Chapter 71



In the game against the Washington Wizards, Stephen saw for the first time what it means to be unstoppable, what it means to ignore defense, what it means to be raining arrows, and what it means to be able to shoot well. Bruce Bowen is called the best outside line Defenders, but facing the Wizards' All-Star shooting guard known as "Agent Zero" Genobert Arenas, there is no way.

He made 43 of [-] two-pointers, [-] of [-] three-pointers, and [-] of [-] free throws. Arenas scored [-] points. With [-]+ points in front of him, Arenas was everywhere in the game, especially layups and mid-range jumpers. But the referee didn't blow it.

Only fouls can prevent him from scoring goals. Even if Stephen is watching on the field, he can only draw such a conclusion. This kind of shooting should be a sensory shooting. This is the feeling of shooting, so how to shoot.

But what should players like them do if they don't have the feel to shoot?Then it should be a habitual shooting, like Kobe, McGrady, Arenas, Iverson, they should all be this kind, when they feel it, they can score 33 to 39 points, and when they don’t , is 37 points and 37 points, especially Kobe Bryant this season, scored 28 points in the first game, and then followed by 27 points, 34 points, [-] points, and [-] points. In one game, facing Iverson, he made [-] of [-] shots and only scored [-] points. On the contrary, Iverson scored [-] points.

However, they all have one characteristic, that is, they have unquestionable control over the team's shooting rights. They are the only core of the team, and McGrady is almost close, because the Rockets still have Yao Ming. , so it is impossible to get more than [-] shots per game.

The right to shoot is the main factor for high scores. Without the right to shoot, scoring is naturally impossible to talk about. Seeing Arenas ravaging his team like chopping melons and vegetables, Stephen's heart flickered inexplicably. After a bit of envy, it must be very cool to do this. I don’t want to be a lonely king like James, but I am willing to be a lonely hero like Arenas. Apart from the defense of the matchup, I don’t need to think so much, I just need to score That's it.

Moreover, scoring seems to be able to win the game. In Stephen's view, the Wizards' defense is like a funnel, but with Arenas' crazy performance, there is no way for so many players in front. The Spurs in the league are panicking. Although the Wizards are considered one of the strongest teams in the East, the overall strength of the East is generally inferior to that of the West. A team like the Wizards will not even play in the playoffs if they switch to the West. I will definitely be able to get in, but this is such a team that has done things that other teams have not done.

The Washington Wizards have done something that no other player has done. This kind of thing is naturally worthy of a great deal of media attention. Arenas just scored 32 points in back-to-back games and beat the Seattle Super League 130-96 to 43. The Sonics, who turned around and scored another [-] points, are unanimously considered to be a strong opponent for Kobe to win the scoring title this season.

But these are painful memories for the Spurs, but the Eastern Conference road trip is finally over here, and for Stephen, there is another good news that his suspension career is coming to an end, Charlotte The Bobcats, the Boston Celtics, and the Washington Wizards sat on the sidelines and watched their teammates fight on the field. They could only be a bystander, which made Stephen so depressed that he was dying. Stephen made up his mind in his heart. Except for injuries, this kind of thing is resolutely not allowed to happen again.

Although the six-game winning streak is over, Popovich doesn't value it. He doesn't value these records. As long as the team cannot win the championship, it is a failure. For Popovich, another idea is to break the law that the team cannot win the championship in even-numbered years. Before [-], with the Lakers, there was no chance for the Spurs. In [-], they lost to the Lakers with the four kings. Although they did not win the championship, for the Spurs, this law is still considered to exist. If this law is broken, it will also break the Spurs forever. Doubts that cannot be defended.

In particular, the Heat this season made Popovich very afraid. Although O'Neal was old, his power at the basket was still unstoppable, and Wade also made Popovich vaguely see the old Jordan. Compared with Jordan, Wade is still a lot worse, but through these few games, Wade has developed a long-range three-point shot. The mid-range shot, the combination of one inside and one outside, is just a replica of the Lakers' three consecutive championships in the past, and Pat Riley is also very good at such a lineup. Recently, it has been reported that Pat Riley will Re-in charge of the coach, replacing his disciple Stan Van Gundy.

Popovich believes that this news is not completely groundless. Based on his knowledge of Pat Riley, Pat Riley will definitely do such a thing. On the one hand, he is still ambitious, and on the other hand, he also believes Stan Van Gundy doesn't have enough experience to lead a team to a championship.

When Popovich was making long-term plans for the team, Stephen was sweating hard on the training ground. Returning to this familiar training ground, Stephen felt that even the feeling of not breaking through for a long time was lost. In order to improve, it is impossible to practice more during the away game, and even the normal shooting training cannot be completed. Who knows that after a week like this, the shooting percentage can still increase.

After observing a lot, Engelland told Stephen that now he has entered a period of steady growth in shooting percentage. As long as he keeps exercising, his shooting percentage will continue to rise according to inertia. Even the current shooting percentage has basically reached In order to meet the requirements of taking shots in a formal game, as long as you have confidence, don't force shots, and don't make random shots, the hit rate can be guaranteed to be more than [-]%.

This is very good news for Stephen. Although Stephen has developed a variety of scoring methods and is no longer a rookie jumper who can only dunk, shooting is still the most suitable in the game. The scoring method used in the middle.

Back in San Antonio, Stephen's training programs suddenly increased a lot. In addition to Engelland's shooting training, Stephen also followed Duncan and the others to do basic offensive training and dribbling training. Only by combining various offensive methods Only by training the basic movements to the extreme can they be used freely in the competition.

After seeing Anthony, James, and Pierce, Stephen deeply felt that there was still a huge gap between himself and them, especially in terms of basketball talent. Level, but Stephen's control ability is not enough to fully control this body, let alone when he started basketball training.

Every night when he returned to his residence, Stephen would open the mailbox to see if there was a reply from Johnny, but as the day passed, there was no movement at all. Could it be that the war in Afghanistan was so tense that he didn’t even have time to reply to an email?Stephen found a lot of reports related to the war in Afghanistan and found that the situation has not deteriorated.

At this time, in the remote Middle East, at Mahirah Island Air Force Base in the Republic of Oman, a small team of SEALs wearing khaki camouflage uniforms and camouflage camouflage on their faces walked out of a trunk. They had just Executed a capture of Al Qaeda's No. 40 figure, Atiyah Abd Rahman. Although it was unsuccessful, it also managed to capture more than [-] hardcore Al Qaeda elements, adding five points to each person's merit points .

The SEALs have another independent method of calculating military merit. Although the missions they perform are extremely dangerous, it is also very easy to accumulate military merit. If a person can serve in the SEALs for three years without sacrificing, it is equivalent to being in the frontline troops. Five years of combat, ten years of service in the ordinary army.

"Johnny, this is the Spurs report you are most concerned about. I didn't expect that you are a Spurs fan like me, but this is not something that needs to be kept secret. It is very open and aboveboard to like a team." The logistics personnel in charge of receiving them immediately connected them to the camp that had been prepared long ago. The sergeant major in charge of logistics brought Johnny a stack of newspapers. He found that Johnny was very concerned about the reports related to the Spurs several times. Johnny is a Spurs fan just like him, so he is very friendly to Johnny.

"Thank you." Johnny took the report and smiled at him, showing his white teeth, then opened the newspaper and read it.

"I think with the addition of Michael Finley, the Spurs will be able to successfully defend the title." The sergeant major was not polite, sat down beside Johnny, and began to discuss with Johnny, Johnny didn't care about it I ignored him, but Johnny looked through the recent newspapers, but there was not a single report related to Stephen.

"I think that rookie has a greater effect on the team." Did something happen to Stephen, was he injured?Johnny was a little worried in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal how much he cared about Stephen, so he pretended to be relaxed, as if discussing casually.

"That rookie is really good. Coach Popovich really has a vision. He was able to find such a good player in the second round. But I don't know what happened. I haven't seen him play in several games. It can't be because of it. What kind of injury, the bodies of Orientals don't pretend like we do."

"That's it." Johnny dealt with it casually, but he couldn't stop worrying about Stephen in his heart, but the basketball game could not be watched live in the barracks, and the secondary network of the camp was destroyed by those terrorists, and he couldn't access it all the time. Going to the Internet to read the latest online reports is useless. I don’t know what happened to Stephen, and he hasn’t played two or three games in a row.
