoffs, their defense is becoming more and more poor.

Only in the playoffs can the strength of a team be tested, especially the intensity of the defense. The Rockets' defense is not bad in the regular season because most of their teams are defensive players, but in the playoffs, their defense is a bit too low.

The Rockets lost, which is not surprising, but the loss was so simple that many people disappointed or misunderstood. According to their performance in the final stage of the regular season, the Rockets' victory was indeed higher than that of the Portland Trail Blazers or Phoenix Suns. Moreover, they are a defensive player. In the playoffs, it will definitely make the Supersonics more uncomfortable than the other two teams, but the result is not like this.

This season is over, and there are naturally no doubts about the various data awards. Although Stephen's scoring data has declined compared to last season, he still defended the scoring throne and no one can pose a threat to him. The rebounding champion this season is Dwight Howard, who averaged 13.8 rebounds per game. Although Yao Ming's playing time has dropped sharply, his rebounding number is still more than ten, ranking third in the league.

Assistant King Chris Paul averaged 11:00 and three assists per game. What is regrettable is that his steal count is lower than Stephen again. Although the gap has further narrowed, he still missed this award. Stephen once again won two data awards at the same time, and the blocking king is Dwight Howard. He became the blocking king this season with his last three blocks. Stephen ranked fourth in the league with an average of 2:7, but he is the first player in the outside player.

According to the consistent selection habits of the best defensive player, players who have outstanding performance in rebounds, blocks and steals can usually win this award. However, although Dwight Howard won two, Stephen was the first to block and rebounds for outside players. This should also add a little score to him. Before this award was announced, it was considered the most suspenseful of all awards.

There is basically no suspense in other awards. The best coach should be Mike Brown, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the sixth man should be Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks. The award for the most valuable player in the regular season was basically Stephen's.

Best Rookie Derek Ross, there is no controversy about this, but there is a lot of controversy about the fastest-progressing player. I haven’t seen anyone who is likely to win this award yet, but I will definitely miss Stephen. However, Stephen only plans to win such an award once, and he doesn’t expect to win a second time.

In addition to the Best Team and Best Defensive Team, Stephen cares most about the two best awards of the regular season Most Valuable Player and Best Defensive Player. The first one has no problem, and the problem is that the second one may have a little controversy, but Stephen is not too concerned about this award.

Stephen also doesn't need to worry about the best defensive team and the best team, so Stephen's main focus is on the championship. He must win the championship this season before he can say that he is successful this season. If he is just a little better than last year, he will not win the championship until the Western Conference Finals or Finals, then he will still not be successful. Therefore, Stephen doesn't like the team's underestimation atmosphere within the team, but his teammates are all excited. The performance of the Houston Rockets is indeed not very good, so he can't just remind his teammates that the playoffs are in a seven-game four-win system, and even if he loses a game, there is no big deal. Anyway, there is still a chance.

This is the advantage of the seven-inning four-win system. It tests the true combat power of a team. In the regular season, you may be able to win the game by breaking out of one player or multiple players. In the playoffs, you can't win four games by breaking out. In the regular season, a good tactical adjustment may just hit the opponent's weakness and win, but in the playoffs, you can't win all the games by breaking out this time.

And Stephen is now in a big head. You know, after learning that the Supersonics have entered the playoffs again, not only did Situ Yulin and Mo Xueru come from Los Angeles to Seattle, but Emma Watson didn't know what happened, but he came here alone, saying that he came here to watch the game, and also saying that he had promised Stephen before. This made Stephen very angry. No matter how capable he was, he was still incompetent. But both sides asked him to accompany him. There was no way Stephen had to use the excuse to train and no one was with him. Anyway, he had a heavy responsibility now.

Emma Watson came here because Stephen once called her and wanted her to play a role in the movie she was preparing to invest. Emma Watson has been very free recently. In addition, he heard that it is a big production that cooperates with China and the United States, and it is also a production promoted by the agency. He was a little moved. Stephen also said that he invested in the movie.

In addition to making Emma Watson a little envious, she was also surprised that Stephen was a basketball player. Although he was very profitable, he did not expect to make money in filming. Moreover, Stephen's investment plan also received strong support from the company, which gave her some understanding of Stephen's influence.

After a few phone calls, the two of them established a good personal relationship. Stephen was not an honest person. Emma Watson was another beauty with a charming temperament. Gradually, Stephen had a little more teasing on the phone, but Stephen really didn't expect that she would come to Seattle. Now he only prayed that the movie props preparations could be finished quickly, and after filming started, Emma Watson had no reason to stay here.

In this way, the second game between the Supersonics and the Rockets began. When Stephen asked the staff for tickets, he specifically ordered that he would not have the same tickets, but he didn't know that Emma Watson and Situ Yulin and Mo Xueru happened to meet when they entered the court.
