After the regular season started, the Supersonics did not play well at one time. In the first game, the Houston Rockets lost the game unexpectedly. Stephen only got 21 points, four rebounds and three assists under the rotation of defense of Ron Artest and Sean Bathier. Except for him, no one in the team scored another twenty points, while the Rockets performed very well on the outside, with three-pointers as raining as rain. Especially when Stephen came off the court in the third quarter, he simply played the Supersonics with no power to fight back.

The second away game back-to-back match was against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although Seattle was very cold, it was nothing compared to Minneapolis. Although the target center was not cold, the SuperSonics felt like they were frozen, especially Durant made 0 seven shots. Until the third quarter, the SuperSonics fell behind the Timberwolves, who didn't even have a star player.

Just when many people thought that today's game would end the same as yesterday, Stephen, who could not stand the defeat, suddenly broke out and scored nine points in the last three minutes of the third quarter, chasing the score gap to within ten. Then, the fourth quarter continued the state of the previous quarter at the beginning, leading the team to a four-to-zero **, which made the Timberwolves have no temper at all. Finally, he successfully won the game, avoiding the start of two consecutive losses, and also avoiding losing to a weak team like the Timberwolves.

Back to his home key center arena, although it has been renovated in the summer, the facilities of the stadium are still so dilapidated. However, for the Supersonics' first game at home this season, the fans still sat in a lot of face. Unfortunately, the Supersonics' opponent today is the Boston Celtics, the champion of last season.

Whether it is luck or performance, being able to win the championship means that they have the championship level. Such an opponent is not easy to play. Moreover, in the first two games, the Supersonics team was basically in a very good state, which also made many people wonder whether the Supersonics team had affected their preparations due to pre-season transactions, which caused the current situation.

Especially Stephen's state, from last season to the finals of the Olympic Games, he has always performed very well. It can be said that he has been going up all the way, but nothing can continue to develop like this. There will inevitably be a downturn. Then he regroups and regains confidence and continues to climb upwards. The same is true for people. Many people believe that Stephen's state has reached its highest point and is now entering a low point. Although there was an explosion in the last game, for him, occasionally it does not represent anything. Last season, he basically finished the whole season without any fluctuations.

In fact, it is certainly true. Stephen himself felt that his condition was not like this. However, after seeing Yao Ming's experience, Stephen also wanted to regain his energy and let his body take a good rest, so that he would automatically relax his spirit. In the preseason, Stephen should have improved his condition, but in order to give the new players more time to exercise, Stephen almost did not play well. He suddenly entered the regular season and naturally it was impossible to improve his condition.

But in front of thousands of home spectators, under the suffocating and airtight defense of the Boston Celtics, Stephen's condition suddenly rose. Facing Paul Pierce's defense and Kevin Garnett's assisted defense, Stephen was like a heroic Cavalier on the battlefield, galloping with his sword and being unstoppable. He was able to make the defense-based defense of the Boston Celtics like this. Stephen is the first person in the league. This is what Maverick Albert, who commented on this game, said.

He knew that he would offend many players in the league, but seeing Stephen's heroic performance as if no one was in power, it still made people want to be amazed. Stephen's scores were not many, and it was not coherent. There were also cases of missing hits several times in a row, but this momentum made people look very terrible. No matter how strong the Celtics' defense is, Stephen could penetrate it.

Under Stephen's leadership, the other players of the Supersonics gradually became in shape, but the Boston Celtics' defense was full of loopholes because of the continuous breakthrough by Stephen. Slowly, the Supersonics took the lead.

Although the Boston Celtics are very resilient and keep chasing, Stephen transformed into a calm commander at this time, firmly controlling the game situation, making the Boston Celtics' pursuit in vain. Although Ray Allen made three three-pointers in the fourth quarter, although Kevin Garnett sent two blocks in the last five minutes, Paul Pierce hit the Supersonics' basket again and again, the single-digit score difference did not narrow until the end of the game.

Winning the Boston Celtics has witnessed the ability of the Supersonics. It is still the Supersonics with super offensive and excellent defense last season. Although the personnel have changed, it has no impact on their strength. Stephen is still the omnipotent Stephen, and he has not been tired due to the busy summer. If Yao Ming recovers his health and becomes dissolved into the team, then it is conceivable how terrible the team will be.

The defeat of the Boston Celtics allowed the Supersonics to get a good start at home and also won two consecutive victories. After a day of rest, the Supersonics went to Salt Lake City, Utah. In the Energy Solution Center Arena, the Utah Jazz, which has always been at home and away, faced the Supersonics' powerful offensive and only resisted the defeat in the half-time game. Although Sloan yelled and shouted on the sidelines, the players still could not raise the will to resist.

After three consecutive victories, the team got another day off. Caresimo gave the players a day off. After training, Stephen drove to his home in Seattle. Although Yao Ming also wanted a small island like Stephen, he immediately gave up after inquiring about the price. After realizing that his body was in a risky state, Yao Ming became much more cautious about spending money. He just chose a villa with front and back gardens by the lake and lived in it. However, it was less than half an hour away from Stephen's home, and of course it was at the speed of a sports car.

After coming to Yao Ming's home, he found that not only Chen Yingjie was here, but also team doctor Mike Schmunsky was here. After examination, the cracks on Yao Ming's bones had completely disappeared. Of course, this does not mean that he can play on the court. It is still a long time before that, but there is no problem with normal walking. Team doctor Mike Schmunsky told Yao Ming that if there is no abnormality after three days, after another test, he can start rehabilitation training.

The initial training was mainly to exercise the small muscle groups on the legs and feet. Due to injuries, they have already atrophy. They must be trained to get back to their original state or even better in order to protect the bones inside. However, while exercising this, Yao Ming can also perform some training without affecting the feet.

Chen Yingjie also said that he had already stopped taking traditional Chinese medicine oral medicine. It would take a while for the medicine to soak the feet. At most no more than one month, Yao Ming can recover to a complete state. Moreover, according to Yao Ming's recovery, it may even be in advance.

However, for the sake of safety, no one would agree to let him return to the court early. He is now the biggest wealth of the Supersonics. Although it is on the books, he holds the team's highest salary. Because the recovery is ideal, Yao Ming also seems very happy. Without the previous frowning face, the whole family naturally smiles happily.

Based on Yao Ming's technical characteristics, Caresimo has been designing new tactics. However, unlike Jeff Van Gundy, he does not require Yao Ming to attack in a low position, but requires Yao Ming's range of movement to be larger, so that Yao Ming's weight can be further reduced. However, for Yao Ming, controlling weight is not easy, because athletes' weight is not like ordinary people, they are basically muscles, and weight loss and weight gain are not that simple.

Yao Ming's goal is to reduce his weight to about 280 pounds at the end of this season, and to further reduce the fat content, so as to ensure his power at the low post. Although affected by injuries, Yao Ming still does not want to give up the space under the basket, which originally belonged to him.

After the others left, Yao Ming and Stephen sat in the back garden and started chatting. In addition to this team, there was also the team there, and they were preparing to cooperate in business. They also talked a lot. It was really fun to have such a person in a team. Although the relationship between Cooperd and Stephen was more intimate, they were more like a little brother who had no opinions, not like Yao Ming, but like an older friend.

Both of them are very optimistic about the team's prospects and have much more expectations for the championship than before. The Boston Celtics can win, and other teams can naturally win, and this is still the case when Yao Ming cannot play.

Yao Ming also felt that the first time he was so close to the championship, he had a helper with enough ability and no injuries, and a group of teammates with strong and not very old age. This was a very happy thing. At this time, Yao Ming didn't think it was a mistake to leave the Rockets at all, although there was still a little regret.

The two chatted late at night, and Stephen drove away. When he arrived at his doorstep, he saw that he was waiting there. He didn't know when Philipta Martin was waiting there. The two went in hand in hand and enjoyed a passionate night.
