Stephen took Ginobili, Robert Horry, Nestrovic, and Udic to the stadium. Van Exel was still placed on the injury list, so although Udic was useless, **Vic still had to use him. Since Nestrovic annoyed **Vic because of his attitude last time, he has been placed in the substitute lineup. He doesn't care about Nestrovic. **Vic, who was originally a punishment, was even more angry when he saw him, and he never returned to the main lineup.

Although the two of them were not directly tied up, the broadcast camera was still aimed at Stephen and Chris Paul. Seeing Chris Paul was extremely old and controlling the ball slowly, it gave Stephen a feeling of holding the jaw. Seeing that he had not seen him for a while, this guy made progress again.

This feeling is like everything is under control. Stephen has never seen it in Tony Parker. Ginobili always has such a temperament. Of course, it goes without saying that Duncan is even bigger than Chris Paul, but he is always covered up by his stupid images.

Yudic stood in front of Chris Paul nervously. When he was sitting off the court, he lost confidence in defending Chris Paul. He couldn't catch up with this guy with Tony Parker's speed. His own speed was slower than Parker, so how could he be able to defend himself?

Facing Yudic, who was not very confident, a trace of contempt flashed in Chris Paul's eyes and suddenly accelerated toward the baseline. Yudic just chased him, and he turned back and passed the ball to Kirksneider. He also knew that the focus of this game was his own match with Stephen, but the two had no match, so he could only pass the ball to his teammates and let his teammates compete with the opponent. As for Yudic in front of him, an unknown person, he did not have any sense of accomplishment to bully him.

Kirksneid is an outside player with outstanding physical fitness. He was once a pride in NCAA and had a dream of being extremely glorious superstar. However, after being selected by the Jazz in the 16th pick in the first round, he spent a well-behaved rookie season with the Jazz. He averaged 13 minutes of playing time and was able to average five points per game, and was then sent to the Hornets. Such an experience hit him a big blow.

No matter what the draft pick is, once you arrive at the team, the head coach immediately recognizes talents, then turns the tide, saves the team from the fire, then gets a maximum salary contract, gains countless endorsements, and becomes an All-Star. This is a dream that every player has had before entering the league, but reality is often not so beautiful.

Snyder has a strong enough body to fight against most outside players in the league, and at the same time he is very active in defense. If he focuses on developing in the direction of defense, he is likely to become a physically enhanced version of Bruce Bowen. However, in the Hornets, he does not have such a corner positioning, but treats Snyder as a tough player. Although his playing time is a little more than on the Jazz and his scoring has also increased a little, it is not suitable for Snyder's development, and Snyder also plays very awkwardly.

Although it was very threatening to break through with his explosive body, his poor shooting feel offset his advantage in breakthroughs, not to mention that he had no advantage when he met Stephen. He changed his steps several times, used all his strength, and did not squeeze out Stephen's defense. Snyder had to give the ball to Chris Paul again.

The meaning is nothing more than that. You can't play here. You can think of other ways. Although Chris Paul passed the ball, he kept paying attention to this side while running. Seeing that even Snyder's body was not Stephen's opponent, he had a very intuitive understanding of Stephen's power. You must know that Snyder is not inferior to those inside players on the team.

Chris Paul did not attack himself, but transferred the ball to Rasubatler on the side. Rasubatler did not disappoint Paul's pass, and hit a hand, adding an assist to Paul. After returning, after Ginobili's transit, the ball came to Stephen, the first offensive point of the Spurs' substitute lineup.

Stephen held the ball in one hand, tentatively entered the ball, and felt Snyder's strength in defense. Yes, Stephen quickly retracted his steps. It seemed that he could not find a strong breakthrough and was preparing to take other offensive methods. However, at this time, Stephen broke through and advanced again. Taking advantage of Snyder's old power regaining and the new power had not yet emerged, he forced Snyder away and rushed to the top of the free throw line and jumped into the ball.

It was the Hornets' turn to attack, and the ball came to Snyder's hand again. Stephen deliberately let it go. Snyder was indeed trapped and immediately jumped to shoot. However, as soon as the ball was separated, it was covered by Stephen's palm. Then Stephen caught up with the ball like a wind and electric, running towards his own court. At this time, a figure suddenly passed by and chased towards Stephen.

Chris Paul's speed was indeed very fast, especially when Stephen was still controlling the ball, and just ran into the three-point line, Chris Paul chased after him. As he had seen Stephen jumping and dunking further from the free throw line, he reached out and caught Stephen's arm without waiting for Stephen to jump.

Stephen was already ready to take another step and jump. After being pulled by Chris Paul, it was naturally impossible to jump, but he couldn't stop his steps and dragged Chris Paul down, then dragged him to the basket.

There was no way. Chris Paul knew that Stephen was very powerful, so he pulled Stephen tightly and stretched his arm into Stephen's arm. Once he was entangled, he could not let go. When Chris Paul got up from the ground, he suddenly felt that his arms were like someone else's, without any sense at all.

Seeing that the boss suffered a loss, the Hornets teams surrounded him, especially Snyder, who was just gayed to the front. However, everyone knows that it is a bit unworthy to find a technical foul because of this. The free throw for technical foul was taken by himself, so most of them were just acting and there was no substantial action.

He was naturally fearless in the face of the siege of Stephen. He had a clear conscience. It was Chris Paul who committed a foul on himself, not a foul on him. At the same time, the players from the Spurs also came to cheer for Stephen. The referee also ran over quickly, gave Snyder a warning and calmed the dispute on the field.

Although Chris Paul started fouling before Stephen's attack, there were no defensive players in front of Stephen at this time. As long as you foul, you will interrupt the attack, so Stephen still needs to do two free throws. However, it is still worth it for Chris Paul. There is still the problem of whether to make a free throw. Moreover, if Stephen dunks one, it will also be a blow to morale.

He made a profit. Stephen only scored one of the two free throws, and the second one was scored. He directly gave the ball to the Hornets, and the Hornets served the ball. Chris Paul continued to organize the attack. Chris Paul dribbled the ball quickly and passed the half. Seeing that the Spurs' defense line seemed to have not been fully established, he immediately accelerated and rushed to the basket without hesitation.

Nestrovic's retreat speed has been slower since he was criticized by **Vic. This guy seems to be a little bit out of the way, but he is not very obvious. **Vic did not completely throw him into the cold palace, but he is no longer optimistic about him. If it is possible next season, he will find another substitute center.

Chris Paul took advantage of the fact that Nestrovic had just run into the basket and had not yet fallen, and blocked the road that Robert Horry rushed over, and suddenly accelerated and got rid of Eudic's defense, which was like paper-like, and rushed to the basket. Nestrovic looked like he was covering him.

Chris Paul wanted to go further to the basket and make a layup, which would be safer. However, when he just rushed past Nestrovitch, a figure appeared in front of him. It was Stephen, a confidant. Chris Paul was not sure to make a layup under Stephen's defense. He could not say that he could use his dexterity to turn from a large angle and slipped through the baseline and then turned outside.

Stephen followed directly. Chris Paul faced Stephen's tough defense. He moved several times but couldn't find a chance to take action. He barely took action and was worried about being covered. After all, it was very dangerous to use his height to match Stephen's height and jump, and it was difficult to shoot.

Chris Paul passed the ball to Rasubatler outside. Rasubatler's small forward's figure was very advantageous against Ginobili, so he directly pushed Ginobili and reached the position in the three-second zone, but suddenly he was blocked by one person, and it was Stephen who rushed over from there again.

Rasu Butler knew Stephen's defense power and immediately passed the ball to Chris Paul who was in the open position. This was a good choice, but because his intention to pass the ball was too obvious, Stephen reached out to block it and touched the ball out of the baseline.

The ball rights are still from the Hornets. Aaron Williams of the Hornets serve on the sideline. Stephen stood in front of him and interfered with his serve. Although he had already served the ball very high, he still looked down on Stephen's bounce. The ball was interfered with by Stephen and touched the sideline again.

The Hornets served again, but only left them with four seconds of offensive time. With Chris Paul's hasty shot and missed the ball, Stephen jumped up and held it in his arms, and then followed Ginobili and Yudic to go down the third line. After passing the ball back and forth, Stephen successfully dunked it.

The Hornets' offense was stopped by Stephen again, and the rebound was taken by Stephen again. Stephen made a shot. In the next few rounds, Stephen's name kept appearing from the commentator's mouth. At the same time, Stephen's figure appeared on both ends of the offense and defense and in every corner of the court, turning into becoming the omnipresent Ghost Man. This is the new nickname that Elliot gave Stephen again.
