Thanks to the national live broadcast of this game, Stephen's defensive ability was shown in front of the national audience for the first time. This ability cannot be seen simply from the data, nor can it be known simply by watching the video after the game Yes, you must see it with your own eyes in order to have a very intuitive judgment and understanding.

Being able to defend Kobe from nine of 33 three-pointers and zero of six three-pointers is the most direct manifestation of Stephen's defensive ability. Similarly, although Stephen's playing time hit a season high in the game, his scoring was far lower than the season's average. , In the end, only nine points were scored, and the rebound and assist data were far lower than usual, which means that Stephen's game experience is still lacking, and he cannot maintain a balance between the defensive end and the offensive end.

But all of this has passed with the past. In the post-match interview, when Kobe was asked by the reporter whether his shooting percentage was so low today because of his own state or the opposing defensive player, Kobe answered the question very smartly. It comes down to luck: "Shooting also requires luck." As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately won the applause of the whole house, but Kobe was not embarrassed at all, and turned around and praised Stephen greatly. From Stephen's strength to Stephen's defense, and then to Stephen's attitude towards the game, in his mouth, the Spurs' game was simply won by Stephen alone.

When the reporter asked Stephen about Kobe's praise, Stephen also responded very tactfully: "The victory is due to the whole team, not to a certain player. To win the last game at the end of the month is related to the coaching staff. It is inseparable from the hard guidance of all teammates and the support of the fans on the scene."

"And what he can do is to obey the coach's arrangement and command, and try his best to express himself on the court." Then Stephen changed the subject: "As for others' compliments on his ability." Stephen said very confidently, I know very well about my ability. The management selects me and gives me a guarantee contract. The coaching staff arranges me on the court, which is the greatest recognition of my ability, and I don’t need others to praise me.

This is the first time Stephen has been interviewed by the media alone. His sophisticated and tactful response, the language that people can't grasp at all, and his skilled tone made many reporters present feel very distressed. If the ten-year-old fritters are the same, how can our industry continue to mess up? What reporters are best at is to sow discord and fan the flames face to face, and then after you respond, he will take the meaning out of context, seek attention and provoke conflicts.

Especially for those rookie players, standing in front of the spotlight and the microphone for the first time in their lives, and being praised by these reporters, they will immediately lose their minds in front of the glory and say something that does not know the margins. Bogut is like this When, he publicly disrespected Duncan and earned himself the title of "Big Mouth". No matter how you respond, it's wrong. It's better to pretend to be generous and not respond.

When Stephen was at the University of Southern California, he talked about how the team dealt with the media. Said that the University of Utah does not have such a course?), Shi Xianghua also communicated with Stephen a lot of things that should be paid attention to in social aspects. fall.

There is no way to catch Stephen, and the media reporters dare not make it up, because all the interviews are recorded. Once they make up things, the players and the team can hold them accountable, but if the players accept it alone If they interview, it is difficult to say, so players must obtain the permission of the team to accept interviews.

This is a system established by the league in order to maintain the image of the players and prevent players from casually speaking to the media. Stephen's reaction satisfied the team's press officer. Such a young guy can deal with the media so maturely. The performance on the Internet is so mature.

After playing the Lakers, the Spurs only had one day off before going to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. Players from the same division need to meet three times a season. The last time was an away game, and this time it was also an away game. The Spurs went through a fierce battle. After the fight, with 27 seconds left in the game, the two teams tied at [-] and the ball was still in the Mavericks' side. At this time, the head coach Popovich called the last timeout and sent Stephen to the field. Facing Dirk Nowitzki, who had no way to defend the whole game, Stephen made a sudden save and successfully stole from him, but Tony Parker's foolproof fast-break layup missed. Fortunately, Stephen, who followed closely, made a tip-up, leaving only two seconds for the Mavericks.

There is only time for the last attack, and the Mavericks have no chance to timeout. They can only serve from the baseline. Two seconds are only enough for the receiver to do one action, which is shooting. Most of the Spurs' attention is on the ball. On Nowitzki, who knew that the ball was sent directly to Daniels. Stephen happened to defend him. Before he could shoot, he poked the ball down. The whistle for the end of the game was blown immediately. No, I didn't give the Mavericks a chance. Stephen didn't have much playing time in this game, but in the last 27 seconds, he proved himself with two steals and one putback.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Spurs will return to home against the visiting 76ers, and then fly to Orlando to play an away game, and then continue to have two home games, one away game, one home game and one away game. This kind of toss comes and goes The schedule to go made the players feel uncomfortable the most, but the players had no choice.

On the second day of the Mavericks game, Stephen took the taxi he already used to go to Tony Parker's house. This evening Tony Parker invited some teammates to his house for a "romantic night" dinner. The team's recent main force was also invited to participate. In the car, the driver asked casually. After knowing the purpose of Stephen's action today, he saw that Stephen went to participate empty-handed, and couldn't help reminding Stephen.

Stephen really didn't know this, but there was a well-informed driver next to him, who pointed him to a store and bought a bottle of high-end French red wine worth more than 200 dollars. Li was still carrying a gift, and seemed very happy. He summoned a blond beauty to take it, and then led Stephen to the small garden behind, where Duncan and Bruce Bowen were already waiting.

Parker continued to stay in front and waited for the arrival of the guests, while the blond beauty was busy there like a hostess. Although he knew it was impolite, Stephen still pointed at her curiously and asked in a low voice: "Is she Parker?" girlfriend?"

"I don't know. I'm new here too. It's the first time I've seen you." Bruce Bowen was wearing a moon-white suit today. The juice in front of him whispered to Stephen.

"That's Tony's cousin from France." Duncan, who was playing video games, suddenly replied, seeing Stephen and Bruce Bowen looking at him in surprise, Duncan replied with a look of what do you want to do, and then told them Two: "I only found out after asking Tony just now."

After a while, Tony Parker walked in with Brent Barry. Brent Barry was wearing a black suit, and the white man was wearing a black suit, which matched Bruce Bowen's white suit. Seeing this, Parker's cousin With a fluttering smile, it suddenly bloomed like a flower, so delicate and beautiful.

"This is my cousin Catherine Laurinda, who will come to the United States to study next year, so she will come here to live for a while in advance. She wants to meet some big basketball stars. I said I can invite you to my home. If she doesn't believe me, I will prove it. Show them." After Brent Barry came over, Parker stayed here, it seems that he only invited these four teammates, and then the blonde beauty also sat down, and Parker immediately introduced to everyone.

"I like basketball very much. Can you please sign me?" Catherine took a hardcover notebook and handed it to everyone one by one. Stephen was naturally the last one, but after Stephen signed his name, Catherine asked suddenly: "Aren't you Chinese? Can you sign me a name in Chinese characters? I am very interested in oriental culture."

Just as Tony Parker was about to tell her that Stephen is an American, Stephen had already written his Chinese name on it. Although it is difficult for Stephen to write an article in Chinese, it is not a problem to write his name , after Stephen finished writing, Catherine immediately held it in her hand and read it with interest.

"By the way, Stephen, you signed a two-year contract, and you have to stay here for at least two years. You can't rent a house all the time, and if you keep renting a house, the fans will think that your mind is not completely in this city, yes You will have a little opinion, and at the same time you feel that you still need a car." After chatting for a few words, Brent Barry suddenly said to Stephen.

"I've been preoccupied with competition and training every day, so I don't have time to worry about these things." Stephen explained distressedly, except for the competition, he spent all his time on training, so he didn't have time to find a house and buy a car.

"You can ask your agent to help you. You don't pay him for nothing." Bruce Bowen said next to him. At this time, Parker's little cousin Catherine suddenly said: "I just want to Stay here for a long time, how about I help you?"

"Ah! How can you be so embarrassing? Let my agent come." Stephen thought to himself that since he came to San Antonio, he felt unfamiliar with the place. You, a little French girl, can you handle things like buying a house, Stephen Very skeptical, but it's not easy to refuse forcefully.

"It's okay, he can help you, and I can help you. It's up to you to choose at that time. I can design professional ones, and I am very proficient in this." Catherine refused to let it go, she wanted to be here After staying for two months, I felt that I had nothing to do, so the matter came to my door, and I immediately said it enthusiastically and could not refuse.
