After being dunked by Stephen, James quickly returned to his vitality. Just as Stephen was about to continue showing his power, he saw Bruce Bowen standing in front of the technical stage. His hot heart suddenly cooled down. It seemed that the coach didn't want him to stay on the court.

Stephen, who returned to the bench, received praise from the team boss Duncan. At least Stephen's dunk vented his anger, especially with this shot, the shot that was dunked off was easily overlooked. Duncan just acted stupidly and showed it inside.

Soon, the main players of the Spurs began to play one after another, while James was still working alone on the Cavaliers. How could he deal with the overall Spurs? As the score gap became bigger and bigger, other Cavaliers players gradually began to slack off. Seeing James on the court, he seemed to be desperate, but his teammates had given up his efforts. No matter how powerful he was, it would be useless. In the end, the Spurs won the victory with a gap of 24 points.

As soon as the game ended, the two teams took buses to the airport. Both teams had a away game tomorrow. The Spurs were home and away back to back, while the Cavaliers were away back to back. The Cavaliers needed to go to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies there, and the Spurs' opponent was the Mavericks, who were the "Texas Top Three" in total.

The back-to-back schedule is the most annoying for players. Just after the game, you have to take the bus and get on the plane. If the journey is far, it will be the second half of the night when you check into a strange hotel and you will definitely not be able to rest there. When you are in the second game back-to-back, you will definitely not be in good condition.

The Spurs are no exception. Although it is only 400 kilometers from San Antonio to Dallas, it takes at least three hours toss from the arena to the airport and from the airport to the tavern. After just playing a fierce game, you have to toss and eat in the car.

For Michael Finley and Van Exel, returning here is a revisiting place, but things have changed. The team is still the same team, the boss is still the boss, but most of the players have changed, and the coach is not the crazy scientist Nelson.

Especially Michael Finley, basically like he was swept out by the team. He returned to the American Airlines Center for the first time to conquer it, which made Finley's mood very fluctuating. As for Van Exel, it was very ordinary. He has walked through many teams in his career. The Mavericks are just an occasional stop in the middle, and the Spurs are likely to be the last stop.

However, the current coach of the Mavericks, Avery Johnson, is also from the Spurs. He is the former coach, Nelson, who is also half of the master of **Vic. Apart from these, the two sides have no connections. So at the beginning of the game, the Mavericks launched a crazy offense and tried to fight the Spurs without any defense.

The Spurs defended their defense well. After the first quarter, the Spurs scored two more points than the Mavericks, especially Tony Parker, who faced the young Devin Harris. Both of them were speed players. The breakthrough was a great pleasure to break through, which made the fans who were present say it was enjoyable.

However, in this way, both teams played faster. In the second quarter, the Spurs' lack of physical strength began to show, especially Ginobili, who missed four consecutive shots. **Vic looked at Michael Finley sitting on the bench in a daze and had to replace him with Brent Barry.

Bruce Bowen's performance was not good when he faced the same defensive player Josh Howard. He missed the two shots outside the three-point line. **Vic thought about it and felt that Stephen was still very good when playing with a group of substitutes. He happened to send Robert Horry to the side and let them play again. Then Stephen came to the court again.

Josh Howard's role in the Mavericks is very similar to Stephen. His responsibilities are both dedicated to defending the opponent's team's top forwards and guards, so his body is also very strong and speedy, and he also has a unique rebounding skills. In offense, he is best at playing hard at low posts. Few players in the same position can defend him. James and Anthony can compete with him physically, but they are not very good at low post defense.

At the same time, when Nelson was in the hands of his hands, he always liked to use him to fight with the opponent's inside players. Nelson liked to play the tactic of misalignment in offense, so he would inevitably lead to miss defense. Therefore, when Howard was under Nelson's hands, he often fought with inside players, which also further trained his low-post skills.

When Stephen was played back-to-back single by Josh Howard at a low post, he suddenly felt a move in his heart. This offensive method seemed to be very suitable for himself. His solid and steady steps, his super perception of the defensive players behind him, and his quick and fast turn speed. As for the basket, it was close to him, whether it was layup, picking, wiping or shooting, it was easier, and it just happened to make up for Stephen's weakness of insufficient shooting ability.

Back-on singles are originally an inside offensive skill. They need to reach an extremely low position on their backs and then complete the offense. However, since Jordan has developed this skill, many outside players have also begun to use this offensive method. Paul Pierce, who is also a skilled Kobe. Anthony among the new generation players is also very good at this, but because his offensive skills are too comprehensive, Stephen did not feel it in him. This time he met Josh Howard, and Stephen was moved.

Since back-on singles are facing the defensive players, they need excellent perception and dribbling ability. When playing back, they need to have solid and powerful steps, but when turning, they need to move very fast. It is precisely because back-on singles have very high requirements for players, so fewer and fewer people can master this skill, including most current inside players. The popular face-frame attack is now. Whether center or power forward, they use the offensive skills of the previous small forwards.

When defending Josh Howard, Stephen has been paying attention to Howard's power skills. While Howard was feeling Stephen's defense with his back, Stephen was also feeling his every move. If he wanted to say hard push, Stephen could push Josh Howard outside, but in that case, Stephen could not learn from the opponent, so Stephen only used two-thirds of the force, making Josh Howard's offense not so easy. Only then would he do his best and Stephen could learn this offensive method better.

After feeling it for two or three times, Stephen had a general framework in his mind. At the same time, combined with his own physical condition, Stephen thought about this offensive method in his mind and thought about it. You should know that in the past, no one used this offensive method. This is a clumsy offensive method that looks not very good-looking, and is used less and less on professional basketball courts, let alone on street courts that require viewing.

When the Spurs attacked, Stephen suddenly ran towards the inside line. Josh Howard followed him tightly. Stephen suddenly turned around, blocked Josh Howard behind him, and then reached out to Brent Barry opposite to start asking for the ball.

Brent Barry looked at Stephen in surprise. Although basically every professional player will go up and down with a few moves on his back and forth, it is not so easy to effectively convert this technique into a goal. Stephen has never seen him show it, nor has he practiced it. He just watched others use it a few times and wanted to use it. Is it okay? Although he was very skeptical about this, Brent Barry still handed the ball to Stephen.

**Wich suddenly opened a window when he saw this. Yes, with Stephen's strength and speed, if he attacked with his back-to-body singles, there were several people in the league who could defend it. In this way, the problem of his insufficient shooting ability was also solved. As for whether Stephen can master this offensive technique, **Vich was very confident. Stephen trained very hard, and at the same time, the basic training was completed well, with a physical foundation. With this premise, even a stupid person could train, not to mention that Engelland once said that Stephen had a very good understanding, and often he could understand it at one point, and few players could compare it.

Moreover, such roles are needed in the substitute lineup. Whether it is breakthrough or back-on-single-playing, it is the best offensive choice when the touch is not good. Robert Horry likes to float outside, which makes the space for back-on-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-single-sing

After receiving Brent's pass, Stephen first shook his back and sensed the strength and direction of Josh Howard's defense. At the same time, while dribbling in his hand, he stepped back. Josh Howard saw that Stephen dared to hit him on his back, and had already been prepared. Through the attack just now, he felt that Stephen's strength was good, but not as strong as he imagined. He suddenly exerted force behind him, trying to cause Stephen's feet to be unstable, so he would naturally make mistakes in walking or losing the ball. Who knew that Stephen was like he was not affected at all, but instead pushed him back and then continued to dribble and press back.

Since Stephen was not very confident in his shooting, he naturally hoped that the deeper the better. However, after pressing for less than two steps, Danpier came to assist in defense from one side. Stephen made a false move to the other side. Josh Howard immediately moved over, and a tiny gap was revealed between him and Danpier. As soon as Stephen was shorter, he drilled through the middle of the two. At this time, the swarming basket became empty. Stephen jumped directly and dunked with a one-handed dunk, scoring two points.

Robert Horry immediately ran to Stephen and patted Stephen's shoulder excitedly: "Boy, it's not bad, when did you learn this?"

"I just used it when I saw someone. I thought it was quite simple, so I learned to try it. I didn't expect it to be easy." Stephen answered very naturally while running, making Josh Howard, who was following him, turned blue with anger. He had been practicing for almost two years before he mastered it. He was actually said to be quite simple. I must let you see what is an authentic back-to-body single.
