After losing to the Seattle Supersonics, the Spurs ushered in the challenge of the Toronto Raptors. This season, the Raptors, under the coaching of Sam Mitchell, led by "Dragon King" Chris Bosh Xia played very well, and his current record ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference, with the Heat below him.

In this game, the Raptors have center Nesterovic, power forward Chris Bosh, and the small forward is Garbajosa, who shines in the World Championships and is [-] meters tall. The lineup puts a lot of pressure on the Spurs.

The Spurs really can't cope with such a lineup. Bruce Bowen has nothing to do with Garbajosa. He just stands there and shoots. You don't even have a chance to seal it. Not very good, but the defense is quite good, limiting Duncan well, and Chris Bosh is a teasing Oberto.

On the outside, the Spurs can take advantage of Ginobili, but Ginobili's condition is not very good. When the Raptors replace this year's No. At that time, their advantage in the interior became more obvious. Fortunately, the appearance of this year's rookie Matt Bonner slightly curbed his performance.

The Spurs played very hard. Although relying on their housekeeping skills to defend and did not lose, they were barely able to maintain a lot of pressure. The Dragons pulled away, and in the last quarter, Duncan began to show off in the low post, but the Raptors quickly sent Nesterovic up.

After Nesterovic left, the Spurs began to lack the ability to defend in the low post. Now some players cannot provide such ability. In many cases, Popovich had to ask Duncan to defend in the low post, which greatly wasted Duncan physical strength.

Duncan's low-post defense ability is better than Nesterovic, but low-post defense has to deal with big tonnage and powerful insiders like O'Neal and Yao Ming, which consumes a lot of energy. If Duncan is placed in the low post , The Spurs' tactics are missing many links.

But Popovich has no good solution to this. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer players with height and strength who can stand up to others. Why does Nesterovich not want the Spurs? For the Spurs, he will always be the person responsible for carrying those big muscles and sticks, and the Spurs don't allow him to be lazy or relax, so he went to the Raptors.

In the end, the Spurs still lost the game, which also caused the Spurs to slip to the seventh position in the West again, and the Sacramento Kings behind were only one and a half games away from the Spurs. For the Spurs, the only The good news is that Stephen will be able to appear on the court in one more game.

As for whether he can help the team reverse the current unfavorable situation, basically no one will doubt it. He is not a truce due to a serious injury, but has been suspended, and he has been training continuously during the suspension period, so there is no need to doubt his state.

After losing the game against the Raptors, the Spurs then ushered in the challenge of the Orlando Magic in the East, relying on the performance of Duncan with 31 points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists and Ginobili with [-] points and [-] assists , The Spurs defeated the Magic very hard. After the game, both Duncan and Ginobili were exhausted. When they walked in front of Stephen, Ginobili said to Stephen: "The next game is up to you gone."

Duncan also patted Stephen on the shoulder. With the state of the two of them, coupled with the back-to-back schedule of home and guest, the opponent is not a team like the Houston Rockets. When the two teams meet, it must be defensive. Competition, and such a game particularly tests the physical strength of the players.

Stephen smiled. I just found out when I talked with Yao Ming on the phone before the game that he will also come back in the next game. This is a good thing. Two people come back in a game at the same time, which can be regarded as a very hyped topic.

Sure enough, one side was the finals MVP returning to the court after 35 games, and the other side was the team's star center returning from injury after 31 games. This game immediately attracted a lot of media attention. At the same time, it was originally not planned to broadcast the game nationwide, so espn also made temporary adjustments, changed the broadcast plan, and put aside the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, which was a pair of down-and-out duo, and broadcast it. this game.

Not to mention the domestic TV stations. After getting the news that Yao Ming was preparing to come back, they decided to broadcast the game. The Rockets game has always been the focus of their broadcast, and the Spurs game is ranked second. Now that the two teams have met together, it is even more necessary to switch.

Stephen was put in the starting lineup for the first time in the game. It can be seen that Popovich has a lot of confidence in him. Perhaps this is the reason why the Spurs have no capital to squander. In addition, the Rockets are now ranked The fourth position in the West, and the second in the Southwest season with the Spurs, happened to be on top of the Spurs. For such a direct opponent, the Spurs had to win.

The Rockets did not put Yao Ming in the starting lineup as soon as he came up. Van Gundy used Yao Ming very cautiously. The lineup he put out was still the same as the previous few games. Howard, small forward Shane Battier, shooting guard McGrady, point guard "Streetball King" Alston.

When Stephen officially took the first step on the court, Stephen stopped and exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to let out all the depression of the past two months through this breath, For a player, keeping him out of the field is like keeping a fighter out of the field.

If Stephen hadn't put all his attention on training and watching game videos, and never paid attention to the Spurs games, Stephen would have known how depressed he would be. When he stepped on the court again, Stephen also After making up my mind, I will be more vigilant in the future, so that this incident will not happen again, and at the same time, I will restrain myself, and I will never make such a mistake again.

More than [-] games, the loss is not only the simple salary, but also the loss of commercial image. Although Stephen's counterattack made many fans applaud, but there are also many fans who hold different views on this, thinking that no matter what, Stephen's counterattack A little too much, out of the field.

Even the Wake company sent a data. After Stephen was suspended, the sales of these three sneakers under Stephen's name have declined to varying degrees. , the decline of Ghost Man is the most serious, and now the sales volume from the peak time has been reduced by one-third.

However, Wake Company did not complain about it because of it. Instead, the chairman came to the United States to comfort Stephen. The image quickly improved.

This also made Stephen feel their sincerity. Although Stephen still didn't say anything about the future cooperation, he gave the other party a guarantee in his heart. As long as the conditions are the same, he will give priority to continuing to cooperate with Wake Company.

Back on the court this time, Stephen swore in his heart that he must protect himself in future games, and at the same time, he will not make such mistakes again, at least he will not let the league suspend himself for such a long time, even the All-Star Game I participated in it myself, so why should I let Carmelo Anthony participate.

It's not that he really didn't want to cause trouble and put all his energy into training. Stephen almost wanted to sue the league for racial discrimination, but Stephen also asked his own agent to warn the league. You must know that once this issue is extended to racial discrimination If so, that's a big problem.

The league only discovered this problem after receiving Stephen's warning. Although it is impossible to change the result of the suspension or allow Stephen to participate in the All-Star Game, the two parties have formed a relationship through this contact. Next, take care of Stephen.

With a whistle, the referee threw the ball high into the air. Mutombo lost to Duncan in the pick, but Duncan's ball was first grabbed by Shane Battier, but he didn't wait. Passing the ball, a hand suddenly reached out and stole the ball from his hand.

Looking back, I saw Stephen galloping towards the Spurs' half after controlling the ball. Alstom hurried over to stop Stephen's fast break, but Stephen deftly took the ball around Alston's side, and then the two Stepping out of the three-second zone, he jumped high into the air, held the ball high in his hands like he was smashing Huashan, and dunked it into the basket hard.

While many people were attracted by the momentum of his dunk, some people noticed that Stephen started from the steal and dribbled the ball to the basket in a one-stop process, including the turn when Alston blocked it. It's hard to see in Stephen.

After falling to the ground, Stephen still couldn't contain his passion and impulsiveness. He stood there looking up to the sky and shouting loudly. At the same time, he beat his chest violently with his hands. The huge pounding sound reached the entire audience through the sound collection system. , as loud as the beating of a drum.

Stephen looked around aggressively, like a ferocious tyrannosaurus rex patrolling its own territory. Although the ball frame was high above, it did not weaken his momentum. Instead, it was like a crown on his head, adding to his strength. Majestic and domineering.
