The Greek team is a team that pays more attention to the overall player's personal strength. Relatively speaking, Spanoris is slightly stronger than other players in terms of personal offensive ability, so many times the Greek team uses him as a sharp knife to attack.

Greece's head coach Panayotis Yannakis is a head coach with very strict requirements on the team's discipline. It was under his strict requirements that the Greek team made great progress and grew from a mid-stream team to a world-class strong team.

In the last World Championships, the US team lost to him as a whole. Their offense and defense were relatively balanced, with a typical European style, but they were more united and the player lineup was more balanced.

Their point guard Papalucas can actually see the style of this Greek team. After Papalucas became famous in Europe, he did not enter the league like other players, but insisted on staying in Europe because he clearly realized that his style was not suitable for the league development.

In fact, for those players, staying in Europe as a core star earns no less money than in the league, because most of the settlement wages of European clubs are after tax, and the club can also provide players with various benefits such as cars, luxury houses, and family care, which is not allowed in the league.

But there are still so many players who give up the generous treatment and adaptable life here and choose to work hard in the United States on the other side of the ocean. Some are out of the pursuit of basketball. There is nothing here. They need to prove themselves to a higher hall. This is technical and famous. After all, that is the center of basketball.

Of course, there are also top salary in Europe for money, which is equivalent to about 10 million US dollars before tax. If you want to have higher pursuits, you should get more here. And as an extremely commercial alliance, the chance of getting other commercial contracts is also higher.

However, like Asian players, European players were the first inside players to adapt to league games, including Sabonis, Ilgoshkas, and then Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Gasol, etc., becoming first-class stars in the league.

But as for outside players, Tony Parker is the first more successful example, but he also guided him with **Victz. It took him a long time to adapt to the league game. Many times, the team or coach will not give you that long time to adapt.

Like "The King of Europe" Jascovius and "The King of Europe" Spanoris are all obvious examples, while other like "The King of Europe" Sergio Rodriguez, Rudy Fernandez, and Juannavaro are not considered successful examples.

Papalucas' wisdom and rationality can be seen. Teams controlled by such people rarely make mistakes. In addition, Panayotis Yannakis' strict discipline requirements, the Greek team's offense and defense are very stable.

Every attack they attack strictly follows tactics. It is rare to see players rely on their personal abilities and go straight to the basket without tactics. They will not see players throwing the ball towards the basket regardless of their opponent's strict defense. This is contrary to their basketball principles.

Compared to them, Stephen is the other extreme. He is above tactics at any time. Tactics are always for him. He has absolute rights and freedom and can shoot at will without considering defense.

If it weren't for considering that his teammates' strength was too different from him, Yunas would never have given Stephen such a high treatment, but Stephen also gave him full rewards.

Stephen was trained from **Vicci. **Vicci's basketball philosophy is not that the team is above everything, nor that individual is above everything, but that victory is above everything. As long as you win, all methods are allowed. Relatively speaking, the San Antonio Spurs play quite collectively.

- While the Spurs gave Stephen a space to perform his personal heroism, they also instilled the concept of collective basketball in Stephen, so Stephen is a very complicated player. When many people evaluate Stephen, they are more one-sided and cannot accurately define Stephen.

Stephen's data is excellent and comprehensive, but his comprehensiveness is not like the kind of deliberately made by LeBron James. Stephen is more persistent in scoring than him, and he has the domineering aura of no one else but me. However, Stephen is also a clear difference from Kobe Bryant, who doesn't pay attention to anything except scoring.

After analyzing it, I still think that Stephen is more like Michael Jordan. Many people mention Michael Jordan, only his scoring, his dunk, his championship and his success in business, but they can't see Jordan's score, basketball and assists in addition to scoring, and he has been more than five basketball and assists for three consecutive years. He has maintained the highest record of defenders' blocks. He is the only guard who can get 200 steals and 100 blocks in the season (later broken by Stephen). He is the first and only one who can get the scoring champion and the best defensive player (broken by Stephen).

Except for dunking, Stephen is not as famous as Michael Jordan, and is similar in many aspects. Of course, the title of Jordan's successor is no longer popular now. Everyone knows that Michael Jordan only has one, and Stephen doesn't like to be the next person, so he usually tries to rarely associate himself with Jordan.

But his data, especially the data from last season, will give people the feeling that he can only score. Especially for those who rarely watch his game, they will think that he will be a player who only cares about scoring his own score. This impression cannot be corrected by reading a few comments about Stephen.

Everyone has their own basketball concept, which is gradually developed and it is difficult to change suddenly, just like Panayotis Yannakis, in his mind, those NBA players have always only played alone, relying on their super physical fitness to play, and regard the team as nothing.

Stephen is the only player who can dominate among so many solo masters, win the season's scoring champion, and break the season's average score record that no one has completed for decades. He is definitely such a player.

Average of 40 per game, what kind of data is this? You should know that in European basketball, the team's core players rarely average 20 per game, so although they are more vigilant about Stephen, deep down, Panayotis Yannakis does not recognize this behavior.

In their minds, overall basketball is the king. No matter how powerful you are, you are not as good as a player. A person's condition is good or bad, ups and downs, but a whole will not.

He does not think that the Chinese team with Stephen cannot be defeated. If everyone is like the American team, they are all superstars, and then one person is in poor condition and there will be another one to make up for it. Even if he has defeated the American team, he still recognizes the strength of the American team.

But the Chinese team is not the case. Stephen has super personal abilities, he admits, but he does not think that other players of the Chinese national team also have such strength. A team with uneven strength means that they have weaknesses and loopholes. Moreover, Stephen has only played more than a dozen games with this team. Even if he can integrate, how much can he integrate?

So in this game, he decided not to focus on Stephen's defense, but instead focused on other players of the Chinese national team, including Yao Ming, and did not give them too many offensive opportunities to see how powerful Stephen can be.

Of course, this does not mean that you don’t defend Stephen. For a player like Stephen, if you don’t defend him, wouldn’t it be like letting him score? Just like hitting a dog with meat buns, it will only think that it eats less.

His idea is to send a player to defend Stephen. As for one person who can't defend Stephen, he will take turns to join in. The Greek team is different from the Spanish team. His team has a lot of staff on the inside line and is not worried that no one can defend.

Panayotis Yannakis did not know that this defensive strategy method has been used in the league for a long time. There is no essential difference between letting Stephen defend against teammates and letting Stephen defend against teammates.

If you focus on Stephen's defense, the effect may not be good. Many people will not expect his attacking ability. If you focus on his teammates, Stephen can still attack independently and occasionally pass a subtle pass.

So when Stephen scored 31 points in the first half and the Chinese team led the Greek team 11 points 52 to 41, it meant the bankruptcy of this game strategy. The Greek team only scored 41 points, and Stephen scored 31 points alone.

If you fight hard to defend, the Greek team does not have much advantage over the Chinese team. His strength lies in the overall situation, and it is not particularly outstanding in terms of simplicity.

In the second half, Panayotis Yannakis changed his defensive strategy and began to take care of Stephen, but Stephen opened the assist gate at this time and frequently passed good goals for his teammates. As a result, not only did not narrow the score difference, but the score difference was also widened.

By the time Stephen came out, the Chinese national team had already led Greece by 14 points. While Stephen was not present, Spanoris led his teammates to launch a counterattack, and just narrowed the gap to double digits, and the third quarter ended.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, what unexpectedly surprised the Greek team was that Stephen returned to the court, assisting Yi Jianlian to hit a three-pointer as soon as he got on the court, and then another five-to-zero individual scoring show.

Although the Greek team tried their best and Pansoris also scored 11 points in the last quarter, every time Stephen was about to start the game, he either scored or assisted to defeat the Greek team's starting point in his bud. In the end, while Stephen scored 44 points, he also helped the Chinese national team defeat the Greek team with a 22-point advantage.
