In the second half of the third quarter, Stephen only allowed Kobe Bryant to score six points, and Stephen himself only scored two points poorly, but he managed to prevent the Los Angeles Lakers from overtaking the score. Holding a four-point lead, and Stephen finally managed to provoke Kobe Bryant with a small trick in the end. Finally, seeing that he couldn't be appeased, the referee gave Kobe Bryant a technical foul.

When every player is impulsive, Kobe Bryant is not a saint. He has done such things as elbowing defensive players, but Stephen's maturity has surprised many people. Going to fight an eye for an eye instead of framing Kobe Bryant, and thinking about last season, he was suspended for more than 30 games because of impulsiveness, and now Stephen is even more terrifying.

In fact, it’s not that Stephen didn’t want to do anything, but that Kobe Bryant’s anger was provoked by him. He would not be impulsive if he had been mentally prepared, and he was different from before. He used to be in the San Antonio Spurs. Part of the team, without Stephen, the Spurs are still a strong team in the West, but the Supersonics are hard to say without Stephen.

This means that the responsibility is greater, and he can no longer be as self-willed as before, and this is also a kind of maturity. Another reason is that Stephen can no longer afford the price of being suspended for so many games. The game, the team, his own image, and If Stephen can't play, Durant, who has been suppressed by him, will rise as the times require, and if he waits for Stephen to come back and then snatch the boss position from Durant, then the team will cause a turmoil.

And this is something Stephen can't afford. This year is an important year for Stephen to make an impact on the championship. If he can be impulsive and delay his own championship cause because of these trivial things, let alone that he doesn't do it, it is the team's fault. Others, Stephen would not allow that.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant sat on the sidelines for a while and reflected. It wasn't Phil Jackson who forced him to, but Kobe Bryant knew that he was not calm at this time, and he fell into the trap of this young boy. Adjust your emotions, and then play against the Sonics Stephen in a while.

Stephen appeared on the court as soon as he came up, and he played very passionately from the first round of offense. After hitting the basket like an inside player, Stephen leaned on Odom and started to play back, turning to the left for half a circle, Another half turn to the right, another half turn to the left, another half turn to the right, turning around, turning Odom behind him, and then a forward-leaning shot, helping the team get two points.

During this time period, both sides put up substitutes. The Los Angeles Lakers got two points from Chris Mim. After returning, under the defense of Trevor Ariza, Stephen did not shake Ariza for two consecutive shakes. He had no choice but to pass the ball to Coupard under the basket. Stephen would not be like Kobe Bryant, and he had to force a shot if he had no chance.

After Coupard got the ball, he let out a roar, smashed the ball on the ground, leaned back, pushed Chris to the side, then pulled up his body, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands. This is him He may not be able to deal with those first-rate centers, but he can still bully them to death when dealing with these second-rate centers.

Trevor Ariza's defense is very hard, the effect is also very good, and it makes Stephen very uncomfortable, but it is impossible to say that he can restrain Stephen, after all, he has just played and is a new force, but Stephen is already basically He has played the whole game, and now he is giving up all his strength to defend Stephen. Naturally, the effect is very good, but it is impossible for him to persist for the entire game, or even the entire fourth quarter.

Sure enough, when the Sonics attacked again, facing Trevor Ariza's defense, Stephen made a fake move forward to trick Trevor Ariza into moving, and then suddenly stepped back outside A three-point jump shot, the ball was shot into the basket very accurately, and Trevor Ariza will come back at this time.

At this time, Stephen began to open up his own scoring state. As Stephen used his footsteps to easily break through Ariza's defense again, Ariza had no choice but to choose to foul and gave Stephen two free throw opportunities in vain. A very surprising thing happened. Stephen didn’t hit any of the two free throws. It was a surprise to miss the penalty.

What they didn't know was that Stephen's emotions had entered a high stage at this time. He couldn't wait to shoot, dunk, and score.

Many people thought it was a sign that Stephen was feeling cold, but Kobe Bryant, who was sitting there, stood up, because only he understood Stephen's state, and stared at Stephen with wide eyes and motionless, to see if he would What kind of performance.

Odom made a three-pointer to help the Lakers further narrow the score, but after returning, Stephen slammed left and right to the three-pointer in the right corner, turned around and made a move to shoot, Trey Woariza immediately jumped into the air and made a block action, but Stephen was a feint.

Stephen quickly received his own movement, jumped to his left side, Trevor Ariza hadn't landed yet, Stephen had already raised his leg and raised his hand to shoot, the ball entered the frame accurately like a beautiful rainbow, when running , Stephen stretched out three three fingers, shaking towards the Lakers bench.

Kobe Bryant immediately stood up and asked for a fight, but Phil Jackson saw that Stephen was at the peak of his momentum. Even if Kobe Bryant went up, it would be impossible to prevent him and fight against him. Phil Jackson is not optimistic about Kobe Bryant, maybe it is possible to replace him with that person, but it is no longer possible.

Phil Jackson wanted to release Stephen's offensive desire for a little bit before replacing Kobe Bryant. For this reason, he specially instructed Trevor Ariza to strengthen his own defense and let Stephen work harder to score, but Stephen's scoring was too sharp , It took only three rounds, and Phil Jackson had to replace Kobe Bryant, because Stephen scored seven points in three rounds, while the Lakers didn't score a point, and then he scored like this Going on, the gap will be widened to [-] points, and it will be meaningless to play Kobe Bryant by then.

As soon as Kobe Bryant returned to the court, before he entered the game state, Stephen immediately raised the speed to the extreme after getting the ball. Kobe Bryant was only delayed by one step, and he could no longer catch up. Watching Stephen take two strides across the halfway line and take a shot, hit another three-pointer.

Don't be too good at this state. From the fourth quarter till now, Stephen has already scored fourteen points, and I haven't scored a single point. Even if I scored a little more than him before, I am far surpassed by him now. , And what makes Kobe Bryant even more unacceptable is that the team is still so far behind.

In the next two rounds, neither of them scored. Stephen was defended by Kobe Bryant and couldn't score. He naturally defended Kobe Bryant and couldn't score. The disadvantage for the Los Angeles Lakers is that they are still 5 points behind, and the game has less than [-] minutes, and if they don't score, they will lose.

Stephen doesn't mind how much he scores at all. As long as he can win the game, individual scores are not important. The two defend each other, and neither can score. Phil Jackson sat below and frowned, in order not to be caught by the camera Seeing his own expression, he turned his head aside, but happened to see a person, and wondered how he had forgotten him.
