beast basketball

The reason why Stephen watched this coldly is that on the one hand, the point difference is really not big, and he can catch up even if he exerts his strength in the second half. It can only be said that Watson can barely meet the requirements of the team. No matter how much you want him to contribute, he can do nothing, and Earl Watson is also nearly 30 years old, and his golden age will pass soon. , Although the physical requirements of the point guard are not too high, Earl Watson, who is playing at his best, generally declines in physical function, and it is difficult to be reassuring whether he can cope with the game.

Not to mention that the team is still moving forward and has a higher pursuit of every position. Russell Westbrook is a good candidate, talented, capable, young and has potential for training. Different, Jarrett Jack is too old, his physical fitness is not outstanding, and his playing style does not match the Sonics. He can only be used as a supplement for the team in this position, not as the main force.

But now this Russell Westbrook has not really matured, and he still has many shortcomings. He even has a long way to go before a team can qualify as a starter. Growing up, it is no problem to arrange him as the starter now, and his ability can also meet the requirements, but if he wants to do better, he still lacks the experience from the bottom up.

The current Supersonics team is not the time when people are available, nor is it the time to train new players. The current Supersonics team is a team that is attacking the championship. The structure of the team and the lineup are already very complete. What is needed is reinforcement, what is needed is upgrading, not the promotion of newcomers, nor is it the time for newcomers to experience themselves.

He can perform better, which will naturally allow him to stay in this position. If he can't perform better, then the team will not be too tolerant of him. The team does not have so many opportunities for him. There is not so much time for him, whether he is second in the first round or fifth in the first round, this is Stephen's team, the goal of the team, and the way the team will go is what Stephen decides , on this point, he will not have any compromise with anyone. [

The owner of the team needs the team to have a better record. This is no problem. Stephen will do his best to complete it. The market needs to be better. Stephen will cooperate with the development of the team and perform better. Presti needs to meet the boss. The requirements of meeting the needs of the fans externally, and making the team operate healthily, none of these conflict with Stephen's goals. Stephen is the biggest decision-maker in matters at the competitive level. Although he has never shown it, but That's when no one challenged him

Carlesimo is only the second, or third, and Stephen will strategically have a better relationship with the head coach, but this does not mean that he will compromise and lose his principles, Russell Weiss Regarding Brook, Carlesimo was a little too eager for success, and he also paid too much attention to or favored Russell Westbrook. No matter what his purpose was, when there was a conflict with Stephen, Stephen would naturally let him He knows who is the team's decision maker.

But it’s not there yet. Although Russell Westbrook’s performance is a bit out of line, it is still within the acceptable range. Moreover, Stephen is famous for his mastery in everything he does. He must wait for the other party to make a mistake. Only Stephen came out of the fight and rushed to fight for power and profit. Stephen hasn't done that yet, and he doesn't need to go there to do it.

Stephen is waiting for Russell Westbrook to make a bigger mistake, or cause more serious consequences because of him. Losing this game is a very serious consequence. In the game, Stephen will naturally look forward to the next game, relying on his own strength to solve opponents like the Los Angeles Lakers, or to solve opponents in the finals, let alone Russell Westbrook has not yet reached Stephen's level , even Stephen himself will be very strenuous.

As for losing a game, this is not important. Stephen didn't intend to sweep the opponent. Losing a game is completely acceptable. There is no team that cannot make mistakes. If you make mistakes in this area, you will naturally make mistakes in other areas Less, Stephen learned how to think long-term and how to give up short-term goals for long-term goals when he was in the San Antonio Spurs.

So for such a situation, Stephen is not surprised. There is nothing wrong with Russell Westbrook's approach. He is just a rookie, just a rookie. He made mistakes that many young players would make. As the saying goes, if young people make mistakes, God will forgive them. Although Stephen is not God, he will also forgive him for his youthful vigor. As a point guard, he is born with the right to control the ball. The more this situation , The more you have to deal with the relationship between passing and shooting, many players have never learned it in their entire lives. This is not a mistake.

But the Sonics or Stephen will not tolerate this situation, so Stephen needs Russell Westbrook to take a lesson and learn something from it. If he insists on not changing, then no matter how amazing his talent is. , Stephen will not allow him to be on the post again, maybe there is still the possibility of staying in this team, but he can only be used as a substitute.

If he wants to survive in this team, he must grind away some edges and corners of his body, and then he can be embedded in this group, instead of being like this now, although he is sharp, but hurts others and hurts himself. It is an inevitable process, and it is also a must to survive in this society. Otherwise, you will not be able to survive in this small group. If you insist on not making changes, you will naturally be excluded unless you can find a A circle that is entirely up to you, otherwise you will have to make compromises and changes wherever you go.

Kevin Durant has done a good job in this regard. He has a talent not inferior to Russell Westbrook, and even stronger in some aspects, but after meeting Stephen, he clearly understands He realized his own situation, understood the current situation of the team, and knew that he could not shake Stephen's position with his own ability, so unless he left here, he had to make changes to rely on Stephen.

Although Kevin Durant's growth in the past two seasons has not been so obvious, his importance to this team is beyond doubt. His outside shooting is a great weapon for the team's offense. It is the core of the inside line. He is the core of the outside line. Stephen is in the middle to connect the two of them. Guard them all from the inside out.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that there is no real defensive team in the league now. The original Detroit Pistons have disappeared, the San Antonio Spurs have changed to a lightweight play, and the Houston Rockets have left after Jeff Van Gundy. The defense has also retreated from the top three in the league to the top ten in the league, so this season, so many offensive teams will enter the playoffs.

In the second half, Stephen took a break, and Kobe Bryant also sat off the court, but Russell Westbrook still stayed on the court. Although he appeared as Stephen's substitute, the team was still in his hands. Still tirelessly hitting the Lakers' basket, but at this time the Lakers will not release water on him. After being blocked by Paul Gasol twice in a row, Russell Westbrook still does not know how to repent. Revo Ariza completed the steal from his hand, and the consecutive mistakes allowed the Lakers to seize the opportunity and expand the point difference to more than [-] points in one fell swoop.

At this time, Carlesimo realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly replaced Russell Westbrook. When he asked Stephen, Stephen shook his head. Perhaps it was because of the soy sauce in the first half, Stephen has not , still can't get any interest, so Stephen plans to watch it for a while.
