"Beep..." As the referee whistle sounded, Nick Colinson stretched out his hand depressedly, indicating that he was fouled. With Persian Nakba's two free throws, the score on the field became 62 to 41. Szebiak finally narrowed the gap to within 20 with two three-pointers, and was immediately pulled back.
The New Jersey Nets were able to lead the Supersonics by just a little more than halftime. It was due to the performance of the whole team and the Supersonics' offense. Now the Nets have scored in double digits with four players, and Stephen is the only one who scored in double digits with the Supersonics. Stephen only scored 12 points in the first quarter, and ended up because of too many fouls before the first quarter.
Relying on the team's efforts and struggle without fouls, the Supersonics barely maintained the score difference within 30. It is not because of how strong the Nets are. It can only be said that the Supersonics performed very badly today. This Nets are still the same Nets, but the Supersonics are not the Supersonics that are invincible in the offense and are capturing the enemy's defense line.
In the final analysis, the current SuperSonics are still inseparable from Stephen. When they played a little over eight minutes in the first quarter, the SuperSonics led the Nets by four points, but with Stephen receiving two consecutive fouls in a very short time, coupled with one foul in the previous game, he got three fouls in less than a quarter, Stephen had to go off the court to rest.
The loss of Stephen made the Supersonics lose their core on both offense and defense, but the Nets seized this opportunity and, under the leadership of Jason Kidd, the offense was a sensation. At the end of the first quarter, they had already overtaken and led the Supersonics by seven points.
In the second quarter, Stephen still sat off the court and did not play. After a brief confusion, the Nets quickly launched an offensive again, widening the gap to more than fifteen points in one fell swoop. Fortunately, Caresimo used substitutions to stabilize the situation at this time.
Although the appearance of Cott Thomas and Robert Horry failed to solve the offensive problems, the Nets' offensive was curbed with defense. Just when many people thought that Stephen would always change to the court, Stephen still sat on the court.
After finding that his team's offense could not be resolved, Calesimo immediately thought of using defense to disrupt the opponent's offense, replaced all the main players, replaced them with substitutes who rarely appeared this season, and then asked them to interrupt the opponent's offense with fierce fouls.
Obviously this is just a temporary measure. This method is impossible to win the game, but it can interrupt the opponent's offense. However, the Nets still used piecemeal methods to widen the score difference to twenty-five points between the end of the first half.
Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson and Persian Jane Nakba are the leading contributors of the Nets, especially Nakba. Although this Slovenian player is considered abnormal among white people, his defense is very poor. This is also the main reason why he did not like Van Gundy and was eventually traded by the Rockets.
For the Nets, because the team does not emphasize defense, his offensive ability has been shown the greatest display. He is the number one bench gangster in the Nets' substitute lineup. His three-pointers and breakthroughs are often made. Coupled with his handsome face, sunny smile and cool offensive actions, at least in the minds of female fans, he is the most popular and one of the top three handsome guys in the league.
It was only when he was playing in the second quarter that the score was widened. However, after being ruthlessly fouled by Wilkins for two consecutive fierce fouls, he immediately lost his touch. Otherwise, if he continued to play, the score difference would definitely be widened to 30.
After the half-time break, at the beginning of the second half, everyone found that Stephen was still not on the court, but continued to sit on the bench. Even if he had three fouls, he shouldn't have not been on the court yet. Could it be that there was something wrong with his physical condition, or was he punished by the team because of his two unnecessary fouls?
Calesimo shouldn't have the courage. This is what many people who know Calesimo well think of it, but it still cannot explain why Stephen was not playing. He saw him sitting there, covering his face with a towel most of the time, occasionally observing the situation on the court, and saying a few words to his coach or teammates.
Fortunately, as soon as the third quarter came, Szebiak made two consecutive three-pointers to help the team close the game. Although the opponent immediately pulled back two points, the score difference seemed to be less terrible. However, the score difference of 21 points was already 3 minutes and 25 seconds after the third quarter. The Supersonics still failed to find a sure attack point, which was their biggest problem.
At this time, the broadcast seat quickly captured a picture from a camera and switched over instantly. Calesimo twisted his body and was talking to Stephen. Could it be that Stephen was about to play? Many people who were no longer interested in this game sat upright.
Stephen now has this appeal. As the scoring champion this season, he is also a player who has led the team to make his record improve rapidly. Some people call him a magical or phenomenal player. If he can play, he will definitely change the situation on the court.
After working hard all night, Stephen felt like he was his body. Fortunately, he slept until noon in the Windsor Hotel and felt much better. Then he returned to Newark from New York. After returning, neither the coaching staff nor the teammates asked Stephen to go to the evening. After all, this is a private**, and he pays great attention to this in the United States.
Because I played the game in the evening and flew over from the away game, the team did not arrange training in the morning, and most of the players were resting. In the afternoon, I conducted a simple training and started preparing for the game tonight.
Stephen felt that his body had no problem, and at least one game should not be a problem. Who knew that during the game, Stephen felt something strange. His body could only exert 70% of his combat power at most, and it was not enough to persist in a game.
After discovering it, Stephen had already scored twelve points. At this time, Stephen made a decision, which was to leave the court to rest, save the time of the decisive victory for the second half, and accumulate some energy off the court. However, Stephen was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask for a rest. At the same time, his teammates would not have the will to fight to the death, so Stephen was cruel to apply for two fouls and went straight to the scene.
Of course, Stephen did not do so obviously. Others only thought that Stephen was not sure about the referee's judgment standard, and no one expected Stephen to go off the court. Only Carlesimo thought of this, but he didn't say much, and after replacing Stephen, he did not plan to let him play in the first half.
However, the players did not quickly adapt to Stephen's absence. The team lost points continuously and often did not make any attacks. Stephen was anxious to see below, so he simply covered his head with his hair, and it was a clean sight.
Before the second half, Caresimo secretly asked Stephen if he would play. Stephen said a few more minutes to take a break. If his teammates can maintain the current score and not be expanded, he will only have one minute at night and he will be able to get more physical strength.
Stephen did not have the confidence to win in this evening's game, but Stephen naturally would not surrender without fighting. When Carlesimo asked if he wanted to play, Stephen replied that he would observe it again. What if the team's offense improved, he would not be able to get a few minutes at night.
I thought that the team's offense was still good just now. In a blink of an eye, in less than two minutes, the opponent widened the score difference to twenty-seven points. Now Calesimo couldn't sit still and stood up and called a timeout. At this time, Stephen also stood up and prepared to play.
It would be too late to play, and the game time is getting less and less. If the score difference is widened a little, even if Stephen's ability is against the will, he may not be able to reverse it. So although he feels that his body has not recovered to satisfy himself, Stephen still plans to play.
Seeing Stephen stand up on his own initiative, Carlesimo understood what Stephen meant. He originally planned to set up some tactics. Now let's substitution first. Stephen followed all the main lineups back on the court, and the Nets immediately raised their vigilance.
After Stephen came up, he received the ball and shot outside the three-point line. He ended up shooting a ball of air and shot it into Wilcox's arms, which made Wilcox very depressed. Is this passing or a shooting shot? If it's a passing ball, it's up to you. If it's a shooting, it's a rebound.
Stephen used a move to find the feel, and then Wilcox passed the ball back to Stephen. Stephen immediately began to try to break through. After getting rid of Carter's defense, Stephen easily passed Sean Williams, but still missed the shot from the basket.
However, Stephen grabbed the rebound himself, made a fake move to attract Josh Boone's attention, and passed the ball to Coupard. However, Coupard's shooting was destroyed by Sean Williams. Although the ball was still on the Supersonics side, the attack time was less than ten seconds.
Wilcox directly sent the ball to Stephen. Facing the double-team between Carter and Sean Williams, Stephen took a step back and came out of the three-point line. He raised his hand and Sean Williams immediately flew up. Then Stephen took the ball safely. The ball flew into the basket, and the difference reached twenty-four points. Although this was just an ordinary three-pointer, it represented the beginning of a reversal and chase.
