After a tough struggle, the Spurs finally won this Christmas-named dialogue, 86 to 85, a one-point margin, such a low score, such a long game, such an ugly scene, and only Detroit Only the two cities of San Antonio and San Antonio can accept this style of play. Fans in other cities have long risen to oppose it.

Of course, if they can win every day like these two teams, then the Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Hornets, and Toronto Raptors would rather watch ugly games every day than watch their teams being abused every day , This is the same person with different fate.

Some teams would rather lose than give up their own style, while some teams only win. In this Christmas game, Stephen has become a complete spoiler, which is the x factor of this game. If it is not for Stephen A strong appearance, with the Spurs' eight-point scoring performance in the first quarter, it is definitely not the opponent of the Pistons.

Victory can cover up many problems. Once the defeat, contradictions will follow. As soon as the Christmas game ended, Ben Wallace came to question the lack of command ability of head coach Saunders, and Saunders once again exposed He pointed out that he was not good at getting along with players. Faced with doubts, the two openly fought in the media.

But this has nothing to do with the Spurs. After the Spurs defeated the Pistons, they left Detroit and returned to San Antonio with peace of mind to prepare for the last two games of the year. At the same time, Popovich designed a lineup in his heart.

Because Popovich has absolute authority in the Spurs, no matter how unruly a player is, he dare not show his wings in front of him, so he dares to adjust the lineup and design tactics as he pleases, so that whoever plays more It is simply impossible to play for as long as you want for a long time, play whatever position you want, and switch to other teams or other players.

He asked Ginobili to play as a substitute in one sentence, and Ginobili went there happily, because he knew that it was because the coach considered that his health was not very good, and it was also to protect himself, and it was not Popovich. Hand-picked or trained players, there are so good to talk about.

And Bruce Bowen, Popovich told him to stay in the bench lineup, he had to go to the bench lineup, told him to come back, he had to come back, this is Popovich's management ability, because he Knowing that Bruce Bowen would gladly accept such an arrangement.

Otherwise, even if it is his words, the players dare not not listen to them, but if they go on with their temper, there can still be good players there. Although the team atmosphere of the Spurs may not be the best in the league, it is definitely one of the best. No one would do anything because their stats or shooting rights were influenced by others. Of course, this refers to the main players. What did those guarding the drinking fountains think?

Back in San Antonio, only rested for one day. Stephen used this day to move his few pieces of luggage to his new house. After all, the house has been bought, and it would be a waste not to live in it. When Stephen drove over , saw a white young man in his 30s or [-]s wandering around the door of his house, saw himself passing by, took a look and then left.

Stephen didn't care about it either. He had learned about it when he bought the house. The law and order here has always been good, and there are no criminals haunting here, and judging by the other party's appearance, although he is not dressed properly, he doesn't look like a street gangster.

After setting things up, Stephen carefully turned around in the house. There is no need to look at the basement. San Antonio used to be an agricultural city, and the basement was used to store farm tools or farm machinery. Even cars can be driven down. It's just not convenient to go in and out, and a tradition has gradually formed. Although these things are no longer placed, sundries and other things can still be placed, so Stephen simply didn't go down.

On both sides of the entrance hallway is the kitchen, and on the other side is the dining room. There is also a pair of Chinese-style porcelain vases in the dining room. Stephen turned it over curiously and saw that there was an inscription "Made in Daoguang Year of the Qing Dynasty" at the bottom. If this is true If it is, it should be worth some money, and Stephen didn't care about it. The furniture and electrical appliances are all available here, and you can use it without Stephen buying anything. However, Stephen is not used to cooking by himself, mainly because he doesn't have the time.

There is a living room in the middle of the house. The living room is very simple. It is estimated that the Crusons do not often meet here. Surrounding the living room are two rooms and a study room, and the other corner is the bathroom and toilet.

Compared with the house of Aunt Stephen's, this house is naturally much worse, but after all, it is Stephen's first property earned by his own efforts. Stephen looked back and forth for a while, and he is still very satisfied with this house. A hostess, Stephen sat on the couch, looked at the empty house and suddenly thought, involuntarily, a beautiful and moving figure appeared in his mind, not Pandina, nor Alice, but Catherine.

Stephen lay on the bed and was still scratching his head, thinking, although this Catherine is also very beautiful, but the two of them have only met so twice, why did I think of him, strange, could it be that he was in contact with Alice recently There are fewer, a little bit of a bug on the brain?

As for thinking about Catherine, that's perfectly normal. Among these women, Catherine is the closest to her. Pandinia herself doesn't know where she is now, and the relationship between the two is also the strangest. Although Liz's relationship is the closest, it's only a physical relationship. It's more accurate to say it's a friend with benefits. Stephen's body is strong enough to satisfy Alice, and it doesn't take much to have a relationship with Stephen. Worried about being blackmailed by the post-event video, the words of coming here to spend the spring night together are secret enough. Apart from the same agency and the co-production of an advertisement, the two of them have almost no intersection, and the media will naturally not pay attention to this.

For Stephen, Alice just waits for a piece of fat that is delivered to her door, is it worth it or not? Anyway, Stephen is not a sage and gentleman, and it is impossible for a beautiful starlet to come to his door not to play, and he has no conscience. , and don’t have to be responsible for anything, as long as they have fun with each other.

So Stephen has no restraint on Alice. Even if he misses her, he has to see if she has time. Of course, even if Alice misses him, if he is playing away, he won't Flying back like last time, both of them have their own careers, it's really not easy to meet once, it depends on chance, so Stephen rarely takes the initiative to think about Alice, and it's useless to think about it.

There are a few beauties in the cheerleading team who often send invitations to Stephen, but if you look closely, they are all pretty average-looking, and they have heavy makeup, which is very disliked by Stephen, so Stephen has always directly refused their invitations. In comparison, Catherine is much more beautiful, and she is youthful, beautiful, gentle and generous. At first glance, she is the kind of beautiful woman with a well-educated temperament.

Stephen quickly put this problem behind him. There is still a game tomorrow, so let’s take a good rest to cope with tomorrow’s game. In the game against the Pistons, at the end of the game, Stephen also suffered from exhaustion, but only Stephen himself I know, so Stephen is also starting to pay attention to practicing his physical fitness now.

Stephen soon fell into a deep sleep. This is also the consciousness of a professional player. If you are always disturbed by these unexpected emotions, how can you rest well? It's no surprise that live dragons and tigers generally appear on the training ground.

Training in the morning and rest in the afternoon. At [-]:[-] in the evening, the players entered the stadium ahead of time to warm up. At this time, the visiting team also came to the stadium to warm up, and the fans began to enter the stadium one after another. Due to the approach of the New Year, the attendance rate was already high. The sbc center was overwhelmed by the swarming fans.

Today's opponent is the Indiana Pacers, and there is also Granger, an old acquaintance of Stephen's, during the warm-up, Granger came over to chat with Stephen, full of envy for Stephen's leading the best rookie, He knows that with his current situation, it is impossible to win this award. It is not a matter of ability, but his status in the team. With Artest and Stephen Jackson, he will never be able to start.

Everyone has their own destiny. After Stephen entered the Spurs as a second-round pick, no one was optimistic that Stephen could survive in the fiercely competitive and highly tactical Spurs. Who would have thought that Stephen would be a second-round pick? The status of competing for the crown of the best rookie yet.

And Granger is pretty good among this year's rookies. Among the first-round rookies, there are still several who can't play. Granger at least has a stable playing time in the Pacers. The future is also very important, and he has formulated a long-term training plan for him.

From Granger's mouth, Stephen knew the news that Artest, Stephen's biggest opponent, would not play in this game. However, it was not good news for Granger. The coach had decided to replace Stephen Jackson with At the small forward position, Granger is still a substitute.

According to Popovich's arrangement, Stephen was supposed to defend Artest in this game. Since Artest is not playing, Bruce Bowen will start to defend Stephen Jackson. Stephen's responsibility is to lead the bench to continue to grab points. , After returning to the home court, Ginobili's injury has eased, but just to be on the safe side, Popovich still decided to let him rest more, and at most play to adapt.

After all, the Spurs have just had a tough fight, and they are all old. They are incomparable with the Pacers in their prime of life. In addition, the comeback O'Neal played very strongly. leading until the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Stephen led the substitute lineup to launch a counterattack. What he was fighting against the Pacers was that you can come and go. In the second half of the second quarter, when the Pacers changed their lineup and the morale of the main players who had not finished the game declined. , Stephen immediately played a wave of [-]-[-] spurt. After Granger hit two consecutive three-pointers after playing, it was considered that the situation of the Pacers was slightly stabilized.

In the third quarter, although the Spurs did not play very well offensively, they allowed the Pacers to score fewer points through defense. Finally, through four quarters of hard work, they successfully won the game.
