The Sonics decided to start with defense first, especially the defense at the basket. For this reason, Yao Ming and Serge Ibaka have made enough mental preparations. Who knows that after the second half, the Nuggets' offense The style changed suddenly. Almost all the offenses were outside shots. Even if they were not three-pointers, they were shot as soon as they entered the three-point line.

In this way, the Sonics had no choice but to expand their defense, but the Nuggets immediately adjusted and began to shoot inward, but they never went to the basket. , The Sonics only cared about raising their own defensive intensity, and the offense did not change in the slightest.

The fans in the Key Center Arena reluctantly called Stephen's name. Stephen responded by scoring eight points in a row, but the Nuggets' scoring momentum was not much worse than him. Shrunk by two points.

"The Impossible Stephen doesn't seem to be really impossible." A die-hard Nuggets fan who flew over from Denver to Seattle to watch the game said to his companion next to him. The team can still take the lead, and it looks like they are going to win the game, which really makes this fan a little excited, talking and twisting non-stop.

"Because we have Chauncey now, I think Chauncey is the best, he can make a team play the best ability, and this is not what Stephen can do, this year's MVP should be It’s Chauncey’s.” His companion stared intently at the arena with a small telescope, and all eyes were on Chauncey Billups, a loyal fan of Chauncey Billups. It was when Lupus was in the Detroit Pistons. After knowing that Chauncey Billups was traded to the Denver Nuggets, he immediately bought a package ticket for the entire season, and Chauncey Billups did not give up. He was disappointed. After joining the team, the team immediately achieved immediate results, and their combat effectiveness was greatly improved. In the playoffs, they even defeated the old strong team San Antonio Spurs. [

"Carmelo Anthony is our core, and Chauncey is just a supporting role. Without Carmelo Anthony's super offensive ability, Chauncey Billups is not that big at all, but if the team doesn't It would be great if Allen Iverson was traded away and Chauncey could be exchanged at the same time, he will definitely be able to balance the relationship between the two, then the Nuggets will be called amazing." This is obviously Carmelo Anthony's fans, but he didn't belittle it too much. After all, after Billups came, the effect on the team was still obvious.

"Huh, Carmelo, a guy who can only score, but you said that this idea is very good, but it is impossible to realize, because we can't get Chauncey Billups without paying Allen Iverson, don't I forgot the league's trading balance principle. Although Chauncey Billups is more suitable for the current team, I still think that we are the one who suffers from this deal. But now it seems that Detroit has not taken advantage of it. Allen Iverson's personality is too personal, and the Pistons team that emphasizes the team is not suitable for him at all, and others still exclude him. If it were me, I would not be willing to be a substitute." I am a fan of Billups, but I also love Allen Iverson very much, so I immediately complained about Allen Iverson who was left out in Detroit.

"After this season, the Detroit Pistons' contract with him will also end. In that case, you say whether he will return to our team. At that time, I believe that there will be absolutely no team in the league that will be our opponent. "This guy is very knowledgeable about the situation in the league.

"I don't think the possibility is very high. If he returns, he will return to the Philadelphia 76ers and will not return to our place. It is not a good memory for him." Mentioning Allen Iverson, the two It's a bit of a pity. With his status and ability, it's really heartbreaking to fall into this position.

"That's right, Philadelphia is his home. We're just a journey for him, and it's an unpleasant journey. It's definitely not going to happen." Both of them knew that the team traded Allen Iverson away. Too happy, even if he wanted to return, he would not return to the Nuggets.

While the two were talking, the game between the Nuggets and the Supersonics was still going on. The Nuggets' offense was changing, so that the Supersonics' defense could not be targeted. Untargeted defense was the starting point. It doesn't have much effect, even if Stephen works hard, he can block one person and two teams, and he can also block all five Nuggets players, unless he has the double body technique.

So although the Sonics are not playing badly, the point difference is not so easy to narrow. Until the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two sides is still more than [-] points. Stephen's personal score has reached [-] points, but still Make up for it.

Because Stephen spent most of his energy on defense, his shooting rate was not ideal and he wasted a lot of opportunities. However, if he passed the ball, his teammates would also waste opportunities. This made the Supersonics see no prospect of victory. Fans Their cheering sounds are also powerful, I don't know how to cheer for the team.

Finally, Stephen and Yao Ming worked together to narrow the point difference to eight points, and was pulled away by JR Smith's shots. Stephen came to defend JR Smith, and Carmelo Anthony made consecutive shots from outside the three-point line. .

George Karl has long seen the problem of the Supersonics' perimeter defense relying too much on Stephen. When arranging tactics, JR Smith and Carmelo Anthony were wide open, leaving Stephen at a loss for two, and could only focus on defending one.

The Supersonic team's preparation work is obviously not on the road. The changes in the Nuggets team are not expected. Let alone, until now, there is still no good way, so I have to watch the team fall behind, Carlesimo Sitting there frowning all the time, not knowing what to do.

It's not that he has no ideas at all, but he doesn't know if he can use it. After calling a timeout, he began to arrange tactics according to his own ideas, completely abandoning the inside line, with Serge Ibaka as the only inside player. The outside line is Kevin Durant, Du Fei, Stephen, Russell Westbrook, Earl Watson.

Indeed, at this point, there is no other way but to attack. The Nuggets' shooting from the perimeter today feels so good that defense alone is no longer enough to win.

However, after switching to this lineup, although a certain effect was achieved in a short period of time, the point difference was reduced to five points, but as the Nuggets launched an offensive again, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

The gap of a few points could not be narrowed until the end of the game. Stephen did not show his magic in this game. Although he scored 49 points again, it didn't seem to be of any benefit to the game.

In this way, the Sonics lost the fifth game and also lost a home game. Now the two sides need to return to Denver to compete for the sixth game. If they fail again, the two sides will stand on the same starting line. It will also enter the unpredictable seventh game. By that time, the Sonics will have no advantage at all.
