HP also took Stephen into their field of vision after scoring 51 points from Stephen. At the same time, they also considered that although Stephen is an American, he has a great reputation in China. The North American region still has a certain degree of acceptance, and they all retain this brand. The Asian region promotes their own brand HP. For some unknown purpose, the marketing department proposed an Asian promotion plan and included Stephen as their endorsement list.

Stephen looked at the contract, and there were no excessive requirements, but the amount of the contract was a bit too small, but Modans persuaded Stephen to agree. Anyway, HP is also a world-class company. On the one hand, it can improve itself On the other hand, you can also have a good relationship with the other party.

Stephen also knew that without a contract, the agent would have no income. The reasons Modans persuaded himself sounded reasonable, but more of him was for his own income, but it was understandable, although Stephen didn't like it money, but considering that it was not easy for Modangs, he decided to agree.

Stephen never hesitates about this kind of thing. The playoffs are about to begin. Stephen does not want to waste his time on this every day except for training. Although Stephen will not play in the playoffs for the first time Just excited or nervous, but it is also necessary to maintain a good state.

Popovich prepared a lot of tactics for the playoffs. At the same time, in order to deal with the Sacramento Kings' Princeton style of play, he also made a lot of targeted defenses. The current Kings team is no longer the previous Kings team with the best offense in the league. , Popovich didn't put much effort on them. As long as the players don't have any problems, the Spurs can play their normal strength, and it shouldn't be a problem to win the Kings.

The key is the Mavericks side. Popovich can't figure out what kind of medicine Johnson is selling, but he can be sure that the Mavericks and the Spurs must have not tried their best when they played against the Spurs last time. It's useless. With the strength of the Grizzlies, Popovich expressed doubts about whether they can force their backhands out.

It seems that we have to send someone to focus on every game over there. Popovich hired a scout and a game analyst and told them to go out to Dallas now. If you buy it in your hands, you must buy a seat at a close distance, and then observe the games of the two teams carefully throughout the whole process, and report the game analysis after each game.

Observing on the spot and watching the game video are two completely different effects. After arranging these, Popovich called Engelland over again and asked him how Stephen's recent shooting training has improved. Engelland told him For him, the improvement in hit rate is not too great, but the stability is much better than before.

Stability is good. Popovich nodded when he heard this. If the shooting percentage can be stabilized to a similar level, he can arrange a lot of tactical tasks for Stephen on outside shots. Otherwise, Popovich has no idea. .

After only two days of rest, the first game started. For the players, even the regular season is still going on, but the opponent is replaced by only one. In the crowded SBC Center Arena, zero five In the first round of the [-] season, the first game between the Spurs and the Kings slowly kicked off.

Entering the playoffs, the fanatical atmosphere of the Spurs fans has increased a bit, and the SBC Center Arena is full of people, which makes the Kings players who are used to the relatively quiet Arco Arena a bit uncomfortable, especially for their For many people, against the league's No. [-] Spurs, they obviously don't have much confidence.

In the lineup of the Kings, the most eye-catching one is Ron Artest. After being traded from the Pacers to the Kings, just when everyone felt that his technical characteristics would definitely not be able to integrate into the Princeton system of the Kings. The head coach Adelman has used a very clever way to solve this problem.

Adelman's method is to separate the team's overall offense from Artest. When playing Princeton tactics, Artest is only a fixed-point shooter, and he is given a great right to attack alone. Ball running or air cuts are fine, and Artest is not a player with a particularly strong desire to shoot. If his teammates have a better chance than himself, he will still pass the ball.

The Kings have had no real star players since Chris Webber was traded to the 76ers, and Artest isn't exactly a star player, but has always been one of the most underrated players in the league, plus The impact of the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills is barely the biggest player of the Kings.

In addition to Artest, Sharif Rahim is also an All-Star in the Kings, but he is already in his twilight years, and like Artest, he only made one All-Star, which is nothing at all. In addition to the two of them, there is also Mike Bibby, who is known as the "white devil" who has the strength of the All-Star but failed to enter the All-Star for various reasons.

Like Dunleavy and Luke Walton, Mike Bibby also has a father who was a player, but unlike others, he entered the league without the slightest help from his father, because when he was four years old, his father Abandon their whole family.

When he became famous at a young age, when he chose a university, he gave up the calling of his father, who was teaching at the University of Southern California at the time, and chose the University of Arizona, the rival of the University of Southern California, just to avenge his father, and did not answer his father's phone calls when he was in school. , When introducing others, I don’t say my father’s name.

When Stephen entered the University of Southern California, Bibby's father had already left the University of Southern California and went to the 76ers to be an assistant coach. He still heard this from the big-mouthed guy Edmondson.

Looking at Mike Bibby, who is calm and silent on the court and extremely low-key off the court, who would have thought that in high school, he was still a bad boy who was full of foul language and would even shake his fist at teammates or coaches. On the basketball court, It is also a player who only knows that he has himself and does not care about other people.

This is thanks to his mother who was sitting on the sidelines. When she felt that her son was about to become hopeless, she risked going to jail and gave Mike Bibby a hard lesson, which woke him up Mike Bibby, Mike Bibby has become what he is now, and now as Bibby matures, his mother doesn't appear on the sidelines to cheer for him every game, especially in away games, appearing here today, Probably because of the playoffs.

After the warm-up is over, start to enter the arena according to the fixed procedures. At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams also began to be displayed on the big screen. The Spurs: Muhammad, Duncan, Stephen, Michael Finley, Tony Parker, the Kings: Brad M. Le, Kenny Thomas, Artest, Bunch Wells, Mike Bibby.

"Beep..." After the referee blew his whistle, he began to throw the ball high into the air. Both Duncan and Brad Miller jumped in the air with their long arms stretched out, and moved towards the basketball. Radmiller was one line ahead and fingered the ball early, but he couldn't flick the ball over due to interference from Bradmiller, and the ball fell to an empty spot.

At this time, two white figures rushed over like lightning. It was Stephen and Tony Parker. Seeing that the two players on their side might crash into a car, the Spurs fans gasped. When they were about to collide, they suddenly shuttled past, and then Tony Parker took control of the ball, and the two rushed towards their own half in unison.

When he was about to reach the basket, Tony Parker suddenly stopped, raised his head and raised his hand, and threw the ball high above the basket. At this time, Stephen, who was closely behind him, immediately flew up, a long The figure just covered Parker's head, reaching out and pressing the ball into the basket.

It seems to be the first time in the history of the Spurs to score the opening score of the first game of the playoffs in this way. The fans immediately stood up and cheered for it. After jumping off the basket, Stephen Blowing kisses to the fans all over the field immediately made the SBC Center scream one after another.

According to private statistics from a radio station in San Antonio, among the Spurs players, who would you most like to have a one-night stand with? Before Stephen appeared, Tony Parker had the highest popularity index, but after Stephen appeared, Tony Parker arrived second.

And the female fans who usually ask Stephen for autographs and wear Stephen's No. 99 jersey account for a large part of them. This makes many of Stephen's teammates very envious. Normally, this treatment is only given to Tony Parker.

Many female fans would follow Stephen to open a house as long as Stephen beckoned. However, the few women Stephen currently has are all high-profile, and they look down on these ordinary-looking women, and Stephen is nothing. A womanizer, with such a heavy training task every day, has time to have fun, and Stephen's self-cleaning style adds to his attractiveness.

The first goal was scored by the Spurs in an alley-oop, and Stephen was so ostentatious, Artest immediately stood up, squeezed Stephen into the three-second zone with his body, and raised his hand. The layup scored two points for the Kings.

Artest's shooting ability is not too strong, but it's not too weak either. His offensive method of forcefully squeezing inside is his forte. The ability to change direction can only rely on this way of winning with force to attack.

For this kind of attack, Stephen didn't dare to stand up, because if the opponent's performance ability was a little stronger, he would cause a foul for himself, and he would get a foul as soon as the game started. Stephen would not do such a stupid thing, so Stephen Let him break in like this.
