Let’s not talk about the ambitions of the two little people for the time being. No matter how talented you are, the team is choosing you, not choosing a team. Compared with the team, players are always at a disadvantage. If you are determined to play for that team, you can go in as a non-draft player.

There are not only those who enter the league in an unorthodox way, but few have great achievements. Not to mention the non-draft status, even if you enter the league in a second round, it is rare to have great achievements. Bill Sharman may have to count one, and now there is another Stephen.

Basketball is not like football, and fans do not have such deep feelings for the team. Still take Bill Sharman as an example. As a legendary superstar of the Boston Celtics, he eventually came to the Los Angeles Lakers to be the head coach, general manager, and club chairman.

This is like a Barcelona player who becomes the head coach and chairman of Real Madrid. This is absolutely unacceptable. Of course, different sports are not of contrast, but there is indeed few things in basketball that cry and shout to play for a certain team.

Both the team and the players interpret the word "profession" very well. The league is not without loyalty, but loyalty is extremely cheap. Just like the "Big Dream" Olajuwon was swept out to Toronto in his late years. He started playing for the Rockets as the No. 1 pick until he helped the team win the championship twice, and he has been with the Rockets throughout his career.

But in the end, as for players who have had a falling out with their old club due to salary issues, it is even more common. Carlos Boozer is a very obvious example. Of course, Carl Malone, who ran to the Lakers because of the championship, is also a very unique example.

If you go to the draft and enter the league, it depends on which team chooses you. If you are talented and powerful, and can make it into the first round, at least you don’t have to worry about the contract. If you are slightly worse in strength or have obvious shortcomings and fall into the second round, even if the team chooses you, it may not necessarily give you a contract, and you cannot sign contracts with other teams, that is unlucky.

However, both of them have a very high self-esteem, so they naturally don't think they will fall to this point. But at the same time, they are also wise, self-aware, and can clearly recognize their own problems. They are not in a hurry to participate in the draft, but decide to continue to work hard in the university league for a year.

On the one hand, they feel that there is still a need to improve themselves. The result of participating in the draft with their current strength is not necessarily very good, and they can still learn something in the university league; on the other hand, their desire for money is not as great as that of other people.

After the league issued new regulations, high school students and players were restricted from participating in the draft. At least you have to stay in college for a year before participating in the draft. Many players can't wait to participate in the draft for only one year, in order to make a lot of money earlier, so that they can pick up girls and buy sports cars and live a leisurely life.

Unless you plan to get a degree certificate in college for four years, generally speaking, those who go to the draft for sophomore or junior year will feel that there is nothing that can improve in college basketball.

After both sides returned to the court, the Lakers sent their own starting lineup, and the Supersonics also let Stephen rest on the court like the previous rotation, with Ridno, Wilkins, Durant, Nick Colinson and Robert Swift on the court.

The original inside lineup was not theirs, but due to Wilcox's departure, Cott Thomas played long enough in the first half. In addition, this lineup was mainly based on outside offense and inside defense, so it doesn't matter who the inside line is replaced.

The Lakers are back to the way they played at the beginning of the game. In fact, Kobe Bryant also knew that this way of play was reasonable, but sometimes he could not control his emotions, and a reasonable way of play might not be effective.

Originally, the Supersonics held a nine-point lead, but the Lakers' attacks were gradually overwhelmed. However, the Supersonics' outside offensive lineup could still maintain a certain firepower output, making it difficult for the Lakers to widen the score for a while.

Durant began to attack the Lakers' basket frequently as Calessimo ordered. He was completely different from Paul Pierce, but at this time he played a similar role. The Lakers were indeed a loophole in this position.

Durant's shooting ability is too strong, making people unable to defend at all. When he is ready to break through, his height advantage and flexibility will give him a big advantage. Luke Walton is no match for him at all. Every time he breaks through Luke Walton, Durant only needs to make a big step, and half of his body has surpassed Luke Walton's position. When Luke Walton wants to turn around to defend, Durant has left him behind, leaving only a slender back for him.

At this time, the Lakers sent Odom again and asked him to defend Durant. The two were basically the same height. Odom might look a little thinner than other inside players, but compared with Durant, he was a typical majestic man.

Kalesimo had expected this. He told Stephen during the halftime that he did not intend to follow the usual rotation rules for this game. Once the opponent overtook the score or sent Odom, he would let Stephen appear.

However, Stephen did not appear to replace Wilkins or Durant, but replaced Robert Swift. Could it be that Carlesimo wanted Stephen to play center? Although Stephen did not have this ability and played a cameo in the All-Star game, it was obvious that the All-Star and regular games were still different.

However, everyone soon realized his position. When they saw Stephen leaning against Turiav and attacking at the basket, everyone also knew that the position of the power forward was the standard power forward playing style. There was a power forward who was less than two meters before, and he also played like this.

This rotation is indeed unexpected. Moreover, Stephen has certain advantages at the basket, whether against Paul Gasol or Liriav, so the Lakers had to switch Odom to the position against Stephen, but this liberated Durant.

Durant is the height of the inside and the speed and style of playing on the outside, but Stephen is the height of the outside and the inside. One of them is wrong and Odom alone can only deal with one of them, but there are two here.

Moreover, the two people kept crossing covers, changing positions, and running positions, which eventually led to a misalignment, which made the Lakers' defense unable to follow. Soon the score was opened again. At this time, Kobe was anxious and immediately stood up and took over the game again, and used a wave of flow to narrow the score difference to only one point.^-^^-^
