( ) At halftime, neither player nor coach on either side showed much frustration.A draw is acceptable for both sides. For the Nuggets, although they have an advantage in the regular season, the Sonics' reputation for the league's first record is not in vain. They still lost in the middle of the game, and it is quite acceptable to be able to draw. For the Sonics, the most feared thing is to be led by others by a large score, and the most feared thing is to be deadlocked by the opponent, so there is nothing to worry about in a draw.

"In the second half, I will stay on the court and let Serge Ibaka and Coupard play. Yao Ming will take more rest off the court and let him play when I am off." Carlesimo asked Stephen if he needed to leave the court. During the break, Stephen arranged the lineup directly, and Carlesimo had no opinion about it, and discussed the play style with Stephen in a low voice, reminding Stephen to pay more attention to Billups, and then arrange it casually A few words, let the players rest at ease.

"In the second half, the two of us plus the two of them, plus Russell, me and Russell attack their inside, you respond outside and prepare to shoot, the three of us just attack, let the two of them defend, Let the opponent not get into the basket, and they can only shoot outside, give them a wave, what do you think?" Stephen turned to Kevin Durant and said, Kevin Durant what? He didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly, but Russell Westbrook, who was pointed at and squeezed over, looked very excited.

When the two sides returned to the field in the second half, George Karl didn't understand the lineup sent by the Sonics. It seemed that in his own memory, he had never seen the Sonics like this. Especially at the beginning of the second half, they usually sent a starting lineup. Even if Stephen doesn't play, it will be replaced by someone else instead of the current situation where only Stephen and Kevin Durant are the two starters among the five.

He gave Billups a steady gesture, signaling him not to worry. Billups also agreed with the coach's instructions. The unfamiliar lineup sent by the Supersonics must have changed in the way of play. , so it's better to be careful, and he immediately lowered the rhythm.

Compared with the second half of the first half, Stephen's defensive quality has dropped significantly, so Billups easily found the opportunity and passed the ball to Carmelo Anthony. Melo Anthony is a step-back pull-up jumper. Although his pull-up jumper is not as clean as Tracy McGrady, and the height is a bit low, the arc of the ball is very high, unlike Tracy McGrady. Dee was low and flat, the ball rolled through the air and fell into the basket, and the Nuggets opened up the game first, leading the Sonics.

Stephen was dribbling the ball unhurriedly, but Russell Westbrook heard that Stephen was going to play a wave in the locker room, and rushed over to provide support for Stephen. It seemed that the two of them made a cover, but When passing close by, Stephen suddenly gave the ball to Russell Westbrook.

Switching to someone else, it is very likely to make a mistake at once, but Russell Westbrook reacted very quickly. When he received the ball, he stopped at his feet, then slapped down with his left hand, and at the same time stepped with his right leg. Passed through the middle of the leg and came to his right hand, which not only protected the ball, but also did not walk, and at the same time laid the foundation for his next move.

But before he made the next move, he still took a look at Stephen, because he knew that Stephen passed the ball to himself, not to say that the ball was left to his own disposal. He was ready to catch the ball, so he made a long pass and passed the ball to Stephen.

After Stephen received the ball, he felt comfortable in his heart. Stephen seldom makes a ground pass like Russell Westbrook, because he knows that he is not a professional point guard after all. The passing technique requires long-term training to master the strength, speed and angle. At the same time, the opponent's receiving habits must also be taken into consideration. Stephen has no time to train this specifically, so Stephen's passing technique is very ordinary and does not Not too fancy.

But the passing action like hitting the ground pass is not just for looks, but also has the characteristics of strong concealment, not easy to be intercepted, and good for catching the ball, especially for players who are not good at catching the ball. Pass to his chest, making it a lot easier for him to catch the ball.

After Stephen got the ball, he lowered his body, raised his hand, and made a motion to shoot. Billups immediately jumped up to interfere with Stephen's shooting, but his movements were very careful, just for the purpose of interfering, and It wasn't blocking shots, because he knew how good Stephen was. Carmelo Anthony suffered such a loss in the first half, so how could he not be more careful.

Stephen saw that he was not fooled, but that he was just good at influencing the way of the ball, and he didn't force a shot. Instead, he lowered his head and took a step, and got under Billups' flank. Although he was short, his steps were Great, after only taking less than three steps, he started to take big strides and headed straight to the basket.

Chris Anderson hurriedly turned in front of Stephen. After suffering such a loss on Yao Ming in the first half, Chris Anderson had an extra heart. Although he stayed on the court with Yao Ming for a while in this game, but It's easy not to go to Yao Ming's side, especially when grabbing rebounds. If Yao Ming's offense is better, he will just hide aside when grabbing rebounds.

There is nothing to be ashamed of, Karl Malone was the same, Mutombo was the same, and Alonzo Mourning was the same, the famous inside player did not fall a few people under the elbow, did not have a little blood and a little injury Not really an insider star, Yao Ming made Wei stand up, Chris Anderson didn't dare to hang around him, but he didn't take Stephen seriously, because he only entered the league this season, and he was playing against the Sonics. At that time, Stephen didn't do anything too extreme, so he didn't take Stephen too seriously.

Stephen has already started three steps. Generally, people who know Stephen would not dare to stop in front. Everyone knows how powerful Stephen is in the collision. After encountering Stephen, the big shark O'Neill was amazed at Stephen's strength. He was more uncomfortable, but with the change of Stephen's style of play, Stephen seldom relied on strength to charge head-on. Firstly, it was not good for his health, and secondly, it didn't look like playing basketball if he kept hurting his opponent. , but this does not mean that Stephen has no strength.

And with Stephen's vicious reputation, no one dares to come directly to Stephen like this. Most of those who dare to do so have something to do with Stephen. They know that although Stephen's power is great, he can send it. He dared to do this because he was not worried about Stephen hurting him. Chris Anderson really didn't know, and he didn't mean to belittle Stephen on purpose. Stephen was ready for the violent impact and rushed straight over.

At the same time as Stephen jumped up, Chris Anderson also jumped up, and the two collided into each other in the air. Chris Anderson was taller, and although he was a thinner body among inside players, he was still thick compared to Stephen. A little bit, but after hitting one piece, it was Chris Anderson who flew out.

Stephen was hit and stopped for a while, and then his body continued to fly forward, but the basket was in front of him. Stephen exhaled and made a sound at this time, swung the ball heavily into the basket, and the strong basket was also crushed by the huge weight. The oppressive made a "squeaky" protest, and then Stephen let go and fell to the ground.
