Seeing Stephen's innocent face, Artest was so angry that he was bullied by a brat who had a bad reputation, and he would be laughed at if he said it, but when he got up , Stephen had already run away, and since both of them were off-ball players, the referee didn't blow his whistle when this happened, and the game continued.

Stephen's defensive matchup was Granger, but after Artest got angry, he had to face Stephen every time he attacked. Popovich immediately instructed him to switch defensive positions with Ginobili, so that He confronted Artest directly.

"Boy, you are so courageous, I will blow you up and blow your shit out." When Artest saw Stephen standing in front of him, instead of needing to find him like before, Artest immediately He laughed happily while licking his lower lip with his tongue, looking bloodthirsty.

"I don't think you have this ability. If you have this ability, why haven't I heard of your name?" Stephen was not to be outdone, and immediately took over and said, seeing a rookie dare to be like Artest The guy bickered, and everyone else was sweating for Stephen.

"Really, let's try." Artest is indeed famous for his defense, but in the past two years, his offensive ability has also made great progress. Just last season, he has reached an average of 24 points per game. He became the team's second scorer, so when he heard Stephen laughing at his offensive ability, he immediately became furious. At the same time, he moved his feet and squeezed hard towards Stephen's left side, trying to use his strength to force Stephen.

Although Stephen tried his best to push back Artest, he was forced into the restricted area by him. Before Duncan could help him, Artest hit a mid-range shot and turned around to grin at Stephen. He took a big stride and ran back to his own half like he had a hernia.

"It's nothing, you've done better." Duncan saw Stephen standing there without moving for a while, came over and touched Stephen's head affectionately, and comforted Stephen, but he didn't know that Stephen It's not that I'm depressed because of the breakthrough, but I thought of myself through Artest's offensive method. Although I can't go in and shoot like him, I can take two steps forward and then dunk. As long as my speed increases, Who can stop them, even the opponent's inside players, as long as they are not like O'Neill or Yao Ming, Stephen is confident that he will not suffer too much in the confrontation.

Stephen was running backwards while thinking, I can't have no offensive ability at all, then I wasted a position on the field, at least you must have a certain offensive ability, the head coach will give you tactics according to your characteristics Arrange the role, and then you have to try it yourself.

Just becoming Stephen, Artest's effort seems to have been vented a bit. On the defensive end, he no longer targets Stephen. With Stephen's offensive ability, it would be a waste for him, the best defensive player, to go up, so he still According to the coach's arrangement, he went to defend Ginobili and left Stephen to Granger.

Ginobili held the ball in his hands, and was about to call someone to come over to pick and roll for him, when he suddenly saw Stephen secretly making a gesture for the ball, and immediately moved in his heart, after making a fake move to break through, Immediately a ground pass passed the ball to Stephen.

After Stephen received the ball, he immediately turned around halfway, just blocking Granger behind him. In this case, Granger lost his defensive position. In front of Stephen was a road leading to the inside. Stephen immediately took a big step, The two inside players of the Pacers are entangled with Duncan. Even if they want to come here, they are powerless, not to mention that Duncan is still blocking them for Stephen.

One step, two steps, Stephen only took two steps, and he reached the edge of the penalty area. Stephen was about to take off for a slam dunk, but Granger pulled him down abruptly from behind. Lan Jie happened to be a little early, otherwise, when Stephen got up, it would be too late for a foul.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded two free throws to Stephen. Stephen walked to the free throw line with a grimace, and was about to use the toilet-style free throw method, but after he used this free throw method, people always said that he, It's better to use your own posture, but it's a pity that the free throw from such a free throw posture directly hit the backboard without even touching the basket, and the entire court immediately burst into laughter.

"I finally met a guy who is even more unreliable in free throws than Shaquille O'Neal. Hasn't this kid practiced free throws? Or is it that he only has strength and can't shoot at all." Even the broadcast booth was full of laughter , but the story about Stephen's free throw has spread throughout the sports media world, but no one bets on it anymore, and no one imagines that Steve would run naked in front of the audience in the entire stadium.

"Don't you know how to make free throws like that, just use that." Van Exel came over and patted Stephen's ass, and muttered behind him. Stephen saw Brent Barry from the corner of his eyes. On the bench, he also made the gesture of carrying the toilet to himself.

At the time of the second free throw, Stephen really made such a gesture, and now more people laughed. Although it was a preseason game, the TV station broadcasting it was still quite powerful, and immediately showed Stephen's ncaa finals on the big screen. The video of using this trick on the court also showed Rick Barry's posture back then, and experts were evaluating it.

But even with this method, Stephen's free throw still didn't make a free throw, and now there are more people laughing. Artest sneered in Stephen's ear: "Even if it is a god's move, it can't save your free throw. , Do you want me to teach you how to make free throws?"

"Humph." Stephen snorted, and ignored it. Bickering with others on this kind of matter can only be self-defeating.

"Look, let me teach you how to shoot first." Artest suddenly pushed forward, and Stephen stepped back a little.

, In case of his breakthrough, who knows that this guy stepped back, immediately raised the ball in the air, and shot towards the basket.

"You laughed too early." Stephen immediately jumped high into the air, and at the same time stretched his long arms and swung towards the ball flying in the air. Although only one fingertip touched the ball, the path of the ball has been changed. Duncan from behind jumped high and hugged the ball in his arms.

"A defensive player should not only be able to steal, but also be able to block shots." After blocking Artest's shot, Stephen was still saying witty words, Artest gritted his teeth angrily, his Blocking shots is really not very good. His defense is mainly close to body defense and steals. Although he is not a floor player, his bounce is really average. Even when he shoots, he only jumps a little bit, otherwise he would not be blocked by Stephen.

During the offense, after Duncan got the ball, he leaned back two times, and found that the opponent was deadly, and there was another player of the opponent in the turning position, who was about to pass the ball to the outside after two dribbles. Suddenly, he looked to one side and saw a figure wearing his team's jersey flashing past, but there was no opponent's defensive player next to him. After making a fake pass to the outside, Li Ji passed the ball behind his head.

Although Stephen didn't expect that Duncan would pass the ball into his hands, but seeing the ball flying over, his body naturally caught the ball in his hands. Before Granger behind him caught up with his foul again, Stephen immediately gave a heavy meal on the ground , the body immediately soared into the air, and after making a half-turn in the air, the basket appeared in front of his eyes, then waved his arms, and poured the ball into the basket with an invincible momentum. In the middle, a huge sound came out loudly, shaking the ears of everyone in the audience.

Seeing this, Popovich blinked habitually, as if this guy is not useless on the offensive end, whether it was the tough breakthrough just now, or the sudden empty cut into the penalty area for a dunk, it is a kind of offensive A good choice for him, do you want to design a few sets of tactics specifically for him?

Although Stephen only played for a few minutes, in these few minutes, Stephen's performance far exceeded Popovich's expectations. He was not impulsive in defense. Although he lacked a little experience, his single defense effect was very good. Well, with the awareness and willingness to assist in defense, he is not at a disadvantage against players like Artest. His physical fitness is really good, and on the offensive end, he also actively cooperates and runs without the ball. Being able to be a defensive player, it seems that this draft is very worthwhile.

"Can you do this dunk? Can you bounce more than [-] centimeters?" When Artest continued to attack the ball again, Stephen said beside him, making Artest angry He gave him a hard look. Although he can also dunk, it is really impossible for someone like Stephen to take off and dunk directly with half his back to the basket without a run-up and so far away from the basket. .

Artest swayed for a while, seeing that Stephen didn't want to shake, he was about to use his strength to charge Stephen, but he was squeezed tightly by Stephen and couldn't kill him. At this time, Granger suddenly passed by his side, Taking advantage of the situation, he received the basketball from his hands, but before Granger could leave, Stephen had already made a surprise move and snatched the ball from Granger's hands.

After Van Exel received Stephen's pass, he immediately rushed towards his own half, but Stephen ran left and right there, blocking Artest and Granger, seeing Van Exel After Sell and Ginobili made a cooperation and scored two points, Stephen stopped.

"How's my steal?" Stephen deliberately asked between the two of them, and he didn't know who he was asking, but both of them were very angry. Granger was okay, glared at Stephen and left, But Artest turned his face away, clenched his hands, his eyebrows trembled, and seemed to have a plan to do something. At this time, the Pacers hurriedly sent Stephen Jackson to replace Artest. Artest Because of the fight in the Palace of Auburn Hills, it is still under a one-year observation period. If there is another similar action, it will be jailed.
