When the Supersonics chartered flight landed at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, it was besieged by many media reporters, which rarely happened in the past. After all, Stephen came with 74 points of honor, and many media chased him from Seattle to New Orleans.--./

"Scoring is not important, breaking the record is not important. What is important is that when we are 25 points behind, we finally won the victory after hard work. This victory is the most important thing." When facing reporters asking themselves overwhelmingly, breaking the league's personal score record in a single quarter and getting 74 points, Stephen said to them for a long time.

"The main reason why the team you are in is that you scored 34 points in that quarter, right?" A female voice asked in the crowd. Stephen didn't see who it was, but it didn't prevent him from guessing the other party's vicious intentions. This must have been sowed by sow discord.

"The reason why we were able to reverse such a large score in the third quarter was that it was inseparable from the command of head coach Mr. Carlesimo. It was because he further liberated my offense through tactical changes; the second was that it had a lot to do with Robert Horry's cooperation. As we all know, we have been playing together for two seasons. Compared with new teammates, he knows me better and can make more effective and targeted cooperation; the third was that he performed very well with other teammates on the court. Although some of them did not score high, it was because they helped me absorb the opponent's defense that I could score more easily."

When they met a player who spoke like this, the media had no good idea. Seeing that there was nothing to gain today, everyone packed up their things and was about to leave. Who knew that a reporter from the local media in New Orleans asked Stephen what his prospects for the next game were.

"Of course we come for victory. For every game, we all have the confidence to win. As for the result, it depends on God's will." It is a Western habit to hand over all the unknown to God. There is no problem with Stephen's words, but the reporter has already got the answer he wants and left with peace of mind.

In the evening, Stephen saw Chris Paul, who is already the star of the Hornets, responded to his words: "Victory is not composed of scores. Although I can't get more points, I can give two-digit assists while getting twenty points. I am a point guard. My responsibility is to make my teammates better, not to score alone."

Of course, this is not the case with Chris Paul's original words. The reporter asked him three questions in total. The first is how do you view the victory of the game; the second is if you are asked to choose, should you choose to score higher or give more assists; the third is how you can be considered great.

Chris Paul's answer is that the game is not only composed of points, but he personally prefers to give more assists while scoring. When evaluating how great it is, Chris Paul uses himself as a point guard as an example to illustrate how great it is. However, these were changed by this reporter and combined and published together.

When Stephen saw this report, he said nothing, but no one knew exactly what he thought. Apart from putting the reporter on the blacklist, Chris Paul didn't continue to say anything. The two spent the night quietly, but their teams and their fans became opposite.

One is the scoring faction. The other faction is naturally the assist faction. The fans of the two factions argued on the Internet. Stephen rarely went online, but saw that several websites he often visited were discussing this topic, and some of them had even developed to the level of combat.

Stephen smiled. Regardless of scoring or assisting, it was all for the victory of the game. He himself did not pay much attention to this, but his fans cared and insisted on winning or losing. Then he had to work hard to meet the hopes of the fans.

Under the leadership of Chris Paul, the Hornets' record has indeed improved greatly, which is also the main reason why Chris Paul is hailed as the best point guard among the new generation of players. Similar to the Supersonics, the Hornets have no famous players.

Except for one Stoyakovic, the Hornets have no other player who can make a move. The Supersonics, except for one Durant, are very expected, and others are basically the same in strength, not even a middle-class contract or above.

In the evening, the game officially began. The Hornets put up the lineup of center Tyson Chandler, power forward David West, small forward Julian Wright, shooting guard Rasul Butler, and point guard Chris Paul. The Supersonics were like they were in the game. Many people originally speculated that Robert Horry would enter the starting lineup, but it did not happen.

The game was as expected. Stephen scored and Chris Paul gave assists, but Stephen did not only focus on scoring alone, but occasionally he could also give extremely wonderful assists. Especially after he found that the team had an advantage in the inside, he immediately made more passes to the inside.

Cooperd also turned his passes into assists one by one. After seeing Stephen gets the results and honors, he counts the money and cramps. Cooperd has also invested a lot in training and games, instead of still requiring Stephen's forced as before.

Although his progress in recent times is not as obvious as Stephen, he is very solid. He performs better and better step by step, and gradually he has the momentum to enter a first-class center from the middle level. This makes the Clippers very regretful and also makes the two teams who have had the opportunity to get Coupard.

Facing Tyson Chandler, Cooperd played very well, especially after Stephen increased his pass, he was even more like a tiger. At the end of the first quarter, the Supersonics actually led the Hornets by 8 points 32 to 24. Stephen, with the support of Cooperd's powerful touch, actually gave five assists in a single quarter, while Chris Paul only had only four.

Could it be that the players who support themselves will lose to the opponent in assists? This made Chris Paul's fans unacceptable? But in the second quarter of the game, under the premise that Cott Thomas alone brought Stephen three assists, Stephen got eleven assists in the first half alone, and his personal score also reached twenty.

Chris Paul only scored 14 points and 7 assists, and the team was still behind the Supersonics by 13 points, which made the team's pre-match debate meaningless, that is, there was no victory in the data and the team was still behind the opponent. Could it be that the Hornets still hoped that the Hornets would make a big reversal in the third quarter?

In the second half, Stephen left the court for five minutes, while Chris Paul was still on the court. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chris Paul narrowed the gap to only seven points, and he also scored 20 points, but he still had only nine assists.

After Stephen came on the court, with Durant and Ridno's cooperation, Stephen quickly got three more assists, and at the same time widened the score gap to more than ten. Then he never gave the Hornets a chance and won the game smoothly.

In this game, Stephen scored only forty-two points, but sent seventeen assists. Chris Paul scored 29 points and twelve assists. Without Stephen's comparison, it would be an extremely dazzling data. However, with Stephen's jade in front, his data would be much more dull.

In the post-match interview, when a reporter asked Stephen how he viewed this issue, Stephen smiled and did not respond. With his data and performance in this game, he really didn't need to respond to anything. No matter how humble you said, it would be a show-off for others. It would be better not to say anything.
