Chapter 834
After the timeout, Del Nigro replaced Ben Gordon and replaced Nosioni. In Del Nigro's eyes, there was no Nosioni position. Although Nosioni played very hard and worked very hard in defense, he had no offensive ability or the offensive ability that Del Nigro wanted, which made him a big taboo.
Originally, Nosioni was not in his eyes. Since he took over the Bulls, the one he wanted to send away was Nosioni, but he had never been able to do it. However, at this time, he remembered Nosioni's defensive ability. Although he was not at the top of the league, he had to force others to make a lot of money.
However, after Nosioni went up, the scene only looked better. At least the Bulls were defending. As for the defensive effect, there is no need to mention it.
After the timeout, the Bulls scored a goal, but after coming back, Stephen just used Cott Thomas to help cover Nosioni, and Drew Guden, who was supposed to be the one who defended Stephen, stood singly three meters away, without even the intention of moving to this side. Naturally, Stephen would not be polite to him. He rushed to the basket and raised his hand and scored a layup, and scored two points again.
As Drew Guden missed the shot, the basketball was taken by Coopard and passed it quickly to Stephen. However, Nosioni cleverly blocked Stephen in advance and prevented Stephen's fast break. However, as soon as Stephen passed the half, he directly made a forward shot and sent the ball into the basket again.
Another three-pointer. After the timeout, the Bulls scored two points, but Stephen scored five points again. Seeing such a scoring performance, Bulls fans once again missed the omnipotent figure.
In the past, I watched my Cavaliers capture other people's positions, but now it's their turn to know how uncomfortable this feeling is. Although the Bulls have been in decline for nearly ten years after losing Michael Jordan, the memory is still clearly remembered in the hearts of Bulls fans.
Stephen's performance did not end here, but continued to perform, like a knife, cutting them constantly. Two points, three points, two plus one, free throw, and occasional missed shots would make them feel relaxed, but Stephen immediately made a comeback.
In this quarter, Stephen alone dominated more than 80% of the team's shooting, but the effect was not obvious. Thirty-five points in a single quarter broke the personal score record created by himself, and the three-point record of six shots in a single quarter was nothing.
The Bulls' team was full of ecstasy. The team only scored eighteen points in this quarter, just over half of Stephen's score. Looking at Derek Ross, Rollden, and Ben Gordon, these people all said to be players with excellent talent and potential, but in front of Stephen, they were like ordinary people who could not be more ordinary.
Even in the Supersonics, there are several people who can't believe it. The league history records have emerged with their own personal participation or witnessing it. Now, Russell Westbrook, Sergei Baka, Du Fei and others can feel the difference between themselves and Stephen. If you are also a genius compared to others, then Stephen is a genius among geniuses.
If you are also a star, then Stephen is the star among the stars. At least they all know very clearly that no matter how bad the Bulls' defense is, even if you give them so many opportunities to make phone calls, you will not get so many points. This is a game, not training.
When "Iceman" George Gervin scored 33 points in a single quarter, he was to fight against "Skywalker" David Thompson and won the title of scoring leader. In the last game of the regular season, because David Thompson was at that time, he scored 73 points in the game between the Denver Nuggets and the Detroit Pistons, who were at that time, scored 32 points in a single quarter, surpassing George Gervin in average points.
In order to help George Gervin regain the scoring champion, the San Antonio Spurs decided to help the whole team and help George Gervin make the scoring. In the game against the Uta Jazz, everyone passed the ball to George Gervin, helping George Gervin scored 63 points and 33 points in a single quarter. In the end, George Gervin won the scoring champion of the season.
The Spurs have done this more than once, so this record is not so glorious, but rather a bit disgusting. So when the last time I broke this record, Stephen was not very excited. After all, the legendary superstar of the Spurs was said in the wrong way. If he said it badly, he would be disrespectful to others. If he was bad, he would be dissatisfied with it. It would be better to say a few less words.
But Stephen's record did not come like this. Although most of the power to take action fell into Stephen's hands, he himself had this power, and his performance was also matched with this power. If someone else wanted to say that he was sure of this, who had such a high hit rate?
During the halftime break, the United Center Arena lost its previous noise and became a little quiet. Although the Bulls still arranged a lot of entertainment programs, no one was focusing on this at this time, either discussing or recalling Stephen's crazy performance in the previous quarter.
I haven't seen such a heart-warming scoring performance for a long time. It's not that good scorers have emerged in the league, but it's rare to dare to play like this in the United Center Arena. It's a pity that such a good player is one of the opponents. Many people think that the Bulls might have gotten this player who can compare to Jordan at that time. Unfortunately, all kinds of mistakes made the Bulls miss this opportunity for revival.
Of course, at this point, the Bulls are not the only one who regrets it, but only by seeing Stephen's performance can you know how regrettable the one they missed is.
The rest time flashed by. At the beginning of the first half of the second half, Stephen did not play, but sat off the court to rest. For Stephen, who had scored 47 points throughout the first half, he could indeed have a rest. The score in the first half alone was enough for many players to complete the entire game.
Since the beginning of the regular season, in more than two months, the league has scored more than 40 points in a single game, only two times. One time it was Stephen, and that time it also took the whole game to complete it. This time, it was surpassed in just halftime. All the teams felt cold and cold when they thought about this.
It is already scary enough for Stephen who regularly gets twenty or thirty points. Everyone knows that this is not his whole life, but to say that 40 points in each game is common, it is scary, because basically you can win three or five points most of the time in each game, and there are very few people who get tens of tens, but a player has more than ten explosive power. Doesn’t this mean that you have to worry about Stephen’s outbreak in basically every game.
But if that was not Stephen's outbreak, it was called an outbreak now. Even if you just got 10 or 20 in the second half, this would be no difficulty for Stephen. Wouldn't that mean that he could win 50 or 60 or 60 or 70 in this game? You should know that an outbreak of more than 50 per season is very rare, let alone 60 or 70.
This is really terrifying because you don’t know how to limit him. So far, the single-player defense has very obvious effect, and there is no one. Relying on the defensive system to defend, it has effect, but the effect is not good. Moreover, using the defensive system to defend, while strengthening Stephen’s point, it is necessary to weaken the defense of other points.
But in this supersonic team, what point do you dare to weaken, what point, what point, Yao Ming, or Durant? Watling or Cott Thomas also have considerable offensive ability, and it is definitely not the kind of player you don’t need to worry about even if you let go.
So in the face of this situation, there is basically no solution. Any head coach who sees such a player will have a headache or a headache, because you have no choice. There have been many such players in history, each of which is a storm of the times.
George McCann, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and Shark O'Neal are all one of the unsolvable players, of course, not limited to these.
But they are the most unsolvable, and they even force the league to modify the rules to limit them. However, Stephen's strength seems to be not necessary for the league to come forward, and the league cannot easily modify the rules to limit Stephen, because Stephen's score is not limited to a certain technology or method.
Since Stephen is not off the court, the Bulls will launch a fierce attack on the Supersonics' defense line without hesitation. Although they know that Stephen will likely appear early if they do this, but if you don't, you can only accept the fate of failure, because the gap between the two sides is too obvious, and as long as you narrow the score, Stephen will come out sooner or later.
As the core of the team, the opponent is Earl Watson, who seems to be easy to bully, so Derek Ross bravely took on the burden of counterattack and sounded the horn of counterattack.
After getting the ball, he quickly advanced to the half. Facing Earl Watson's courtyard, Derek Ross changed hands and crossed the ball. Seeing Earl Watson unmoved, he immediately turned around and came another one. Earl Watson moved his body very cautiously, but Derek Ross's body suddenly swung rapidly like a gust of wind. Earl Watson moved his body again. He could only block in advance according to his own prediction. However, as soon as he moved, Derek Ross moved as well and rushed in the direction he flashed past.
Earl Watson hurriedly turned around to chase, but Derek Ross had already jumped in the air and threw the ball towards the basket. This was his most terrifying point, which was that he jumped quickly and took quick action, and could complete all the movements in a much shorter time than ordinary people.
After coming back, Yao Ming easily helped the team get two points with a small hook. Jokin Noah was no match for him at all, so he didn't jump slowly.
Derek Ross teased Earl Watson again, but he retreated after reaching the basket. The Supersonics' defense immediately expanded outward, but he took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly kill in, jumped in from the clamping attack between Watson and Cott Thomas, glided for a long distance, and dunked the ball heavily into the basket.
This offense finally stirred up the atmosphere of the United Center Arena again. You have Stephen, and we also have Derek Rose. Although it seems that our Derek Rose is not your opponent now, we are young and have a chance to surpass you.
Derek Ross made four consecutive moves, all after breaking through Earlwaterlin's defense, which made Earlwaterson very embarrassed. No matter who he faced, he had never been so embarrassed. He could not have imagined that a rookie was so powerful.
Earl Watson is a very steady player. No matter how unconvinced he was, he always kept calm inside. Finally, he kept up with Derek Ross' breakthrough and did not give him a chance to continue shooting at the basket. However, Derek Ross scored the ball out and directly passed by Ben Gordon. Ben Gordon took the ball immediately after receiving the ball, and the ball passed through the frame to help the Bulls win another three-pointer.
Although Derek Ross is a scoring defender, you cannot deny that his passing ability, especially the pass after a breakthrough, is a very threatening threat.
To some extent, he is another Dwayne Wade, a lightning potential with weakened strength but especially speed and flexibility. Both of them lack a certain long-range shooting ability, but the ability to break through layups or dunks is super strong, and the two of them are not just able to score points. If you only focus on his scoring, he can definitely kill you with a pass.
Then Derek Ross broke through and caused Earl Watson to foul, making both free throws. In less than three minutes, Derek Ross scored ten in a row and gave a three-point assist, which was equivalent to the thirteen points that the Bulls scored at the opening of the second half, either directly or indirectly from him alone.
The Supersonics only scored four points, the gap was narrowed to twelve points, and it was obvious that Earl Watson was not his opponent.
Bulls fans returned to their opening form. Although Derek Ross' performance in this wave is not as magical as Stephen, it is not bad. Such performance can still meet the requirements of Bulls fans. After all, Michael Jordan only has one, and Stephen only has one, and not everyone can compare it.
Caresimo first glanced at Stephen, and Stephen shook his head. He didn't have the idea of playing for the moment. He couldn't return to the court because of Derek Rose's small explosion. He was still ahead of 12 points. What are you afraid of? Although Stephen defended Dwayne Wade and the effect was very good, please don't doubt that Stephen didn't want to try that taste any more.
Carlesimo had to replace Russell Westbrook and replace Earl Watson. He thought that Westbrook would be better in defense against Derek Ross. Who knew that Russell Westbrook contributed two free throws to Derek Ross as soon as he came on the court.
It's not caused by impulse, it's too anxious to start. It's a point guard and a very good point guard. If you want to steal from him, that's that easy thing.
Stealing has a strong gambling nature and is not the best choice for defense. For a team with good defense, stealing is usually not good.
Westbrook's foul made Caresimo swear, and he insisted on sending him on the court. If his performance is not good and causes harm to the team, he will have to bear certain responsibilities.
Dris Ross made two free throws again, pushing the ball through the midfield at a speed no less than Derek Ross, and the Supersonics' offensive lineup was not fully set. Then he ignored the tactics and attacked the basket with the ball, but was blocked by Jokin Noah with a strong hat on the ball.
The ball was picked up by Derek Ross, and one of them stepped back and went outside the three-point line and shot directly. With his three-point shooting percentage, this was a very risky behavior, but Derek Ross, who was in an outbreak, didn't think about it at all. The shooting was so strong that he couldn't stop.
But the ball went in, and the gap between nearly 20 and only seven points was made. Carlesimo had to stand up and called a timeout. It seemed that Russell Westbrook was still not enough to defend Derek Ross, or try it if it was Jarret Jack.
Stephen knew how terrible it would be if a player like Derek Ross entered the explosion state. This could not be defended by substitutions, so Stephen took the initiative to stand up. Since you exploded, I will defeat you with a stronger explosion.
Stephen returned to the field, and the Bulls immediately increased their attention, but they did not substitute.
Stephen missed his first test shot after coming up, but fortunately the ball was snatched back by Cott Thomas and handed it back to Stephen. Stephen changed his offensive method this time, but he still did not throw the ball into it.
The United Center Arena suddenly booed. It seems that you didn't make it. There were times when you didn't make it. There was a madness in the first half. But just when Chicago fans were gloating, Stephen made up for the mistakes and grabbed the frontcourt basket. He took a big step back and came outside the three-point line. Without hesitation, he did not waver his confidence in taking action and firmly shot the ball back towards the basket.
The ball hit the middle of the rebound, then rebounded down, hit the outer edge of the basket, jumped high again, landed on the edge of the basket, and stopped briefly. It seemed that when it was about to turn outward, it suddenly fell inward and fell into the middle of the basket.
The United Center Arena, which was still crowded just now, suddenly lost its voice. Although Stephen made three shots before throwing the ball, his firm belief in taking action and his strong confidence in himself made Bulls fans a little
Worry, will Stephen do it again like the second quarter?
