Argentina national team head coach Fernandez was very surprised that Stephen stayed on the court. Don’t you know that this player is tired? And it’s very rare to be able to maintain the second half from such a good state...

Many superstar players will become very terrible once they enter a violent state, but most of them will become unstoppable like Stephen in a very short time. There are a few minutes, a quarter, and of course, there are also half-time or the whole game, but over time, their state will always fluctuate. Usually, most of them are shown in a very short time.

Why do many head coaches have nothing to adjust, but they still call a timeout when the opponent's entire team or stand alone in order to interrupt their state or interfere with their state?

You think that just a pause can interrupt a person's state, and after such a long half-time break, Stephen can still maintain such a good state, how could he not surprise Fernandez?

Especially at this time, he had replaced Ginobili and replaced Delfino. In addition to Juan Sanchez, the backcourt players sent Paboropoli Prireoni, and Leonardo Gutierrez also played. These three people formed the current backcourt lineup of the Argentine national team.

Since Nosioni had already committed three fouls, and Fernandez had not expected Stephen to stay on the court, and Nosioni was originally just a defensive defender, now it is time to strengthen his offense.

However, after seeing Stephen appear on the court, he quickly instructed Leonardo Gutierrez to switch positions to defend Stephen, because Juan Sanchez was only 1.94 meters and was seriously insufficient in strength.

Leonardo Gutierrez is slightly taller than Stephen, but his body is much stronger than Stephen. He is a strength player. Although his muscles are not as obvious as those of black players, they are particularly strong. Fernandez believes that at least he will not suffer too much in terms of strength when facing Stephen.

Moreover, Leonardo Gutierrez has another advantage, that is, he is very clear. Although he looks big and thick, he looks like a person with developed limbs and simple minds. In essence, he is a very clear player.

Moreover, since he rarely appears in international arena, his characteristic is not known to many people. He is also a hidden figure in the Argentina team. Fernandez believes that the intelligence collection of the Chinese national team will never pay attention to people like Leonardo Gutierrez. Although Yunas is experienced in international arena and knows European basketball well, Leonardo Gutierrez is the only non-area non-European player in the Argentina national team. He plays for Binhu Club in Argentina.

Seeing that Argentina changed a player to defend himself, Stephen did not raise his vigilance. According to the analysis of the pre-match game, Leonardo Gutierrez is not an absolute main player in the Argentine national team. His ability on both offense and defense is not very outstanding. He is a relatively mediocre player. Judging from his data, his performance is also very average. Perhaps Fernandez recruited him into the national team, but he only took a more comprehensive view, could take on multiple positions, and could undertake various tasks.

However, the understanding of his situation is limited to this, and no matter how much there is, Stephen did not take him seriously. The first time he came up, this guy wanted to fight Stephen head-on. Stephen was willing to pay attention to his player level, and directly accelerated and turned him up and left him behind and dunked.

The second time this guy was stolen by Stephen, his movements became much more fierce. Stephen didn't care. He fought against him a few times and let him see his strength advantage. This guy became much more honest.

But after two rounds, Stephen was about to attack with the ball, but before Stephen could speed up, he suddenly stepped on his feet. If Stephen had not noticed something was wrong, he responded quickly, and then he would have fallen and chewed the mud.

Although Gutierrez just stepped on it and quickly moved his feet away, and apologized to Stephen with a simple and honest smile, Stephen still had to feel a little uncomfortable. This kind of action cannot be explained simply by a mistake.

As a professional player, it is absolutely impossible to make a low-level mistake like stepping on the dance partner's feet. It is an ordinary expert who occasionally makes a mistake and then becomes despised.

Although the Argentine national team changed to a lineup that was not the main force, their offense was not greatly influenced. Although they failed to overtake the score, they still firmly grasped the score and prevented the Chinese national team from widening the gap.

After two or three rounds, Stephen realized that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him was not honest at all. He was actually a guy who was so slippery that he couldn't slip anymore. Once, when he was defending, he actually reached out to Stephen's jersey with his hand covered in saliva, which almost made Stephen feel sick.

This method is no longer a simple method, but a disgusting method and splashing method, which is simply unbearable.

Another time, when Stephen was singled on him, he pushed Stephen with his hands crossed and one hand clamped the hem of Stephen's jersey, covering the movement below, and the other hand pointed at Stephen's trousers and pulled it down hard.

The last time was to kick Stephen's Achilles tendon with his toes. Stephen was extremely angry and pretended to turn around and suddenly turned backwards, half of his arm, trying to elbow according to Gutierrez. Who knew that this guy was unusually aware. As soon as Stephen turned around, he seemed to be tilting backwards, screaming in his mouth, as if he had been hit by Stephen.

Stephen ignored it and continued his offensive action. After turning two and a half consecutive times, he used a hook to send the ball into the basket again.

Fernandez walked from the side to protest Stephen's actions just now. The referee didn't have much, but pointed at Leonardo Gutierrez and told Fernandez that if Stephen really attacked him, he should come and appeal.

But that's true. Although the referee did not stop the game, he still went to Stephen and quietly sued Stephen.

Star players like Stephen sometimes need preferential treatment even in international competitions, and sometimes it is like this. The referee is not a saint, nor is it God. He knows everything. When it is difficult to judge for many times, they will involuntarily tend to favor famous players.

Because they are famous, the same technical movements are naturally more perfect. Because in general, most of the ten players on both sides are entangled when fouls, or because of sight or too fast movements, and without enough observation to make the penalty, the referee can easily trust those famous players more.

Although the performance just now was not successful, Gutierrez saw the referee's process of communicating with Stephen, so after he came back, he became even more violent. With Stephen's absence from the ball, he actually covered the referee's vision with half of his body, and then used his knee to hit Stephen's lower body.

This kind of action is a very dangerous action. Since this is the case, Stephen naturally would not be polite to the other party. He also bent his knees and pushed his legs against the other party's thighs with his knees.

Although Stephen was behind, he came first. Before Gutierrez could hit Stephen, Stephen had already pushed him to the ground. Gutierrez screamed in pain and rubbed his thighs desperately.

The referee immediately came over and gave Stephen a physical foul. The physical foul refers to a foul that the player violates sports ethics. Under normal circumstances, even if it is a normal game action, it is easy to be judged for a physical foul because of too much contact, let alone Stephen's more obvious action.

Because neither side has the right to the ball, Stephen's side is the offensive side, so this time the violation foul was just two free throws, with Argentina's side taking two free throws and then serving in the middle circle once.

Stephen didn't have much, but stood aside, with a clear sarcastic smile on his face. The referee did not target Stephen too much. After all, this is in China. If this is in the league, if he dared to express such an expression after being convicted of a technical foul, he would be kicked out of the field.

At this time, Gutierrez was helped by the sidelines. After spraying aerosol, he returned to the field and came to perform these two free throws. On the surface, he seemed to be limping, but in fact Stephen knew that it was not that serious.

Because I know how much force I have used, and the top position is also a part with more flesh and thick flesh, so it will not cause any damage. After all, this is just a warm-up match, and Stephen dares not do it very seriously. If it is serious, it may also affect the Olympic Games.

Sure enough, as soon as he ran after the penalty kick, Gutierrez immediately seemed to be fine. Stephen did not care about him much, but continued to strengthen his attack while quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Two or three rounds passed, and Gutierrez was very concerned about his own movements. Although he was still constantly moving, he restrained a lot. However, the country was easy to change and it was difficult to move. He found that the referee did not pay attention to him, and Stephen was very strong, and immediately returned to his original state.

When Stephen was playing Gutierrez with his back, Gutierrez started pinching Stephen's butt with his hands. Stephen turned around and glared at him fiercely. As a result, the guy was not afraid at all, and his hands kept moving. Stephen deliberately secretly raised his elbows and the muscles on his shoulders became tense. Gutierrez immediately guessed what Stephen was going to do and was ready immediately.

He was not interested in getting hit, so when Stephen turned around suddenly, he screamed and fell to the ground. In order to make the performance more realistic, Gutierrez deliberately kicked the ground with his heel, which seemed to be hit by Stephen.

But he didn't know that it was exactly what Stephen wanted. When Stephen turned around, he did not wave his elbow, but instead took his arms back. Everyone saw it clearly. Stephen just turned around, without any extra movements. He was even a short distance between him and Gutierrez. Gutierrez flew back and covered his face with his hands. However, Stephen had no contact with his face, whether it was his elbow, shoulder, or even his whole body.
