After Kobe Bryant left the court, the Los Angeles Lakers were no match for the Supersonics. At this time, Stephen also reduced his score, but the team's score was not affected, because Yao Ming and Kevin Durant were able to support the team's offense.

Especially Yao Ming, who was as unstoppable as the overlord of Western Chu at the basket, not only on the offense, but no one could limit his defense, but also on the defensive end, no one could break through his defense. Especially Andrew Bynum, who was always pushed out of the penalty area by Yao Ming and did not give him a chance to come in. Once he was away from the basket, Andrew Bynum's offensive ability was reduced by 90%, because he did not have the ability to shoot mid-range, and Paul Gasol also found no good opportunities under the defense of Cote Thomas.

But at this time, Shannon Brown, who replaced Kobe Bryant, suddenly broke out, rushed to the basket and dunked, scored from outside the three-point line, and Derek Fisher's consecutive three-point shooting, despite the SuperSonics' offense being so outstanding, it was still not enough to widen the gap.

Seeing Yao Ming breaking out of a bloody path under the attack of Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol, hitting the basket and dunking, Chinese fans were very pleased. Although some fans like Yao Ming to come to the Supersonics, some fans also do not agree with Yao Ming coming to join Stephen. In their opinion, Yao Ming should find another team to be the boss. Even if he is a tie-up boss like the Rockets, he is better than being the second-placed Supersonics.

It is believed by many Chinese people. They believe that even if you go to a small place to be the boss, it is better than to go to a big place to be a small person. In their opinion, even if Yao Ming came to the Supersonics team, no matter how good his achievements were, his own achievements were not his own. The results he had achieved were real. The president's deep love

These fans cannot be said to be unloved, but they are too extreme, or they are influenced by the idea of ​​personal interests at least too deeply. This idea is not conducive to team sports like basketball. If a player only cares about his own data or results, then no matter how capable he is, he cannot achieve too high achievements. Chinese people have poor performance in team sports like basketball and football. Although there are institutional reasons and some people have advantages, it has a lot to do with the players who only consider themselves most of the time.

You talk about the system reasons, women's basketball and women's football also belong to this system. Why did such achievements be achieved? This cannot be simply said that the competition in women's sports is not fierce. So there are so many countries in the world, why are other countries not successful? The main reason is that female athletes are not seriously infected by fame and fortune. Even if they are infected, their situation is not serious, and their thinking is simpler.

Competitive sports pay attention to technology and tactics, confrontation and collaboration, and will and mental state. It is precisely because they are influenced by multiple factors that they are so unpredictable and so attractive. This is the charm of competitive sports. If you like a player but don’t like the team he is in, and only hope that the players’ data is good, but not the team’s performance is high, then you are not a real fan.

However, as Yao Ming has maintained a high level in the Supersonics and his health has not deteriorated, Yao Ming is playing here and is becoming happier and happier. Many fans have gradually changed their minds and accepted the fact that Yao Ming is in the Supersonics. However, they have always had a regret in their hearts and want to see Yao Ming turn the tide and save the team from danger. However, in the Supersonics, the only one who can perform this plot is Stephen, and gradually, they all gave up.

Today, on such an important stage as the division final, when facing the top inside strength of the Los Angeles Lakers league, Yao Ming was still able to play so domineering and unstoppable, which made these fans feel deeply happy. This is the Yao Ming they want to see. They are already satisfied to see Yao Ming perform like this.

In fact, Yao Ming himself was not willing to give up, but reason told him that he was no longer young and his health was not as good as before. He did not have so much time to wait for the Rockets. Choosing a successful team and winning the championship is not only a recognition of his career, but also a way to leave no regrets. Moreover, his business value will not be affected too much. It is precisely for many reasons that Yao Ming chose the Supersonics.

And the reason he convinced himself was the success he achieved when Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen arrived at the Boston Celtics. Although the data had dropped, they became the hottest team in the league in one fell swoop, and their appearance rate did not drop much. After coming to the Supersonics, the team's performance was so good that Yao Ming couldn't believe it. At the same time, his personal data did not drop much, which also made Yao Ming very happy. In the best lineup evaluation, being able to enter the second best lineup also made Yao Ming very happy, which represents the entire league's affirmation of himself.

Moreover, when he came to the Supersonics, the pressure was greatly reduced, and the media's pursuit of himself dropped to a higher level, which made Yao Ming feel very relaxed. Although he would feel a little lost occasionally, Yao Ming was very relaxed most of the time. He felt that the basketball he played now was the basketball he wanted. It was in this relaxed and stable mentality that Yao Ming's body recovered so well and his injuries did not recur.

A healthy body is the prerequisite for performance. After a season, in addition to making Yao Ming more familiar with this team, he also makes him more comfortable in mastering this body. Although his body has lost weight and increased its flexibility, it has not reduced much of his ability to fight. Facing Andrew Bynum, whose weight is not much worse than himself, Yao Ming can bully him like this purely because of his strength.

Yao Ming is still raging in the inside. After Andrew Bynum was hit many times, he was a little afraid to go to the basket to fight Yao Ming. You know, in comparison, although Yao Ming was troubled by injuries, he was not as serious as Andrew Bynum. Moreover, his injury was a knee injury, which had a great psychological impact on the players.

Because of his tactical importance, Paul Gasol has not had a rest since the beginning of the game, which has indeed affected his performance. In addition, his performance has always been very soft, and he looks weak on the court and is not active at all. At this time, Phil Jackson made up his mind and replaced Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol with two people, Lamar Odom and Djm Benga.

It does take a lot of courage to make such a choice, because compared to the previous two, these two are relatively low in height and have poor strength.

However, this lineup has achieved certain results, because the two of them are faster and are much more flexible than Yao Ming. Although they can't stand Yao Ming, they can harass Yao Ming from the side. On the offensive end, they don't fight against Yao Ming head-on, and they both shoot outside. Yao Ming's weakness of not being able to defend himself was exposed.

Kot Thomas alone could not defend them at all, and Kot Thomas and Yao Ming were both exhausted. Calesimo replaced Yao Ming with Cooperd, and then after a while, Sergii Bryant replaced Kot Thomas. At this time, Kobe Bryant had enough rest and took the initiative to ask Phil Jackson to return to the court, because the Los Angeles Lakers were already 17 points behind the Supersonics. If they didn't hurry up and chase the score, it would be too late to reach the fourth quarter.

Kobe Bryant also had an idea that he had rested so much on the court, but Stephen remained on the court and could not rest, so he naturally took advantage of his physical strength. Kobe Bryant felt that he had a certain advantage, but as soon as he came on the court, Stephen started to take action. Although he missed the first shot, Sergii Baka protected the rebound. Then Stephen continued to take action, but still did not make a move. The rebound was snatched by Cooper. The Lakers sent two small insiders and the consequences of the Lakers showing two small insiders began to show, and the protection of the rebounding team was extremely poor.

After handing it to Stephen for the third time, Stephen stopped shooting and accelerated directly, got rid of Trevo Ariza's defense, and then killed the basket. Lamar Odom was about to come to block Stephen, and Stephen took the air and rushed towards the basket. Although Lamar Odom jumped up to block Stephen, his body leaned back as much as possible, trying to avoid Stephen.

Stephen dunked the ball into the basket heavily, increasing his personal score to fifty-five points. At this time, Kobe Bryant's personal score was only thirty-four points, which was 21 points away from Stephen.

After dunking the basket, Stephen began to retreat, so he naturally had direct response to Kobe Bryant. When he ran to Kobe Bryant, Stephen said directly: "I'm just waiting for you to come up, I don't have any interest in scoring without an opponent."

Kobe Bryant's face suddenly turned dark. Of course, with his skin color, no one saw it even if he was dark. He suppressed his anger. Kobe Bryant didn't want to confront Stephen in words because he knew he didn't take advantage, and only if he was ahead of this kind of trash talk was powerful, just like Michael Jordan said to Gary Payton, "My Ferrari was given to me," or "Come on, you almost guarded me." The president's deep love

These words are only useful if you say them when you are leading. It is conceivable that if Michael Jordan was extremely defensive by Gary Payton, what would he say about these trash words? They would only make him laugh at him. So in the face of Stephen's witty words, Kobe Bryant really had nothing to say, so he had to curl his lips and run away, ignoring Stephen.

After taking the ball from Derek Fisher's hand, Kobe Bryant jumped up without stopping, turned around in the air, from diagonally facing the basket to facing the basket, suddenly folded his waist and abdomen, and his upper half fell backwards, and almost half of his body was thrown out. Such a shot made Stephen very helpless, and he couldn't do this by himself, and he almost dismantled his body.

Kobe Bryant's waist and abdomen are very outstanding. He often allows him to make many incredible moves, and he can still maintain balance in the air. Only when the body is balanced can your moves be stable. Many players deliberately hit the defensive players when shooting. This is also a way to find balance. If you let him not hit someone, he will not be able to shoot in the same way.

Kobe Bryant's shooting flew into the basket very smoothly. At this time, Kobe Bryant responded to Stephen's provocation just now. He glanced at Stephen coldly, then snorted coldly. Stephen still had a smile on his face, but after coming back, Stephen dribbled continuously, passed Trevor Ariza, and then deliberately retreated to find Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant didn't want to waste his energy on defense Stephen, but Stephen insisted on coming over to let him defend, and he had to defend. However, after Stephen squeezed him away, he did not rush to shoot, but retreated and entangled with Kobe Bryant. At this time, Trevor Ariza also came. Stephen waited until the two of them formed a siege before continuing to exert force to drive them away and then shot.

This time, there was no need to wait for the second or third time. Stephen directly threw the ball in. Although Kobe Bryant's goal just now was a three-pointer, the score difference was still not narrowed, but was expanded again.

Kobe Bryant didn't even wait for Derek Fisher to dribble before handing the ball to himself, and directly controlled the ball through the half. Then, with the cover of Lamar Odom, he got rid of Stephen, and stopped by himself and changed direction and bypassed Sergii Baka and rushed straight to the basket, dunking before Coupard could make up.

Back, Stephen continued to shoot, but missed again, but Sergiy Ibaka grabbed the frontcourt rebound again. Phil Jackson frowned when he saw it below. No, the disadvantage on the rebound is too obvious. Even if the opponent misses the shot, he can grab the rebound and then shoot. If he can't make a shot on his own, no one will grab the rebound. No, this situation must be changed. Looking back, I will look at Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol. Which one should be replaced by them?

Lamar Odom performed well on the above, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. If Lamar Odom did not have the problem of being inattention easily, he was actually a very outstanding player. Unfortunately, he was easily distracted on the court and could not play the starting lineup. However, his performance today was very good, which made Phil Jackson a little reluctant to replace him.

So who will be replaced by Andrew Bynum or Paul Gasol? Phil Jackson looked at it. Although both of them have better ability to protect rebounds, Paul Gasol looks obviously tired, and Lamar Odom can also play his role on the court, so it's better to replace Andrew Bynum.

After Andrew Bynum went up, it did have a certain effect. When Kobe Bryant missed the shot, he jumped up and grabbed the rebound. However, he did not give it to Kobe Bryant anymore, but jumped up and prepared to take action. As a result, he annoyed Coupard. He was very angry when he grabbed the rebound. He wanted to take action in front of Coupard, but was blocked by Coupard. When he covered it, Coupard's hand swept into Andrew Bynum's face, but the referee turned a blind eye. Andrew Bynum was very angry and wanted to provoke Coupard. Coupard was willing to suffer this loss, so he straightened his waist and raised his belly and pushed up. The referee hurried over to separate the two of them.

However, the referee did not give anyone a foul or a technical foul. Although Andrew Bynum was the party who took the initiative to challenge the trouble, this is the home court of the Lakers after all, and for the sake of the smoothness of the game, it is not advisable to pursue anything.

The game started again, and the ball came to the Supersonics. After Stephen got the ball, he did not rush to shoot, but kept conducting the ball, and at the same time he kept in and out of the Lakers' basket. Finally, he found the opportunity and threw the ball high above the basket. A tall figure next to him soared into the sky and grabbed the ball with both hands, and dunked it into the basket heavily.

Even the strong basketball rights made an ugly squeak. Cooperd's aerial relay dunk was too hard. Although it could not reach the level of slamming the basket, it was obvious that the basketball stand was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, after the staff measured it, the height of the basket was not changed, and the ball stand could still be used, but the staff probably could barely maintain it until the end of the game, and the basketball stand would have to be replaced later.

Stephen and Cooper naturally don’t care about that. Anyway, this is not the home court of the Supersonics. The cost of replacing facilities is borne by the home team. The Lakers are rich and powerful, so what are you afraid of if you pay more? The broadcasting fee income of the Lakers and the Knicks is the highest in the league. Otherwise, the two teams would not be as rich as this. Of course, the Lakers are better than the Knicks because their record is much better, otherwise they will have a reputation of being extravagant.

Even if the team is so bad, the Knicks' attendance rate, billboard income, and related commodity income are all at the forefront of the league. This is the advantage of big cities. The sufficient population and a wealthy fan group make them live a very easy life. For teams like the San Antonio Spurs, they must be careful and maintain their record and cannot decline, otherwise they will only lose money. With the wealth of their boss Holt, how many years can they lose?

Fortunately, the Supersonics have now changed to a rich boss. Even in the current economic crisis, Microsoft's revenue is still very high, and fans have recovered their confidence in this team. The Supersonics have grown from the downstream of the league to the middle of the league in various revenues, and there is still a big gap from the Lakers.
