At the beginning of the game, Watson was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Kirk Hinrich. As he was transported, Shinrich was forced to the sideline by Shinrich. Shinrich suffered physical losses in confrontation with powerful point guards such as Byron Davis and Deron Williams, but he had an absolute physical advantage against point guards of Watson's level.

He used his physical advantage to constantly pressuring Watson. Watt had to move forward and move to the side, slowly approaching the sideline. Stephen had to run over to pick him up. Compared to the two of them, Stephen had a height advantage against Ben Gordon.

Although Ben Gordon was not tall enough, he did not seem to suffer too much in terms of strength against most opponents in the shooting guard, but he was a little lacking in the face of Stephen. So after feeling that his body was not Stephen's opponent, Ben Gordon immediately gave up fighting Stephen on his body.

Stephen got the ball from Watson, but before Stephen turned around and moved forward, Hinrich suddenly turned around and came to him, blocking his way forward with Ben Gordon, one left and one right. Stephen passed the ball to Watson again, but Hinrich immediately chased Watson again.

Watson passed the ball to Stephen again. At this time, he came over to double-team Stephen and became Rollden again. Stephen wanted to pass the ball to Durant again, but saw Joe Smith standing next to Durant. He saw that there were no defensive players around Wilcox and Cooperd, but Ben Wallace was guarding under the basket.

Wilcox still has a certain ability to shoot mid-range, so Ben Wallace's attention is mostly focused on Wilcox. Coupard has not shown his ability in this regard, so he has become the target of being emptied.

Stephen passed the ball to Coupard. Seeing the ball reaching Coupard's hand, Ben Wallace immediately turned around and blocked Coupard's front. Coupard's always proud ability to fight was a big loss when he arrived at Ben Wallace.

Not only did he not hit him, but he was almost lost by the collision. Coupard wanted to pass the ball to Wilcox, but because Ben Wallace was between them, Coupard did not have much confidence in his passing skills, so he had to pass the ball to the outside.

Stephen waved his hand and took the ball in his hand and took a step forward. Ben Gordon quickly retreated, and at the same time he swung his legs and prepared to move left and right. However, Stephen pulled his legs back and leaned back, making the move to shoot.

However, Roll Deng came over at a very fast speed. The division of labor between the two was good. Ben Gordon was responsible for defending Stephen's breakthrough, and Roll Deng was responsible for defending Stephen's move closely. But who knew that Stephen's body suddenly moved forward and turned sideways at the same time, drilling through the middle of Roll Deng and Ben Gordon.

Then Stephen retreated back and happened to block Ben Gordon by Rollden. Rollden didn't know that Stephen was behind his left side and was turning to the right to chase Stephen. Stephen had done all his moves, and the ball ran away, crossed the sky and flew into the round basket.

When it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Kirksinridge didn't look at Watson in front of him. He got a cross-step dribble and got Watson out of his back. His speed was not very fast, but it was no worse than Watson. Once he was squeezed behind him, he would never be able to surpass him again.

Wilcox hurriedly made up, but Hinrich changed direction and flew past Joe Smith. Joe Smith turned around and blocked Watson. Hinrich changed direction again and killed the basket, and it seemed like a smooth road in front of him.

Stephen hurriedly gave up his defense against Ben Gordon and turned back to run to the basket. Although he expected that even if he ran to the basket, he might not be able to block Hinrich's attack on the basket, Hinrich obviously had no such plan. After seeing that Stephen and Ben Gordon were far enough, he pushed the ball to Ben Gordon with a push.

Stephen saw the ball flying from the left in front of his eyes, and had no time to turn his head to the back. He saw Ben Gordon had taken action. When Stephen turned his head again, he happened to see the ball falling from the basket. At this time, Stephen had to rub his neck.

Although the Bulls have been using two players to double-team Stephen, they still cannot stop Stephen's scoring, but also, due to the loophole of Watson, the Supersonics cannot stop Hinrich's breakthrough. Unlike ordinary players' breakthroughs, after Hinrich broke through, he can not only attack by himself, but also pass the ball to assist his teammates.

But on the Bulls, except for the Big Ben, Ben Wallace, the others are all good at offense, and even Joe Smith is no exception. If he had no ability, the Minnesota Timberwolves would not have signed a secret contract with him at the beginning, but were eventually discovered by the league, resulting in both losses.

Since Rollden doubled Stephen more, Joe Smith stood in front of Durant more. Under his defensive pressure, Durant did not make three shots. This is the main reason why the Supersonics fell behind when the two teams reached halfway through the first quarter.

Watson only hit once in three attempts, but Coupard did not take advantage of Ben Wallace. After two consecutive failures, Coupard lost confidence in taking action, only Wilcox hit once in two attempts. In addition, all the SuperSonics scored were obtained by Stephen.

However, the double-teaming of the two still caused some trouble for Stephen, and Stephen's shooting percentage also dropped a little. By the half quarter, Calesimo replaced Deronti West, and the situation was better, but it was still not enough to reverse the situation of the game.

The Bulls have never relaxed their defense against Stephen. Of course, with the lessons learned by the Milwaukee Bucks, no one dares to take Stephen lightly. Now, in the league's average score rankings, Stephen is above 41.3 alone, the second place is Kobe Bryant, who is 29.7 per game, and the third place is Allen Iverson, who is 27.4 per game.

The gap of nearly 12 points is that although he has only scored one-quarter this season, many people have already said with certainty that the championship of the scoring champion this season is already Stephen's. Unless he has a sharp drop in the score, it is basically impossible to catch up with him.

After Deronti West came up, the defense improvement of the Supersonics was very effective, but it did not help the offense, and he had no touch. He was behind in two attempts and began to focus on defense.

In this way, Stephen's defensive pressure did not decrease at all, but there were signs of aggravation. Seeing this, Caresimo frowned. He has always trusted Durant more and tried to let Durant play more. At the same time, this is what the management meant. Unexpectedly, in this game, Joe Smith, limited Durant.

Kalesimo's eyes swept across the faces of Szebiak and Wilkins respectively. Both saw the head coach looking at him, but Szebiak seemed to have no reaction, and sat there looking at the stadium with a distant expression. Wilkins was eager to try and seemed to want to play on the court, so Kalesimo called him in front of him.

"After playing, try to rush to the basket, disrupt the opponent's defense, cooperate with Stephen more, and take action firmly if you have the opportunity to take action, don't be afraid." After Caresimo gave the opportunity in person, Stephen's breakthrough happened to cause Rollden's foul. Taking advantage of the free throw, Caresimo replaced Durant with Wilkins.

Durant looked very bad when he left the court. This was the first time since he joined the team, he had been replaced in advance. He started from the first professional game, which invisibly gave him an impression that the team relied on him very much and attached to him. This situation suddenly happened, and he felt very uncomfortable.

At the same time, no one in the team stood up to comfort him. As the head coach was approaching the head coach, there were already people sitting there. He could only sit far away and feel sulky with himself. Today's experience made him realize that the game was not that simple. Joe Smith restricted himself, who was more powerful than Joe Smith.

Indeed, if Stephen hadn't attracted firepower in front, Durant would have encountered several times more defensive pressure in each game than he is now, and his scoring would have been as easy as it is now, although in that case, Durant might have accelerated his maturity.

When Wilkins came on the court, it was Stephen's second free throw. Stephen's free throw was rarely lost. When Wilcox found that there were not many opportunities to grab, he reached out and hit the ball outside, just in front of Wilkins.

Wilkins never expected that he had the chance to touch the ball just as soon as he came on the court. After getting the ball, he hesitated for a while, but the Bulls did not expect that, especially when he held the ball in his hand, it looked very like a pass, so Rollden's attention was still on Stephen.

Wilkins just couldn't believe that he could get the ball so quickly, and when he saw that the Bulls' defense seemed to be nowhere to exist, he immediately lowered his head, slapped the ball down, and accelerated his feet and rushed towards the basket as the coach told him.

Everyone in the Bulls were a little unprepared for his offense. Ben Wallace hesitated for a moment whether to let go of Coupard beside him. Joe Smith moved over very early, but Wilkins just accelerated and changed direction and flashed him behind him. In front of him, Wilkins just raised his hand and sent the ball into the basket.
