Chapter 900 A performance that lives up to expectations

() Relying on Yao Ming's power, the Supersonics kept the point difference at more than [-] points. The Nuggets have been chasing hard, but the offensive strength of the fully fired Supersonics is not inferior to them , Billups still stayed on the court when Stephen went to rest for a short time. The Nuggets' offense was very crazy at one point, but the other players on the court fought hard to keep Stephen off the court. You have to go back to the field.

Kevin Durant was the main reason why the Sonics were able to withstand this offensive. He and Du Fei teamed up, and with the support of the inside line, they firmly withstood this wave of onslaught from the Nuggets. When they arrived on the field, the Sonics still held a nine-point lead, and two and a half minutes had passed in the fourth quarter at this time. If they hadn't gone through the baptism of the playoffs, their players must not have this ability.

The long time behind made the Nuggets players a little anxious. Before the game started, they still dreamed of using offense to conquer the key center like the regular season, thinking that the Sonics would definitely be defeated by the Nuggets just like the regular season. The team's offense was full of teeth. I didn't expect that the Sonics would go all out to attack, not inferior to the Nuggets at all. Even when the team's core Stephen didn't show his strength, they could still lead the Nuggets. .

This is something that the Nuggets players never expected. They thought that the Sonics would definitely be different from the regular season. Although they swept the Rockets, everyone knows what is going on with this Rockets team. The Nuggets also won the three games against each other, so they don't take the Rockets seriously.

Compared to the super strong San Antonio Spurs that they defeated, the Sonics just took advantage of the rankings and picked a weak opponent. The sweeping record does not prove anything. Those who won only after the test, psychologically, they have an advantage, but in the game, it is not the case now, the performance of the Sonics is better than them.

And it's still their best offense, which makes the Nuggets players unacceptable, especially when the game is about to end, the Nuggets still can't take the initiative, which naturally makes people very anxious.

But the more anxious they were, the more chaotic they played, and the offense was fragmented and unable to continue. At this time, the Sonics slowed down their offense and played very rhythmically. Although the Nuggets attacked He has excellent abilities, and has a veteran point guard like Billups, but he is still very uncomfortable with this rhythm-controlled style of play. The momentum of chasing points is getting weaker and weaker, and he is about to lose hope of victory. up.

At this time, Billups stood up as before, and Stephen was still defending him, but mainly defended his passing, not his offense. At this time, Billups' big heart seemed to be activated all of a sudden. It was the same, constantly exporting energy, reflected on Billups, and suddenly, Billups seemed to be a different person.

Could it be that Billups was leveling and fighting monsters on himself just now, and now that the experience slot is full and he has automatically leveled up, why did he suddenly become so powerful? Stephen felt that he still underestimated Billups' ability, especially his In terms of offensive ability, as a legendary point guard, Billups should have sacrificed his own offensive ability. Otherwise, with his ability, averaging [-] plus per game is definitely not a problem.

Don’t think it’s easy to average 22 plus per game. You need to know that among the [-] teams in the league, there are [-] team bosses. Their shooting rights are more or less unrestricted. Getting [-] plus should not be a problem Yes, but in this season, there are only [-] individuals who averaged over [-] points per game.

These 22 people represent 22 teams. No team has two such players. Except for Stephen, Kevin Durant and Yao Ming are all close to 20 points in the Sonics, so they are also Ranked No.20 five and No.[-] eight in this list.

It is the only one with three players in the top 30 of this list. Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics scored 20 plus, Ray Allen ranked No. 20, and Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs scored [-]. , Tim Duncan is close to twenty, ranking No.[-] six, while the Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant scored twenty, Pau Gasol ranked No.[-] four.

From this list, it can be seen that the offensive ability of these strong teams is not bad, and three players from the Sonics have entered this list, which also confirms their strength. After all, Boston Kyle, who is also a Big Three lineup Both the Specials and the San Antonio Spurs entered with only two players.

These people are not only the backbone of the team, but also the backbone of the league's survival. There are no fans who like to watch a lot of unknown players play on the court. In a commercial league, star players are the basis for survival, and When Billups was in the Detroit Pistons, he looked at the team's offense in an orderly manner, with a very balanced shot distribution and scoring. After arriving in the Denver Nuggets, he not only ensured that Carmelo Anthony's shots were not affected, In addition to not causing Carmelo Anthony's dissatisfaction, the shot rights will be reasonably allocated to other teammates. This is the reason why the Denver Nuggets are so good this season.

As for his offensive shooting, once his fighting will erupts, few people can resist it. Stephen was very keen to discover Billups' explosion, and immediately strengthened the defense of Billups' offensive scoring. , and also started his own scoring.

Because after a period of outbreak of touch, whether it is Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook, who was replaced later, the touch has declined. With the pressure, the Nuggets have already caught up with the score.

The cooperation between Stephen and Coupard is very tacit, because among all the players, Coupard is the one who has played with Stephen for the longest time. After the blood change, Coupard came here, and then participated in all the games without landing a game. Coupled with the experience of the two in college, naturally no one can compare.

The two teamed up, one inside and one outside, and they played very well, which also made the Nuggets' defense exhausted. Coupard didn't suffer too much in the confrontation with Nene Hilario, although he was not as flexible as Nene Hilario Leo, but the advantage in strength and tonnage is much stronger than that of Nene Hilario.

Stephen's cooperation with Yao Ming and Coupard have a lot in common in many cases. The dribbling ability of both of them is not very good, so once they are in the right position, they must pass the ball. Kuppard Pard's athletic ability is worse than Yao Ming's, but his offensive skills and height are not as good as Yao Ming's.

But even so, Kupard's performance made Yao Ming sit on the sidelines and frowned. He was not jealous because of Kupard's performance, nor was he afraid that Kupard's growth would affect his status. It was just a manifestation of his thinking. He saw the shortcomings of his cooperation with Stephen in Coupard, and thought about how to cooperate with Stephen better.

A player must always think about how to improve himself. Sometimes what he improves is not only his own skills or physical fitness, but also his coordination and understanding of the team's tactics. Why do many talented players who did not enter the league enter the league? , or it was a flash in the pan, or it was lost in the world, because they couldn't transition from their basketball to the league's basketball, and Yao Ming came from another country's low-level league and could grow into The current state has a lot to do with his progress all the time.

Stephen's score is constantly rising, and the two sides are also constantly climbing to the top, 110 points, 120 points, and finally the score of the two sides is fixed at 130 to 120 points, and the Sonics are only five points away. The advantage won the first victory in the Western Conference semifinals. Stephen's performance in the last quarter is the key to the team's victory. Otherwise, it is likely to continue to lose to the Nuggets. In the end, Stephen scored 33 points, ten rebounds and ten With a triple-double of one assist, three steals and two blocks, Billups contributed 24 points, seven rebounds, [-] assists and two steals.

Many media experts believe that this game is the real test of the Sonics in the playoffs, and what worries many Sonics fans is the record of the Denver Nuggets against the Sonics in the regular season. Everyone pointed out that whether the Sonics can win this game and set a tone for the entire series, Stephen is the most critical, and Stephen's performance has lived up to expectations, and he has made his own responses in both defense and offense. Some contributions.
