"Why are you standing in front of me?" Russell Westbrook, who couldn't dodge in time, almost bumped into Coupard. Maintaining the balance of the body, but lost the ball, caused a mistake, and was almost hit by the opponent for a fast break, Russell Westbrook questioned Coupard.

"Uh, I brought it up to cover you, what's wrong with that?" Coupard had a guilty expression on his face, as expected of someone who has stayed at the University of Southern California, the cradle of Hollywood, his acting skills are good, but he can confuse He won the world, but he couldn't confuse Russell Westbrook, who was also born in Los Angeles. Russell Westbrook angrily said to him: "I don't know this at all, you know it in your heart."

"Well then, since you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate." Cooper shrugged and walked away. Russell Westbrook stared at his back and snorted, obviously not paying much attention to Cooper. De seriously, when he came to this team, Coupard was not as important as last season, his role in the team has been reduced to the first substitute inside the team, not like last season The season is the core of the team's interior, so even though he knew that Coupard and Stephen had a better relationship, he didn't care much.

In the next game, the two were completely split, and no one dared to cooperate with the other. Relatively speaking, Coupard did not need the cooperation of Russell Westbrook. Brook's pass, but even when there was no conflict between the two, Russell Westbrook never passed the ball to him. Most of his offenses were rebounds from himself or Serge Ibaka. Passed to him, so on the offensive end, Russell Westbrook suffered a greater loss.

Because Coupard is not alone, he and Serge Ibaka are the team's insider, he does not actively cooperate with Russell Westbrook's offense, and Serge Ibaka does not dare to cooperate rashly , because the two insiders are cooperating with each other, he can't act on his own, and like Coupard, he also follows Stephen, so naturally he has to stand on the same position as Coupard, and at the same time, neither of them follows Larry. Russell Westbrook's cooperation will naturally not make room for Russell Westbrook's breakthrough. In this way, Russell Westbrook's breakthrough will become difficult. [

No matter how capable a player is, without the help of his teammates, it is impossible for him to perform well. Russell Westbrook first got angry at Kurt Thomas, and then questioned Coupard, which seemed to offend him. Everyone on the field except Kevin Durant, even Kevin Durant, was very dissatisfied by Russell Westbrook's behavior, but he didn't show it, and Stephen still stood far away. Hey, even trash-talked Kobe Bryant.

"This young man is so angry. As the boss of the team, you don't care." Kobe Bryant saw that Stephen was still unwilling to participate, so he took the initiative to sow discord.

"It's normal for young people to be angry. Besides, he is our leading hero, why should I care?" Stephen naturally refused to be fooled. Although he didn't find the Lakers' conspiracy, he knew that as a team leader Boss, it doesn’t mean that you can just yell when you encounter something. This way, although the expansion of the contradiction is suppressed on the surface, it does not solve the root problem. Russell Westbrook’s performance is a bit excessive , but after all, as a young man, there is a price to pay for growing up, and you need to recognize the contradictions yourself. If you talk about him by yourself, not only will he not be convinced, but he will not be able to really learn from it. All of this must be understood by himself That's why Stephen won't interfere. His position in the team has reached a detached level now, and he doesn't need to maintain his authority in this way.

"Hey" Kobe Bryant laughed dryly and didn't continue. No matter how much he said, it might arouse Stephen's jng feeling. Stephen is not a stupid person, so Kobe Bryant turned his eyes and immediately changed the topic Turning to the other side: "Your general manager is very discerning. The players selected are all good. In a few years, maybe you won't be needed anymore, and you will be driven away."

"I think it's better for you to worry about yourself. You are also 30 years old. You can still maintain your golden state for a few years. Maybe it won't take two years. In order to save expenses, reduce salary space, and reduce luxury taxes, the Lakers They will send you away, and it's not like they don't have this tradition." Stephen said indifferently.

"Humph" Kobe Bryant snorted coldly, turned around and left. It would be a lie to say that he has no worries in this regard. Although the team traded for Pau Gasol for themselves, they also reached the finals last season. , let people see the prospects of the championship, but with the continued rise of the Sonics this season, it has already affected the prospects of the Lakers. When it comes to the prospects of the championship, the team will definitely choose to rebuild at that time. At that time, as the player with the highest salary in the team, he must be the first target for surgery. Don't say that the team is reluctant or the fans are reluctant. It really needs to be rebuilt. Sometimes, the team doesn't think about it at all.

"Don't worry, I'm just talking casually, it's not that serious." Stephen deliberately followed Kobe Bryant and continued.

"You took away my Olympic gold medal and my MVP, and I won't let you take away the championship." Kobe Bryant suddenly turned around and said fiercely to Stephen, This guy is really irritating. If it were before, Kobe Bryant really had so much love for Stephen, but now there is only a complete hate. It is this guy who grabbed Stephen last season. Taking away his own scoring champion, taking away his own MVP in the regular season, and then taking away his own Olympic gold medal with treacherous means, and taking away his own MVP this season, Stephen has become The most threatening player in the league to himself, Kobe Bryant naturally wished for Stephen to disappear from the league immediately.

"How could it be? I can steal your western championship at most. How could I steal your championship? We are not playing in the finals now, but in the divisional finals. Are you an old man? You can't remember clearly. Be careful with this, this is the legendary Alzheimer's disease." Stephen said solemnly, Kobe Bryant turned away again in anger, this guy is too hateful, his mouth is not forgiving at all, and he speaks in the same way One set, and no matter what you say, he won't get angry.

Stephen took advantage of his mouth, but the team's situation is not very good. Russell Westbrook is still the same as before, only caring about his own shots, but at this time he seems to know that it is easy to offend people if he keeps doing this, and occasionally Sometimes I also pass the ball to Kevin Durant or Stephen, but Coupard and Serge Ibaka can't enjoy it, but most of the time they still attack, even if they pass, it is usually because the opportunity is very bad. pass the ball.

On the contrary, although the Los Angeles Lakers did not play very well offensively, they followed the tactics completely, so the offensive success rate has been good, and slowly began to lead the Sonics by more than [-] points.

At this time, Carlesimo was going to decide to replace Russell Westbrook. After all, he had been playing for such a long time, and he should take a break, but Russell Westbrook just broke through and scored consecutively, closing the gap again Once again narrowed to seven points, Carlesimo hesitated and replaced Kevin Durant with Damien Wilkins. At the same time, considering that Russell Westbrook and Coupard basically have nothing In cooperation, he replaced Coupard with Yao Ming.

This gave Russell Westbrook an even more obvious signal. As long as he can maintain this performance, the coach will not be dissatisfied with himself, and he will not change himself. Therefore, in the next game, Russell Westbrook returned to the way he played at the beginning of the game. Although his performance was up and down, he has not changed, and Stephen has been watching from the sidelines, and the gap between the two sides was quickly widened again. To double digits, the Sonics ended the first half with a thirteen-point deficit.
