Although they are at their own home court, the Sonics did not work as hard as the Spurs. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of physical strength. Taking a day off makes the body more tired. Only Yao Ming and Stephen played normally, but only The game cannot be won by two people.

This season, Tim Duncan's average playing time dropped further, to only 33 minutes, and his average scoring had slipped to below [-] points last season. When he was below [-], he was still the team's scoring leader, but this season, the team's scoring leader is already Tony Parker. This is an obvious performance. There is no team where the boss is not the team's scoring leader Yes, of course, except for point guard-type team bosses like Steve Nash and Chris Paul.

Many people think this way, Tim Duncan is really old, the Spurs have completed the renewal, Tim Duncan retreated behind the scenes, Tony Parker stood on the front desk, and many people feel regretful, if they knew Tim Duncan Duncan gave up the position of team leader so early, it would be great if he kept Stephen.

Tim Duncan's rebounds per game are still above double digits, and his assists have not dropped significantly, but his average blocks per game have dropped below two. For a nearly 33-year-old player, he averaged [-] points and [-] rebounds per game. [-] assists and [-] blocks, such data is still great, but for Duncan, it has indeed clearly seen a decline.

But if you compare the data of other top power forwards, you can refer to the data of Kevin Garnett this season, [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists. Pau Gasol and Duncan are relatively close in scoring and assists , but there is a certain gap between rebounds and blocks.

But even Duncan, who is in an incomplete state, does not have an advantage against Yao Ming defensively, but also, facing his offense, the Sonics also have nothing to do. On the outside, Tony Parker's breakthrough is still He was extremely sharp, and his small throws were becoming more and more superb. At the same time, Ginobili, who was recovering from his state, was even more like a poisonous snake.

Kevin Durant's performance in this game was a bit anticlimactic. He performed very well in the first half of the first quarter and was the main force of the team's scoring, but he was weak in the second half, especially when the Spurs replaced Bruce Bowen. After defending, in the pre-match gathering, Bruce Bowen has already stated that he will retire after this season, because he didn’t know the reason for cherishing it when he was young, and his physical condition was very poor. Now, he can’t hold on Two 10 minutes.

Only the player knows the body of the player. When he is unable to cope with this level of confrontation on the court, his technical experience is useless, especially for defensive players like Bruce Bowen. Without physical strength, there is no defense. Without defense He can't reflect his own value.

And more importantly, Bruce Bowen has nothing to pursue, and the most terrifying thing is not having the motivation to fight. He is not like many old players who work hard to get a championship ring. championship rings, and some teams are reluctant to retire because of the pressure of life, but Bruce Bowen is not necessarily, he is good at financial management and has a lot of savings in his hands, so his plan is to wait until after retirement, and then return to the team. Go to university and finish your studies.

Many aspiring players will do this after retirement. Bruce Bowen is not the only one. Even Stephen also has such plans. After retiring, he will go back to school to get another degree.

Before the game, the players of the two teams held a small-scale gathering, but during the game, they were merciless. Stephen made a smooth breakthrough to Bruce Bowen, but was tripped by Bruce Bowen with his thigh , fell to the ground all of a sudden, Tim Duncan stretched out his hand to pull Stephen up, Stephen ignored it, but waited until Yao Mingguo pulled himself up

In fact, it’s not that the players can’t get up on their own after they fall to the ground. On the one hand, everyone is taller, and it’s more difficult to get up by themselves, and it’s easier to ask teammates to help; fart.The posture is not very elegant, so it is usually pulled up by others.

After coming back, when defending, Stephen secretly elbowed Bruce Bowen to make you dare to fuck me. I don’t know if you have taught me all these tricks. Bruce Bowen can only do this. I smiled wryly. At that time, no one would have thought that Stephen would leave the Spurs. They all thought that Stephen would take over their own position. Naturally, he taught everything about himself without hesitation. Who would have thought that the two would become rivals in a blink of an eye.

The two teams played anxiously but not fiercely. On the one hand, the Sonics really didn’t have the stamina anymore, and the Spurs’ game style in the past two years was usually relatively brisk, unlike the previous ones, which used defense forcefully. You don't have the slightest effort.

By the time of the second half, the Sonics were already very weak. As soon as the score was close, they were pulled away again. After Yao Ming took a break, only Stephen was still working hard. Looking at the Spurs' basket, even Carlesimo planned to give up the game. For some reason, the fatigue seemed to be contagious.

Stephen also lost confidence in this game in the end. There was no way. Without the support of his teammates, it was like falling into a bottomless quagmire. Give up the game, but Stephen doesn't want to leave the field, because when he leaves the field, the Spurs will definitely have to replace the main force, and let the opponent get a chance to rest for nothing. Wouldn't it be cheaper for the opponent? , Stephen still stayed on the court, and the Spurs also wanted to make a substitution, but whenever they wanted to make a substitution, Stephen would play a wave of offense.

Especially after Du Fei came on the field, he made consecutive three-pointers after receiving passes from Stephen, and almost overtook the score once. The Spurs did not dare to relax and immediately raised their vigilance. The score was successful, and the point difference was further widened. Stephen chose to end when the Spurs led by [-] points. At this time, there was less than a minute and a half before the end of the game.

In the end, the Sonics still lost the game. After losing this game, it has no effect on the ranking of the Sonics, but the Spurs are close to the record of the Mavericks. The goal of the Spurs is the third position in the West , because if they continue to stay in the fourth place in the Western Conference, they will have to face the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs. Looking at such a powerful Sonics team, the only opponent in the league that has lost twice is the Denver Nuggets , I know that the Denver Nuggets are not easy to mess with.

The Spurs did not expect to run ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers or the Seattle Supersonics. Their goal is the third place in the West, and then in the second round of the playoffs, they will face the Los Angeles Lakers. Don't watch their game After winning against the Supersonics, they actually believe that their biggest opponent in the West this season is the Seattle Supersonics. With Yao Ming, the danger factor of the Supersonics has surpassed that of the Lakers. Their weakness is the head coach superior.

The weakness of the Lakers is their bench lineup, but their head coach is their weakness, and both teams have relatively strong interior lineups, unlike the Dallas Mavericks, who only have one Dirk Nowitzki

After the game was over, since the Spurs didn't need to leave that night, the players from both sides hooked up again to have some fun. For rival teams that have a close relationship, this is the only way to go. For the two teams that aim for the championship, they can only tolerate each other's position. The Spurs have been competitive in the past two seasons. There has indeed been a significant decline, and the damage caused by Stephen's departure is only very obvious until now.

And the most valuable bargaining chip he got in exchange for Stephen was Jeff Green, but Jeff Green can only be regarded as excellent at best, and even strictly speaking, he is not even considered excellent, and he cannot be compared with Stephen, who has become a superstar. Well, Popovich's lifelong shrewd reputation has been completely lost to Stephen alone. There is no way, this deal looks too unequal now.

Although the game was lost, the Sonics won the Spurs in the following entertainment activities. In the end, both sides were relatively happy. On the second day, no training was arranged in the morning, and only one hour of training was arranged in the afternoon. , the spirits of the players have recovered.

Losing this game did not have any impact on the Sonics. On the following day, the Sonics easily defeated the visiting Chicago Bulls and pushed the Bulls one step closer to the lottery. , and then after a lapse of one day, they repelled the Utah Jazz who came to challenge, and also let the Jazz slip one step out of the playoff list. Others stopped their doubts. You must know that the Chicago Bulls are okay, but the Utah Jazz is gaining momentum.

After winning two consecutive victories, the team's state has improved significantly, and the tense atmosphere in the team has disappeared. At this time, there is a sudden bad news. While taking a bath at home, Earl Watson slipped and fell. When it comes to the arm, although there is no fracture, it is severely contused and needs to rest for at least a month. This is really not good news for the Sonics.
