Chapter 60 The Savage Little Guy



When the Spurs turned to attack, although Stephen did not participate in the team's offense, he successfully used his running to distract the opponent's defense and created opportunities for Ginobili's breakthrough. The basket missed the ball, but Duncan made up the ball and the Spurs scored two points again.

When facing Anthony's offense again, Stephen was very careful to get closer to the opponent, so that he could block the opponent's ball when the opponent shot, instead of covering it on the arm.

Anthony still used the last probing step to test Stephen, and Stephen was still unmoved, but Anthony realized that the distance between him and Stephen was not safe, so he did not force the shot, but suddenly changed direction, towards the other side. Kill on one side.

At this time Stephen moved, Anthony only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a figure appeared in front of him, and Anthony stretched out his arm and tried to push Stephen away. Unexpectedly, just when he pushed Stephen, Stephen was already squeezed tightly. Coming over, the huge and amazing strength almost pushed Anthony in turn. Anthony was taken aback. This guy looks very ordinary. How can he be so strong? It's not much worse than James, an orangutan-like guy.

Taking a few steps along the outer edge, Anthony finally found that under Stephen's strong squeeze, he did not get closer to the inside line at all. A little chance for a breakthrough.

At this time, other people have already seen that when Stephen is facing Anthony, he really does not suffer physically at all. At least with Anthony's strength, he can't force Stephen. Who else is there in the league at the small forward position? Being able to force Stephen, maybe James can give it a try, but it is only possible to try. In terms of force, he may not be as threatening as Anthony.

Anthony was moving a little inward from the three-point line along the three-point line to the bottom line, and suddenly turned around. Stephen appeared in front of him soon, but Anthony suddenly turned back. Although Stephen had already turned back quickly, But he still caught a chance and squeezed in abruptly.

However, Stephen still did not give up his own defense, and kept squeezing Anthony from the side. When Anthony was not given a shot, Anthony wanted to force a shot, but considering Stephen's reaction speed for the first time defending, he still did not dare to risk being blocked. risk.

Anthony stopped suddenly. Stephen reached out to take out the basketball in his hand. After being avoided by Anthony, he suddenly jumped up and turned halfway in the air, and threw the ball. However, due to Stephen's strong interference from below, the ball went over the frame. , fell into the hands of Marcus Camby on the other side, and Camby passed it back to Andre Miller.

Since Anthony's shot didn't hit the basket just now, the Nuggets had less than five seconds left for this offense. After Andre Miller received the ball, he threw it directly. After the ball hit the backboard Bounces into the basket.

After two rounds each, both the offenses of the Spurs and the Nuggets were successful, but compared to the offense of the Spurs, the offense of the Nuggets was a bit stumbled, especially their first offensive choice, Anthony, who was under Stephen's defense. Next, the performance is very struggling.

Stephen is trying to slip into the lane from the baseline after receiving another pass from Duncan from the high post. Anthony is closely behind him and does not give him any room to shoot.

Stephen suddenly made an emergency stop, then suddenly started again, and then collided with Anthony. Stephen swayed twice and then stood firm, but Anthony was bumped into Martin next to him by Stephen, and the two fell together. fell to the ground.

The referee came over again and gave Stephen a foul. Stephen ran to the backcourt as if he hadn't seen the referee. The referee was so depressed that he didn't react at all.

Seven minutes later, Stephen still stayed on the court. Although Anthony scored seven points, Stephen himself paid for two fouls, but everyone knows that as a role player, the number of fouls is not important to him. However, his performance in the past few minutes has completely proved his defensive ability. Although it is a bit incompatible with the team's overall defensive tactics, it has restrained Anthony very well.

Anthony was a little angry at Stephen's entanglement, and it was too uncomfortable to be close-fitting. Although Bruce Bowen's defense was also close-fitting, known as a candy-style defense, it was not at all compared with Stephen's closeness. grade above.

The difference is mainly in strength. Stephen's feet are too stable, and it is impossible for him to lose his defensive position unless you let him make mistakes on his own initiative. However, as Stephen's experience becomes more and more abundant, such opportunities become more and more less.

Moreover, Stephen's defensive actions are not as honest as a rookie at all. He squeezed his five fingers and stabbed people secretly, used his knees to deliberately push people's inner thighs, and kept bumping into people with his own body bumps. Anthony felt a little uncomfortable all over.

After Stephen once again pretended to be unintentional and touched Anthony's back with his shoulder, Anthony turned his head and gave Stephen a fierce look. Who knew that Stephen didn't suffer at all, and immediately stared back.

Being provoked by a newcomer like this, how could Anthony bear it, and immediately pushed forward bravely. The two bodies immediately pushed together, and then glared at each other.

"This savage little guy, is he going to fight in the first game of his life?" Elliott continued to express his feelings on it. Listening to his explanation, you really don't know where he is standing.

The referee hurried over to separate the two, and then the game continued. Who knew that in the next attack, Stephen imitated Anthony's movement and took a step forward, but Anthony didn't even look at his protruding step. You kid can't shoot anyway, either break through or pass, with your kid's ability, you can't pass any good shots, as long as you don't break through.

Who knew that Stephen took a step back and shot directly, and the ball actually went in. Anthony looked back in disbelief, and then looked at Stephen with his head held high. He suddenly felt that he had underestimated his opponent. .

Stephen himself was still wondering, he wanted to throw the ball to Duncan inside, it was a pass, how could it be a shot, but Stephen still pretended to be very sensitive, as if he was shooting on purpose.

Popovich was a little puzzled, this kid had already improved to be so confident in his shots, and he turned around and asked Engelland in the row behind him what was going on.

Engellander can only tell him that Stephen's shooting has improved greatly since he recovered from his injury. Although it is still not up to the practical standard, it is very close.

Oh, so it turned out that Popovich, who had already decided to let Stephen off the field, heard this and decided to give Stephen a few more minutes. Stephen had already given him several surprises today, so he decided to take a look and see Will there be any new surprises?

But in this way, Stephen played the entire first quarter, which is the treatment of a normal starter. After Stephen found out that the coach didn't intend to replace him, he played more and more relaxed.

When he led Anthony to the basket, Duncan was holding the ball in a high position. After seeing that there seemed to be an opportunity to take advantage of it, Anthony suddenly ran towards Duncan, and at the same time reached out to pass through Duncan's arms and knocked off Duncan's ball. .

Then who would have thought that although Duncan looked at the front, he was always paying attention to every move behind him. When he heard footsteps coming from behind his head, he knew that it must be the opponent's player running towards him. , His teammate was also in that position, and he was in an unguarded state. He immediately threw the ball to the back of his waist, and at the same time turned his body around, blocking Anthony behind him.

Nesterovic happened to block Marcus Camby, who is good at blocking shots, for Stephen. Stephen received a pass from Duncan. Since he was already planning to chase Anthony, his back was already facing the basket, and Stephen had no time to go again. Turn around, take off directly on the spot, dunk the ball back with both hands, and dunk the ball into the basket without even looking at it with your back to the basket.

This slam dunk looks very simple, but the difficulty is that Stephen took off directly, and at the same time his back was facing the basket, without even looking at the basket, and he was about to run out, but suddenly caught the basket. After passing the ball, he stopped suddenly and exerted force backwards, which made it even more difficult.

Stephen's dunk also won applause from the fans on the scene. There has never been such a jumping man in the Spurs lineup. The dunk can not only improve morale, but also a good way to stimulate the emotions of the fans, especially like Stephen This very difficult dunk.

Anthony made another shot. This time Stephen's hand was already high in the air. In order to avoid being blocked, Anthony had to forcefully change his shot and turned the shot into a pass. However, Martin, the target of the pass, was not prepared for this and was caught by Duncan. He waited for the opportunity to steal successfully, made a direct long pass to the backcourt, and successfully counterattacked.

Leonard missed a shot and was grabbed by Nesterovic for a rebound. Tony Parker quickly advanced to the frontcourt and missed a three-pointer, but Stephen suddenly appeared at the basket and scored a basketball. Down two points.

All of Stephen's touches on the offensive end led to goals. One shot, one dunk and one tip-up. The [-]% shooting rate is very surprising. A guy who can't attack can maintain such a shooting rate. Could it be himself? Inaccurate intelligence, Nuggets coach George Karl immediately suspected his own staff.
