Stephen's offense is not a tactic. It is purely his and Robert Horry's private cooperation, but there is no way to do so. Stephen has already run to the sideline, and there is no one next to him to help. If he doesn't attack, the Pistons will block him there.

After the attack was successful, the morale of the Spurs immediately rose sharply. No matter what, it was better than Parker scored eight points alone in the first quarter. This goal was like tearing a small gap on the Pistons' iron curtain defense, and a faint light quietly emerged.

After the Pistons' ball was transferred, it came to Rashid Wallace's hands. Wallace did not hesitate to use his straight arm shot to hang the ball into the basket without hesitation. Taking advantage of the Pistons' relaxation after the goal, Stephen and Van Exel served quickly successfully, and the two of them rushed to the frontcourt, one left and one right.

The Pistons retreated very quickly. When Stephen and others arrived, Billups, Hamilton and Prince had already rushed back, and Rashid Wallace also rushed behind Stephen. Only Ben Wallace was a little slower, but that was enough. Stephen immediately carried the ball and rushed towards the basket.

Stephen squeezed Hamilton aside very toughly. Billups stretched out his sharp hand and would rather foul than break the ball in Stephen's hand. However, he hit Stephen's arm and there was no reaction at all. Facing the inside line composed of Prince and Billups, Stephen took a big step and bullied it.

Neither of them could do anything about Stephen, and was directly knocked away by Stephen. When Stephen jumped, Prince was still half of his body hanging on Stephen's shoulder. Then Stephen roared and slashed the basketball into the basket with force. The huge sound shocked the fans at the scene's ears were roaring.

The suffocating defense of the Pistons was like paper-paste in front of Stephen's absolute power. Although Stephen's power lacked explosive power, the continuous force was irresistible. When Stephen got off the basket, the three generals of the Pistons were still looking at each other.

Stephen ignored them and continued to prepare for his own defense. Stephen's Hamilton is the best player in the league who is good at running without the ball. He has practiced long-distance running since he was a child, so his running is excellent and his breath is long. He usually cannot follow him throughout the game. And as long as he runs out the opportunity to take action, Billupt's pass will come at any time. All you do is to see the emergency stop and jump shot after receiving the ball.

This skill is rarely seen in the league. Nowadays, players are increasingly relying on the advantages they bring to themselves and do not pay attention to this basic technology. Think about the reason why Hamilton was kicked out of the Wizards back then was that Hamilton was too poor in health, which led to his defense not being very good. However, after arriving at the Pistons, Hamilton signed a seven-year, 62 million long contract with the team. It has to be said that Choudumas has a good vision of identifying people.

Although Hamilton is only good at this offensive method as a shooting guard, it is a bit too single, but it is very suitable for the Pistons system. Stephen also has this feeling when defending, which is too difficult to guard against. It is almost the same as when he was running randomly. However, the running is particularly rhythmic, which will make the people behind him unconsciously run with him, and then his physical strength will drop sharply.

However, Stephen's physical strength was superman after all. He ran around and forth with Hamilton for more than a dozen times without giving Hamilton a chance. Hamilton slowed down himself, and Stephen remained alert at all times as before.

The Pistons' outside offense does not rely on Hamilton alone. Prince's offensive ability is not weak, but people are usually attracted by his defense, and Billups' own attack power is also very strong. So although Stephen defended Hamilton, the ball was still broken through by Billups and scored a layup after scoring by Van Exel.

Turning around, Stephen missed the return pass, and was intercepted by Billups, but then he made a meritorious service and snatched it back from Billups. Stephen passed the ball to Robert Horry again. However, facing Rashid Wallace's long-arm defense, Robert Horry missed the shot. Stephen took the rebound on Ben Wallace's head. It was only a little short, and Ben Wallace caught the ball. Looking at his arm that was almost twice as thick as himself, Stephen didn't feel that he would still have hope after he snatched it.

After grabbing the rebound, while Ben Wallace was falling, Stephen suddenly jumped up and avoided Rashid Wallace's block in the middle, and sent the ball into the basket, causing Rashid Wallace to foul. Rashid Wallace rushed towards the referee in anger and was hugged by his teammates. Less than two months before the beginning of the season, Rashid Wallace had already made seven technical fouls. You have the money to pay the fine, so don't implicate the team.

Stephen missed a free throw, but the rebound was picked up by Brent Barry, who was the most unlikely to grab. Brent Barry threw the ball directly to Van Exel outside the three-point line under the basket. Van Exel raised his hand and made a three-pointer. Although the ball did not make it, it created a chance for Stephen to make a tip-in.

Eight points, less than three minutes into the second quarter, Stephen alone won the points scored by the Spurs in the previous quarter. Under Stephen's leadership, the morale of the Spurs gradually increased, and accordingly, the Pistons had a little whereabouts.

According to fundamental statistics, 62% of the audience chose to watch the Miami Heat against the Los Angeles Lakers, and only 38% of the fans chose this game, but in the United States, this number is already amazing, especially because of Stephen's existence, the game was specially broadcasted in China.

Stephen's performance conquered countless fans who saw him for the first time, especially the main players of the Spurs only scored eight points under the defense of the Pistons. He scored eight points alone in more than two minutes, further highlighting his ability.

His super power won the nickname "Da Lifen". Once this nickname appeared, it immediately attracted the approval of many fans. It is different from the United States. It doesn't like to call Xiaoji or a hero. Instead, "Da Lifen" makes the fans feel very friendly.

Some people even think that from a purely perspective of strength, Stephen is undoubtedly the number one in the league, so this nickname is true. Even the host of CCTV Set 5 also mentioned it in the program as if he was a Chinese nationality.

This issue suddenly aroused discussion among many fans. Yes, if Stephen is of Chinese nationality, it will solve the problem of poor defense from the national team on the outside. Moreover, according to Stephen's data, how many assists can be obtained in a game? Wouldn't it also solve the problem of passing the ball to Yao Ming?

Some people make such a suggestion, so naturally some people pour cold water on it. Some people say that they are already American nationality, so why do they still have to come to get Chinese nationality? China does not support dual nationality, so they have to give up American nationality when they come. Who is stupid to run from the United States to China and play for the Chinese national team without a salary.

Some people say that since the other party is Chinese, they may have the intention to serve the country. Back then, who did not give up their American nationality and high-ranking officials and generous salaries, resolutely returned to China and presided over the development of the national missile project. The main concern is that the Basketball Association will not let go of its airs and persuade others, maybe it will be enough to persuade them.

Don’t be foolish. Players have always taken the initiative to ask for entry into the national team. The basketball team officials who control the national team will do that, and it will not do anything good for them. They would rather recruit more domestic players to get benefits, and they would have to worry about recruiting a foreign player.

These people are still discussing with kindness, and there are still a group of people who cannot see anyone's success. Yao Ming succeeded in the NBA and made tens of millions of dollars every year. They said that Yao Ming was just relying on his height and the Chinese market behind him. Otherwise, with Yao Ming's ability, he would not be enough to be selected for the NBA. Yao Ming has been playing for now, and he is an all-star data. They still refuse to face the reality, Yao Dasha and Yao shouted.

Now Stephen suddenly became popular in China, and they still started attacking Stephen, saying that Stephen only relied on his brute force to choose Stephen to open up the Chinese market. He had signed Bartel before, but found that Bartel had no effect on their marketing promotion, so he gave up and changed it. After not seeing that this guy was selected, the Spurs' games were broadcast more suddenly.

Others called Stephen "Da Lifen", they called Stephen a "Da Lifen", and some were called "Shi Da Man". Anyway, they had all the names, and kept publishing various articles online, criticizing all Stephen's performance.

After Rashid Wallace was made another blocking foul by Stephen, he almost went to find trouble for the referee. He was replaced by Sanders and replaced by Antonio McDyce. Compared to the Spurs, the Pistons' substitutes are indeed much worse. The Spurs can replace the full substitute lineup, so the Pistons dare not.

After replacing Rashid Wallace, Sanders observed it. Who knew that Stephen suddenly assisted Brent Barry and Robert Horry to hit three-pointers, which immediately narrowed the gap to two points. After being prepared for subsequent substitutions, Sanders had to stop, called a timeout, and arranged an attack on the lineup on the court.

As the team's brain, Billups reacted very quickly and immediately slowed down the pace of the team, allowing the Pistons to stabilize, and then began to play the ball as much as possible according to the coach's method of playing. After all, compared with the inside line composed of Oberto and Robert Horry, the combination of Ben Wallace and McDyce still has the advantage.

McDyce made two central shots in a row, and the Spurs only played once, and the scores of both sides increased to four points again. Then the scores of both sides began to rise in staggered directions. When the first half ended, the substitute lineup led by Stephen just caught up with the five-point gap.
