Chapter 399 Uninterrupted Score
Updated: 2012-09-15
However, Anthony's performance against the position was not bad, and his score was one more point than Stephen, but his rebounds, assists, blocks and other data were not as good as Stephen. Then the two of them fell silent together. Anthony seemed to have disappeared on the offensive end, but Stephen turned his attention to assisting his teammates. After all, after playing for so long, almost all the shots were completed by himself.
Watson steadily received Stephen's pass twice in a row, throwing the ball into the basket, one two-pointer and one three-pointer. Such a point guard is exactly what Stephen needs. He has a steady ball control, is not greedy for merit or make a breakthrough, and has no right to play, and is not dissatisfied with it. After taking the ball, he can run with peace of mind, and then after getting the ball, he can throw the ball into it.
Even if your independent offensive ability is poor, your passing skills and vision are very average, this is enough. Good players will not be so at ease as supporting roles. No matter how great the point guard is, they still need the ball rights in their hands. Without the ball rights, they cannot become a great point guard.
The Supersonics' current tactics are not the ball-controlling forward tactics. After Stephen got the ball, he only controlled the ball too much and directly launched an attack. Of course, this is the first game, and there is no clue yet, and the tactics have not yet been formed. However, from the past half quarter, it is somewhat similar to the Lakers in these two seasons.
During the defense against Anthony, Stephen took a fake move by the opponent, and was cheated by Anthony and successfully fouled. Anthony made both free throws. After returning, Stephen bullied Anthony one step back and made him take a step back jump shot.
Stephen's three-pointer feels not very good today, but the two-pointer is good. So far, he has only missed one shot, but Anthony has a good three-pointer feel. If this weren't the case, he wouldn't have beaten Stephen in scoring.
Stephen still feels that he is really incomparable to those guys with shooting talent. Like Anthony and Durant, they are of this type of player. They seem to have innate guidance nerves, and they are not as hard-working as Stephen's feel.
Iverson's performance today was not very good. He played the point guard position and seemed to have lost his attack. Most of the time, he mainly assisted Anthony, and occasionally shot, to attract defensive attention and better assist his teammates.
This is a qualified point guard, but if he kept playing like this, he would not have achieved such great success. Although he has the body of a point guard, Iverson is still a shooting guard in his bones, which cannot be changed at any time.
Iverson tried to make a move, but failed to hit, and the rebound was snatched by Marcus Camby, but when he passed the ball to Anthony, the ball was blocked by Stephen, and then Stephen quickly stepped down to launch a fast attack, but when he approached the basket, he suddenly passed Durant outside the three-point line.
Durant adjusted his shot position and threw the ball into the basket. After the game began, the Supersonics also overtook the score for the first time, and then maintained the lead until the end of the first quarter. The two sides played 33 to 31.
Stephen scored nineteen points in the first quarter, and Anthony still had one more point than him. The two talents got such a high score in the first quarter, which also surprised everyone who followed the game. Only Philipta in the media area was worried again.
It's almost twenty in one quarter, and there are three more quarters left. Even if it's a little less, sixty is not a problem. Feliotta regrets saying too little, but it's too late to say anything now. Although she really wants the Supersonics to win the game, she doesn't want Stephen to get too many points. This entangled thought exists in her heart all the time.
In the second quarter, the Supersonics replaced Cooper, Robert Swift, Durant, and Damien Wilkins. The others continued to stay on the court, while the Nuggets just replaced Iverson and Camby.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Stephen fired a shot from outside the three-point line, increasing his score to twenty-two points. Then Anthony also made a three-pointer and made a hit. The two of them seemed to be competing today, and Anthony was overwhelming Stephen no matter what, anyway.
Stephen passed the ball to Robert Swift, but under Nene Hilario's defense, Robert Swift did not find an opportunity to attack. After all, although his progress is great, he is still incomparable to Nene. As Yao Ming's rookie of the same year, although he is not as good as Yao Ming and Amarestoudemire, his ability to sign a contract of tens of millions also shows his ability.
He did not find a chance to take action, but when he was transferring the ball outward, Robert Swift's intention was too obvious, and was seen through by Kenyon Martin and seized the opportunity to break the ball from the middle. However, as soon as he turned around, he was counterattacked by Stephen.
After Stephen got the shot, he hurriedly took action. Because of the lack of attack time, he failed to hit the shot. However, Robert Swift made up for the result and grabbed the rebound. After passing it to Stephen, because he was surrounded by everyone, Stephen passed the ball to Wilkins outside, allowing Wilkins to take action.
Unfortunately, Wilkins, who had just started playing, had not found the shooting touch, and his shot also missed the basket. The rebound was grabbed by Anthony, who was extremely active in this game. However, after missing Iverson, the Nuggets' fast break lost the threat and eventually had to fall into the position to attack.
After entering the position to attack, the Nuggets would not get much advantage. Although Calesimo was an assistant coach for **Vic, he was once the head coach of the Supersonics before becoming an assistant coach, so he had another understanding of basketball. However, after being influenced by the Spurs, he also attached great importance to defense, so after re-electing the Supersonics, he redesigned the team's defense.
Relatively speaking, defense does not require high talent, but requires execution and willpower. The head coach needs to have great authority. The players are willing to defend, so the defense can naturally be improved. So in just a few days, the Supersonics' defense is much stronger than before, but the overall offense has not improved.
The Nuggets passed the ball several times, but they didn't find a suitable opportunity to make a phone call. In the end, he came to Anthony. After all, he was the most confident player in the offense. However, under Stephen's close defense, Anthony had no good methods, and was unable to play back one-on-one. He broke through Stephen and defended very well, so he could only shoot from the outside.
However, he did not make a shot this time. After all, no one could maintain that feeling. But after coming back, Stephen rushed all the way to the position of the horn, suddenly jumped, raised his hand and threw the ball into the basket, surpassing Anthony in scoring for the first time in this game.
Then Stephenfan became uncontrollable and threw the ball into the basket three times in a row at both sides of the free throw line, increasing his personal score to 31 points. However, Anthony immediately hit two three-pointers and also increased his score to 30 points.
Carlesimo looked at the time and replaced Stephen with Szebiac, and George Carl also replaced Anthony with Nahura. Many people could do it at halftime, but there were two 30 plus points in a game, and it was rare to see them in the form of an opponent.
After Stephen and Anthony left the court, both teams' offenses fell into an unfavorable situation, but the Supersonics had the advantage of leading the way. They still led the Nuggets by 57 to 55 by two points, and the game entered the halftime stage.
There were many comments on Anthony and Stephen's scores, but since the game was not broadcast live nationwide, it did not cause much sensation. In the second half, Stephen appeared on the court from the beginning.
Is he going to break his own scoring record? This is what many people think of. Feliotta's face turned very ugly. He had easily completed the task in the first half. Let's watch the second half. At this time, she had some idea of her mentality, but she still had no idea.
Anthony was still sitting off the court, his physical strength was not as strong as Stephen, but the Nuggets replaced Iverson, another leader in the team. Iverson didn't consider other people's feelings when leading the team alone, and just showed his ability.
Iverson scored continuously like he used to be. No matter who came to defend the SuperSonics, he would be the same. Reedno, Wilkins would not do it either. Even if Stephen came, it would not do it. His speed, flexibility and physical coordination ability have reached the peak of the human body. All he could limit was physical strength, feel and the erosion of time.
However, although Stephen could not defend, no one could defend Stephen's offense. Without Anthony, no matter whether the opponent was Nahura or Kreza, they were all players who were stronger than the defense. Although the score overtook the Nuggets, the Supersonics kept holding on to the score.
In half a quarter, Stephen scored six points, but Iverson scored eleven points. After Durant came on the court, he first received Stephen's assist and made a three-pointer, and then assisted Stephen with a three-pointer. After two consecutive three-pointers, the Supersonics overtook the score again.
The Nuggets replaced Anthony again, and Anthony made a three-pointer after coming up, but his feel was only there. In the later part of the third quarter, all four shots were lost. If Iverson had not taken over the offensive power again, the Nuggets would have been almost pulled apart by the Supersonics. Stephen's score reached 43 points, and his feel and uninterrupted scoring momentum throughout the game became the gathering point for everyone to discuss.
