After defeating the Washington Wizards, the Seattle Supersonics achieved a record of three wins and one loss in the subsequent games, with two consecutive away back-to-back schedules, and only one day was apart. By the last game against the Denver Nuggets, the Supersonics were clearly showing signs of fatigue, which was Stephen. Although he did not seem to be significantly affected by the away back-to-back, his feel decreased and he eventually lost to the Denver Nuggets by a 7-point gap.

The Denver Nuggets once again acted as the nemesis of the Supersonics, limiting the Supersonics' winning streak to six consecutive victories. In this game, although Billups is not the player with the highest score, he is the most effective player in tactics. It feels like Billups comes to the West like he wants to go against the Supersonics. He is not so powerful when he is in the Detroit Pistons. He is also a super point guard. Facing Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, and Chris Paul, he did not make the Supersonics so uncomfortable.

Then, one day later, the Supersonics came to Phoenix to challenge the Suns. The continuous away games and continuous flights really made the players feel tired. In this game, Kalesimo only let Yao Ming play for more than ten minutes. When Coupard mainly appeared in the center position, the power forward encountered the problem of insufficient manpower.

Cooper used all his strength to entangle with the big shark O'Neal. Facing the extremely active Amarestoud Michael, Kot Thomas couldn't bear it after a while and was exhausted and panting. Kalesimo had to replace Kot Thomas and replace Sergiy Ibaka. Who knew that Sergiy Ibaka contributed three fouls in less than two minutes of playing, one on the big shark O'Neal, and two on Amarestoud Meier.

Please replace him. Cote Thomas has just left the court and hasn't had enough rest. If you don't change him, you can tell that he can't stay on the court for long, but fortunately there is a Channingfrey sitting on the bench. Although Carlesimo doesn't trust him, he can only count on him at this time.

Fortunately, after Channing Fry came on the court, although he didn't say that he had a good defense, he could barely say that he was in place. However, at this time, the Suns suddenly replaced Steve Nash and replaced Golandragic, which caused great trouble to the Supersonics.

Earl Watson originally had a good defense against Steve Nash, but Golandradragic, known as "Little Nash", successfully broke through him continuously as soon as he came on the court. Golandradragic was not fast and his movements were not particularly weird, but he simply got rid of Earl Watson.

Moreover, as long as this guy got rid of Earl Watson, he immediately shot without waiting for the others to make up. He took every opportunity to shoot very well, and he didn't give the Supersonics any chance.

I don’t know where this guy came out. I’ve never seen him as powerful as that before. However, Leon Barbosa, nicknamed “Brazil Lightning”, did not perform much in this game.

Seeing that something went wrong here in Earl Waterson, Kalesimo didn't let Russell Westbrook come up and try it out, and sent Jarret Jack directly. Compared with Jarret Jack, Russell Westbrook had no problems in other aspects, but the gap in defense was a bit big.

Sure enough, after Jaletjake came on the court, although not completely limiting Golandradzic's performance, at least it makes his scoring not that easy. However, the inside disadvantages are still relatively obvious. When Kalesimo formulated the game strategy before the game, he had already limited Yao Ming's playing time. Now he is making him go back on his word, which is indeed a bit embarrassing. The inside disadvantages are indeed quite obvious. What should I do?

But don't worry, Stephen soon helped him solve this problem. Stephen rushed to the basket many times, and finally got the effect, knocking O'Neal off the court, and only one Amarestoudmire was left, he was alone and it began to struggle to deal with the SuperSonics' inside lineup.

Especially after O'Neal left the court, no one in the Suns could defend Coupard. Knowing that Yao Ming would not play today, the team's inside line was only self. If there was a problem with his own side or his poor performance caused failure, the boss's anger was not easy to bear, and Coupard performed particularly hard.

By the end of the first half, the SuperSonics' lead had reached seven points, but as Steve Nash returned to the court, he first made a three-pointer from the outside, and then scored a fast break layup after Grant Hill completed a steal from Kevin Durant, narrowing the gap to two points in one fell swoop.

In the second half, even if Stephen stayed off the court, the Suns had no choice but to face the Supersonics, especially now that the Suns are no longer the original Suns with an offensive as they were. After joining the Big Shark O'Neal and giving up many teams, the Suns' offense is no longer as terrifying as before.

Looking at Steve Nash's thirty-four-year-old still galloping on the court. Although he won two regular season MVPs with the Phoenix Suns, the Suns owe him a championship.

If Amarestoudmire was not injured so much, if the Suns kept Joe Johnson and did not send Quentin Richardson away, they would strengthen their team with this lineup as a structure, and it would be fine to win the championship, and they would not miss the championship several times as they are now.

Stephen forgot that the Spurs kept the Suns out of the goal in those two years, and once they used a disgraceful method. The culprit is now sitting on the bench of the Supersonics. Stephen is just for Steve Nash.

The Suns are also a very stingy team, almost no different from the Rockets. The red line of luxury tax cannot be exceeded no matter what. Even if the championship is right in front of you, such a team really has no great hope.

But it's a pity that it's a pity that you should win, and as the team behind begins to make efforts, the Boston Celtics, ranked first in the East, is close to the Seattle Supersonics in record, while the Los Angeles Lakers, ranked second in the West, are only four wins away from the Supersonics.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the Supersonics successfully defeated the Suns in the end. Stephen's strong performance in the second half was the main reason why the Supersonics won the game. The performance of other players was weak. After all, it was not so easy to survive in five consecutive away games.

After returning to Seattle, he only had a day off. Before he could get off the adaptive period, he was challenged by the San Antonio Spurs. Although the Spurs are still ranked fourth in the Western Conference, their record has begun to gradually catch up. Especially after Ginobili returned to the team due to injury, the Spurs performed better and better.
