Chapter 314 I have nothing to do with me
Gerald Wallace's conspiracy was shattered before it could be performed. After dinner, Stephen expressed his cold expression that he wanted to go around himself and go back to rest early. Seeing that Gerald Wallace could not keep him, he had to let Stephen go. Then, seeing Liv who was dissatisfied with desire, he couldn't help but feel headache. There was still a game tomorrow, and tonight was not a mess.
So he discussed with Liv in advance: "Let's agree in advance, at most three times tonight, and I'll leave after three times." After Gerald Wallace finished speaking, he looked at Liv beggingly, hoping that Liv would agree. With the second boss Jordan taking over this season, Gerald Wallace's expectations for the team have also increased a lot. Everyone knows that Jordan must not allow failure and will definitely increase the team's strength. Whether his performance can impress him depends on his recent performance.
I don't know how many times the two of them did it. Anyway, after the game started the next day, Stephen found that Gerald Wallace was a little unstable in the lower plate, and the strength to defend was also a bit insufficient. Stephen instantly thought of what the two of them must have been doing last night. Thinking about Liv, who was dancing vigorously on the court just now, couldn't help but sigh.
The Spurs were a little dull in the first quarter, and they could not see the momentum of massacre against the Golden State Warriors on the court, which made many people feel relieved. It seems that the Spurs are not as powerful as they imagined, and a small bobcat can compete with them.
The two teams basically tied the game in the first quarter, and the Spurs were still one point behind the Bobcats. However, in the second quarter, Stephen and Ginobili joined forces and immediately changed the situation. Stephen first assisted Ginobili to score twice in a row, and then launched a small offensive of eight points. Gerald Wallace happened to get off the court at this time, and Adam Morrison, who played for him, was simply vulnerable in front of Stephen.
Stephen's continuous score also led to the performance of his teammates, but the Bobcats never gave up their defense, so the Spurs' scoring is not as easy as the Warriors, but the Spurs always have the initiative on the field and have maintained the lead since they surpassed the score with the first ball.
By the end of the first half, the Spurs led the Bobcats by eight points. In the first half, after Stephen was out of the field, the Spurs' offensive declined, but Bruce Bowen's appearance enhanced the Spurs' defensive ability. Although the Spurs' single-quarter scores decreased, the Bobcats scored less with defense.
In the end, the Spurs won the away game with a score of 96 to 76 and 20 points. Stephen only scored 27 points in this game, which was the reduction in the scores of the whole game. The Spurs still defeated their opponents with a big victory, and they also defeated their opponents last month.
On the night of winning the game, the Spurs left Charlotte. Stephen boredly opened a local newspaper on the plane. Next to the Bobcats' defeat, there was also a news that Daquepiro, who had served the citizens of the city for many years, was ruthlessly killed in a police car. Based on the methods of committing the crime on the spot and the victim was killed without resistance, the murderer was likely to have been professionally trained or had excellent physical fitness.
Stephen looked at it, threw the newspaper aside, then put down his eye mask and rested. As soon as he got off the plane, he received a call from Gerald Wallace. Gerald Wallace asked him strangely, have you read the newspaper?
"Of course I saw it, what's wrong?" Stephen also asked him in a strange tone.
"Then... does that matter have nothing to do with you?" Gerald Wallace asked hesitantly. He was shocked when he saw this news. In his opinion, Stephen did it. The conflict between the two was very obvious. Through the analysis of the case in the newspaper, his guess was even more confirmed. The policeman he had just met died like this, which made Gerald Wallace a little scared of Stephen. He originally didn't want to make this call, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should remind him not to say so clearly, and others would not say that he had something to do with this matter.
"It doesn't matter, how is it possible? I'm a promising professional player, why do you have to take the risk of doing this kind of thing?" Stephen simply denied Gerald Wallace's guess. Gerald Wallace thought so, but if there was any conflict between the two, Stephen wouldn't kill him. After all, Stephen's future is bright, and tens of millions of dollars in the next year will not be a problem, so there is no need to do such things.
After hanging up the phone, Stephen smiled. Who would have thought that he would avenge Wick so easily? I hope nothing will happen. Stephen is not worried about himself. He has sufficient evidence to prove his innocence, but...
After returning to home, the Spurs faced the challenge of the Los Angeles Clippers. This season's performance has declined slightly compared to last season, but Coupard's playing time has increased. This time when he came to San Antonio, Coupard specially invited his teammates to dinner at the old store of Records of the Grand Historian. Most of his teammates attended, which was very considerate of Coupard's face.
There is also a copy of this industry by Kupad. When introducing it, Kupad naturally said it was his own industry. His teammates were very envious when they heard it. Perhaps many of them made more money than Kupad, but not too many of them had their own industry.
In order to cheer for my younger brother, Stephen also attended, and also brought Robert Horry and Brent Barry. It seemed that both sides were like a small meal. I wonder if it was due to the improvement of fame and strength. Stephen felt that even if he saw those players who had played for many years, he felt like he was looking down.
Moreover, when these people see themselves, they don’t know if it is psychologically because of it, and they also feel like looking up at themselves. Could it be that they are also successful people in their minds? Otherwise, why would they look at themselves like this? Stephen felt secretly happy.
The two sides were very happy to talk, but in the game, they no longer showed mercy. Stephen attacked from the beginning of the game and quickly defeated the Clippers' sense of resistance. Then the Spurs' offense seemed crazy, using the offense to suppress the Clippers' offense. The offense attacked wave after wave, and the suppressed Clippers could not breathe.
Stephen scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead 33 to 22 11 points to the second quarter. When the Spurs replaced the substitute, the Clippers also replaced the substitute. When Coupard stood on the court, he secretly made a face to Stephen and showed a look of seeking slight abuse.
In the second quarter, Stephen's scoring momentum weakened, but he began to assist Ginobili. This time, the Spurs' first scorer became Ginobili, who shot three-pointers from the outside and broke through to the inside to score. Although Mobley, nicknamed "Old Cat", was also very agile, he couldn't compete with Ginobili, the spirit snake.
The Clippers replaced Mobley and replaced Quinton Ross, but it was still useless. Although the defense was not good, the Clippers' offense in this quarter was still quite good. The Clippers' high point guard Livingston, who was selected by the No. 4 pick in 2004, passed the ball very well. He took advantage of Elson's weakness of strength, which was not as strong as Coupard, and kept hanging the ball to the inside.
For Cooper, if you ask him to play the slim and lively person, he might be a little short of it, but if he gets the ball and squeezes out the opponent's shot, it's still fine for him. He just leans on the ball and then flies into the basket with a small hook. Elson has no way to deal with him.
**Vic replaced Jack Butler, which is also useless. From this point of view, it can be seen that the departure of Nestrovic and Mohamed is a very big damage to the Spurs' inside line. When he was there, plus Duncan and Robert Horry, the Spurs could have the candidates to deal with when facing any inside team in the league, but now they can only struggle to maintain it.
"Now these days, why is it so difficult to find a big guy who can withstand it in the interior?" Although the team is leading, **Vic is still not very comfortable when he sees his team being bullied in the interior. I won't mention the "two towers" period formed by David Robinson and Duncan. In the first two or three seasons, except for meeting O'Neal and others, the Spurs have never suffered such a loss in the interior.
"This kid is pretty good. He is tall and powerful, and the price is not expensive. Although his skills are not very good, he has hooks on the offense and can withstand defense. In addition, he is familiar with Stephen, so you can consider getting him over." Carlesifie suggested from the side. Not to mention anything else, just this height, just this size, the salary is not high, and it is worth taking action.
"Let's make sure about Stephen first." Although **Vicci also thought it was good, the premise was to leave Stephen first, otherwise what would be the use of getting him over?
Cooper scored eight points alone in this quarter, but the Spurs still beat the Clippers 11 points in a single quarter. With the lead in the first quarter, the Spurs led the opponent by 22 points in just one first half. When they were out, Cooper also muttered to Stephen: "Boss, can't you be gentle? It's only 20 points, and you're still playing."
Stephen only scored seven points in this quarter, but the Spurs scored thirty-two points in this quarter. Ginobili alone scored fifteen points. In the second half, the Spurs continued to lead the Clippers in the score and did not give them a chance to catch up.
The third quarter has not been finished yet. The Spurs are already 30% ahead of the Clippers. Although the Clippers have not replaced the main player and replaced the substitute, looking at the main player's weak appearance on the court, you know that they no longer have any hope for this game.
In the fourth quarter, Stephen only scored six points on the court, and the Clippers replaced all the main players and announced their surrender. The Spurs were naturally not doing anything. Stephen had to end up with regret and dissatisfaction. Such an opponent was too frightening. You would die if you resisted. In the end, the Spurs won the game with a 29-point advantage.
