On the bus to the airport, the whole Spurs team was eating the bento bought by Stephen. Just after the home game, the Spurs will rush to Oklahoma City to prepare for tomorrow's away game against the New Orleans Hornets The team's game, but just won the victory, the players are still quite energetic.

The New Orleans Hornets are the original Charlotte Hornets. Stephen’s father took him to a basketball game on his birthday a few years ago, but with the strength of their family, they only sat at the highest and farthest However, the atmosphere at the scene still made Stephen very excited, but this kind of thing only happened once.

Later, due to the conflict between the fans and the Hornets management, the Hornets moved out of Charlotte and came to New Orleans. After the Hornets left, Charlotte reorganized a new team, that is The Bobcats, in this way, just moved the New Orleans Hornets to the West where the strength increased, and a regular player in the playoffs suddenly became a lottery team.

However, Chris Paul, whom they selected in this year's draft, is a very good player. Although the team had to play their home court in Oklahoma City due to Hurricane Katrina, but in Under the leadership of Chris Paul, they have achieved ten wins in the previous 23 games. You must know that they only won [-] games in the entire season last season. Chris Paul also relied on [-] points and [-] rebounds. The average data of seven assists per game and the team's immediate record effect have always ranked first in the rookie list.

Up to now, some experts have predicted that Stephen and Chris Paul will be the two hottest players competing for the best rookie of the season. With more and more playing time, Stephen has gradually raised his average data to the level of Chris Paul. Stephen is in a championship-level team, and the data content of Paul's performance in weak teams is naturally not the same. If the record of the Hornets has also improved significantly, there will be no such thing as Paul.

You must know that Stephen's average playing time is less than 25 minutes per game, and Chris Paul's average playing time is more than 35 minutes per game. It is self-evident to compare who has the highest efficiency, but it is self-evident to compare the level of the two. Whoever is inferior naturally cannot use such a simple method. There is a popular and popular way to see who performs better in the same game. That's how the enemy of who is who is for life.

Just like Duncan and Garnett, the two have played against each other so many times, Garnett always has the data advantage, and Duncan always wins the team, so the conclusion is that Garnett is more comprehensive. , But for a team, Duncan's role is greater.

This is a situation where two people are facing each other. If the two people are not facing each other, multiple factors such as comprehensive data and record need to be considered. Many experts regard the confrontation between the Spurs and the Hornets as the most direct match between the two. The observation field, and even ESPN rarely broadcast the game.

ESPN's gimmick is the "direct confrontation between the two best rookies". The game was broadcast by Mike Tirico and the former Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown. This game is also the only national broadcast in all games today. , so the number of fans watching this game is very large.

Popovich is a very considerate coach. Although the Hornets did not have any strong forwards and guards in this game, before the game, Ginobili felt a little discomfort in his right ankle. After the inspection, Popovich was notified to exclude Ginobili from the lineup. This substitute lineup lacked impact, but Popovich still put Stephen on the starting lineup.

The Hornets still have a regular lineup led by Chris Paul, with center PJ Brown, power forward David West, small forward Mason, and shooting guard JR Smith. The difference is that the bench lineup is slightly inferior. If they are in the East, with their strength, they can definitely enter the playoffs, and even the second round is not a problem, but in the West, they are a bit powerless.

At the beginning of the game, after Stephen met Desmond Mason, he soon discovered that this guy, like himself, also likes to play post-up singles, and he is very good at post-up singles, especially the turn around the basket. His hands were even more accurate, so Stephen tried to imitate it, and ended up hooking the ball directly to the basket.

"Haha, boy, if you want to learn my hand, you can't do it without practicing for three to five years, and you have to have a soft touch. If you can just come and learn it casually, how can I gain a foothold in the league?" Mason laughed immediately, and it was unscrupulous.

"Cut, wait until you practice your three-pointer before saying this." Stephen was not to be outdone, and immediately uttered trash talk, which immediately annoyed Mason, as if stabbing at his sore spot, swinging as a forward People, not to mention less than 12.00% of the three-pointers, and it is still decreasing year by year. Last season, it dropped to a little over [-]%. In Trovic's hand, it looked like a high-throw pass.

"You don't seem to be very good at three-pointers. Your shooting ability has only recently been developed. I heard from Chris that when you were in school, you couldn't even shoot, so you dare to enter the league and become a professional player." Mason couldn't help saying Heard from Chris Paul taunting Stephen.

"Tch, that means I'm improving fast. I learned how to shoot in just two months. Unlike some people, my three-point ability will degenerate." Stephen has long learned how to ridicule people to make people feel more uncomfortable. There was a war of words in the team, and no one was his opponent except Duncan and Robert Horry. Duncan was not talking, but he didn't speak. Whenever he spoke, he either made people laugh or let the scene cool down. Come down, everyone thinks about what he means. In the team, Duncan is the most amusing.

"Boy, do you think you are good at fighting? I have practiced professional wrestling." Merlin secretly flashed his fist at Stephen.

"Really, let's take a look now?" When it comes to fighting, Stephen doesn't fear anyone, and immediately shakes his shoulders, ready to fight. Who knows that Mason suddenly ran to the referee next to him, and the referee did not agree. Knowing what was said, the referee ran towards Stephen and said to Stephen, "Young man, don't provoke others casually."

"He said he had practiced professional wrestling." Stephen said to the referee with great aggrievedness. Who would have thought that this guy who looked like a big and thick guy would sue the referee? It's really cunning, but I have to say, Stephen's innocent expression Still very deceptive, the referee looked at Stephen and ran away again.

"Boy, do you still dare to threaten me? I know you are going to hit me very hard. Do you think I will attack you stupidly? If you have the ability, do it first. Let's see who suffers." Smiling with a punch, Stephen squeezed his fist, suppressed it and held back. After entering the main lineup, now Stephen doesn't dare to fight with others casually. As for the trust, the coach will not trust a time bomb that may explode at any time.

After two or three rounds, Stephen An Ansheng saw that the referee's attention was diverted from his body, so while defending against Mason, he suddenly squeezed his hand into a bird shape, and slammed hard on Mason's waist. When it came, Mason immediately turned his head and swung the ball to hit Stephen.

The referee immediately came over and gave Mason a technical foul, but as if he had discovered Stephen's small movements, or was looking for balance, he awarded a defensive foul to Stephen. The loss was bigger, no matter it gave the Spurs a free throw, it also gave the Spurs a right to the ball.

Both of them received the referee's attention. Although Mason was angry, he didn't dare to move recklessly. After all, he was backed by a technical foul. If there was another one, he would leave the field. The two let go of their grievances After that, they all reached their own level.

This is also the first time Stephen met Chris Paul on a professional basketball court. After his observation, he found that compared with Paul at Wake Forest University, the current Paul is more mature and frightening, making every teammate change. Not to mention his better skills, his personal offensive and defensive abilities have improved a lot. Although Parker's defensive ability is also very good, he obviously cannot limit Paul's passing. Although two assists were not direct assists and could not be reflected in the data, Chris Paul's ability was shown.

On the other hand, Stephen, due to the rivalry with Mason, has not performed well so far. Although the game has only passed more than half a quarter, and for some reason, the fans of Oklahoma City saw Stephen taking the ball. Just boo Stephen all over the place, as if Stephen offended them.

All the Spurs and only Stephen has this treatment. According to this, although the Hornets are home, it is only a temporary home. After playing this season, the Hornets will go back. I don’t know what the Oklahoma City fans are doing so hard. .

Stephen didn't know, since Chris Paul just entered the league this season, and his first professional game was at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, so Oklahoma City's game against the Hornets was just fine. Yes, for Chris Paul, they treated it as their own star. They have always been very dissatisfied with Stephen, a second-round pick who threatened Chris Paul's Rookie of the Year title, thinking that Stephen took the Spurs. Although the Spurs and San Antonio are naturally incomparable with the Lakers and a big city like Los Angeles, they are already considered aristocratic teams compared to the Hornets, New Orleans or Oklahoma City. Is it aristocratic, but also a rich team.
