Seattle or Supersonic fans were naturally very happy to see it, but apart from them, both Magic fans and neutral fans were very dissatisfied with such a game. It was too unsexy and too unchallenged. It seemed that the Orlando Magic was like they had no power to fight back. What's the point of such a final?

No wonder the neutral fans are not satisfied. What they want to see is a passionate duel, a real fight, a goal from time to time. In the current finals, none of these are even a bit far behind. This naturally makes the fans a little unexcited. Such a one-sided game really makes people uninterested.

Stephen is still fighting against the entire Orlando Magic. No matter who attacks the opponent or who defends the opponent, it seems that there is no impact for Stephen. He only scores according to his own feelings and rhythm.

Hildotkgru and Rashad Lewis went down to rest, replaced with Redick and Dwight Howard. The Magic wanted to use Masingotatt to help Dwight Howard open the situation in the inside, but the Supersonics also replaced Yao Ming and replaced Sergiy Baka. The double tower lineup re-keyed the center, which made Seattle fans shouted excitedly.

The Western Conference Finals were so tragic that the Supersonics didn't use such a lineup. When they played against the Orlando Magic, they even put out the double towers that were more bluffing than practical. Is this a kind of emphasis or a kind of contempt, but no one dared to think deeply.

Yao Ming and Cooperd were standing there, let alone Dwight Howard, even Masingo Tatt could not squeeze into it. Now the basket is like a heavy press, whoever goes in can only be squeezed into meat pie. Masingo Tatt has the ability to shoot from the outside, and Kupperd is more flexible, and Dwight Howard is still defending by Yao Ming. He tried two consecutive shots but failed to make it. Fortunately, it caused Yao Ming's foul, but Dwight Howard only made one of his two free throws, wasting a great opportunity.

Stephen tirelessly brushed his scoring data, occasionally making assists. Until now, he has 26 points, four rebounds and six assists. The half has not ended yet, and he is already in the All-Star data. However, with the team's lineup being relatively strong, and the lead is relatively large, Stephen has also gradually begun to pay attention to sharing the ball rights with the team.

**Redick is the only player in the Orlando Magic's lineup who can score normally. He was the top defender at the time in the college league. His three-pointer broke the highest personal record in the college league. He had perfect offensive shooting ability. At the same time, he could run tirelessly. However, his physical fitness is average, his running and jumping ability is not strong, and his height is not too good. He has poor defense and no passing ability. For a 1.93-meter-old player, it is a bit too unacceptable. This makes him not very optimistic in the draft. In the end, the Houston Rockets, who are very interested in him, chose Rudy Guy and exchanged for Sean Bathirl, and he fell to the eleventh position and was selected by the Magic.

With his shooting ability, coming to a team like the Magic that focuses on three-pointers should be able to fully utilize his personal abilities. However, just like Steve Novak, his physical ability to confront each other in this level of game is extremely uncomfortable, which affects his shooting percentage. He can barely exceed 40% of the mid-range shooting and less than 40% of the three-point shooting. Such shooting percentage is not outstanding in this system, and his shortcomings of being unable to defend are real, so he does not have much chance to play.

However, the other players on the team didn't feel very good. When the players on the side were Russell Westbrook, who were of similar height and not very outstanding strength, Redick's shooting ability was presented. It can be said that if it weren't for his unreasonable three-pointers in the last few minutes, the Supersonics could have widened the gap to twenty-five points in one go.

At the end of the first half, the Supersonics were already 73 to 51, leading the Orlando Magic 22 points, while Stephen's personal data came to 29 points, six rebounds and seven assists, Yao Ming's personal score also came to more than 20, while the Magic ranks no one scored 20. As for Dwight Howard, who was highly anticipated before the game, except for the first goal, the other scores came from free throws, with a total of seven points and four rebounds, which was only one-third of Yao Ming's score.

During the halftime break, many media commented on the first half, praised the Supersonics and criticized the Orlando Magic. At this time, the media no longer talked about the topic of the best center duel, and introduced the Supersonics' strengths. Other teams should learn from the Supersonics' team building experience and persist in building a lineup with one player as the core. They should not pile up stars, but forgot that in the eyes of many people, the Supersonics are also pile up stars, because now there are two and a half All-Stars in the team.

After the second half began, Stephen did not play, but sat off the court to rest, which made Magic fans involuntarily relieve themselves. Fortunately, this guy did not play, otherwise the game would be even more suspense.

However, with Yao Ming and Kevin Durant on the court, the game was not very easy. When Stephen was not on the court, Kevin Durant took over the task of offense from the outside and cooperated with Yao Ming in the inside. After adjustment and rest, the three-pointer feeling was restored to a certain extent, and even once brought the score closer to within 20. However, Russell Westbrook strongly broke through continuously and scored points at the basket, widening the score again.

Against Russell Westbrook, Jamal Nelson's physical disadvantage was too obvious and he had almost no resistance. Stan Van Gundy saw the problem and replaced Jamal Nelson with Raf Alstom. Although Raf Alstom's physical ability to fight was also not strong, it was better than Jamal Nelson. Moreover, in terms of the level of defensive efforts, how could the players trained under Jeff Van Gundy be worse?

After replacing with Raf Alstom, it was indeed much better than before, but Raf Alstom's breakthrough ability is not as strong as Jamal Nelson. However, his victory is relatively stable in the outside shooting. In fact, Raf Alstom was also a nerve knife in the past, but it has gradually matured in the past two years.

The Supersonics failed to further widen the score, but the Orlando Magic were also unable to narrow the gap. The two sides were in a stalemate. If the two sides were tied or the score difference was not large, this situation was acceptable, but when they were so much behind, they were stuck in a stalemate. The Orlando Magic must be anxious.

In the whole third quarter, Stephen did not play, but sat on the court and watched. The scores of both sides were sometimes closer and sometimes widened a little bit. Anyway, the score difference of 20 has never been broken. The Orlando Magic slowly got anxious and the pace of the game was slowly accelerating. For a team that relies on their feel, this was not a good thing, but they could not help but not do that, because they entered the fourth quarter with a score difference of more than 20 points behind. And when Stephen returned to the court, the Magic had no chance.

As expected, Stephen returned to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. As soon as he got on the court, Stephen came up and grabbed two rebounds. Then he assisted Kevin Durant and Earl Watson to score shots. After a mid-range shot, Stephen's personal data reached 31 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. With basically one quarter left, the triple-double was very promising, and the fans shouted wildly.

Stephen didn't care about this, but continued to perform at his own pace, scoring, rebounding and assisting at his own pace. Driven by his strength, the Supersonics quickly widened the gap to 30. At this time, his score had quietly received 40, and the assists also reached 11 points. If there was one more rebound, it would have reached a triple-double.

At this time, Kevin Durant's shot hit the basket and then bounced back from a distance, just in front of Stephen. After receiving the ball, Stephen did not stop any action after receiving the ball. He received the ball, raised his hand, and completed the shot in one go, not only increased his personal data to 41 points, but also got a big triple-double of 40 plus.
