Under Stephen's defense, when he played more than half of the first quarter, Carmelo Anthony only scored one point, and it was obtained through free throws. Stephen and Iverson had already scored eleven and thirteen points respectively. Stephen missed twice, and once a foul on his back, but Iverson had only one miss.

During this half period, Stephen's restrictions seemed to be everywhere, and there was almost no chance for Carmelo Anthony to have a mobile phone. Before the first quarter was finished, Carmelo Anthony was already sweating profusely, and the beads of sweat kept dripping from his head, which was rarely seen in the past.

Confronting Stephen gave Carmelo Anthony a feeling that it was much more difficult to deal with than meeting LeBron and James. Among the players in the same position, the only one who made him so uncomfortable and unable to resist was Stephen.

It’s not that Stephen’s defensive ability is far better than LeBron James, but that in the general regular season, James will not defend him so hard. Don’t think that players will use all their strength as long as they go on the court. No one will be so stupid.

Anthony and James have never met in the playoffs, so naturally they didn't know that in the playoffs, the defensive intensity will be improved to this extent, but they are suppressed so much that they can't score at all. However, the opponent still competes with Iverson on the offensive end. Isn't this like a duel between two people, the opponent stretches out one hand to control himself, making him unable to move, and the other hand is still fighting with another person of the same level.

In comparison, doesn't it mean that they are not at the same level as them? Otherwise, how could they handle themselves so easily and compete with Iverson? This made Anthony extremely angry. Of course, this anger was not for Stephen, but for himself.

Why do people underestimate themselves? It’s not that they don’t have the ability to throw the ball in. Although most of the right to take action is concentrated in Iverson’s hands, the main reason is that the right to play the ball in his hands. He has not thrown the ball in. He takes care of his own face once or twice. If there are too many times, who dares to pass the ball to you? Isn’t that a waste?

The more he thought this way, the more Anthony could not calm down. He would have to do it when attacking, regardless of whether the opportunity was good or not. However, the more he did this, the more he could not complete his attack. He soon became exhausted and gasped. Still Iverson could not bear it anymore, so he pulled him aside and comforted him softly.

Stephen was naturally a little tired. He was like fighting with two people at the same time, but his physical fitness has always been good. In normal games, he doesn't need to give his all, so he is still very physically strong, at least from the outside, he is not tired at all.

With the gentle running, he calmed down his breathing. Anyway, Carmelo Anthony was several steps away from him. It was said that this was a good opportunity to attack, but because Stephen had made too many moves ahead, he was embarrassed to ask Duncan for the ball, so he had to watch Duncan miss the shot under the defense of Nene and Camby, and the rebound had not been grabbed yet.

Now the Nuggets are leading the Spurs by two points. The Spurs failed to score and the rebound was also obtained by Nene. This is a good opportunity for the Nuggets to widen the score. Nene quickly threw the ball towards Iverson. Iverson also has a nickname called "Son of the Wind", which specifically describes his speed, which just uses his strengths to make a fast break.

However, as soon as Iverson received the ball, there was a player from the Spurs, Fengchi Electric, who followed like a player. Many people thought it would be Tony Parker who followed the ball first. After all, he was also good at speed, but it was Stephen.

After all, Stephen's speed was a little worse than Iverson. When Iverso was about to run to the basket, Stephen was still behind him, almost two steps away from him. He saw Stephen suddenly jumping on the floor with his feet and jumping into the air. Stephen did not jump too high, but tried his best to fly forward.

Iverson's layup was very fast, and it seemed as if he had not slowed down. In fact, he paused for a moment, but this delay was enough for Stephen to catch up. As soon as Iverson's ball was shot, he heard the wind behind him. Iverson knew that someone was jumping in the air to cover his shot, but he had lost his ability to react and his body had begun to fall, so he had to raise his head and watch.

Iverson's layup was very accurate. The ball was only a little over the basket, and then it would naturally fall into the basket. However, at this time, a big hand reached out from behind and slapped the ball hard. The ball suddenly changed direction, and then hit the rebound violently, then bounced back.

Iverson couldn't see the scene in the following scene. After all, he didn't have eyes on the back of his head, and it was impossible for him to force his head to see this. The impact of the rapid running was still driving his body, so he couldn't help but rush towards him.

After Stephen hit the slap, the ball flew directly behind him, and his body had begun to fall. It was impossible to hold the ball in his hand anymore, so he had to quickly fall behind, then quickly turned around and looked behind him. Who knew that when he looked, he found that the person behind him was not his imagined teammate Tony Parker, but the opponent's point guard Steve Blake.

The ball that rebounded just fell in front of Blake. After Blake got the ball, he ran in a small step, so he easily stopped his body, then jumped gently and threw the ball towards the basket.

The distance between his position and the basket frame is very short, and it can be said that one percent of his attack can enter, but he forgot that there was still a Stephen standing under the basket. After Stephen saw him taking action, he didn't care that his legs were twisting like a twist, and he hurriedly kicked and jumped up again.

Although he was not too high, his height and arms were barely enough to reach Blake's shot. With the power of three fingers, Stephen half-punched the ball and changed the direction of the ball's flight, and flew to the left of the basket.

At this time, Tony Parker was the one who ran to the left. When he saw the ball flying over, he hurriedly took the ball in his hand, and then turned around and was about to leave. Carmelo Anthony happened to come to him. Seeing this, he reached out and pressed the ball down and then lifted it up, and immediately grabbed the ball from Tony Parker's hand.

Tony Parker had never expected Carmelo Anthony to appear in front of him, or he expected it, but he did not expect Carmelo Anthony to snatch the ball from his hand in such a rough way. When he lost the ball in his hand and hurriedly wanted to counter-snatch again, Carmelo Anthony had already run aside.

When Stephen saw Tony Parker receive the ball, he took a step and prepared to get off the ball quickly. However, just after running out of the three-second zone, he saw that the ball reached Anthony's hand again. He hurriedly stopped and moved towards Anthony's position.

Anthony avoided Tony Parker's counterattack and raised his hand to shoot. He was too eager to score. He didn't notice that Stephen next to him had approached him. Even Iverson's reminder on the side was not paying attention to it, and he was going to take action directly.

Before the ball flew out of his palm, Stephen's hand had already blocked the ball in front of the ball. Stephen grabbed the ball directly this time, but after Anthony saw Stephen Gai's own move, he also tried hard from the other side. As a result, neither of them grabbed the ball tightly, and the ball rolled down from one side.

The two of them hurriedly chased the ball, and the two fell to the ground after they got entangled. Stephen just grabbed the ball in his hand, but Anthony picked it away. The ball suddenly flew into the air, and then a tall figure jumped up and grabbed the ball. Duncan was just one step behind.

After Nene got the ball, he drove it up and looked up at his teammates' standing. At this time, Anthony and Stephen had already stood up from the ground. Although Anthony leaned against Stephen and was preparing to catch the ball, Nene still trusted Iverson's ability more and passed the ball to Iverson who was one step inside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

After Iverson received the ball, before he could start, Tony Parker immediately stood in front of him and blocked his path to the basket. Iverson immediately circled around Tok Parker without hesitation, but Tony Parker was not weaker than him, and he kept squeezing tightly that prevented him from entering the basket.

Seeing Stephen entangled with Anthony, Iverson immediately rushed towards them, trying to use the two of them to block Tony Parker, but Stephen immediately let go of Anthony and turned to block the road ahead of him.

After trying twice, I found that it was not that easy to shoot under Stephen's defense. Iverson suddenly jumped and made a fake shooting move. After Stephen jumped up, he turned the shot into a pass and passed the ball to Anthony on the other side.

After Anthony received the ball, he was ready to shoot, but it was still too late. Stephen turned around again and came to his side, blocked the ball from his hand again. Iverson hurriedly flew over and grabbed the ball in his hand, twisted and jumped up to shoot.

Stephen is still two steps away from him, and Tony Parker was blocked by Anthony's huge body. Stephen squatted down, shouted loudly, and with force on his legs, his body immediately soared into the sky, jumped high in the air, waved his arms and stretched out his hand and covered the ball out of the sideline.

From the beginning to the present, neither the audience nor the commentator in the media table made any noise. They were all watching nervously, watching the ball transfer back and forth, watching Stephen send out his big hats one by one, and watching the Nuggets' offenses being frustrated again and again. It was not until now that they all shouted in surprise, "Ah..."
