By the beginning of the second half, the score difference between the Supersonics was already twenty-two points. Everyone, whether it was fans or players, placed their hopes of reversal on Stephen. After all, Stephen's scoring ability is recognized, and he had already directed such a scene many times when he was with the Spurs.

The Pacers' lineup is a typical lineup with weak inside attack and strong defense, strong outside attack and weak defense. Center Foster's defense is very good. Yao Ming, who used to defend, did not score a single point, but his offensive ability is basically zero. Don't expect him to send the ball into the basket. Jermaine O'Neal is a top-notch inside player in the offense and defense in the case of intact.

Such a lineup allows teams with an inside advantage to play, and both sides can only compete with their offensive ability from the outside. For teams that can compete with the Pacers in the outside lineup, only the Golden State Warriors can compete with them in the entire league, especially on their forward-back line, there are several very talented players.

The outside offense pays great attention to the feel. When there is no feel, you need to break through layups or dunks to score points, or force a foul. However, if the opponent's inside defense is better, the effect of this method is not so outstanding. The Pacers are such a team.

There was no problem with Stephen's score after he came on the court. The Pacers did not focus on defense, but the defense against other players of the Supersonics was very good. Stephen passed the ball to his teammates several times but did not collect points. Gradually, Stephen stopped passing the ball to them.

But Stephen's own feel was not very good, probably because of the influence of his teammates. Just now, after he threw away McDunleavy's defense, Granger quickly made it in front of Stephen. Stephen suddenly stopped and made a shooting move. Granger immediately jumped in the air. Who knew that Stephen had a fake move. After retracting his hand, Stephen held the ball and continued to move forward.

Although the Pacers did not take any special care of Stephen, Stephen has got rid of the defensive players, so those who should make up for defense naturally need to make up for defense. At the same time, because of Stephen's threat, the Pacers did not relax at all on his defense. Jermaine O'Neal immediately made up for it, and Foster was also moving in this direction, preparing to have a left and right attack.

Stephen suddenly dodged back, avoided the pinch, then jumped into the air, twisted the air in the air and shot directly opposite the basket, but he actually shot an air balloon, and shot to the other side of the basket, Jermaine O'Neal took the rebound, and then handed it to Jamaltingsley.

Stephen clapped his hands depressedly, and he should rush over to commit fouls. Even if he had to offend the risk of fouls, it was better than a ball that was not sure about being shot. This method of shooting required forcibly twisting his body, and it was not a scoring method that Stephen used to do it but was not proficient enough. This was also during the confrontation with Kobe. Stephen learned how to use his body to adjust more and get the opportunity to take action. Unfortunately, it was not so easy.

Although Szebiak's defense was very good, Granger still easily made a three-pointer. Not only did Stephen not close the score when he came on the court, but the opponent widened the gap to twenty-five points. Stephen became anxious.

Although Stephen immediately noticed this mental inappropriateness and tried to calm down and calm down his mind, once his emotions came up, it was not that easy. Although Stephen's offense was well completed, the final shot had problems again. The ball turned two rounds on the basket and it came out again.

"Don't be anxious, calm down. We still have a chance. There is still a long time to play, right?" Cott Thomas stood next to Stephen, patted Stephen's shoulder and said to Stephen.

"Well, let's work together." Stephen led the whole team to defend hard, and finally defended the opponent's attack. Then, after Stephen successfully broke through, he suddenly passed the ball to Watson on the outside. However, before Watson could react, Stephen slipped the bottom line from one side to the basket, and then Watling threw the ball towards the basket. After Stephen jumped and received the ball, he dunked the ball into the basket.

I don't believe you can stop entering. After dunking, the Supersonics' offensive goal seemed to be opened. Although Jermaine O'Neal took the ball and turned back and scored a low layup, Stephen immediately assisted Cott Thomas to hit a mid-range shot.

Jamal Tinsley missed the shot, and the rebound was protected by Robert Swift. After the ball was handed over to Stephen, Stephen quickly inserted into the opponent's basket. Under the attack of two defensive players of the opponent Tinsley and McDunleavy, Stephen changed hands and dunked in the air.

However, the Pacers who made the shots felt very terrible, especially all of them could score, which made people unable to focus on defense. After Tinsley dribbled into the frontcourt, he didn't even care about his missed shot in the last round, and continued to hold the ball and attacked easily. Watson's defense was easily blown up. Without waiting for Stephen to make up, he immediately made a one-handed shot.

His shooting was his biggest flaw, but once it was accurate, it was also very terrible. After Stephen scored again, Tinsley followed Stephen to score again. Stephen missed the shot, but he grabbed the frontcourt rebound. Unfortunately, his shot again was still fine.

The rebound fell into Foster's hands, but he was cut off by Stephen during the process of passing to Tinsley. Then Stephen then made a three-step layup. After the third quarter, Stephen scored twenty-two points alone, plus the score in the first half, which was exactly thirty.

However, the score gap between the team and the Pacers is still above fifteen points. It can be seen that Stephen has tried his best, but the opponent's offense is also quite good, so even if Stephen tried all his best, he still couldn't continue to narrow the score difference.

Sitting off the court, although Stephen was not tired and gasping, he still felt a little tired on his body. Sometimes his emotions could affect his body. The Gatorade handed over by the team staff, Stephen picked up a towel to cover it and drank it in a big gulp.

The fourth quarter began soon, and Stephen was the first to go on the court. After seeing him, Granger gave him a smile. Stephen was not in the mood to respond. When he came to the court, Stephen made a strong attack and caused McDunleavy to foul. After making both free throws, Stephen forced Tinsley to make a low-level mistake. After getting the ball, he assisted Durant and hit a three-pointer.

The gap came to ten, and the fourth quarter had just begun, but Granger hit the basket again with his shot. He felt very good today, with nine shots of fourteen shots, and McDunleavy shot once more than him, with a shooting percentage of as many as he did.

Stephen continued to play hard, causing McDunleavy to foul. He made two free throws again, and the ball came to the Pacers. Under Jamaltinsley's pressure, Watson's feet became messy and turned his ankle. He had to go off the court and rest and replaced him with Reedno.

After Ridno came up, the dribble had just passed the midfield line and was not left to Stephen to handle it. He suddenly inserted it downwards and turned around and jumped at the bottom line. Unfortunately, it was also lost. Stephen and Carlesimo frowned at the same time.

Personal heroism, and wanting to stand up alone to save the team is understandable but not forgiven. The coach has arranged it and all the balls must be passed through Stephen's hands. Not only does it violate this, but it doesn't even cooperate with its teammates, so it takes action alone.

But he can't be replaced because of this. When Stephen saw Ridno looking at him quietly with a hint of fear in his eyes, Stephen shook his head slightly and told him not to keep it in his heart. If the team loses, it is not his own responsibility. If he wins the ball, victory also belongs to college. Unless necessary, his teammates' actions are not too out of order, Stephen is unwilling to blame others.

Ridno's solo performance was only once. In the following time, he kept handing the ball to Stephen to handle it, but the trend of the game had already formed, and it was not so easy to reverse it. Even if Stephen could score, he could not defeat a team alone.

The Pacers played very well, with their offense blossoming in full swing, and they all played quite selflessly. The team's sharing was done very well. Stephen chose more effective scoring methods, but the opponent's score could not be stopped, and the score gap could not be narrowed.

When the game was only a little over four minutes, Stephen narrowed the gap to eleven points with a three-pointer, which was also his personal forty-fifth point. Then the Pacers Troy Murphy and McDunleavy each made a three-pointer.

The gap instantly reached seventeen points, and Stephen's mood suddenly became very depressed, but this mood further affected his condition. After two consecutive misses, Caresimo replaced him with most of the main players, announcing his concedes defeat in this game.

In the end, the Supersonics lost the game 95-104, and the Pacers scored fifteen points. Except for Stephen, no one on the Supersonics scored fifteen points. So although Stephen alone can match the opponent's three, there are more than three people who scored. At the same time, the Pacers' other players performed very well. The Supersonics can maintain normalcy, and only Kot Thomas, but Kot Thomas did not perform well.
