Chapter 85 Alliance Part 1



What is power? This is called power. The big screen in the center of the court keeps replaying the goal just now, showing it from different angles and directions. Through this lens, Stephen shows everyone what power is. Being held down can also dunk the ball into the basket.

"Look at our giant little Hercules. It's really incredible. I really want to test whether the muscles on his body are made of alloy. Come on, little guy, let me check." Elliot quickly He also gave Stephen the awkward nickname of "Juli Little Hercules".

Some of the nicknames casually given to players by the commentators on the spot have been handed down because they are particularly appropriate or classic, such as Kobe’s "Peter Pan", Wade's "Flash", Yao Ming's "Little Giant" and so on. Most of the time, the commentators are taken casually, and it is possible that no one will mention it after a game.

Elliott has already given Stephen several nicknames, and now there is no nickname recognized by everyone. One is that the Spurs games lack the opportunity to broadcast nationally. These nicknames for Stephen have not had time to spread. At the same time, after all, Stephen is A rookie, the only ones who really like him are the local Spurs fans.

However, his reputation in China has spread all over the country. At least in the basketball circle, everyone knows everyone. The nicknames given to Stephen by the fans are also messy. There are "barbarians", "berserkers" ", "Chinese Flying Man", "Hercules", they can be called anything, some people like it and some people hate it, this law is always valid, some fans gave Stephen some "big flying shit", "shit big flying " and other insulting nicknames.

But these have nothing to do with Stephen, he never pays attention to the domestic media, even the special interview with CCTV Sports Channel, the overlord of the domestic media, was rejected by him, because Robert Horry told him that if he did not get enough Before proving your honor, don’t show off in the media. First, it’s easy to make your teammates and coaches dissatisfied with you. Second, the media tends to take your words out of context and make fuss about your words, which will only bring you trouble. In addition, CCTV is not a good character when you hear the name, with a strong official background.

"Your strength is really strong, young man, I am a little impressed by you." Kobe is not a jealous person, at least in terms of strength, after Kobe recognized Stephen's strength, he also changed his previous incompetence. Angry, he turned to Stephen and expressed it in a friendly manner.

When Kobe did this, Stephen was naturally embarrassed to face him, and the two chatted casually. In comparison, Kobe didn't like the style of a street kid who was full of gossip, and Stephen talked and talked. The style was to his liking, so the relationship between the two suddenly became harmonious.

Whether it’s good to meet and smile at En Yi, or sympathetic to each other, just a few words, the relationship between the two people has been brought closer, but when the game restarts, when Stephen faces Kobe again, he still refuses to relax at all. As if in Stephen's arms, Kobe turned left and right for a long time before throwing the ball with great difficulty.

After losing the anger just now, Kobe also regained his composure and rationality, and took the initiative to stand in front of Ginobili. Vujacic had no choice but to switch to the opposite of Stephen. He didn't want to defend such a fierce guy. Ginobili's Although the breakthrough is sharp, if you can't prevent it, just let him pass, but this guy can't beat people to death.

While the Lakers' defense was changing positions, Tony Parker's pass flew into Stephen's hands from the crowd as if he had eyes. Jasic rushed over like a tank. Vujasic saw Stephen rushing over, and he didn't even dare to block it. He turned sideways and gave way to Stephen, and Stephen also rushed in unceremoniously, Chris Mim I didn't expect Vujacic to be so weak. Before he had time to react, he was left behind by Stephen. Odom was distracted and didn't know what kind of candy he should eat at night. Seeing Stephen rushing over, he just responded in a coping manner. Raising his hand, he watched Stephen dunk on his head without any abnormal reaction. Seeing this, Zen Master Jackson closed his eyes.

Turn around and let Stephen continue to defend Kobe. This time, Kobe made a pick-and-roll cooperation with Chris Mim, but before he could make a move, Stephen had already come to him again, and Chris Mim was directly pushed aside by Stephen. Almost collided with Nesterovitch.

When Kobe was about to make a shot, he found that Stephen had come in front of him. He quickly shrank back, then dribbled the ball and made a step-back jumper, but this kind of shot that forcibly changed his expected action directly shot a three Nonstick.

Another 2 minutes passed in the game. During these 2 minutes, Kobe missed all four shots. Although it cannot be said that it is entirely due to Stephen, this kind of consecutive misses is indeed enough to make Kobe angry, so in another attack, Kobe suddenly accelerated, relying on Stephen's body to make two fake shots, which finally caused Stephen to lose his defensive position, and then shot.

During the free throw, Kobe stretched out his index finger and nodded at Stephen, and then nodded at himself. Stephen just smiled at such an action. Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? Yes, like this kind of shot five or six times and scored once, the defense is already considered very successful.

However, Stephen really admires Kobe's persistence and self-confidence, like this kind of person who still dares to continue to shoot after five or six consecutive missed shots. It is estimated that no one except Kobe would dare. Of course, this is also related to his experience in the Lakers It is related to status, and switching to other teams will not allow him to waste mobile phone opportunities like him.

Stephen made a rough calculation in his mind. Before a quarter was finished, Kobe had already made more than ten shots. This is an extraordinary number of shots. In the Spurs, Stephen had ten shots in a game. Even if it is not bad, even Duncan and Ginobili, the number of shots in the audience is only about [-] times.

Not to mention that most of these shots were missed. I guess on my side, even if Ginobili missed so many shots in a row and continued to take shots, he would be scolded bloody by Popovich. Well, even Duncan probably wouldn't dare to do that. Looking at his boss and his coach, sitting there as if he fell asleep, how could he not make Stephen envious.

Every player likes to play in a loose system, but it is not easy to win in a loose system. Generally, academic coaches are stricter, and some even forbid a player to make a random shot without following the tactics. In the case of scolding for a long time, generally speaking, coaches who come from players are very considerate of players’ thoughts, so they are more relaxed. Zen master Jackson is an obvious example. He likes to make psychological adjustments to players off the court, such as sending books of inspirational books or lead the players to watch a movie, etc., but on the court, he usually lets the players play and doesn’t like to yell at the players, so the premise of his coaching team is that the core players of the team must have The extreme desire for victory, he does not need to be urged to have motivation, he likes to sit there with his eyes closed, and sometimes he doesn't even bother to call a timeout.

Therefore, Zen Master Jackson's nagging appearance is not appreciated by other coaches. They think that he is a fake name and has no real material. The championship ring, and what kind of oriental Zen he played, was purely mystifying.

In the second quarter, even though the Lakers replaced Kobe, Bryant still stayed on the court. Thanks to this, Stephen also stayed on the court. As long as a team like the Lakers can defend Kobe, the victory will be guaranteed. It's like getting more than half of it, not to mention that Stephen only made four of the [-] shots he defended against Kobe. If this is not success, what is success?

Finally, at the end of the first half with 2 minutes left, the Lakers replaced Kobe, and Popovich also took advantage of the opportunity to replace Stephen. When Stephen was off the court, he was sweating profusely and his whole body was sore. The situation that Stephen has never appeared in the game on the court shows how hard he defended Kobe.

However, after Stephen got off the field, he was praised by Popovich. He suddenly felt lighter, and all the fatigue disappeared. It was not easy to be praised by the head coach Popovich once. Stephen sat on the bench, I tried my best to relax my muscles, but my heart felt like drinking honey water.

During the intermission, Stephen even enjoyed the treatment of the team doctor's massage, because he played the longest in the first half, and at the same time, he obviously looked the most tired. The massage effect was really good, and Stephen immediately felt The whole body is full of strength, as if the energy has returned to itself.

In the second half, Kobe appeared on the court at the beginning of the game. Since the team was leading temporarily, Popovich did not rush to adjust the lineup. Instead, he waited for another minute and a half before replacing Stephen. In the open, Kobe hit another ball, made Bruce Bowen a foul, and made two free throws, raising his own score to [-] points.

"It's useless to change anyone." Seeing Stephen stand in front of him again, after Kobe said something, he immediately turned around and shot a jumper with ease. I moved my body there, as if to say, I have just played and haven't moved my body yet, why are you so crazy.

The second time Kobe took another shot was not so easy. Under Stephen's interference, the shot missed the basket. Now Kobe had nothing to say, so he had to run away quietly. This kind of struggle continued until the end of the game. Although Kobe got A high score of 25 points, but seeing his 33-of-[-] field goal percentage and his [-]-of-[-] three-point field goal percentage, you can see how much trouble Stephen has caused him. After limiting Kobe, the Lakers' decline Losing is also a matter of course. The Spurs ended the first month of the [-]-[-] season with a record of [-] wins and [-] losses, becoming the team with the best record in the league.

Everyone is not too enthusiastic to participate in the collection of nicknames, but I don’t have anything to offer a reward, so I will draw out two by myself, one is "Giantman" and the other is "Monster Stephen" (there is a very famous one in the United States. The movie is called Shrek, and it is also translated as monster), what do you think?
