After defeating the Orlando Magic, the Supersonics took a day off and continued to prepare for the game against the Indiana Pacers at home. They finally won nine consecutive victories. Although the media's main target of touting Stephen, most of them would mention a few words later, believing that the team's nine consecutive victories were also contributed to it.

Among them, Durant, Cooperd, Watson and Robert Swift were also praised by the names, which made these young people feel proud. You should know that these are all national media and are not comparable to local media in Seattle.

Unconsciously, an atmosphere of underestimating the enemy began to breed in the Supersonics team. The Spurs, the champions of last season, could defeat them, and there was nothing that the team could not defeat. Although I vaguely felt that the spread of this atmosphere was a bit inappropriate, Stephen did not pay much attention, but instead felt that this was a confident expression.

Calesimo felt a little insensitized in this regard and did not feel anything unusual. The nine consecutive victories also made him feel a little light, especially the feeling after defeating the Spurs. He still savored it from time to time.

Although his age and qualifications are older than **Vic, **Vic is like a mountain in his mind. He never thought that leading such a supersonic team could defeat the Spurs. However, once this incident really happened, Kalesimo suddenly felt as sweet as a hungry bear eating honey.

This feeling is extremely clear even in a dream, and it is truer than any dream. It turns out that it can defeat **Vicci. Who else can be invincible? Although Caresimo knew that he had taken advantage of Stephen and was not as good as him, and he could not defeat the Spurs, but his tactics should have played a role.

The whole team had this mentality. In fact, even Stephen was a little confident, but he was unconscious. Instead, he felt that the whole team was only awake, and he thought that when he was taught, he would naturally wake up after he was taught a lesson. Then he would lead them to victory.

Under this idea of ​​underestimating the enemy of the whole team, the Supersonics ushered in the challenge of the Pacers. This season, Granger has basically officially taken over the Pacers. Although Jermaine O'Neal is still the boss of the team, he is already a yellow-style figure yesterday in the eyes of the management and coaching staff.

The Pacers didn't know that Stephen almost went to their team, and if he chose to trade at that time, Granger was likely to be one of the candidates for the trade. Facing the Supersonics, they put up a lineup like center Jeff Foster, power forward Jermaine O'Neal, small forward Granger, shooting guard McDunleavy, and point guard Jamal Tinsley.

This is also a very young lineup. The average age of the starting lineup is only two and a half years older than the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics are still center Cooper, power forward Wilcox, small forward Durant, shooting guard Stephen, and point guard Watson.

At the beginning of the game, the Supersonics launched a fierce attack on the Pacers as before. Although they were in a backward state at the beginning, the Pacers did not panic and lost their position. The offense was still in a strict and concise manner, and the quality of defense did not decline due to backwardness.

Therefore, although the Supersonics' offensive sounds have been rising and they have been in the leading position, the advantage of the leadership is not very big. They have been maintained between five points and ten points, and they have been caught up, and then they continue to lead and expand. In this cycle of reincarnation over and over again, the Supersonics' sharpness has been gradually worn out.

Stephen focused on the distribution of ball rights and creating opportunities for his teammates. He did not rush to score and did not notice any changes or progress in the game situation. The Supersonics coaching staff led by Calesimo also did not notice it. As for the fans, the team won nine consecutive victories and is still ahead now. Who would think about failure?

No one can be so wise, and experts can't, let alone ordinary fans. Fans are very excited to see it. No one expected that the team would complete the revival so quickly. More and more fans are turning their attention to Stephen wearing the "Ninety-Nine" jersey on the court. Every time Stephen touches the ball, he will cheer.

At the end of the first quarter, the SuperSonics still had a seven-point advantage, but at the beginning of the second quarter, Jamaltinsley made a shot outside the three-point line, bringing the score closer to only four points. Stephen did not allow the ball to stay in his own hands. After coming over, he saw Granger relax a little and passed the ball to Durant's hand.

Durant and Granger are both small forwards with height advantages. The difference is that Durant is taller and thinner. After receiving the ball, Durant made a fake move. After seeing that he did not deceive Granger, he took a step to the left, which seemed to be about to break through Granger's right. Granger hurriedly moved to the right, but Durant quickly retracted his foot and started moving to the right.

However, Granger's experience is a little richer than Durant. Although he moved to the right, he retained some of the recovery force. After seeing this, he quickly moved back. Although he did not completely block Durant, he forced Durant to stop.

His body could no longer be adjusted, but Durant still had enough energy. After seeing this, he immediately pulled back. Granger could not chase after him anymore. Durant jumped up and raised his hand and shot, but the ball slipped past and did not fall into the basket.

Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the rebound, avoided Wilcox's sneak attack, and gave the ball to Jamaltinsley. Jamaltinsley's street ball background determines that his ball control technology is better than many people. At the same time, he also has a great advantage in height and strength. Although Watson tried his best to interfere with him, he was like he was using forcelessness. Jamaltinsley didn't even slow down.

Watson turned to one side with his height and strength, and at the same time, he changed directions. At this time, Jamaltinsley suddenly accelerated to the side and briefly broke away from Watson's defense. Watson reacted very quickly and hurriedly turned around and approached again, but it was too late. Faced with the lost defense, Watson reached out and pulled Jamaltinsley's arm very concealedly.

However, Jamaltinsley's excellent ball sense and super judgment were discovered before Watson grabbed himself. Then he threw the basket with one hand and also leaned his body. Watson's small movement was clearly seen by the referee next to him.

Any way for attacking players with the ball to touch positions below the forearm will be called illegal defense. This is the development trend of the league's penalty in recent years. This is to make the game more beautiful. Watson is no exception. He was fouled by the referee and gave the opponent a free throw.

With 80% of Jamaltinsley's hit, it was very easy to make this free throw. After two plus one, the Supersonics' seven-point lead suddenly changed to only one point, and thirty-seven seconds had just passed in the second quarter. Although Stephen immediately broke through and scored two points to expand the score advantage again, Granger also made a mid-range shot.

After two or three rounds, Calesimo did not have a clear understanding of the current situation and still replaced Stephen as usual. Stephen felt that this was not the time to replace himself, but since the coach proposed a substitution, he couldn't insist on staying on the court. At the same time, he did not feel how serious the situation was, so he got off the court as he said.

As soon as Stephen got off the game, the Supersonics' offense began to stagnate. No one in the team could score. For more than three minutes, the Supersonics did not score a point, but the Pacers played very well, hitting a 16-0 small **, surpassing the score by fourteen points in one fell swoop.

Stephen immediately turned his attention to Calesimo. He could not let the score gap continue to expand like this. Seeing Stephen's gaze, Calesimo was a little moved, but after Durant made a three-pointer on the court, Damien Wilkins completed another steal from McDunleavy, scored two points in the fast break, and pulled the score within ten.

Calesimo rejected Stephen's request, thinking that the gap was a little bit. With Stephen's ability, he could turn it around when he was on the court, not to mention that there was a whole second half. Seeing that the coach rejected his request, Stephen could only sit off the court and watch the game with peace of mind.

The Pacers' offense is mainly based on the outside line. Their four outside line, three starters, including Sean Williams, who later played, have certain outside shooting ability. When all three of them shoot, it will make people unable to defend at all and can only attack against attack.

But the Supersonics' offense improved slightly just now, but disappeared without a trace like a flash in the pan. In one minute and forty-seven seconds, the Pacers scored eleven to zero, widening the gap in the score to more than 20.

Stephen stood up and came to Calesimo to ask for a fight again, but Calesimo had no time left to watch the game, so he refused Stephen's request and let him wait for the second half to appear. Stephen had no choice but to sit down.
