Chapter 984



The fans of Seattle or the Supersonics are naturally very happy to watch, but apart from them, no matter if they are Magic fans or neutral fans, they are very dissatisfied with this kind of game, it is too unintensive, It's too unchallenging, and it looks like the Orlando Magic have nothing to fight back. What's the point of such a finals.

Blame the neutral fans for being dissatisfied. What they want to see is a bloody duel, a real confrontation with real knives and guns, and goals from you to me. In the current finals, none of these can be mentioned , It's even a little far behind, which naturally makes the fans a little unhappy, such a one-sided game really makes people uninterested.

Stephen is still fighting against the entire Orlando Magic team. It doesn't seem to affect Stephen at all as to who is shooting and who is defending. He only follows his own feeling and rhythm. Score.

Hido Turkoglu and Rashad Lewis went down to rest, and replaced ** Redick and Dwight Howard. The Magic wanted to use Marcin Gortat to help Dwight Howard open the situation inside, but the Sonics At the same time, Yao Ming was replaced here, Serge Ibaka was replaced, and the double-tower lineup was re-keyed, which made the fans in Seattle shout very excitedly.

The Western Conference Finals were so fierce that the Sonics didn't use such a lineup. They even put up the twin towers that bluff people more than they are useful against the Orlando Magic. Is this a kind of emphasis or a kind of contempt? It's just that no one dares to think deeply. [

Yao Ming and Coupard are standing there, not to mention Dwight Howard, even Massing Gortat can't squeeze in. Now the basket is like a heavy press. Whoever goes in is the only one. As a result of being able to be squeezed into meatloaf, Marcin Gortat still has the ability to shoot from the outside. The more flexible Coupard is responsible for defending him, while Dwight Howard is still defended by Yao Ming, who tried two shots in a row They didn't make any shots, and the third time was okay, causing Yao Ming's foul, but Dwight Howard only scored one of two free throws, wasting a great opportunity.

Stephen tirelessly checked his own scoring data, and occasionally counted assists. Up to now, he has 26 points, four rebounds and six assists. The halftime is not over yet, and he is already a proper All-Star data, but In the case of a relatively strong team lineup and a relatively large lead, Stephen gradually began to pay attention to sharing the ball with the team.

**Redick is the only player in the Orlando Magic lineup who can score normally. When he was in the college league, he was the top guard at the time. His three-pointers even broke the college league's personal record. Perfect offensive shooting ability, and he can run tirelessly at the same time, but his physical fitness is average, his running and jumping ability is not strong, and his height is not too good, his defense is weak and he has no passing ability. For a 1.9 meter For three players, it is a bit too unacceptable, which makes him not very promising in the draft. In the end, the Houston Rockets, who are very interested in him, chose Rudy Gay and traded it for Sean Batty. Er, and he fell to the No.11 position and was selected by the Magic.

With his shooting ability, he should be able to give full play to his personal ability when he comes to a team like the Magic that mainly focuses on three-pointers, but just like Steve Novak, his physical confrontation ability is in this He was extremely uncomfortable in the level of competition, which affected his shooting percentage. He barely made more than [-]% of his mid-range shots and less than [-]% of his three-point shooting. The disadvantage of being unable to defend is real, so he doesn't have much chance to play.

But when the rest of the team doesn't feel very good, and when the opposing player is Russell Westbrook, who is of similar height and not too strong, ** Redick's shooting ability has been presented. It can be said that If it weren't for his unreasonable three-pointers in the last few minutes, the Sonics could have widened the point difference to 25 points in one go.

At the end of the first half, the Sonics were 73 to 51, leading the Orlando Magic by 22 points. Stephen's personal data came to 29 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Yao Ming's personal score also came It reached over [-], and none of the Magic scored [-] points. As for Dwight Howard, who had high hopes before the game, except for the first goal, all other points came from free throws. He scored seven points and four in total. Rebounds are only one-third of Yao Ming's points.

During the intermission, many media commented on the first half, praising the Sonics overwhelmingly and criticizing the Orlando Magic. At this time, the media no longer talked about the topic of the best center matchup, but introduced The strengths of the Sonics, other teams should learn from the experience of the Sonics and build a lineup with one player as the core. They should not pile up stars, but forget that in the eyes of many people, the Sonics are Pile up stars, because there are now two and a half All-Stars in the team.

After the start of the second half, Stephen did not play, but sat on the sidelines to rest, which made the Magic fans involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy did not play, otherwise the game would be even less suspenseful.

However, with Yao Ming and Kevin Durant on the court, the game is also not very easy to play. When Stephen is not on the court, Kevin Durant takes over the heavy responsibility of the outside offense, and the cooperation with Yao Ming inside can be regarded as complementing each other. Orlando After the Magic team adjusted and rested, their three-point shooting sense recovered to a certain extent, and even brought the score within [-] points at one point, but Russell Westbrook made strong consecutive breakthroughs to the basket to score points, breaking the score. Pull away again.

Facing Russell Westbrook, Jamal Nelson's physical disadvantage was too obvious, almost without any resistance. Stan Van Gundy saw the problem, so he replaced Jamal Nelson and replaced him with Ralph Alston , although Ralph Alston's physical confrontation ability is also not strong, but it is better than Jamal Nelson, and in terms of defensive effort, how can players who have been trained under Jeff Van Gundy be worse.

After switching to Ralph Alston, it is much better than before, but Ralph Alston’s breakthrough ability is not as strong as Jamal Nelson, but Sheng’s outside shooting is relatively stable. In fact, Ralph Alston was also a nerve knife before. , but it has gradually matured in the past two years.

The Supersonics failed to further widen the score, but the Orlando Magic also tried their best to narrow the point difference. The two sides fell into a stalemate. With so much behind, the stalemate has been going on, and the Orlando Magic must be in a hurry.

Throughout the third quarter, Stephen didn't play, but sat and watched all the time. The scores of the two sides were sometimes close a little bit, and sometimes they were pulled a little bit apart. Anyway, the 20-point difference has never been broken. Orlando The Magic team is slowly getting anxious, and the pace of the game is slowly accelerating. For a team that relies on touch to make a living, this is not a good thing, but they can't help them not to do that, because they are behind [-] The multi-point difference entered the fourth quarter, and when Stephen returned to the court, the Magic had no chance.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stephen returned to the court. As soon as he entered the court, Stephen came up and grabbed two rebounds, and then he assisted Kevin Durant and Earl Watson to score shots respectively. A mid-range shot After that, Stephen's personal data came to 31 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. With basically one quarter left, the triple-double was very promising, and the fans shouted frantically.

Stephen didn't care about this, but continued to perform at his own pace, scoring, rebounding, and assisting all at his fingertips. Driven by his strength, the Sonics quickly widened the point difference to [-] points. At this time, His score has quietly received forty points, and at the same time, his assists have also reached eleven points, and if there is one more rebound, he has already reached a triple-double.

At this time, Kevin Durant's shot hit the basket, and then came back from a distance, just in front of Stephen. After Stephen received the ball, he didn't stop any movement. He received the ball, raised his hand, and shot in one go. , not only raised his own personal data to 41 points, but also got a triple-double of [-] plus.
