Stephen looked at Sean Bathier lying on the ground and raised his hand helplessly. Stephen was not angry at this. Sean Bathier stood up just right, and he did not move his feet, and he looked straight at himself.

I adjusted my position, so Stephen didn't think he was too foul. However, Stephen still explained to the referee, and he didn't plan to crash into it, but the referee obviously ignored Stephen's explanation. Who said Stephen's power is famous in the entire league?[]

The Rockets' offense still started from Yao Ming's side. It was the right side just now, but this time it was changed to the right side. Yao Ming also chose the inside after the single behind, so that Duncan could make up for it. However, Yao Ming was mentally prepared. Seeing Duncan come over, he suddenly turned back. Oberto did not expect that in order to avoid defending for three seconds, he ran out of the three-second zone and was easily squeezed to the basket by Yao Ming. For Yao Ming's height, putting the ball into the basket is easier than drinking water.

"Sang Hi Dance..." A long cheer sounded from the Rockets' home court Toyota Center Arena. In the past two or three seasons, Yao Ming's footwork has been rare. When he first entered the league, he often used his flexible footsteps to shake his opponent into the basket and scored.

Turning back, the Spurs started attacking. Stephen did not participate at the beginning, but the Rockets' defense was very good. The Spurs played three tactics and did not find a chance. In the end, the ball came to Stephen's hands.

After Stephen got the ball, he saw the position at Sean Battier's feet and knew that he was ready to defend himself from his breakthrough. After Stephen slowly stepped forward two steps, he turned around and started to play Sean Battier with his back. Stephen didn't believe it anymore. He could be cheated of another foul.

Sean Battier had not much power in the back. Stephen easily retreated to the position where he could take action, but just as he turned around and was about to take action, Sean Battier reached out and shook it in front of Stephen's eyes twice. Stephen had not seen the basket clearly, and his hand had already completed the shooting action.

Since the eyes did not determine the position of the basket, the hands naturally could not make coordination adjustments, so Stephen's shooting was outrageously off the basket. Fortunately, Stephen took the blame again and snatched the rebound. Although the shot was offensive, the ball still hit the basket, so the offensive time could be started again.

But this time Stephen didn't want to attack rashly anymore. Sean Bathier was not so good in the past. Why didn't he see him suddenly increase his level in a season? Before he could tell that he was given guidance from some experts in summer, why was it completely different from before?

After two more rounds, Stephen found that Sean Bathier's prediction ability has improved greatly compared to before. It seems that the opponent has studied his offensive habits a lot, so he is often controlled by others. If you want to break through, he will fall to the ground. If you shoot, he will interfere with your sight.

It’s not that this kind of defense can limit Stephen. The key is that Stephen has never encountered this kind of defense, and suddenly he is a little uncomfortable. On the Rockets, after the start of the game, the ball rights came to McGrady's hands, and Stephen's mission came.

The Rockets' first few rounds must start with Yao Ming's side. This is Van Gundy's iron rule, and no one dares to disobey it. First, at the beginning, Yao Ming's physical strength was just right, so he asked him to fight hard, which was basically successful. All the first three shots just now were an example.

At the same time, after Yao Ming opened, the opponent's players must strengthen their defense against the inside, which relieves the pressure on the outside offense. Of course, if a team dares not adjust, then Yao Ming can keep playing, and there are not many people who can stop Yao Ming.

Even if the Spurs have Duncan's best power forward in the century, Duncan is one of the strong inside players, but he can't do anything to face an inside monster like Yao Ming, just like he could not limit O'Neal at his peak, and now he can't limit Yao Ming.

Yao Ming, who weighs 310 pounds, is actually no different from O'Neal at the time. Perhaps he is not as flexible as O'Neal, but his offensive methods are more abundant than O'Neal. Now this period is Yao Ming's golden age.

After the ball came more to McGrady's hands, Stephen's pressure on the defensive end increased. After he really met McGrady, Stephen felt that he was a little despised. Not to mention anything else, he shot three times in front of Stephen's eyes, and Stephen had no choice but to do anything at all.

The first time McGrady made a fake move. Stephen studied his offensive video and knew that this kind of heavy shoulder movement was a precursor to the pull-up jump shot, but his fake move was too realistic. You obviously saw that his whole body was leaning forward and breaking through. If you don't stop him from passing you as soon as you accelerate, you will naturally stop him. At this time, you will be trapped and can only watch him quickly withdraw the movement, then jump straight into the air, and throw the ball towards the basket.

This is talent, Stephen looked at it enviously. Such excellent physical coordination is almost unique among the players Stephen met. Sure enough, McGrady was able to achieve such an achievement, and his body was indeed extraordinary.

If others do this, they will not be able to adjust the same fake moves, but for him, it is as normal as breathing. When he faces Stephen the second time, McGrady simply is lazy even doing fake moves, and he just pulls it up, but his body leans back a little. It seems that he is still a little afraid of Stephen's bounce, but Stephen still does not affect McGrady's shot, although he does not make this shot.

On the third time, McGrady shook his shoulders, and Stephen once again thought he was going to make a jump shot with a fake move, so he prepared to block the jump shot. Who knew that McGrady suddenly took a big step forward and really broke through.

Stephen hurriedly adjusted his muscles, then moved to the left, trying to block McGrady's breakthrough, but his movements had reached the extreme, but McGrady could still continue to do the movements. When he took off, he turned sideways in the back of the right direction, avoided Stephen's block, and threw the ball into the basket.

It seems that you must focus on this guy's defense and focus on defending with all your attention. Generally, Stephen will only do this when he meets players like James and Kobe Bryant, because if you put too much energy into the defensive end, it will inevitably affect your performance on the offensive end.

Unexpectedly, this guy who looked so sleepy and pineapple was so powerful. Stephen thought that he had been tortured as an injury and was only fame. He didn't expect that he was still so powerful. If it were intact, Stephen couldn't believe what would be like. Kobe might not be as physically as him.

After improving his attention, Stephen's defense has gained more positions, but inevitably, his offense has insufficient investment. The Rockets, thanks to the performance of Yao Ming and McGrady, led the Spurs by three points at the end of the first quarter, which is very difficult for the Spurs to see.

In the second quarter, the Spurs replaced Elson, Robert Horry, Yudic and Ginobili, and the starting lineup was only Stephen, while the Rockets also replaced Mutombo, Juwan Howard, the two old combination, McGrady continued to stay on the court, and then Bonchi Wells and Lutherhead, both of them were Stephen's old acquaintances.

Especially Bonchi Wells, if he hadn't been greedy and misjudged the situation, even if he didn't stay with the Kings, he would have won a contract of 5 million from other teams. However, his requirements far exceeded others' estimates for him, so he had to come to the Rockets.

Such a lineup has a bit of a decline in defense, but its offensive firepower is no less than the main lineup. The Spurs also made such adjustments, and then both sides' scores began to increase, but that's it. The Spurs are still lagging behind the Rockets.

In the third quarter, the Rockets sent the main force again. Then Stephen was on the court and bullied his teammates like cutting melons and vegetables. However, the Rockets' good days ended here. After McGrady left the court to rest, the Rockets' outside lacked the corresponding offensive ability, so even if Yao Ming played very well, he could not help the outside attack.

Instead, the Spurs followed the score one step further with the performance of Ginobili and Brent Barry. In the fourth quarter, the Spurs went all out. The Rockets finally couldn't stand it. In the fourth quarter, Stephen still scored only six points, but he made only one of McGrady's four-pointer, only three-pointer. The Spurs finally won the game 92-88. Stephen only scored 21 points, but his defense against McGrady was successful, although McGrady scored 24 points.

Although he defeated the Rockets, the Spurs made all their efforts. The exhausted Spurs rushed back to San Antonio overnight and faced the challenge of the Charlotte Bobcats here the next day. The Bobcats are called "giant killers" and are particularly upset about these strong teams. This time, they are no exception. They are upset about the Spurs again.

The Spurs' performance was very average. Even if Stephen had no physical impact, the weakness of the whole team also affected his performance. He and Duncan only faced the Bobcats, who had tried their best to fight the three armies, and finally persisted until the end but failed to win the game. He lost the game for the second time this season, and the Bobcats left San Antonio with joy.

I asked for red tickets and collect them. I took my daughter to swim at noon today, but the skin on my back was sunburned. It was so uncomfortable and I was in pain. I asked for comfort.
