Although the Sonics have been doing well under Stephen's leadership since the start of the season, it doesn't look like a team that has just experienced changes in the team's owner, management, and core, but it is hard to win at home in the first month , and facing the strong teams in the Western Conference without a win, people can't help but doubt his record.

Although everything improved in the later period, the teams that were defeated by the Supersonics did not have any strong teams that could win. In addition, the record of the Supersonics basically relied entirely on Stephen's high points alone. To win the game, and a player's state will always have ups and downs, which is why many experts are not too optimistic about the long-term performance of the Sonics.

Stephen's scoring momentum in the later period began to gradually decline, which seemed to confirm the conjectures of the experts, but the record of the Sonics did not decline because of this, but developed towards a better direction. At this time, many experts quickly changed their words, saying that this is the Sonics The team found their way to victory and found an optimal balance between the team as a whole and Stephen's individual.

This can be regarded as a self-justification, but most experts are still not optimistic about the Sonics. They believe that apart from Stephen's scoring data continuing to decline, the Sonics' record will inevitably decline, because Stephen's too many shots seriously affected the game state of his teammates. However, once he loses his current magic and his teammates can't step up in time, then the Sonics' record will inevitably decline.

Not to mention ordinary people, this kind of argument is quite popular even among Supersonic fans, and some media experts even use this method of reporting based on reliable sources or related sources to say that the Supersonics are already contradictory. There are many, especially between Stephen and Durant, because Stephen's dominance of the ball has suppressed Durant's growth.

He even vividly said that the SuperSonic team has split into two factions. General manager Presti is more optimistic about Durant's development because he is a player he personally selected, while Stephen is more favored by the boss and coaches. Favored, so currently Stephen has the upper hand, but once his condition is not good and the boss Bennett is disappointed with him, his life will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

What is this all about? When Stephen saw it, he felt that whoever thought it up, should write a novel. Stephen and his boss Bennett met once, and they met when they didn’t join the team. And Bennett is not particularly enthusiastic about Stephen, but Presti and Carlesimo have a closer relationship with Stephen. As for Durant, there is no support in the management. Killed him, but there was nothing unusual about him.

And in the Sonics, Durant is the obvious No. [-] player on the team. He is the best second choice whether it is the ball or the number of shots. He has no dissatisfaction with this, and Stephen is He has nothing to complain about if he was overwhelmed by strength instead of relationship.

Strength is the biggest factor that determines the right to speak. Stephen has already proved his strength when he was in the Spurs, but before he joined the Spurs, the Spurs were already a very successful team, so after he joined Finally, although he played a very obvious and indelible role in the process of the Spurs' defending and three consecutive championships, his ability and value are still underestimated.

In the Sonics, after Stephen got unlimited shots and undisputed team status, his ability can be displayed to the greatest extent, and he also used sufficient data to prove his own ability, proving that I have become a player who can save a team by relying on the strength of one person.

It proves that in the summer trading market, all the teams chasing him are very discerning. Although he finally chose the Supersonics for various reasons, the sincerity of the Supersonics is also the most. The team did not come up with more valuable chips to impress him or the Spurs, and now, the teams that must have seen Stephen's performance are regretting it, even the Lakers are no exception.

Jim Buss and Kupchak have discussed several times in private that if Stephen was signed, it would be worthwhile to give up Kobe or trade Kobe to Chicago. After the team's ten years of glory, Los Angeles will usher in another new legend, but it is a pity that they failed to impress the opponent at that time.

The most regretful thing at this time is actually the Magic. They were anxious to spend a lot of money to sign Lewis, signed a first-class player with a superstar price, but gave up a real superstar. This feeling made the general manager of the Magic Several times in the dream, I hated my decision to jump off the building.

**Witch will not regret Stephen's performance, but only regret or sigh, because it is absolutely impossible for the Spurs or himself to treat Stephen like this, and in his mind, he has already traded Stephen to the Sonics. I regret it, I should have traded Stephen to an Eastern team, and it would be better to be a team with no future in sight. Although the current Supersonics are not a big threat to the Spurs, this day they are must come.

The current Supersonic team still has many problems that have not been resolved, and Bennett will not invest heavily in the team, but in the future, **Vich knows Bennett very well. He is a very successful businessman. He doesn't have any passion for basketball. He just treats the team as a business. However, this does not mean that there is no threat. Bennett's great advantage is that although he doesn't understand basketball, he can fully trust others , He once made a condition for **vic in private contact, hoping that **vic could support him to get the Spurs, but **vic did not agree.

**Vich is not too worried about Carlesimo, but he attaches great importance to Presti, because although Presti's understanding of basketball is not consistent with his, but he is a high-level opponent. Under the circumstances, there is no problem for him to let Carlesimo take charge of the team, but once Carlesimo's ability becomes an obstacle to the improvement of the team, he will not hesitate to give up Carlesimo and start anew for the team. The team is looking for a new leader.

**Vich looked at the sunset that was fading away, the orange-red rays of light scattered in the sky, forming various patterns, and reached out to touch the less and less white hair on his head, **Vich could not help but sigh , picked up the glass in his hand, and drank the blood-colored wine in one gulp.

I don’t know when I will be able to give up my love for basketball. At that time, I will be able to appreciate the mellow aroma of wine every day and night. Unlike now, I have to make a choice between wine and basketball. This will make people very uncomfortable. Difficult.

At the same time as **Vich sighed, Larry Bird was also sitting on the balcony of his house, drinking sweet Arabica coffee and looking at the report in his hand. As a more traditional person, although he can also use the computer , but I am more used to reading paper materials.

The information in his hand is some recent team trends and analysis in the league, which happened to allow him to see the analysis of the Supersonic team, which is mixed with a lot of expert opinions and remarks. He likes to use data and videos to analyze, but he doesn't have so much time, so he can only let other people do it and submit it to him, and these people pay more attention to the opinions of these seemingly experts.

The Celtics sneered at this. If experts are useful, then what do they need professionals to do? As a player who has been brilliant since the player era and went to the top of the league, and then proved it in the position of coach and general manager As a man of his own, he has a higher level of understanding of basketball.

In his opinion, if a team wants to succeed, it must have a stable cornerstone, just like the Celtics did to themselves back then. If there is not even a core player to rely on, then the team's plan There is no way to talk about tactics.

Only by determining the core of the team can we make long-term plans based on his playing style and technical characteristics, form a stable and reliable main lineup, and then achieve success after training and tribulations. As for whether we can create greater brilliance, That depends on luck.

The Pacers team I built was once infinitely close to this goal, but it was not as good as the sky. A riot at the Palace of Auburn Hills Arena ruined my hopes, and after something happened, Jermaine O'Neal, the core he had chosen, reacted inappropriately, which eventually caused the separation and collapse of the team, and his years of hard work were ruined.

Since then, Larry Bird has given up on Jermaine O'Neal in his heart, but because his huge long-term contract is not easy to deal with, Larry Bird can only wait for new targets to appear. Stephen in the first season has not yet Enter Larry Bird's sight, because at that time, Stephen's offense was still very immature, no matter what team, there was no reason to have a defensive player as the core.

Until the second season, Stephen used his efficient and stable performance to conquer Larry Bird's critical eyes, but at that time, Larry Bird didn't think that he had snatched the team from ** If there is a chance, **Vichitch is not that stupid and would give up such an excellent player, but Larry Bird couldn't give up his attention to Stephen.

When Stephen was suspended for fighting on the field, Larry Bird felt pity for Stephen's impulsiveness on the one hand, but on the other hand, he felt that he seemed to have a chance, and with Stephen's comeback, although his performance was still is continuing to rise, but through his interaction with Vivic on the court, Larry Bird keenly noticed that the relationship between the two of them did not become closer because of the better and better performance of the players and the team. A faint trace had already appeared between them, and it was still expanding.

Larry Bird was ready to wait for Stephen to come to Indiana, and moved Stephen, but he misunderstood Stephen's character. He thought that since Stephen was ready to leave San Antonio, and his relationship with Vitch was not so good Harmony means that he doesn't want to pay such a big price accordingly. This is the biggest mistake he made, and the current performance of Stephen and the Sonics fully proves his mistake.
