Phil Jackson could not hold Kobe Bryant on the bench in the whole second half. At the same time, it was impossible for Calesimo to keep Stephen off the court and watch the team lose because in the second half of the third quarter, the Supersonics began to fall behind, which also reflects that Stephen caused more damage to the team than Kobe Bryant when the core player was not on the court.

As the third quarter approached the end of the year, the Supersonics took the lead in replacing Stephen because they were the backward side. With the intermission, Stephen also took a break for nearly half an hour and should go on the court to find his form instead of waiting until the start of the fourth quarter before changing him on.

Similarly, the Lakers also made the same choice. The two head coaches replaced their core guards at the same time. They did not ask for changes to the game in the third quarter, but just asked them to go up and find their state.

But as soon as he got on the court, Kobe Bryant made a three-pointer, avenging the SuperSonics' repeated revenge on the score by catching up with three-pointers. After returning, Odom completed a steal from Yao Ming's skill. Fortunately, Earl Watson blocked Odom in time and blocked his first pass route. Then Yao Ming snatched the ball from Odom with his backhand and passed it to Stephen for a turnover. Stephen quickly transitioned the ball to Du Fei, who had been ambushing the three-pointer in the bottom corner for a long time. Du Fei raised his hand and the ball flew into the basket.

Three-pointers are worthy of being the best weapon to chase points, and they are also the biggest weapon to widen the gap in the score. In the last minute and a half, the two teams attacked five times and each made three three-pointers. The Lakers are Kobe Bryant, who lives up to his position, two shots, Odom, and one shot, while the Supersonics are Du Fei, who made two shots, Earl Watson, and these three three-pointers are all completed by Stephen's assist.

The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with an eight-point lead, but they were hit by a blow just now. The ball was sent from Cott Thomas to Stephen. Stephen took the ball and took only two steps. Seeing Kobe Bryant coming over, he immediately pushed it up and shot. The distance behind him was the sideline of the court, and further behind, there were a large group of Hollywood stars who were either popular or out of breath.

Seeing these highly anticipated big stars sitting there watching the game like ordinary people, they chewed in their mouths, and when they saw the nervousness, they would take a breath of air conditioning. It was Stephen's shot, which surprised many people. Behind Stephen's figure was like a bamboo, a large number of stars either widened their eyes or opened their mouths to freeze. This photo was also selected by Sports Illustrated as the Best Photography Award of the Year.

There is an optimal background behind every wonderful goal, and the same is true for this goal. No one took Kobe Bryant, who unexpectedly turned around when he saw Stephen in this position, but this photo was enough.

The arc of the ball that Stephen shot was tall and round, just like an exact semicircle, extending from Stephen's hand to the center of the basket without any deviation. Back, Kobe Bryant got rid of Stephen's defense, but his back jump shot was slightly off because of the large amplitude. Kobe Bryant shook his hand in annoyance, and Stephen happened to see it. Stephen grimaced at Kobe Bryant, making Kobe Bryant turn his head angrily and not looking at him.

Who knew that after coming, Stephen's shooting also went out of the basket. It was Kobe Bryant's turn to joke with Stephen. Just in front of Stephen's eyes, Kobe Bryant stuck out his tongue and swung back and forth, his eyes full of smiles. Who knew that he suddenly saw Stephen receive the ball passed by Kote Thomas and rushed over as fast as possible, but Stephen had already jumped back and made a three-pointer to send the ball into the basket steadily.

The gap of eight points was narrowed to only two points, and Derek Fisher's dribble was a little faster, but Kobe Bryant knew that the more he was, the more he could not be anxious, and he had to play success rate. So after getting the ball, he just ran two steps, pulled the Supersonics' defense line, and handed the ball to Paul Gasol who was lifting it up. This was to prepare to play the triangular offensive tactics.

After passing the ball to Paul Gasol, Kobe Bryant immediately moved to the weak side, trying to bring Stephen to that side, while Luke Walton moved to that side, forming another triangle with Paul Gasol and Odom.

Kevin Durant chased after a little slower because Kobe Bryant suddenly passed through his front and blocked his footsteps. Luke Walton had already taken the ball from Paul Gasol. Although there was no residence around him, Luke Walton did not have any confidence in taking action. Instead, he followed the three-point line to the bottom corner. At this time, Odom was running outward and made a cross cover with Luke Walton. Then, when Luke Walton ran to Yao Ming, he suddenly passed the ball from the middle of his legs to Odom.

Durant's height and wingspan should not be a problem to defend Odom. Unfortunately, with his thin bamboo pole-like body, it was too difficult to stop Odom's impact. After getting the ball, Odom looked at Durant in front of him as if nothing had happened, and rushed towards the basket as soon as he was short.

Durant couldn't stop him for a moment, and Yao Ming hurriedly brought it up to make up for defense. Compared to Luke Watt, Odom's threat was obviously greater. Who knew that when Yao Ming was wrong, Odom pushed his hands and passed through the middle of Yao Ming's legs and came to Luke Watton's hand again.

Luke Walton jumped lightly like a swallow, and withdrew the ball into the basket as soon as he retracted his hand. The Lakers successfully widened the gap in the score again, but when they came back, Stephen received the ball and went straight to the basket. Kobe Bryant did not slacken at all, and was left behind by Stephen. Paul Gasol immediately stood in front of Stephen and raised his big hand to wait.

Stephen jumped up and flew over. Just as Paul Gasol's giant hand was covering it, Stephen's hand holding the ball suddenly pulled back, and from a small throw to a big throw. The referee "beeped" and the ball not only made a foul, but also caused Paul Gasol to foul. Stephen followed the free throw and narrowed the gap to one point.

In the next two rounds, neither team could score. Seeing that the one-point gap was so difficult to narrow, Stephen was anxious and hit Kobe Bryant's hand with a "splash". He finally caught Stephen's foul, and the referee was willing to let it go so easily. He immediately gave Kobe Bryant two free throws. Fortunately, Kobe Bryant just stepped on the three-point line with one foot, otherwise it would be a three-way free throw opportunity.

Usually for the defender, the number of fouls is not too serious. Stephen and the foul just now only made two fouls, while Yao Ming and Kot Thomas in the inside have already made four fouls, Koopard three times, and Sergiy Baka also had three fouls in just over ten minutes of playing time.

Surprisingly, Kobe Bryant only hit one of his two free throws. After serving, Stephen took the ball and killed the basket again. Kobe Bryant and Odom advanced together with Stephen. In the intercepting attack of the two, Stephen suddenly passed the ball to Earl Watson at the bottom corner. Earl Watson jumped high against Derek Fisher's defense, hit a three-pointer, and the Supersonics finally overturned the score.
