James quickly made another two-pointer and overtook Stephen's scoring again. However, Stephen was not to be outdone. He turned around and hit a jumper near the free throw line, 31 points, tying his own highest scoring record, and There is still more than one quarter in the game.

The two went back and forth like this, and started a point-chasing battle. Of course, the two didn't dominate the ball completely, but they shot relatively more. In this way, at the end of the third quarter, the two scored in double figures. Breakthrough 35 points, and the Spurs still lead by [-] points.

The gap of [-] points, with one quarter left, is not impossible, but if the opponent is replaced by the Spurs who are best at controlling the rhythm, and the main force of the Spurs is still sitting on the sidelines, this hope is basically impossible. It was nothing, but the young and arrogant James was so easy to accept defeat. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers almost gave up defense and turned to offense with all their strength.

Since the Spurs' bench lineup has been exhausted for a long time, they were a bit overwhelmed by their sudden attack, and they were pulled back by five points by the Cavaliers. If they kept playing like this, Popovich didn't intend to Changed to the main lineup. After all, the lure of consecutive away games and back-to-back, everyone is still relatively tired. Only Stephen, a new force, has just joined the team, so Popovich let Stephen play for so long.

Compared with other coaches, Popovich pays great attention to the physical condition and fitness of the players. Once the players are in poor physical condition, he will try to let the players rest off the court. On the one hand, he has a guaranteed record and does not need to consider his own job. The problem, on the other hand, is that these players are more obedient, and they don’t think about the problems of lack of playing time, poor statistics, and inability to get big contracts. The young players are almost all selected from the low picks, and the older ones are all Came for the championship.

Seeing that his substitute lineup was really overwhelmed, Popovich called a timeout and replaced all the players except Stephen, but even if he replaced the main lineup, Popovich still asked the team to play more Hit Stephen on this one point.

Back on the court, the Spurs' defense immediately went up to a new level, resisting the crazy offensive of the Cavaliers. On the offensive, although the coordinators changed, Stephen felt that the offense was more comfortable than before. Soon, the Cavaliers scored an 39-[-] score, and Stephen scored half of the points alone. At this time, Stephen's score in this game has reached [-] points. Seeing that the score gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the game With less and less time, the Cavaliers finally chose to give up the game. Although James was reluctant, after the persuasion of the coach and players, he still walked off the court after making a three-pointer unwillingly.

After he left the field, the Spurs also replaced all the main players. After Stephen left the field, Engelland handed over the technical statistics, and drew a few red lines on the statistics of Stephen and James. Stephen could see it at a glance. The clues, the data obtained by the two people are basically similar, both are 39 points and five rebounds, Stephen has three assists, James has four assists, but Stephen has two steals, James has only one, and the two are respectively Each has two blocked shots, even the number of fouls and turnovers are the same.

"You are so amazing. It's amazing that you can fight against James." Engelland couldn't help praising him. It's so amazing. No one thought that Stephen would be able to win against James in the matchup. The same data, you must know that his original position is only a defensive vanguard, and his task is to defend James.

James is currently the most dazzling new star in the league. In his rookie season, he averaged 27 rebounds and [-] assists per game. He is the third player to get this stat after "Big O" Robertson and "Flying Man" Jordan As a rookie, in his second season, he averaged [-] points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals per game. This is something no one except Jordan can do.

The youngest Mr. [-] points in the league, Mr. [-] points, Mr. [-] points, and Mr. Triple-Double. These series of records all show his ability. He seems to be born to break records, and he will continue to do so in the future. Continuing to break more records, Stephen being able to fully confront him in a game, doesn't it mean that he may become another James, you must know that Stephen is three years younger than him.

Seeing that the Cavaliers had given up the game, the audience started to leave sporadically, but most of the fans still insisted on sitting in their seats and supporting their home team. Although Cleveland is a small city, due to This is the intersection of railways and canals. It used to be the manufacturing center in the eastern United States. After the decline of the manufacturing industry in the United States, the main industries here are mainly finance and medical care. There are many rich people. The home of the Cleveland Consortium, so the ball market here is very good.

Even though they were all on the bench, due to physical problems, the Cavaliers caused a little trouble for the Spurs. With 3 minutes left in the game, the Cavaliers suddenly played a small climax of [-]-[-]. Seeing the momentum of the Cavaliers It was about to get up, Brent Barry made two consecutive three-pointers like a downpour to extinguish the few flames of the Cavaliers, and won the game.

Since the Spurs have to rush to Philadelphia, the home of the next opponent, the 76ers, the Spurs did not stay here much. Even if they were interviewed by the media, they passed by in a hurry. Stephen, who performed on the same field as James, won However, because Stephen has accepted the press officer's advice, he knows that it is not appropriate to say too much to the media in the current situation where the media is still in the limelight, so he just dealt with it casually and left .

It took only half an hour for the plane to land on the land of Philadelphia. Compared with flying from east to west or from south to north, this distance is like the blink of an eye. Stephen soon fell asleep, but I don't know how many people are sleepless about it.

At this time, the boss of Wake Company is secretly glad that the contract was signed early. Otherwise, after the game is over, it will definitely be more than 300 million in two years. It is hard to say that it is more than 500 million. Since both Stephen and James have a huge number of fans in China, in addition to CCTV 1, several local TV stations in China also broadcast the game. The fierce confrontation between Stephen and James gave him a reputation already Adding a layer of halo, James is a recognized superstar, not to mention the No. [-] of the new generation, even compared with Kobe, Iverson, and McGrady, his reputation is even worse. Stephen can Confronting him to this extent truly proved his strength, and there were not a few fans who turned against him because of this.

Seeing that Stephen's reputation is getting bigger and better, and his performance is getting better and better, the business departments of companies such as Nike and Adidas are the most restless. Their consistent business policy is to sign long-term players with a lot of money in advance when they have just shown their potential. contract, and then stipulate various terms. Once the player meets certain conditions, the contract amount will automatically increase. Signed a long-term contract. On the other hand, the value Stephen asked for was higher than his psychological reserve price, so the cooperation was not reached. In their view, Stephen is just a rookie with considerable potential. His performance is better for the time being. It's hard to say what his achievements are. After all, his contract is only two years, and he is not the core of the Spurs' team building. He is still playing on the bench.

They felt that it would be better to deal with it coldly for a while. Even if Stephen performed well, with their finances, it would be easy to pay more money to sign the contract. But who knew that Stephen would suddenly become famous before they started to act. Stephen signed a contract with a Chinese manufacturer.

When they first heard the news, they laughed at Stephen. They really didn’t have a long-term vision, and even signed a Chinese manufacturer. They have only been in this market for a few years. Besides copying their own products What else will they do, besides China, does anyone know their reputation, do they understand business operations, do they know how to package and create a basketball star.

But even though they said this on their lips, they were sour in their hearts. It is a pity that such a player with potential and hype factor has not signed with his own company, but since Stephen has already signed a contract with him, No matter how they think about it, it is useless. They can only ask the business personnel to continue to track Stephen's performance, and at the same time keep in touch with the other party. In case the other party's contract ends or is terminated early, it is better to start early.

But before they regretted it, Stephen used such a performance to prove how short-sighted they were. At this moment, they really wanted to ask Stephen's agent, Mordance, what is the termination fee for your contract? coming.

At the same time, a chain of fitness clubs and equipment manufacturers in Texas was also tempted. After watching the game, the chairman of the company looked at Stephen's fluid sculpture-like body on the screen, and his eyes showed fascination. , and then pressed the remote control, and the whole process of Stephen from riding buckles to back throwing Humphries was played on the screen again. After watching it several times, he picked up the phone and ordered the commercial promotion department below to contact Stephen's agent , See if you can invite the other party to speak for you.

Stephen naturally didn't know what happened. After waking up in the morning, Mordance called and praised his performance yesterday, and told him that several manufacturers contacted him early this morning. I hope to invite Stephen to endorse their products. He will make a form and send the specific situation to Stephen's mailbox later, so that Stephen can take a look at the decision.
