Chapter 113



Stephen still seemed to be unaware, and insisted on training every day. After listening to Engelland's words, Stephen re-intensified the training in the basic direction. Relieve Stephen to play well, as long as he continues his previous performance on the court, caa company has enough strength to influence the national media, and ensure that the best rookie will not be left behind by others.

Because the votes for the best rookie are voted by sports journalists in the United States and Canada, but sports journalists cannot be completely independent. There are media organizations on top of them, and companies that control media organizations. CAA companies just haven’t had time yet. Exercising your own influence is not really incapable of influencing them.

It may be impossible for them to support Stephen against their will or against the facts, but it is no problem to let them vote on a fair basis. It depends on how Stephen performs on the field. Called to persuade Stephen, even Stephen's aunt Shi Xianghua also called Stephen specifically, Stephen instead advised her to come to San Antonio to recuperate for a while, the climate and scenery here are incomparable in Los Angeles, and he also bought a new house, Shi Xianghua Tell him you'll come and see him when you get a chance.

Even Stephen's mailbox, which he hadn't opened for a long time, showed a letter with only a short sentence: "I believe in you, you are the most popular." The email address is not the one Johnny gave him, but the style of the email is However, it was very similar to Johnny's character of cherishing words like gold. Stephen sent back an email according to that address, but there was no response.

Stephen was moved by everyone's concern. Facing such overwhelming doubts, although Stephen was calm on the face, his heart was full of anger. If we say that Stephen did not have much confidence in this best rookie at the beginning, but Now Stephen is no longer the rookie who just entered the league. Not to mention defense, but offense. Stephen is confident that he is also at the upper-middle level in the league. The offensive method is relatively monotonous. It depends on who you compare with. The big players in the league Most players are only good at one offensive method, or not good at even one.

However, in the face of doubts from the media, the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. Everything must be spoken through your performance on the court. It is normal for you to be questioned if your performance is not good. Play to hit them back, hit them hard with the performance on the court.

So in another battle for the best rookie, Stephen was ahead of Bogut, the rookie No. Although the defense is tough, the defensive skills are not very good. Doesn't this kind of team just give Stephen a chance to play? On Bogut's head, Stephen scored 26 points, and caused a big blow before the fourth quarter started. Bogut was fouled six times and sent Bogut back to the locker room.

At the same time, Stephen also had a record [-] rebounds and three blocked shots. The blocked shots were very average, just covering each of the three giants of Reid, Mo Williams, and the Bogus Bucks. Because in this game, Stephen played the role of offensive finisher most of the time, so Stephen didn't have any offense.

Popovich also wanted to help Stephen regain his confidence. In this game, he gave Stephen a lot of shots. The media questioned Stephen was tantamount to questioning his vision. In addition, his usual style is to fight against the media, so Stephen The playing time can be as high as 31 minutes.

Regarding Stephen's strong performance, experts and reporters agreed that it is normal to get high scores against a defense like the Bucks, and it is not normal to not get high scores, unless Stephen is facing a strong defensive team. Only by scoring high points and no longer focusing on monotonous basket offense can Stephen break the rookie wall.

At this time, no one mentions that Stephen has no offensive ability anymore, and the tone has become a rookie wall. It just so happens that the Spurs' next opponent is an away game against the Miami Heat, and it will be the Heat after O'Neill's comeback. Everyone said , as long as Stephen can score more than [-] points in this game, it can basically prove that Stephen has broken the rookie wall.

Shit, Stephen almost didn't scold when he read such an argument. The defense of the Miami Heat is second only to the Pistons in the East. It's scary, who dares to deny the deterrent power of the fat man inside.

What's more, there is James Posey in the opponent's lineup who is also a first-class perimeter defensive player in the league. If you say that you have the ability to score [-] points, but if you want to guarantee that you can score [-] points, no one can guarantee this. You don't have the touch to attack from the outside, and the referee doesn't call the opponent a foul when you attack from the inside. How can you score [-] points?

Therefore, it is absurd to characterize a player in a game, but Stephen still did not respond. He followed the team to Miami and surprised many people with his performance on the field. In the second quarter, Stephen took At [-] points, all of them were jump shots with an emergency stop outside the penalty area, and the jump shots with a high release point, the shooting percentage was [-] out of [-] shots.

The Heat did not expect this guy to use such an offensive method at the beginning. In the last game, Stephen kept hitting the basket, so the Heat had already prepared a hot pot meal for him in the interior in this game, because the last game It can be said that the Heat almost lost in the hands of Stephen alone. They were completely unprepared for Stephen's sudden rise. This game specially strengthened the defense according to Stephen's characteristics. means of attack.

This position happens to be the weak point of the Heat's defense. The inside defenders dare not defend, and the outside defenders can't get in. Although the jump shot in this position is easy to be blocked, Stephen's shot point makes up for this problem. The Spurs It was because of Stephen's performance in the second quarter that the Spurs were ahead of the Heat, because after O'Neal came back, the Spurs had no advantage in the interior. Neither Duncan nor O'Neal could defend the other, so the two had to compete with each other. The free throws after a foul, unfortunately, the difference between the two free throws is very different, basically fluctuating around [-]%.

In the third quarter, the Heat replaced Haslem, who was more flexible, and when he was used to defend Stephen's offense, Stephen changed again, from a jumper to a thrower, although he hit The rate has dropped, but Stephen still scored six points and eighteen points. When Stephen saw Bruce Bowen standing on the technical table, it happened to cause a foul by Haslem. The referee gave Stephen two free throws Chance.

Stephen made the first free throw in the local area steadily, using the inverted toilet free throw method. Stephen's free throw percentage has always been above 40.00%, although it can't be compared with Rick Barry's [-]%, it can be regarded as a normal shooting percentage, but if this method is not used In the free throw method, Stephen's free throw percentage is only more than [-]%, which is comparable to Duncan and O'Neal. As a result, when it came to the second free throw, Stephen suddenly changed back to his normal free throw posture, and he missed the free throw.

When Stephen was replaced, he still had [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists. Stephen walked off the field satisfied. Popovich originally wanted to comfort him, telling him not to take the words of the media to heart. , but he didn't say anything after seeing Stephen's normal appearance. He is indeed a very reassuring player, and his psychological achievements are far greater than his age.

It would be false to say that Stephen is not in a hurry, but is the difference of one point important?Could it be that I worked so hard to grab the shot to get this point, but offended my teammates and offended the coach? Considering this, the team's victory is more important.

Sure enough, even if Stephen scored [-] points and did not meet their requirements, none of the media made a fuss about it, because if you emphasize the difference between [-] points and [-] points, it will only make readers disgusted, and Stephen's [-] points The appearance of the second free throw was more like a deliberate miss, and this behavior made them feel like they were eating flies.

Before they could find another way to attack, Stephen shined in the home game against the Denver Nuggets. This game was originally very ordinary, but before the game, it was suddenly reported that the Spurs Ginobili, Brent Barry The news of the absence of the three generals, Robert Horry, if the news is true, means that the Spurs' league-leading bench lineup has been reduced by more than half, leaving only Van Exeker and Stephen.

With all the other three replaced, Stephen strengthened his cooperation with Van Exel. After the start, he kicked off the attack with an alley-oop, and then Stephen seemed unstoppable, shooting from the outside, Breakthrough layups, empty cut dunks, dunks from the basket, all kinds of offensive methods frequently appeared in Stephen's hands.

Moreover, when he was attacking himself, Stephen defended Anthony without scoring a point in the first half of the quarter. He only scored four points through free throws at the end of the second quarter. In the second half, facing the Nuggets' full bench lineup, Stephen's game was even more impressive, and he quickly increased his score to 25 points, and then broke through 28 points. When Stephen scored [-] points, he was replaced by Popovich.

After the game, all doubts about Stephen disappeared. No matter what team you face in the league, it will not be an ordinary person who can score [-] points, let alone basically every game in the [-]s. In this game, Stephen was also named the best player in the game. When interviewed after the game, facing the host's question, Stephen smiled lightly, and said calmly into the microphone: "I Whether he has offensive ability, whether he is good enough to compete for the best rookie, everything has to be decided on the court, and there is no need to refute it off the court.”
