Although Wilkins said that he was much worse than Lewis in height, and he was even more incomparable with Lewis in terms of fame, but in defending Stephen's post-up singles, Wilkins did much better than Lewis, and he was always relaxed. Loosely attached to Stephen's back, as soon as Stephen turned around, he was slapped by him, and the ball went out of bounds. Although the ball still belonged to the Spurs, it interrupted Stephen's attack.

However, this guy's offensive ability is far behind Lewis. He mainly plays to defend Stephen. Naturally, Stephen doesn't need to put most of his energy on defense. The effect of post-up singles is not very good. Others are, Stephen Started to show other ways to score.

Slipping the bottom line for a dunk, a one-step jump shot outside the three-second zone, a small drop shot facing the basket, and a shot from outside the three-point line. Except for the last three-pointer, all the others were hit. Stephen's scoring continued to rise So, soon, the first quarter was over, and Stephen had scored fourteen points.

Entering the starting lineup did not affect his scoring efficiency at all. It made the two experts who commented on his scoring decline before the game feel bad. Let alone [-] points in a single quarter, if he can score [-] points, that is a very good player. stats, not to mention that Stephen also caused Lewis three fouls to end the game early.

The Sonics lost one of their offensive twin stars at once. Ray Allen was alone, and the Spurs led by [-] points in the first quarter, which happened to be Stephen's score, and Lewis' fate was not only in the The loss in scoring, for Ray Allen, Lewis is the only one in the team who can cooperate with him and complete many tactics. Without Lewis, he can only rely on him to fight alone. The opponent is Bruce again. Bowen, the guy he hates the most, although he also scored twelve points, each of his twelve points was obtained under extremely difficult circumstances, and he owns two-thirds of the team the number of shots.

The second quarter started soon, and Popovich did not replace all the substitutes as before, but only replaced Nesterovic with Muhammad. Nesterovic's ability cannot be said to be lacking , but physical fitness has always been an important factor restricting his playing time, and without enough playing time, how can the coach dare to reuse you, and naturally it is impossible to get a big contract.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Stephen expressed a little silence, and his desire to attack seemed to have suddenly decreased. He began to frequently play for his teammates and pick and roll. He grabbed three basketball boards and sent out two. Assist and a block.

Nearly halfway through the second quarter, the Spurs finally began to rotate their lineup. At this time, the Spurs had already led by as much as [-] points. Except for Stephen and Muhammad who had just played, the other starters were all After the break, Robert Horry, Michael Finley and Van Exel were replaced.

And the supersonic side also began to rotate. Stephen saw it, ha, and immediately smiled. Lewis appeared in front of him again. Seeing Stephen smiling at him, Lewis still had a hesitant expression, but he was able to control himself. emotions.

Ray Allen rested off the field, and the Supersonic team naturally left Lewis alone. In this way, Lewis can't help but shoot casually. In addition to the newly replaced Wilcox inside, he still has a certain offensive ability. In addition, Lewis occasionally played with him, and the others just acted as a running and passing machine there.

As a result, Stephen's defensive pressure has greatly increased. Although there is no cooperation from Ray Allen, Lewis is also very threatening when fighting alone, especially when he is the only one on the field, his style of play is even more arbitrary. , Unscrupulous, Stephen also found that Lewis's ability to stand out from the second-round pick is indeed very strong, especially in terms of scoring, and Stephen is still a bit resigned to this point.

In particular, Lewis can take both inside and outside in terms of offense, and although Stephen also has a certain inside offensive ability, after all, he is too short, less than two meters tall, regardless of your strength and jumping, but the disadvantage of height is that you cannot pass These two items can be made up for. People who don't dance are at the same height as you when you jump, so you can imagine who is more active.

No matter how high your jumping is, no matter how good your continuous jumping ability is, no one will raise your hand fast. Whether it is shooting shots, blocking shots or grabbing rebounds, the height advantage is very important, and Lewis' height of [-] meters has such a great talent Advantages must be fully utilized.

Stephen was forced to pay a foul to prevent Lewis from shooting. Seeing the confident smile on Lewis's face again, Stephen turned around and immediately punched Lewis again. The apparently provocative move still annoyed Lewis very much.

However, he also knew that with three fouls on his back, he really couldn't foul again, otherwise he would have to leave the field early to rest, so his defense was a little timid. The moment Stephen turned around, even if he had a chance to shoot, it was because of He hesitated for fear of a foul and lost the opportunity. When Stephen turned around and jumped and dunked directly, he didn't even have the guts to make a shot.

Stephen strengthened the physical contact in the defense against Lewis. His own foul problem is not too serious, and it is on his own home court, so there is no need to worry about the referee's special targeting. Lewis and Ray Allen do not like physical contact. The confrontation is what the league is famous for.

Sure enough, after Stephen strengthened his physical confrontation, Lewis' offense immediately dropped by one level of firepower. For Stephen, who was bravely approaching, he either made an early shot or found a way to bypass it. It affected the shooting percentage, and the Supersonic team, which relied on him alone, was not much better. By the end of the first half, the Spurs had established a 22-point lead, and Stephen also scored [-] points and [-] points. Rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal.

In the second half, the Spurs continued to use the bench lineup of the first half, but the Sonics replaced all the starting players. Popovich knew that his bench lineup could not cope with the offensive firepower of the Sonics. But still let the substitute side stay on the field, one is that the own side has an advantage of more than [-], and the other is to let the substitute lineup kill the first few waves of the Sonics.

Sure enough, as soon as the main force of the Sonics came on the court, an unprecedented offensive broke out immediately, especially the chain reaction between Ray Allen and Lewis. Both of them had the range of the entire half court and knew each other very well. , I got a lot of opportunities between echoes.

Although Stephen tried his best to defend the opponent, he has basically never played since the beginning of the game, and his physical strength is also lacking. In addition, without Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley's defense against Ray Allen was not successful. Sometimes he still needs to help defend Ray Allen. He is exhausted on the court, but it is still difficult to curb the opponent's scoring momentum.

Although Stephen worked very hard, the hard work was not ineffective. It was because of his hard work that the supersonic's strong offensive only narrowed the gap to [-] points, and Stephen was also extremely strong on the offensive end. The method is to ignore the defense as nothing, especially in terms of causing the opponent to lose position. Lewis did not dare to confront Stephen because of repeated fouls on his back. Every time Stephen attacks, others need to come to help Lewis defend, so naturally give Others create space, and Stephen's pass will follow.

More than half a quarter of hard work has passed. Although Stephen's gains in statistics are not very outstanding, his score has only increased by five points, and his assists have only increased by two, but the effect on the Spurs is huge. After his persistence, the Spurs' defense did not collapse, and it completely wiped out the opponent's spirit when he first came on the court.

At this time, Popovich finally made a substitution, replacing all the players on the field, and replaced them with a lineup such as Oberto, Duncan, Bruce Bowen, Ginobili, and Parker. At that time, Popovich rarely praised Stephen.

Facing the Spurs, whose offense and defense were all strengthened, the Supersonics were no match on both ends of the offense and defense. The Spurs quickly scored an [-]-[-] score, and the Spurs quickly widened the gap between the two sides. More than twenty points.

Although the game has lost hope, but the main force of the Sonics still stays on the court, then the Spurs are embarrassed to take the initiative to replace the main lineup. If they have not given up on the game, you should replace the main force first. An insult, some teams or players care about that.

It wasn't until the leading advantage expanded to [-] points that all the main players of the Sonics left the field. At this time, there were only more than four minutes before the end of the game. Popovich looked at Stephen who was sitting there panting. , Considerately did not put Stephen back on the court.

In fact, Stephen really wants to play and finish the rest of the game, at least he can add a few more points, maybe if he works hard, today's score will reach [-], so maybe he can get the best of the game , enjoy the post-match interview treatment, but unfortunately, it seems that there is no such hope now.

In this game, Duncan scored 28 points, but had 24 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. Parker scored [-] points and six assists. Except for the two of them, Stephen scored [-] points, seven rebounds and six assists. Three blocks, in terms of statistics, all three of them are eligible to be the best in the game.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the challenged Seattle SuperSonics at home with 110 84-[-]. In the selection of the best player in the game after the game, Stephen unexpectedly won this award, which surprised Stephen. Duncan received the award.
