beast basketball

The Suns finally completed an attack, but after returning, Ginobili hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. The cooperation with Ginobili seems to have risen to another level.

Popovich was heartbroken watching off the court, great, this goal deserves a big drink, but you can't see this on his face, only Carlesimo who knows him deeply can know His thoughts, and after the Spurs pulled back the score, the Spurs team did not relax because of this, but became more motivated because they saw the dawn of victory.

Nash made a two-pointer at this time, which stabilized the situation for the Suns, but after returning, Robert Horry made a mid-range shot. Then, taking advantage of the timeout, Popovich replaced Robert Horry. Replaced by Duncan.

As long as the Suns have no problems with Nash, the whole team will have no problems. He is the engine of the team, as well as the soul and brain of the team. After returning, Nash made another two-pointer without hesitation. However, the Spurs also followed Duncan's first goal after hitting the field.

When the two teams played back and forth like this for 3 minutes and [-] seconds, Stephen suddenly made a key steal from Marion and made a contribution, breaking the situation, and with Duncan making another shot Two points, opened the score in one fell swoop.

The two sides have maintained a score difference of four points and two points, and four points and two points. Until the last 32 seconds of the game, Stephen made another shot from outside the three-point line. With Lagabel's three-pointer missing, the Suns lost the game.

Stephen scored 35 points, 35 rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks, especially the crucial steal at the end. Nash also scored [-] points and [-] assists for the Suns. None of the team scored more than [-] points. His teammates were not strong enough to lose the game. The Spurs' defense still played a role.

As Stephen's role in the playoffs is getting better and better, other teams are paying more and more attention to Stephen. The videos of the University of Southern California playing are all collected, trying to analyze Stephen's playing habits and consciousness from them.

But the more they researched, the more surprised they were. Stephen grew up so fast that he didn't look like a person who had never played basketball before, but he was indeed like a beginner at the beginning. How he made such great progress is something that no one can understand.

At the beginning, Stephen was very clumsy whether he was shooting or dribbling. It is said that this is still at the level after intensive basic training, so you don’t have to think about what he looks like. If he is a basketball genius, You don't need to go to college, you can be discovered in high school, nothing else, just because of his body, he shouldn't be so unknown, the high school league is also very developed, unless he didn't play at all in high school basketball.

In particular, the head coach of the Heat, Pat Riley, attaches great importance to Stephen. He believes that Stephen is likely to be the most threatening player for the Spurs to the Heat. The Spurs have Duncan, the Heat also have O'Neal, and the Spurs have Manu Ginobili. , the Heat also have Wade, as for other veteran role players, the Heat have no shortage, but the Heat have no role that can compete with Stephen, rely on Antoine Walker, don't be kidding, he is already Stephen's defeat Yes, that's still an unfinished Stephen.

In order to find out about Stephen's past, Pat Riley even secretly dispatched a private investigator with his own salary. When he got the information about Stephen before college, Pat Riley found it very difficult to understand. In high school, the school team There is no Stephen's name in it at all, but according to the private detective's understanding, Stephen also plays basketball, but not very well, which can correspond to his performance in college.

But what makes Pat Riley puzzled is that, among other things, Stephen in high school is very different from what he is now in height, even less than 1.9 meters. For those who play basketball, some people may be a bit slower in physical development, but Stephen's seems to be a secondary development.

Could it be that after his second development, the height problem that troubled him was solved, and he thought of playing basketball?Pat Riley suspected that, after all, in order not to be known by too many people, the private detective did not make a big effort to investigate, and there was no image or video data of Stephen in the past, and the information obtained only through insinuation was one-sided. , Up to now, Stephen's high school has never thought that this famous Stephen is the Stephen of their school.

Pat Riley found through the information that Stephen has a lot of ties to Los Angeles. He went to school there, his relatives are there, and his friends are also there. Could it be that after Stephen's contract expires, if the Spurs cannot Stephen, will the Los Angeles team be the most likely to get him? Unfortunately, I am no longer the head coach of the Lakers. At the same time, Stephen has nothing to do with Miami. The Charlotte Bobcats can also consider playing a family card .

As the head coach and general manager, Pat Riley’s thinking is very close to Popovich’s. Stephen is good, but his conflict with the original system is also obvious. The appearance of Stephen has affected Tony Parker and Gino Billy, cooperation is not a problem in the short term, but in the long run, players will definitely not want it. Although Stephen is younger and has more potential, no one can be sure whether he can continue to play like this. It is very possible that the championship or lack of motivation after getting a big contract is very likely, and such players have not appeared before.

After this kind of situation happened to the player, the team had no way to influence him at all. He was not in the mood to play, and it was useless for you to say anything. General manager, every time a player with such a big contract and high salary is signed, it is a huge risk.

Some general managers may not need to think so much, but for someone like Pat Riley or Popovich who has an unshakable position on the team, the team is like his own, and he needs to think about it As a result, once the super-large and long-term contract is paid, the team may not be able to turn around for a few years.

But if you don't give it, it would be a pity if a player who is not inferior to the "little emperor" James misses it. Let alone others, Pat Riley himself will regret it from time to time. Why didn't he have it back then? The idea of ​​signing Stephen was not considered at the beginning. Their first-round pick was lower than the Spurs, but they selected Simien and traded the second-round pick in their hands to the Raptors. , so the idea was finally abandoned.

But Pat Riley felt relieved after thinking about it. Even if he had a second-round pick, it was impossible for the Spurs to sign Stephen unless he used the first-round pick, but Simien decided to sign it very early. At that time, in my heart, Stephen was only one of the five candidates, so there was nothing to regret.

However, if the Spurs do not renew or trade Stephen in advance by then, making Stephen a restricted player, then Pat Riley doesn't mind stepping in, so that even if other teams get Stephen, Paying a huge price, as for whether you can get Stephen, sometimes weakening the enemy is also one of the ways to strengthen yourself.

Winning the Suns at home, and not a big victory, there is nothing to be happy about, but the good thing is that the Spurs have firmly grasped their own rhythm in this game and did not run wildly with the Suns, so there is no What is the problem of lack of physical strength, otherwise, playing with the crazy rhythm of the Suns, the old players will be exhausted in less than half a game.

It stands to reason that the Spurs have more players in the rotation, the Suns play an eight-man rotation, and the Spurs have 11 players. If you play at the rhythm that others are accustomed to, you will definitely lose only yourself.

In addition to playing according to oneself, another reason why there is no physical problem is that the confrontation between the two sides is not too strong. The opponent hardly defends when attacking, and does not need to invest too much energy when defending.

So after the game against the Suns, the players felt extremely relaxed, far worse than the half-death after a game against the Mavericks. Although the scores of the two sides were very stalemate, there was no confrontation, and there was no need to fight back and forth among the muscles. Going, naturally makes people feel very relaxed.

In the second game, before the game, it was suddenly reported that Lagabel was injured in his calf and could not play. Now the Suns have a seven-man rotation. In fact, the players are either injured or unusable. When the news came, Popovich had a premonition that this game might be easily won.

Sure enough, Duncan broke out again in this game, scoring 29 and [-] rebounds, and Stephen followed closely with [-], seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Ginobili had [-] points and Parker had [-]. In addition, no one on the Spurs scored in double figures.

The highest scorer on the Suns team is Tim Thomas with 29 points, Diaw with 25 points, Marion with 9 points, Nash with [-] points, and Barbosa, who replaced Lagabel in the starting lineup, with [-] points. , Eddie House, who came off the bench, was finally miraculously gone. He only played [-] minutes and made one of three three-pointers.
