Chapter 885 domineering
Milwaukee was called "Millowaukee" in the mouths of the Indians, which meant a beautiful land. It was originally a paradise for the Indians, but with the gradual arrival of Europeans, they went from fur trade with the Indians, then slowly established white settlements, and then developed to driving the Indians away from the land and becoming the owner of the land.
Because the climate here is a bit similar to that in Germany, in the period of continuous wars in Europe, many Germans immigrated to the American continent far away from the war in order to avoid the war, and the first choice was here, so it developed into a beer center in the United States. On the old streets, German-style houses can be seen everywhere, and even kindergartens here to all public schools must teach German.
Although it was the second game back-to-back game, Milwaukee no longer had the possibility of entering the playoffs, and it didn't matter whether it won or lost. Such a game naturally made people unable to get excited. Except for Charlie Villanueva, no one else played very passionately. The Supersonics also played slowly, but they firmly controlled the situation of the game and did not give the Bucks any chance.
For the purpose of training players, Kalesimo kept adjusting and rotating the lineup on the court in this game, so that more players could get the chance to play, especially for players who don’t have much chance to play. As long as Stephen is still on the court, other personnel changes will not have any major impact.
Du Fei performed very well in this game. Without much defensive pressure, his three-point skills can be fully demonstrated. Five of six shots is the answer he gave. In addition, Russell Westbrook and Jarret Jack also showed their impact to the extreme. Stephen did not score in this game, but tried to help his teammates as much as possible.

Because he didn't attack much, Stephen felt that his physical strength was not a problem, so he didn't get off the court. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the game entered garbage time. When Stephen left the court early, Caresimo handed over his statistics. Stephen saw at a glance his assist, and the figure twenty-two was written.
Looking at the front, eleven rebounds and twenty-nine points were just a triple-double, but there was more assists. There was nothing strange about it. Stephen returned the statistics to Caresimo. Caresimo smiled faintly. He thought Stephen would be happy when he saw this data, but he didn't expect that it was just this reaction. He thought Stephen kept assisting his teammates to break the record.
This record is Stephen's personal highest record, and it is also the highest assist record for the Seattle Supersonics. Even if you look at the entire league, only a few people can rank ahead of him.
Among the active players in the league, Jason Kidd is the holder of his highest assist record. At that time, he was still with the Dallas Mavericks, although now he is also with the Dallas Mavericks. In the game against the Utah Jazz, facing John Stockton, the record holder of the history of total assists, Kidd gave 25 assists in a single game. In addition to Jason Kidd, Jamal Tinsley of the Indiana Pacers once sent 23 assists, and then Steve Nash and Andre Miller. Their highest records were 22 times, tied with Stephen. Coincidentally, among the super star point guards, Chris Paul and Deron Williams had both 21 times.
Even though we trace back to ancient times, the highest record holder Skye only had only thirty times, then Stockton's twenty-eight times, twenty-seven times, twenty-six times, and then Magic Johnson and Nate McMillan's twenty-five times, but you should know that all these record holders are point guards, and there is not a single non-professional point guard. Stephen was the first to get such a high assist as a striker.
You should know that the assist data is not like scoring or rebounding. You hand over the ball to others to shoot, and it is your assist if others make it. No matter how good your condition is, it is useless. You must have a good feel from your teammates. To be able to get so many assists, it is not just one or two teammates who feel great.
In this game, Du Fei made five of six shots, Yao Ming made five of nine shots, and Durant made six of twelve shots. Although not all Stephen assisted, Russell Westbrook and Jarret Jack made many shots straight to Stephen, but they didn't just take the shots directly, and they couldn't count on Stephen's head. Otherwise, Stephen would have more assists.
After winning the Milwaukee Bucks with a 117-99-point victory, the Supersonics rushed to the next away game of Portland overnight. Although there was a day's rest time in the middle, Portland was not far from Seattle, but rather than wasting time on flight, it would be better to save time for players to rest. As for the extra hotel costs, is a team less than that, and the planes are not saved.
When I came to the Portland Trail Blazers, although the Supersonics drove them out of the playoff roster, the Portland Trail Blazers still provided the best training environment for the Supersonics. The fans here are quite friendly to the Supersonics, especially since the two places are relatively close, there are many fans here.
While the Supersonics were preparing for the game with peace of mind, the media was hyping Stephen's assist record. Now that the regular season is about to end, it is the time for major awards to be released. Stephen suddenly burst out with such a performance, and it was not the scoring he was best at, but the assist, which really made no one expect.
Although Stephen cannot win the assist king of the season, relying on this record, it is a very sharp counterattack against all those who accuse Stephen of being a single husband and being a cancer. Of course, not only that, this record also makes Stephen a powerful bargaining chip for the most valuable player of the regular season this season.
While the team has excellent record and excellent personal data, Stephen still makes his teammates better and have more performances. This is a very qualified team leader performance. After comparison, LeBron and James are much worse. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have now jumped to the number one in the East, there is still 2.5 wins away from the Supersonics. Even if the Supersonics lose all the last two games, they will not be able to win the league first. Needless to say, in the fight between each other, the Supersonics wins twice and sweeps the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The team's record is not as good as the SuperSonics, and LeBron James' personal data is also not as good as Stephen. Although he has increased his score this season, he is still a little far from Stephen. Although the number of rebounds and assists is not much different, blocks and steals are at a disadvantage.
As for the players in the back, it is even less threatening to Stephen. Although Kobe Bryant's team's record is equally excellent, his personal data is only one score that can be compared with Stephen and LeBron James. He has no strengths except this. Could it be that his combat status in the Lakers, LeBron James and Stephen are far behind? In terms of seniority, the most valuable players in the regular season do not pay attention to this.
Every player has his own goals and ideals. In comparison, LeBron James pays more attention to the championship, while Kobe Bryant and Stephen already have the championship ring in hand. Now they are fighting to lead a team to the championship alone. Stephen has won two championship rings, Kobe Bryant has won three championship rings, but Stephen has won two most valuable players in the finals, but Kobe Bryant has not one of them.
Among the three, Stephen was the first to win the most valuable player in the regular season, and was moving towards the second company, but LeBron and James had none of them yet. However, he was not too anxious about this because he was still young, but Kobe Bryant was a little anxious because they were obviously younger than themselves. They were at a disadvantage in time, and they had a prime time of at most four or five years, and they had just entered this time.
LeBron James wants to win the championship, while Kobe Bryant wants to win the championship and also win the most valuable player in the regular season. However, ahead of them, there is an insurmountable existence. Stephen does not have much urgent need for any award, but he does not want to let go of any award that can be won, such as the best rookie, the best sixth man, and the fastest-progress player. He will definitely miss the chance to get it, so let it go, but Stephen wants to win it.
In the game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Brandroy appeared in the stands. Fans were still very welcome to the arrival of the team's core, but Brandon Roy felt guilty, especially when he watched the team be defeated by the Supersonics in a nearly massacre manner.
In this game, Stephen still did not focus on his personal scores, and continued to pass the ball to his teammates as much as possible. His teammates did not disappoint his trust and used offense to repay him. While he scored 32 points in this game, he also sent fourteen assists, grabbed eleven rebounds, another triple-double, and four steals and three blocks, leading the team to defeat his opponent by 113 to 83.
