Chapter 62 The Lonely King



After the game against the Nuggets, many media used the headline "The Return of the King" as a compliment to the Spurs' wonderful performance that night. The Spurs' game that night did not give the Nuggets too many opportunities, except in the second quarter. After a short nap, then after a slow third quarter, the Spurs turned things around in just 2 minutes at the start of the fourth quarter, and then never gave the Nuggets another team opportunity.

And what makes them even more convincing is that facing the Nuggets, which is also one of the strong teams, the Spurs still have time to train. The evidence is naturally that Stephen started the game, and then when the game situation was confirmed, he once again took the lead. He sent out.

In just one game, Stephen used his wonderful performance to dispel all doubts about him, because he faced Carmelo Anthony, one of the best small forwards in the league, compared to Kobe and McGrady. A type of offensive player, Anthony has more impact and more lethality. Just relying on Stephen's fearless performance in front of him is enough to be praised, not to mention that he is also very good at the beginning and end of the game. To limit Anthony.

Since there was an agreement when the arena was first built, at the beginning of each year, San Antonio has the right to use the SBC Center to hold a half-month animal husbandry exhibition. Brigade, so in terms of the schedule, the league will arrange many home games for the Spurs in the previous schedule.

On the third day of the game against the Nuggets, the Spurs will face the challenge of the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, and many media agree that if Stephen can face the "little emperor" LeBron James, If they can still maintain such a performance, it means that the Spurs have indeed found a treasure in the second round, but at this time, no one is going to ask why the Spurs chose Ion in the first round, who is now useless. Mahinmi, and deliberately traded for a second-round pick to choose Stephen.

However, not all the media are full of praise for Stephen. After affirming Stephen's defensive ability, many experts and media reporters also seem to clearly point out that in this game, although Stephen scored six points, he was still [-]%. [-] shooting percentage, but this does not prove that Stephen has developed an offensive ability, because he has already shown whether it is a dunk or a tip-up, and Stephen's first shot, after multiple analysis, they think This was just a mistake. Judging from the shape of the shot, Stephen is likely to pass the ball mostly.

They basically guessed the truth, but as long as Stephen doesn't stand up and admit it, who can be sure that Stephen is passing the ball instead of shooting. As for the shooting posture, it's a bit weird. Marion, Childress, what's wrong with their strange postures, maybe they have to be like this to ensure their hit rate.

But in general, most of Stephen's performance is positive and positive, but seeing these Stephen is no longer happy, he is preparing to deal with his second opponent, the little emperor James is more famous than the little melon Anthony Yes, Stephen specially contacted Gretel for this purpose, and asked Gretel to edit some analysis of James' offensive moves for himself.

After receiving the video made by Gretel through the Internet, Stephen found that the quality of Gretel's production was much higher than before, and even many subtleties were clearly marked for Stephen. After asking, I found out that in order to better complete the tasks Stephen gave him, Gretel went to study basketball tactics courses, so the videos produced are more suitable for Stephen's needs.

After watching James' performance in the preseason games of last season and this season, Stephen frowned in embarrassment. This guy has very comprehensive skills, and the difference from Anthony is that James prefers to show his versatility in the game, not like Anthony. In that way, it is always based on self-aggression.

His role in the Cavaliers is very obvious, that is, the complete dominance of the team, all the players of the team serve him, last season, in terms of average data, playing time, points, assists, steals are all ranked The team ranks first, and the team ranks third in rebounds.

And unlike other superstar players, he is very active in defense when he is on the court, and he is not greedy for credit. Compared with scoring, he is more willing to use assists to express himself. The guy is never satisfied with his current level. After a summer, it can be seen that he has improved a lot.

Such an all-round player is every defender's nightmare. Except for training, Stephen spent all his free time watching clips of James on the offensive end. Slowly, James became a living image in his mind. , Rush left and right wantonly, unstoppable.

Stephen did a lot of work to defend James, but after waiting for the game that day, he found that the team was about to finish the first quarter, let alone starting, and Popovich had no intention of sending himself on the court. It has been very hard to deal with it, but Popovich still doesn't seem to see Stephen's existence.

At the beginning of the second quarter, James received a pass from Eric Snow as soon as he passed the midfield, and then suddenly accelerated. Before Bruce Bowen had time to get close, he was left far behind by James. The orangutan step, it took only two or three steps to step into the penalty area, and then James soared into the air, jumping high in the air, Duncan jumped up in a hurry trying to stop James' dunk, and was hit hard by James.

Neither of the two backed down, and they collided with each other like a shock, James dunked the ball into the basket as if he was not affected at all, but Duncan was directly hit by him and flew out until it hit the basketball hoop , just stopped.

Everyone knows that James is very strong, but no one can give a specific indicator of how strong he is, but the scene just now gave everyone a very intuitive impression, that is, his strength can make Duncan Flying out, you must know that Duncan is a big player with a height of two meters.

Duncan lay on the ground for a while before getting up. When he got up, he kept rubbing his chest. It could be seen that the impact just now made him very uncomfortable. Popovich pinched his chin at this time, which was his hesitant movement. Originally, according to his expectation, this game should not be considered to give Stephen too much playing time, at most let him play for a while in the third quarter, but the situation on the court is a bit bad, James' impact Once the strength is exerted, it is really destructive and amazing. If Michael Finley plays as planned, I am afraid that James will play even crazier.

With such a player in hand, if you encounter such a situation, you will unconsciously want to use him. Popovich actually considered this situation before the game. With Stephen's defensive skills, he will deal with an all-around player like James. Generally speaking, the defensive effect will not be very good, but facing James in a violent state, Bruce Bowen obviously showed the fatigue of being defeated. Before Popovich could make a decision, Bruce Bowen was forced by James again. After a successful breakthrough, Duncan had no choice but to come over to defend him again, but James made a blocking foul.

In this case, at the beginning of the second quarter, Duncan got three fouls, which is definitely not good news for the Spurs. Duncan is the core of both offense and defense in the team's tactical system. If the outside defense is frequently broken, it will give the inside defense Bringing a lot of pressure, Duncan can no longer continue to foul, but if James is allowed to attack the inside like this, it will happen sooner or later.

Popovich swaps out Nesterovic for Oberto, moves the more athletic Oberto to power forward, Duncan goes to center, then surprises with Steph. Instead of replacing Bowen with Stephen.

Stephen's task is not to defend James, but after Bowen's defense line is broken, Stephen will defend from the strong side. Block the outside line, prevent breakthroughs and shoot and pass.

Stephen strictly followed the coach's instructions. Seeing that normal methods could not prevent James from breaking through, he rushed forward bravely and stopped James' footsteps with a fierce impact. After the impact, Stephen felt the pain on his body. All the parts were aching, and after glancing at the rock-like muscles on James, Stephen gritted his teeth and stood up again.

It was only at this time that Stephen felt Duncan's pain just now, and also felt how hard it was for Bruce Bowen to deal with James for more than a whole quarter. This guy's body is simply inhuman, even an orangutan is not so strong.

My own body is considered very strong, but it seems that there is no abnormality from the other party. It seems that this is the case with the strong potion. I was deceived by the old man. In fact, Stephen has wronged Rosenberg a bit. The effect has not yet fully manifested, and at the same time, because his body was remodeled the day after tomorrow, other tissues in his body have not yet adapted.

Stephen wanted to defend James based on the impression in the video, but soon he discovered that James' offensive methods were definitely more than those in the video. He was like a treasure trove of offense, constantly digging out various Offensive techniques, and the means are varied, almost never used the same offensive method twice.

However, the two defensive players' alternate pincer attack still had some effect. James' crazy breakthrough momentum was finally contained, and James also increased his own passing, instead of blindly controlling the ball in his own hands. Both Richards and Snow regained their touch, but Popovich replaced Duncan with Robert Horry at this time, and at the same time replaced Bowen with Michael Finley, and replaced Tony with Van Exel. Parker, the team began to switch to the offense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Beijing team won the championship four to one, which confirms that the game is not a competition of strength on paper. There is still a certain gap between Beijing and Guangdong in terms of strength, but they can win the Guangdong team and win the championship. The spirit of hard work and unity and The desire for the championship is the key factor to win. To be honest, when I saw Marbury bursting into tears, I also felt poetic. This is the charm of basketball and the appeal of basketball. It is for the progress of Chinese basketball and the Chinese Basketball League While passionate, I am proud that I am a basketball fan.
