() Seeing that his own three-point tactics did not achieve obvious results, after Stephen got the ball, he originally wanted to continue to shoot three-pointers, but suddenly changed his mind. After making a shooting action, he turned around very lightly and turned to Behind Sean Battier, he approached the penalty area with two swishing strides. Before Brian Cook ushered in, Stephen stopped his feet, and his body was already in the air. He leaned over and waved his arms with one hand Dunk the ball to the basket.

Since the Sonics' offense has always been dominated by three-pointers, the Rockets never thought that Stephen would suddenly give up the three-pointer and chose to dunk, so they were naturally unprepared.

After returning, Brian Cook continued to choose a three-pointer. Who knew that Stephen suddenly came out obliquely, like a roc spreading its wings, and flew the ball cover backwards. Stephen had already adjusted his body in the air. As soon as he landed, he started running and finally caught up with the ball after crossing the three-point line.

According to his current footsteps, he should take the ball and then choose whether it is a dunk or a layup to complete this fast break, which is very in line with the law of movement, but Stephen does not, after holding the ball, he turns around and faces the three-point line Running outside, not only dodged Aaron Brooks' pursuit, but also came outside the three-point line, and Stephen made another direct three-pointer.

Stephen's shot selection was very surprising. Just now he mainly used three-point offense, but suddenly it became a dunk. This opportunity is very suitable for dunks or layups. He chose a three-pointer again, although Aaron Brooks was chasing after him. Behind him, but with Aaron Brooks' small physique, even a foul should not be able to stop Stephen, and Stephen may even dunk with him without any problem.

But this is also very normal. Many of Stephen's three-pointers are fast three-pointers or fast-break three-pointers. On the contrary, there are not too many three-pointers in the normal offensive and defensive rhythm. Most of them are mid-range mid-range shots or air cut shots.

After the three-pointer, Stephen also narrowed the point difference to only two points, and then the two teams played two more rounds without scoring. After receiving a pass from Jarrett Jack, Stephen suddenly made a cross A long pass in the half court passed the ball to Coupard under the basket. After receiving the ball, Coupard jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands. The Sonics finally tied the game for the first time.

Rick Adelman immediately called a timeout, but he didn't have anything to adjust. The current lineup on the field is basically the strongest lineup he can play, except for Ron Artest, but he He also realized Ron Artest's physical problems, so this quarter, he kept him sitting off the court. Now it seems that when he was allowed to play, he replaced Bron with Ron Artest. Tebari then told the players to continue to stick to their own three-point tactics, because this is the biggest factor for the Rockets to lead the Supersonics.

In terms of offense, the current Rockets team has a big gap with the Supersonics in terms of overall strength and individual player strength. In terms of defense, there is also a big gap in overall performance. In terms of individual player defense, their There are actually two outside players who are good at defense, but when the two join hands, they can't restrict Stephen alone, so what's the point of defense?

As for the rhythm control and tactical adjustment ability, the Rockets are not the opponents of the Sonics. They can only win with three points.At the Rockets' own home court, and the feeling of all members exploded, if the Rockets still struggle to win, they can only be swept away by the opponent. It cannot be said that a game without a win and a four-game losing streak, no matter what is said, it is unforgivable.

The Rockets don't want to lose, but the Sonics also don't want to lose. If they can't even sweep an opponent like the Rockets, then the next game will only become more and more difficult. It ended with a brain shot. When he came back, Du Fei, who had just played, didn't need any warm-up at all.

Then at the end of the first half, the Sonics did not give the Rockets any chance to overtake the score, leading by three to five points until the end, relying on a three-pointer by Jarrett Jack, the point difference was widened It's seven points.

In this quarter, the Sonics made nine three-pointers and the Rockets made eight three-pointers. The three-point shooting percentages of both sides were not too bad, but due to too many shots, the shooting percentages were not too high. However, the scene looked very lively, and it was very appropriate to describe it as a three-point rain.

Although the Sonics overtook the score, but when the second half started, the Rockets made two consecutive three-pointers, narrowing the point difference to only one point, and these two three-pointers were shot by Kyle Lowry Going in, Rick Adelman finally couldn't stand Aaron Brooks' shot selection in this game and replaced Aron Brooks. The team's offense immediately improved, and Kyle Lowry's offense was more dependent. Spectrum, and the assist ability is also a little stronger than Aaron Brooks.

Under his deployment, although the Rockets still mainly use three-point tactics, they are much more organized than in the first half. On the contrary, after Stephen left the field, the Supersonics played a bit on their own. , especially Russell Westbrook, he only sees the basket or Kevin Durant in his eyes. Many people have warned him that if he can't change this problem, he only has Kevin Durant in his eyes. Durant is alone, and he's forever the Sonics' starting point guard.

You know, in the Sonics, Kevin Durant is at best the second child of the team, and this second child has to compete with Yao Ming, while Stephen is the team's undisputed leader. No one cares how close Kevin Durant is, but on the court, you must cooperate with Stephen. This is the rule, and the same is true for Kevin Durant.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the second place in the team. If the team had to choose between him and Stephen, the team would definitely choose Stephen instead of him, because this is very obvious, his only advantage The reason is that he is younger than Stephen, but he is only one and a half years younger. He is basically a player of the same era. Judging from the style of play of the two, they are not very easy to get injured, so there is no difference between them.

From a competitive comparison, it is obvious that Stephen is more than one step ahead of Kevin Durant, so under the circumstances that the team will definitely not give up Stephen, Kevin Durant will definitely not compete with Stephen for the team's position. In this way, Russell Westbrook's approach is very unwise, and it is easy to damage the atmosphere of the team.

When the Sonics' offense was chaotic, the Rockets seized this opportunity and overtook the score. Although Carlesimo replaced Earl Watson in time, the lagging score was not so easy. It's getting close.

The cooperation between Earl Watson and Stephen is the best, but it is not that Stephen is not on the court, he has no performance. His stability and balance are very necessary for a mature team Yes, after all, Jarrett Jack has been in this team for a short time, and Jarrett Jack also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, he cannot always maintain a unified game attitude. Falling into a state of inaction for a long time, I don't know what the problem is, and Earl Watson rarely explodes, but he can maintain a consistent game attitude.

As for Russell Westbrook, he plays more passionately, and he can always maintain this passionate style of play, but the problem is that he is too passionate and often ignores the team's overall tactics, but Russell Westbrook There is no big problem with Sbrook's game attitude, and he is more active in defense, and there are no big mistakes or flaws.

In general, under the premise of the existence of Earl Watson, Jarrett Jack is more in line with the requirements of a backup point guard, Russell Westbrook is more talented and has more potential, but still needs to be refined to be able to play. Become a qualified starting point guard.

Stephen was not in a hurry to play, but sat off the court for the entire third quarter, but even sitting off the court was still full of shocking power, because everyone understood that, regardless of the fact that the Rockets are now ahead of the Supersonics, Stephen It’s nothing at all, no one knows what Stephen’s scoring limit is, but everyone knows that as long as he wants to score, no one can stop him, and the more difficult things are, the more they can provoke him The attack**.

Sitting off the court can also intimidate the opponent. Although Stephen is not the only one, but looking at the league, there are only a few people who have such power. Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stephen returned to the court. Although the Rockets sent Ron Artest and Sean Battier double-teamed Stephen, but Stephen scored six points in a row and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

The Rockets are naturally unwilling to fail, but with Stephen's incomparably powerful scoring ability, any attempt to counterattack is futile. From the moment they took the lead, the ending was already doomed. The Sonics have a nine-point lead over the Rockets.

However, compared to the previous two games, this is already a great improvement. At the same time, it also allows the Rockets to see the dawn of defeating the Supersonics. As long as they can grasp it better, they should still have the possibility of winning. Seeing confidence, they also saw the hope of victory. Similarly, the Sonics also saw the hope of completing the sweep. It only takes one game to advance to the semifinals of the division. Therefore, both sides are looking forward to the early start of the fourth game .
