After the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court. At this critical moment, all the players' faces were a little more solemn and less relaxed. What rewards would be for the efforts and sweat of the most half of the game depend on these dozens of seconds, so even the players who like to show off their jokes the most became serious at this time.

The ball is on the Cavaliers' side, and the ball is directly handed to LeBron James. Although LeBron James has been criticized by countless experts for not daring to take action at critical moments, the Supersonics did not relax at all.

Of course, his passes are also very threatening, and he also has a tradition in this regard, so his defense against LeBron James is limited to Stephen alone, and the others correspond to their own defensive targets.

The Cavaliers' current lineup is Drew Guden, LeBron James, Pavlovic, Larry Hughes, and Gibson, while the Supersonics are Wilcox, Durant, Stephen, Wilkins, and Watson.

The ball was transported in LeBron James' hands, and it didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. Stephen did not dare to stare at him relaxedly, focusing on every move of LeBron James, and not even letting go of his eyes.

LeBron James felt Stephen's defensive pressure. Compared to last season or last season, Stephen's defense seemed less active this season, and it seemed to have deteriorated a little in oppressiveness. However, in fact, with Stephen's experience in game increases, the danger in defense also increases, but this danger becomes very hidden and most people can't feel it.

In the past, you could feel that Stephen was constantly defending against you, making you afraid to relax at all, but now it makes you feel that his defense is very relaxed. If you relax your guard a little, he may interrupt the ball from your hands or block your offensive route at any time.

This is also the reason why Stephen seems to have been divided by attack on the surface, but the data on steals and blocks have not decreased and increased. It is because his defensive skills are gradually mature and his defense breakthrough has been greatly improved. At the same time, because he cannot devote a lot of physical strength and energy to defense, gambling steals and blocks are also increasing. In fact, the correct defense method is to prevent the opponent from taking action or not approach the shooting area.

Stephen currently leads the steal list with 2.9 per game, which is higher than Chris Paul's 2.7. You should know that last season's steal king Bailang Davis only averaged 2.2 per game, so he won the steal king.

In the block list, Stephen also ranked eighth in the league with an average of 2:00 per game, and is ahead of Yao Ming and Duncan. You should know that he is a guard in the future. The highest record of guards in historical records is Jordan's 1:00, and Stephen has surpassed Jordan.

Of course, it is reasonable to say that Stephen is a small forward, but Stephen's height is exactly the same as Jordan. If this record can be put on Jordan's head, it can also be put on Stephen's head.

While feeling Stephen's tight defense, LeBron James was running while observing his teammates' positions. According to the team's tactics, he was still the first player to attack, but if other teammates had better chances, he would not force himself to attack.

Although LeBron James is not popular with Americans who advocate personal heroism at this point, LeBron James insists on this approach because it is in line with the way of winning basketball. The defensive pressure is always the heaviest on himself. If his teammates can run out of the open space, why not ask his teammates to take action? It is obvious that his chances are better.

This is actually the ultimate kill. Jordan himself once said that he missed far more winning shots than he made, but many people remembered that he had made the final shots, because as long as he dared to take action at this time, it shows your courage and confidence, and this is what Americans value the most.

LeBron James is not lacking in courage and confidence, but his most recognized code of conduct is reason. However, at any time, he uses reason to measure every thing and every choice of his own.

So at this time, facing the strong pressure given by Stephen, LeBron James did not intend to attack hard at all. Instead, after making countless fake attempts, he suddenly passed the ball to Larry Hughes.

Then LeBron James ran to the basket again. Stephen saw Larry Hughes under Wilkins' defense and continued to go to LeBron James. After Larry Hughes got the ball, the attack time was only seven seconds left. He took the ball and made a move to pass the ball to LeBron James. At the same time, LeBron James also turned around and reached out to receive the ball.

Stephen quickly turned around and blocked between LeBron James and Larry Hughes, and at the same time he began to accumulate strength, preparing to block the pass from Larry Hughes to LeBron James, and Wilkins also left Larry Hughes a little.

"Press up." When Stephen saw Wilkins, he thought Larry Hughes was about to pass the ball, he suddenly thought of a possibility and hurriedly reminded Wilkins, but it was too late. Larry Hughes stepped outside the three-point line, stepped inside the three-point line and jumped backwards, throwing the ball towards the basket.

"Rebound" Stephen reminded his teammates while rushing to the basket. Although judging from the flight trajectory of the ball, the possibility of the ball entering is very high, there is also the possibility of not entering. LeBron James stretched out his arms and leaned back, blocking Stephen from the periphery.

The ball flew fast and fast. Before Stephen could bypass LeBron James, he flew to the basket. From Stephen's perspective, the lower half of the ball had fallen into the basket, but after a crisp impact, the ball quickly bounced back to the other side and then bounced out of the basket.

However, the ball bounced toward the other side of the basket, where Wilcox stood, Drew Guden, Watson stood, and Gibson was still running, and it was still a little distance away from here.

But just under the attack of two Supersonic players, Drew Guden actually grabbed the rebound, and then he quickly passed it to Gibson. After Gibson got the ball, Wochsen had already rushed over at the fastest speed, so he did not dare to let the ball stay in his hand and passed it directly to LeBron James.

Before receiving the ball, LeBron saw that the timer on the basket was huge, very eye-catching zero three, which means that there was only three seconds left in the game. After receiving the ball, there was no time to pass it to other people, and there was not even time to observe teammates. LeBron James couldn't help but fail to take action.

LeBron James didn't even have time to observe Stephen's position, so he jumped up and came to the air. He leaned back slightly, raised the ball over his head and was about to take action when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, stretched out his big hand and pressed the ball he had just thrown back into his hand. At the same time, he heard the whistle at the end of the game.

When he fell down, LeBron James couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the game still lost, but when he was about to accept the fate of failure, he saw a dispute on the sidelines.

It turned out that at the same time as the game ended, McBrown immediately protested to the referee. Stephen's move just now was an obvious foul, and the baseline referee also supported his view. In that case, LeBron and James would only end after the free throw. However, the referee of this game, Powell, believed that this was a standard blockade and was not a foul at all.

Through the live replay, it can be clearly seen that Stephen and LeBron James had no physical contact, and the ball was blocked after LeBron James took action. At the same time, this scene also clearly appeared on the large screen above the court.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, in the face of such clear evidence, the Cleveland Cavaliers fans quickly accepted the result and gradually began to leave the court, and the players from both sides also began to leave the court.

Before leaving, LeBron James hugged Stephen and said goodbye. LeBron James whispered in Stephen's ear: "You won this game. Wait for me in Seattle. I will definitely win next time."

"I'm waiting for you. If you want to win, you have to work harder." Stephen responded unwillingly, and then he began to leave the game. In this game, he and his team both achieved comprehensive victory. Although the process was very thrilling, winning means winning. What is needed at this time is happiness and relaxation.

Stephen scored 41 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, four steals and two blocks in this game, and missed the triple-double again. LeBron James also scored 36 points, eight rebounds, ten assists, three steals and one block. It was also a quasi-triple-double and a rare high score, but LeBron James' heart was full of depression and bitterness.

Even after winning the game, the Supersonics left Cleveland like a fleeing. There was no way. In this four consecutive away trip, the next two games were back-to-back schedules. They had just experienced a hard fight, but when they thought they would have another game tomorrow night, they felt that their physical fatigue was a little worse.

Moreover, before resting, you have to fly for nearly an hour before you can fly to New Jersey, the next away game. As soon as you get on the plane, all the players are ready to take a nap in the plane. Only members of the coaching staff cannot rest and must prepare for tomorrow's night's game as soon as possible.

As for why you have to fly to the away game just after the game is over, instead of resting here for a night before flying, it is because someone has discovered through research a long time ago that flying can increase fatigue and must be relieved through sleep.

If the team is allowed to rest here and then fly over in a plane, the fatigue caused by the flight will not be relieved. It is better to fly directly as soon as the game is over and then let the players rest for a while.

In this way, the Supersonics landed at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark. The New Jersey Nets' home court was in the city of Newark. After arriving at the hotel, Stephen was about to lie down when he suddenly received a text message on his phone, which read: "I'm in Room 705, Room 705, Windsor Hotel, New York. Can I come?"
