After the team doctor's inspection, both of them were fine, but the referee did not let them go so easily. Although Stackhouse's actions were very conspicuous, Stephen's actions were also very retaliatory. In the end, the two Each individual has a physical foul. Since both sides have a physical foul, there are no free throws, and the ball is transferred to the Spurs.

After the Spurs started to attack, just after halftime, Van Exel saw Stephen who was asking for the ball at the top of the free throw line. Tony Parker shook his hand and passed the ball long. Howard, he can switch positions to defend Stackhouse, but Stackhouse would not dare to come and defend him alone.

After half a year of the season, when he faced Stephen again, Josh Howard felt that Stephen seemed to have grown in strength again. It was already scary enough, but now it was even scarier. Josh Howard didn't want to confront Stephen head-on, so he took a step back. Trying to lead Stephen to the inside, but Stephen is no longer the former Stephen. As soon as Josh Howard made room, Stephen raised his hand and shot.

As the ball flew into the basket neatly, Stephen looked at Josh Howard and Stackhouse with contemptuous eyes, turned and left, when did this kid learn to shoot, Josh Howard thought depressingly, no Everyone will do their homework in advance for their own defensive targets, and Josh Howard's defense is more willing to trust his own body.

After coming back, Nowitzki made an iconic golden rooster and made a one-step hit inside the three-point line. Then, during the Spurs' offense, the ball was touched by the Mavericks' "second center in the league" Dampier. The Spurs re-served the ball. At that time, Michael Finley's shot fell into the hands of Muhammad without touching the basket. Muhammad didn't find a chance to make a shot, and passed the ball to Stephen on the outside.

At this time, there were only six seconds left in the attack time, and Stephen shook twice. Seeing that Josh Howard had learned his lesson and no longer gave himself room to shoot, he had to step back and force a shot. Who knew Stephen would not hold it. What hoped for a shot unexpectedly went in.

Josh Howard is really speechless for being able to score such a long three-pointer. He can’t defend to the midfield. While running Josh Howard is still looking at Stephen. When will this guy even practice three-pointers? Well, after coming back, Stackhouse made a three-pointer at the same spot, and after making the shot, he deliberately ran in front of Stephen.

At this time, Stephen is feeling the strange sensation in his hands and body, like trembling, swelling, and beating in a very rhythmic rhythm. What does it feel like?Stephen slowly closed his eyes and experienced.

This is the feeling of shooting. In a split second, Stephen understood it. His act of closing his eyes and meditating in the center of the court aroused the attention of many people. Discussing, what is this guy doing standing there, the team is about to start attacking.

Before Popovich called him, Stephen opened his eyes, and then walked quickly off the court, passing Tony Parker like a gust of wind, and at the same time took the ball from Tony Parker's hand, seeing him There was no sign of stagnation in his footsteps, Josh Howard bravely greeted him, but who knew that Stephen did not choose to resist as before, but seemed to turn sideways, avoiding Josh Howard's defense, and then quickly walked again Killing to the inside, Dampier had already stood up at this time, blocking Stephen's way forward.

Just when everyone thought that Stephen was going to hit hard, Stephen stopped unexpectedly, then jumped hard, and threw the ball in with a high throw. Dampier just stood there stupidly, without any Let alone him with this kind of shot, even if Bradley starts again with a big bamboo pole, it is impossible to touch such a ball.

Nowitzki came back and used his footsteps to beat Oberto. Oberto followed two or three steps and was shaken by Nowitzki and lost his defensive position. Nowitzki ended the attack with a jumper when he reached the inside. It doesn't make any difference which method you take.

The Spurs are still advancing at their own pace, Stephen ran over early to get a position, Josh Howard is still closely behind him, and he scored three consecutive goals, Josh Howard can He didn't want to be scored by Stephen in the fourth, and he was already prepared in his heart. Now if Stephen still attacked, he would rather make a foul and make him free throw than let him score again.

But things didn’t go as planned. When Stephen was running to the outside, he suddenly turned around and returned to the inside again. Josh Howard was only a step slower, but Stephen used Muhammad to block his pursuit. At this time, Tony Parker’s ball was high A pass came from the high ground, and Stephen jumped into the air lightly, patted the flying basketball with his hand, and the basketball immediately fell into the basket obediently.

This is a fresh version of the alley-oop, which looks extraordinarily elegant and stretched, and after Stephen finished the action, he still flew forward for a certain distance before landing, it seemed that flying was his instinct, or Gravity has no effect on him.

Although the Spurs scored a goal, the Mavericks also completed the offense. Nowitzki suddenly passed the ball to Josh Howard, and Josh Howard immediately passed it to Stackhouse. Si immediately broke through the basket with the ball and barely completed a dunk with a hard jump.

With four consecutive offenses and a three-pointer, Stephen just got nine points. Adding the nine points in the first half, Stephen has already scored eighteen points. Howard, Stephen used his good tricks, singled Josh Howard with his back, and immediately hit Josh Howard with left and right blocks, struggling to cope.

Sensing a figure approaching behind him, Stephen immediately turned to the other side, and pushed Josh Howard to the position behind him. Before Dampier, who was about to double-team, came back to his senses, Stephen immediately raised his hand and made a small hook Hand, scored two points again.

The Mavericks' offense finally missed once. Although Nowitzki ran out of position, his shot missed the basket. When he came back, Stephen wanted to single Josh Howard again, but Josh Howard hugged him, and then threw him to the ground. , although he didn't succeed, he succeeded in angering Stephen.

But before Stephen could argue with him, the referee came over and gave Josh Howard a foul and awarded Stephen two free throws. Stephen's free throws became more accurate at this time. All free throws were made.

22 points, and this is only half of the third quarter. If Stephen is allowed to continue to score like this, it seems that the Mavericks' defense is too poor. Who knows that after Stephen received the ball again, he suddenly threw the ball It was handed over to Michael Finley on the other side, and Michael Finley immediately made another shot from outside the three-point line.

After successfully focusing all his attention on himself, Stephen began to either directly assist his teammates to score, or create opportunities for teammates through running positions and screens. It was very quiet for a while, but in the third quarter Towards the end, Stephen suddenly scored another dunk and caused a foul by Josh Howard.

After making the free throw, Stephen's score increased to 25 points, but Stephen was not satisfied with this, and was still looking for opportunities to score. At this time, the Spurs had already led the Mavericks by more than ten points.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs replaced all the main players at the beginning, and let Ginobili play with a substitute lineup. However, their strength still seemed to be slightly inferior to the opponent, and they were hit by the Mavericks several times in a row. Their offense was defended by the Mavericks, and the gap between the two sides immediately became smaller and smaller.

After playing for 3 minutes, the Spurs replaced the main force again. This kind of substitution method is rarely used by the Spurs, and I don’t know why it is used now. Johnson looked and looked, thought and thought, but he didn’t understand it. What's going on, I have no choice but to stay the same and continue to stick to the current style of play.

Muhammad had just entered the court, his hand was probably a little raw, a ball that must be scored was dunked by him and flew out, the ball was immediately held by Stephen, Stephen immediately got up and dunked, and scored again, at this time the audience went crazy The same cheers for Stephen.

When it comes to the Spurs' offense again, Stephen made a cooperation with Duncan, got enough space and position for the shot, then got up and made a jumper, and added two points to his own score, 29 points. In other words, Stephen Already scored [-] points in the second half.

Stephen's performance did not end here. After the Mavericks made a three-pointer from the outside by Nowitzki, the ball came to Stephen's hands again through rotation. Stephen chose to shoot outside the three-point line at this time. Sh Howard no longer had the confidence and will to defend him, he just raised his hand in a coping manner and let Stephen shoot the ball.

Johnson also saw that there was a problem with Josh Howard's state, but there was no good solution. If he was replaced directly, the shadow of failure might be left in his heart, but if he was not replaced, he could only stand helplessly. Watching him being destroyed by Stephen, he was Johnson's best striker against Stephen in the playoffs. He was hit hard in this game, and I don't know if he can recover.

After the game, Stephen, who scored 39 points, seven rebounds and four assists, deliberately got lucky from Stackhouse's side, and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This performance is enough to win the best rookie award." ?” Then Stephen went directly to celebrate with his teammates, no matter how ugly Stackhouse’s face was.

39 points is Stephen's new high score, but the key is not this, but Stephen scored [-] points in the second half. This is a very rare statistic. After the whole game, the person who can score [-] points Not much, Stephen scored [-] points at halftime, which is indeed a sensation.
