For Stephen, he can't tolerate this kind of slack failure. If he is really inferior to others and loses to his opponent, or encounters the opponent's unfathomable touch or collective explosion, then he will lose if he doesn't have that ball. One team can win, this Supersonic team can't, and neither can the Chicago Bulls team that is said to be the strongest in history, but this kind of loss without hard work is absolutely intolerable to Stephen, no matter who the opponent is , and for Kurt Thomas' state, Stephen has tolerated it for a long time.

As for Kurt Thomas, as a 35-year-old veteran and the oldest veteran on the team, since among the existing players on the Sonics, the team is already very old, then he can only In terms of qualifications based on age, even if Stephen is the boss of the team, he must maintain a certain amount of respect for himself. This is one of the rules of the locker room.

In the Spurs, although Robert Horry and Van Exel were not from the Spurs, they had a certain right to speak in the locker room because of their age. For such a veteran, even Popovich I respect them very much, not to mention Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, and the others, and because Stephen mixed with them, he was accepted by the locker room very early and became a mainstream figure, so the cruelty of the locker room is fundamental Just can't feel it.

When it came to the Sonics, it was established as the core of the team from the very beginning, with support from top to bottom, and no one dared to challenge his status, so he didn't know much about these low-level players, just like Ke Reese Wilcox, although not born or in the Sonics team, is also the oldest player on the Sonics team, and his age is just in his prime. Three's position is not guaranteed, and his position in tactics is also declining day by day, naturally there is a lot of dissatisfaction.

But under the team's consecutive victories, all this has been covered up, and there is only one core in the locker room, the young one has Coupard, the older one has Robert Horry, and Durant dare not challenge Stephen's position , Watson took the initiative to seek refuge, in this case who would dare to come forward.

When the playoffs failed, Chris Wilcox was going to have a showdown with the management, but he caught up with the change of ownership of the team. When he wanted to resolve this matter before the start of the season, the team had already put He was traded to the Houston Rockets, so there is nothing to mention, but Chris Wilcox performed very well in the Rockets. Due to the departure of Yao Ming, the Rockets had to rely on Chris Wilcox as a An inside player has given him a lot of shooting opportunities and a very high tactical status. Although he is not as high as Yao Ming, at least he looks much better in terms of statistics.

You must know that it is not so easy to find inside players who can get [-] plus [-]. Now not only in the commercial market, but also on the court, the Rockets also feel the pain of losing Yao Ming. Galloping on the court, the Rockets, no matter how painful it is for the team or the fans, fortunately, Clanton has left Houston, otherwise he will be accused by thousands of people.

It is precisely because he has not experienced any locker room struggles that Stephen has no experience in this area at all. In normal times, all his thoughts are on training and competitions, and he knows very little about the mental state of his teammates. status, and no one is willing to communicate with him, and this role originally belonged to Robert Horry, but this season, after Robert Horry became an assistant coach, he spent less time with the players. illness, and didn't put much thought into the team, so there was a problem with the team's internal atmosphere, and no one knew.

Now the Sonics team is like a high-speed running team. If you want to move forward with the team, you must run with all your strength, and at the same time, you have to constantly improve yourself. For some young players or players with aspirations, They will naturally put in their best efforts, but for players who have no pursuit, or really have no ability, it is really not so easy to keep up with the team.

This is the case with Kurt Thomas. After getting the pension contract, he has no motivation and pursuit. In addition, the pension contract is indeed a bit low. It's so important, it's worth such a little money, just like the Rockets signed Bonzi Wells at a low price back then, Kurt Thomas is old and has problems with his condition, but the more important problem is still psychological.

If Robert Horry is still on the team, or is still responsible for his duties, then Robert Horry will definitely communicate with him and report to the team in Kurt Thomas' situation. In the case of singing all the way, many things were overshadowed by the victory.

Facing Kurt Thomas' obvious provocative response, Stephen was taken aback for a moment. Stephen really didn't expect Kurt Thomas to do this. It was obvious that you didn't play well, so Stephen immediately said to him: "Play well, this game I don't want to lose."

Stephen's tone became more intense, with a hint of questioning, and Kurt Thomas immediately said not to be outdone, "I have been playing for more than ten years, and I don't need you to teach me."

Stephen was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw the camera sweeping over, he immediately stopped talking, Kurt Thomas also knew that he was being unreasonable, so he immediately stopped talking, put on a smile on his face, and then the two talked Started moving forward with a smile.

Some media or reporters saw this scene, but when they wanted to record it, the matter was over, and the fans were optimistic about the unhappiness between the two, but this is also normal, who is Kurt Thomas The mistake was so obvious.

Stephen didn't say anything more, but when he came back, Kurt Thomas wasted another good opportunity. Stephen couldn't bear it anymore, and made a gesture to Carlesimo. Carlesimo immediately understood Stephen's meaning, Nick Collinson immediately stood in front of the technical statistics table, waiting for the opportunity of a dead ball to replace Kurt Thomas.

Who knew that Kurt Thomas saw Nick Colin standing there and was about to change himself off, and immediately fouled Chris Paul who was dribbling, and took the initiative to apply for the opportunity to end. Seeing this, not only Stephen's face turned livid, but also Even Carlesimo and other teammates looked very bad.

After all, the dispute between you and Stephen may be just a personal conflict between the two of you, but if you don’t take the interests of the team seriously and do something that actively hurts the team, then everyone will be hurt, Carlesimo is about to Get angry at Kurt Thomas, you must know that he was choked by Sprewell later because his attitude and words were too annoying, he is not a kind Lord, but Kurt Thomas didn't wait for him at all Showing off his power, he walked directly in front of them to the passage to the locker room.

This is red.bare.Nakedly presenting the contradictions and discord within the team to the world is a big taboo for a team. The locker room does not just refer to the room where you change clothes and take a shower, but refers to the players getting along and communicating in private. In football, the locker room is very sacred, and even the chairman of the team cannot enter. In basketball, although it is not so serious, it is also very confidential and is not known by others.

After replacing Nick Collinson, the disadvantage of the Sonics at the fourth position became more obvious, and because of Kurt Thomas, most players were affected. Although they were still playing very hard, the point difference Very much not shrinking, and still expanding further.

David West is a bit like Antawn Jamison's "non-three" type of player, but he has more low-post offense and rebounds than them. Nick Collinson is far behind him in terms of athletic ability. Too much, David West speeds up casually, leaving him behind, unless he blocks ahead of time, but it's not that easy.

After watching for a while, Carlesimo felt that it was a mistake to replace Nick Collinson. Thinking of this, he replaced Nick Collinson and replaced him with Coupard. As a result, Coupard was even worse after he went up. David West is just a mid-range shot, and he can make Coupard's shots so ecstatic, and the shots are too accurate.

Just at this time, it was time to replace Yao Ming, and Carlesimo replaced Serge Ibaka. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. Although the defensive skills were still very immature, he couldn't hold back his body. Good quality, even faster than David West, quick response, quick bounce, very strong desire to chase the ball, which makes up for his technical defects.

But restricting David West does not mean that the Sonics will be able to gain an advantage on the field. David West is not so active after all. Dele immediately became active, and Coupard's weakness in athletic ability was caught by Tyson Chandler, and he scored consecutive alley-oops with Chris Paul.

Moreover, Stojakovic's three-pointers began to take off again. Although Durant's shooting skills are good, he is still not enough to face such a professional three-point shooter, and his defense is really not very good. It was oppressive. In this case, no matter how hard Stephen tried, he could only temporarily gain a certain advantage. The point difference that was finally narrowed was quickly opened again until the end of the first half.

Entering the locker room, Kurt Thomas has already showered, changed clothes, and is lying on the massage table enjoying himself, with earphones on his ears. Now this Supersonic team, except for Kurt Thomas, is only Yao Ming’s age The biggest one, but Yao Ming is a person who doesn't like to stand out, so everyone looks at him lying there, and then what other people should do, Carlesimo doesn't care about him, and when the time is coming, arrange Take a look at the tactics and bring people back on the field.
