After the start of the regular season, the Sonics did not play very well for a time. In the first game, they challenged the Houston Rockets away and unexpectedly lost the game. Stephen was defending against Ron Artest and Sean Battier. He only scored 21 points, four rebounds and three assists. Except for him, no one on the team scored more than [-] points, but the Rockets' outside performance was very good, and the three-pointers were like rain. When Stephen came off the field in the third quarter, he almost beat the Sonics to the point where they had no power to fight back.

The second back-to-back away game is against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although Seattle is also very cold, it is nothing compared to Minneapolis. Although the target center is not cold, the Sonics feel like It was like being frozen, especially Durant made zero shots from the field. Until the third quarter, the Sonics trailed by [-] points behind the Timberwolves, which didn't even have a star player.

Just when many people thought that today's game would have the same ending as yesterday, Stephen, who couldn't stand the defeat, suddenly broke out and scored nine points in a row in the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, closing the score gap to within ten. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the state of the previous quarter continued, leading the team to a [-]-[-] victory. The Timberwolves had no temper at all, and finally won the game smoothly, avoiding a two-game losing streak. At the same time, it also avoided losing to a weak team like the Timberwolves.

Going back to his own home stadium, the Key Center Arena, although it has been renovated in the summer, the facilities in the arena are still so dilapidated, but for the Supersonics' first game at home this season, the fans still sat down with dignity One is full, but it's a pity that the Sonics' opponent today is last season's championship Boston Celtics.

Regardless of whether you are lucky or play well, if you can win the championship, it means that someone has the strength of the championship level. The state is not very good, and many people wonder whether the Sonics are in the current situation because the pre-season trade affected the preparations.

Especially Stephen's state. From last season to the Olympic finals, his performance has been very good. It can be said that he has been rising all the way, but nothing can continue to develop like this. Regrouping, regaining confidence, and continuing to climb upwards, the same is true for people's state. Many people believe that Stephen's state has reached the peak and is now entering the trough. Although there was an explosion in the last game, but for him In other words, once in a while doesn't mean anything. Last season, he basically played the entire season without any fluctuations.

In fact, this is definitely the case. Stephen himself felt it. In fact, the original state was not like this. However, after seeing what happened to Yao Ming, Stephen also wanted to recharge his energy and let his body take a good rest. In the preseason, Stephen should improve his condition, but because of the need to give new players more time to practice, Stephen almost didn't play well. In the regular season, it is naturally impossible. Immediately raise the status.

But in front of thousands of home fans, under the suffocating and airtight defense of the Boston Celtics, Stephen's state suddenly improved, facing Paul Pierce's defense and Kevin Garrett Nate's assisted defense, Stephen alone is like a heroic knight on the battlefield, galloping across the sword, unstoppable, able to disrupt the defense of the Boston Celtics, which is based on defense, Stephen is No. 1 in the league , This is what the groom Albert who commented on the game said.

He knew that he would offend many players in the league by saying this, but seeing Stephen's unstoppable heroic performance, people still couldn't help but want to praise him. Stephen didn't score many points, and they were not consistent. There are also cases of hits, but it is this momentum that makes people look very scary. No matter how strong the Celtics' defense is, Stephen can penetrate it.

Driven by Stephen, the state of the other players of the Sonics gradually improved, but the defense of the Boston Celtics was full of loopholes because of Stephen's continuous attack. Slowly, the Sonics took the lead.

Although the Boston Celtics are full of resilience and have been chasing and catching up non-stop, Stephen has transformed into a calm commander at this time, firmly controlling the situation of the game, making the Boston Celtics' catching up all the time In vain, despite Ray Allen's three 5-pointers in the fourth quarter, Kevin Garnett's two blocks in the final five minutes, and Paul Pierce's drive to the Sonics' rim again and again, The single-digit point difference has not been able to narrow until the end of the game.

Winning the Boston Celtics is a testament to the ability of the Sonics. It is still the Sonics team with super offense and defense last season. Although the personnel has changed, it does not affect their strength. Influence, and Stephen is still the omnipotent Stephen, and he has not been tired because of the busy summer. If Yao Ming recovers and joins the team, then one can imagine how terrifying such a team is.

Defeating the Boston Celtics gave the Sonics a good start at home and two consecutive victories. After a day's rest, the Sonics went to Salt Lake City, Utah. The Utah Jazz, at home and away, faced the supersonic offensive and lost only half of the game. Although Sloan was yelling and shouting on the sidelines, the players still couldn't mention it. the will to resist.

After the three-game winning streak, the team got another day of rest. Carlesimo gave the players a good day off. After training, Stephen drove to Yao Mingxin's home in Seattle. Although Yao Ming also wanted to He wanted a small island in the middle of the lake like Stephen, but he gave up immediately after inquiring about the price. After realizing that his body was already in a state of risk, Yao Ming became more cautious about spending money, and only chose the island by the lake. A villa with front and rear gardens lived in, but it was less than half an hour away from Stephen's home, of course at the speed of a sports car.

After arriving at Yao Ming's home, he found that not only Chen Yingjie was here, but team doctor Mike Schmonski was also here. After inspection, the cracks on Yao Ming's bones had completely disappeared. Of course, this does not mean that he can have Playing on the court, there is still a long time before that, but there is no problem with normal walking. Team doctor Mike Schmenski told Yao Ming that if there is no abnormality after three days, after another test, he can Started rehabilitation training.

The initial training was mainly to exercise the small muscle groups on the legs and feet. Because of the injury, they have shrunk to some extent. They must be exercised to return them to their original state or even better, so as to protect the bones inside. However, after exercising At the same time, Yao Ming can also do some training without affecting his feet.

Chen Yingjie also said that he has stopped taking traditional Chinese medicine orally now, and the medicine needs to be maintained for a period of time, no more than a month, before Yao Ming can recover to a full state, and according to Yao Ming's recovery, he may even be able to recover. It is possible to advance.

But just to be on the safe side, no one would agree to let him return to the court early. He is now the biggest asset of the Sonics. Ming also seemed very happy, without the frowning faces of the past, the whole family naturally laughed happily.

Carlesimo is already designing new tactics based on Yao Ming's technical characteristics, but unlike Jeff Van Gundy, he does not require Yao Ming to blindly attack in the low post, but requires Yao Ming to have a wider range of activities, so that First, Yao Ming's weight can be further reduced, but for Yao Ming, weight control is not an easy task, because the weight of athletes is not like ordinary people, it is basically muscle, and weight loss and weight gain are not so simple of.

Yao Ming's goal is to reduce his weight to about 280 pounds by the end of this season, and at the same time, the fat content must be further reduced, so as to ensure his power in the low post. Although affected by injuries, Yao Ming still He didn't want to give up the space under the basket that originally belonged to him.

After everyone else left, Yao Ming and Stephen sat in the back garden and started chatting. In addition to this team, there was also that team over there, and they were going to start business cooperation. They also chatted a lot. Being alone in a team really makes people very happy. Although the relationship between Coupard and Stephen is closer, they are more like a younger brother who has no independent opinions, unlike Yao Ming, who is like an older friend.

Both of them are also very optimistic about the prospects of the team, and their expectations for the championship are much higher than before. The Boston Celtics can win it, and other teams can naturally win it, and this is still in progress. When Yao Ming cannot play.

Yao Ming also felt that it was the first time that he was so close to the championship. He had a capable helper who was not injured, and a group of capable teammates who were not old or not. This was a very happy thing. , At this time, Yao Ming didn't feel that it was a mistake for him to leave the Rockets, although there was still a little bit of regret.

The two chatted until late at night before Stephen drove away. When he arrived at the door of his house, he didn't know when Felietta Martin was already waiting there. The two went in hand in hand and enjoyed a passionate night.
