Stephen took Manu Ginobili, Robert Horry, Nesterovic, and Udic onto the court. Van Exel was still on the injured list, so although Udic was useless, Bo Povic still has to use him, and Nesterovic has been placed on the bench since the last time he annoyed Popovich with his attitude. I don't care, Popovich, who was originally punished, was even angrier when he saw him, and he never returned to the main lineup.

Although the two are not in a direct confrontation, the rebroadcast camera is still aimed at Stephen and Chris Paul. Seeing Chris Paul there is unusually experienced and taking control of the ball is very good for Stephen. A feeling of holding the wisdom pearl, seeing that it has been gone for a while, this guy has improved again.

This kind of feeling like everything is under control, Stephen has never seen it in Tony Parker, but Ginobili always has such an aura in his body, of course, Duncan doesn’t need it Having said that, the aura is bigger than Chris Paul, but it is always covered by his dull image.

Udic stood in front of Chris Paul nervously. When he was sitting off the court just now, he lost confidence in defending Chris Paul. He couldn't catch up with Tony Parker's speed. His own speed was faster than Parker's. Even slower, how could it be prevented.

Facing Udic, who was not too confident at first glance, Chris Paul’s eyes flashed with contempt, and he suddenly accelerated to the bottom line. Just after Udic chased him, he turned back again and passed the ball to Ke Knyder, he also knows that the focus of this game is the confrontation between himself and Stephen, but the two have no match-up relationship, so he can only pass the ball to his teammates and let the teammates compete with each other. As for Udy in front of him Qi, an unknown person, even bullying him doesn't give him any sense of accomplishment.

Kirksnyder is an outside player with outstanding physical fitness. He was once the favorite of the NCAA and had a dream of superstar glory. However, after being selected by the Jazz with the No.16 pick in the first round, The Jazz had a decent rookie season, averaging 13 minutes per game, averaging five points per game, and then being sent to the Hornets. This encounter hit him a lot.

No matter what the draft pick is, as soon as he arrives at the team, he will be recognized by the head coach immediately, and then he will turn the tide, save the team from the fire and water, and then get a maximum salary contract, gain countless endorsements, and become an All-Star. Before entering the league, everyone had a dream, but the reality is often not so beautiful.

Snyder has a strong enough body to fight against most outside players in the league. At the same time, he is very active defensively. If he concentrates on developing in the direction of defense, he is likely to become a physically strengthened version of Bruce Bowen, but in the Hornets The team does not have such a role positioning, but treats Snyder as a tough player. Although playing time is a little more than that of the Jazz, and the scoring has also increased, it is not suitable for Snyder's development. , and Snyder also played very awkwardly.

Although relying on his explosive body, he was very threatening to break through, but his poor shooting touch offset his advantage in breakthrough, not to mention that he lost his advantage when he met Stephen. Trying all his strength and not squeezing Stephen's defense, Snyder had to hand the ball back to Chris Paul.

The meaning is nothing more than that, you can’t hit here, you can think of other ways, although Chris Paul passed the ball, but he has been paying attention to this side while running, seeing that even Snyder’s body is not Stephen’s Opponents, he has a very intuitive understanding of Stephen's strength. You must know that Snyder will not fall behind even against the inside players of the team.

Chris Paul did not attack by himself, but transferred the ball to Rasu Butler on one side. Rasu Butler lived up to Paul's pass and hit with his hand, adding an assist to Paul. After returning, After Ginobili's transfer, the ball came to the hands of Stephen, the first offensive point of the Spurs' bench.

Stephen held the ball in one hand, and tentatively pushed forward, feeling the power of Snyder in defense. Yes, Stephen quickly took back his steps, and seemed to find that he was unable to make a breakthrough, and was ready to adopt other offensive methods. But at this time, Stephen broke through and moved forward again. Taking advantage of Snyder's recovery of old power and the lack of new power, he squeezed Snyder away abruptly, reached the top of the free throw line and scored a jumper.

It was the Hornets' turn to attack, and the ball came into Snyder's hands again. Stephen let it go on purpose. After landing, Stephen caught up with the ball like a wind and motor, and ran towards his own court. At this time, a figure suddenly passed by, chasing towards Stephen.

Chris Paul's speed is indeed very fast, especially when Stephen is still in control of the ball. Just as Stephen ran within the three-point line, Chris Paul chased him, as he had seen Stephen farther from the free throw line. Jumping and dunking, he reached out and caught Stephen's arm without waiting for Stephen to take off.

Stephen was already ready to take another step and take off. Being pulled by Chris Paul, it was impossible to take off, but he couldn't stop his footsteps. He dragged Chris Paul down abruptly, and then dragged him Run to the basket.

No way, Chris Paul knew that Stephen was very powerful, so he pulled Stephen tightly, and stretched his arms directly into Stephen's arms. Once entangled, there was no way to let go. When Chris Paul got up from the ground After that, I suddenly felt that my arm belonged to someone else, and I didn't feel any sensation at all.

Seeing that the boss was at a disadvantage, the Hornets all surrounded them, especially Snyder, who was blocked just now, rushed to the front, but everyone knew that it was not worthwhile to find a technical foul because of this, technical foul The free throws he made were made by himself, so most of them were just for show, and there was no real action.

Faced with the siege of Stephen, he was naturally fearless. He had a clear conscience. It was Chris Paul who fouled him, not himself. At the same time, players from the Spurs also came to cheer for Stephen, and the referee quickly ran away. Came over, gave Snyder a warning, and quelled the dispute on the field.

Although Chris Paul started fouling before Stephen attacked, but since there are no defensive players in front of Stephen at this time, as long as you foul, you interrupt the offense, so Stephen still needs to make two free throws, but for Chris Paul For him, it is still worth it. There is still the problem of making free throws, and if Stephen dunks one, it will also be a blow to morale.

He earned it. Stephen only scored one of two free throws, and he scored the second one. He directly gave the ball to the Hornets. The Hornets served the ball. Chris Paul continued to organize the offense. Chris Paul passed the ball quickly. At halftime, seeing that the Spurs' defense line didn't seem to be fully established, they immediately sped up and rushed towards the basket without hesitation.

Nesterovich's retreat speed has been even slower since being criticized by Popovich. He didn't completely put him in the cold palace, but he was no longer optimistic about him in his heart, and if possible next season, he would find another backup center.

Chris Paul took advantage of Nesterovich just running into the basket, before he was in position, and at the same time blocked the path of Robert Horry, suddenly accelerated and got rid of Udic. Mushy defense, rushing to the basket, Nesterovic looked like he was covering for him.

Chris Paul still wanted to go further to the basket for a layup, which would be safer, but as soon as he rushed past Nesterovic, a figure appeared in front of him, it was his confidant Stephen, Chris Paul was not sure that he would succeed in a layup under Stephen's defense, so he might have used his dexterity to make a large-angle turn, slipped the bottom line and turned outside.

Stephen followed directly. Facing Stephen's tenacious defense, Chris Paul tossed and turned several times but failed to find a chance to make a shot. He barely made the shot and was worried about being blocked. After all, with his height and Stephen's height and bounce, he barely made the shot. Shooting is dangerous.

Chris Paul passed the ball to Rasu Butler on the outside. Rasu Butler's small forward's size had an advantage over Ginobili, so he directly forced Ginobili and killed him in the three-second zone. But suddenly he was blocked by a person, it was Stephen who rushed over from the other side again.

Rasu Butler knew Stephen's defensive power, and immediately passed the ball to Chris Paul who was in the open position. It was said that this was a good choice, but because his passing intention was too obvious, Stephen reached out and blocked it. Hit the ball off the baseline.

The ball is still owned by the Hornets. Aaron Williams of the Hornets served from the sideline. Stephen stood in front of him and interfered with his serve. Although he had already sent the ball high, he still underestimated Stephen's bounce. The ball was once again knocked out of the sideline by Stephen's interference.

The Hornets served again, but they only had four seconds to attack. As Chris Paul made a hasty shot and missed, Stephen jumped up and held the ball in his arms, followed by Ginobili and Udic in the third line. Next, after scoring the ball back and forth, Stephen dunked successfully.

The Hornets' offense was stopped by Stephen again, the rebound was caught by Stephen again, and Stephen hit a shot. In the next few rounds, Stephen's name kept appearing from the commentator's mouth. Appearing at both ends and in every corner of the court, it is like becoming the ubiquitous Specter. This is Elliott's new nickname for Stephen.
