The Basketball Court Swordsman

Stephenson's affairs really made Henson angry, so even after getting the guy out of the police station, Henson didn't talk to him much.

Although the speeding arrest is really not a big deal, if you continue to let Stephenson do whatever he wants, God knows if he will cause a big deal next time. Moreover, being arrested by the police may also face the danger of being suspended.

Fortunately, Stephenson's arrest did not cause much turmoil in the league. Firstly, because Stephenson's position is really not heavy enough, secondly, the news that Chris Paul was absent from the game due to family affairs also greatly overshadowed Stephenson.

But the combination of these two things can't help but make the Pacers' winning prospects very worrying.

"Back to back, playing the same team for two consecutive days. I don't think we will be double-killed again this season!" Facing the reporters, Anthony was very confident.

Although the Pacers' rankings bite the Bulls, the Knicks' current 19 wins and 24 losses are a bit spicy. But if Jeremy Lin's continued strong performance and Paul's absence are added, Anthony believes that the Knicks have a very big win. What's more, the arrest of Stephenson broke out this morning, which will definitely affect the Pacers' state.

Even if Paul missed only one game, for the Knicks, even a 1-1 record against the Pacers in a row is good.

So Anthony's goal is very clear, he must take advantage of his good friend Paul's handling of housework and steal a victory in the Conseco Arena!

It's not just Anthony who thinks the Knicks can win in Indianapolis. In fact, only a few reporters and experts still think the Pacers can still win. But the most unexpected thing is that Sir Charles Flying Pig Barkley is one of them.

"Without Chris Paul last season, didn't the Pacers also double-kill the Knicks? Think about it, setting aside the magical 7-game winning streak led by Jeremy Lin to the Knicks, what would their current record look like? In other words, the record of the Knicks and the Pacers are not at the same level. This huge gap is not caused by a certain player, but caused by the overall strength of the team. Therefore, even if Paul is absent, the Pacers’ The winning side is also great."

When Barkley said this on the T.NT show, Kenny Smith couldn't help touching his partner's head.

This guy has a fever and burned his brain out? He didn't take this opportunity to wash Henson, but instead stood on the side of the Pacers.

However, as early as Henson unexpectedly used the inside to defeat the Grizzlies, Barkley found that he began to like the Chinese coach.

It's just a pity that the live broadcast of this game was obtained by eSPN, so Barkley could not come to the scene to explain the game in person. But even so, Barkley also expressed support for Henson in the show.

At this time, in the Pacers' locker room, the atmosphere is extremely serious.

This back-to-back continuous battle with New York has long been drawn by Henson in the red circle on the schedule and is an important match. As a result, the Knicks were not so easy to deal with. Second, the Pacers need to win in both games to get close to the goal of No. 1 in the East.

Therefore, the players have been prepared for this day. Everyone worked very hard before the game. After all, no one wants to be told that they can't win if they leave Paul.

Among them, the hardest and most serious one is undoubtedly Stephenson. It has been clearly written on the whiteboard in the locker room that Hinrich will replace Paul as the starting point guard for the game. Henson did not joking with Stephenson, he really deprived Stephenson of the starting position that originally belonged to Stephenson.

Now, Stephenson is not even sure if he has a chance to play! Because the Pacers’ guard line has never lacked people, don’t forget, Henson has always liked the kid named Jimmy Butler.

Therefore, Stephenson must use his own efforts to win back a chance to enter the rotation. Boy or man? Stephenson hopes to use his performance to give Henson the answer!

Before the game, speculations about whether the Pacers or the Knicks would win were mixed. But one evaluation is almost one-sided. That is, "If Paul can't play, then Jeremy Lin is definitely better than Hinrich and Stephenson."

"Maybe the Pacers can win the game, but with Jeremy Lin, the Knicks will definitely have the advantage in the first position."

"Stephenson was arrested again last night. I am not surprised at all. Do you long for such a guy who was still in the iron cage of the police station last night to end the invasion of'Lin Madness' tonight?"

It seems that Jeremy Lin's miracle has not been forgotten by fans. A low-key, hardworking, and finally successful player defeating an arrogant, decadent and unruly New York villain, this alive and well is the script of a Hollywood inspirational movie!

Such a perfect plot, fans of course hope to see it on the court.

But the moment the game started, the New York fans were disappointed. Because Henson actually allowed Hinrich, who had few chances to play this season, to start. What about Stephenson? He sat silently at the end of the bench, his eyes full of longing.

"It seems that Coach Henson still has a grudge against the basket that Stephenson stabbed last night. Originally thought Stephenson would start instead of Paul, but everyone saw that this guy is now firmly pressed on the bench." Mike Brin was once again attracted by Henson's strategy of employing people. Of course, Hinrich was not bad, but again, there is nothing too prominent about him now.

"Tonight, there will be a tough fight in the Conseco Arena." Brin's commentary partner, former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy also echoed.

Sure enough, for the Knicks' first offense, Jeremy Lin hit Hinrich with his own speed.

Hinrich's defensive consciousness is still there, but Stoudemire's pick-and-roll made Jeremy Lin easily throw off the white guard who is not very athletic.

After the breakthrough, Jeremy Lin hit a difficult layup under Horford's interference. Henson curled his lips. It was really difficult to score this goal. Is Jeremy Lin so confident now?

"A very beautiful breakthrough. It is said that Jeremy Lin's speed in the physical test is at the same level as the top pick John Wall. It seems that his speed is indeed very outstanding."

Seeing Jeremy Lin scored, Stephenson couldn't help turning his head to look at Henson. But to his disappointment, Henson seemed to have no reaction to this loss of the ball. This also means that Henson does not need himself for the time being...

Nonsense, since it is a difficult layup, it proves that this kind of ball will not hit frequently. Even if he did it again, Jeremy Lin might not be able to make progress just now.

In Henson's view, Jeremy Lin is not the main player in this game, but Anthony is still!

The Pacers offense, although Hinrich's organization and passing are not as good as Paul, but it is still fairly stable and will not make any major mistakes.

After a few tactics ran down, Paul George got his shooting space. Last season, the Knicks' starting shooting guard was tortured into an "inhuman form" by Stephenson. This season, Stephenson is gone, but there is another George who is 2 meters 06 but bullies at the second position.

Faced with George's height, the only thing Fields can do is try his best to jump the cover. However, George's shot was false and the breakthrough was true.

After lighting up the Fields, George held the ball to the basket and made a layup.

Although the Knicks are sitting inside last season's champion center Chandler and star forward, Studmeier, who defeated Yao Ming and won the best rookie.

However, George's breakthrough was sudden. The two insiders had not reacted yet, and George's layup was already in the net.

"Pay attention to the defense, I don't want to see the opponent easily score!" Knicks coach Mike Woodson yelled, obviously very dissatisfied with the team's defense just now.

Seeing Woodson dancing on the sidelines, Henson couldn't help thinking of the mustache D'Antoni who was also dancing there last season.

From that time on, Henson saw that D'Antoni and Anthony had such a disagreement in tactical concepts. It was just that the two talents had just cooperated, so the conflict did not intensify or erupt.

However, what should come will come after all. No, in less than a season, didn't D'Antoni finish class after doing a good job?

Not everyone is like George Karl of the Nuggets, who can survive the war with the stars.

Now that D'Antoni is taken away, the "social melon" is even more unfettered. Any tactical system is nonsense. As long as Anthony wants to, he can play singles unscrupulously at any time.

So Jeremy Lin lost his shot in the second round of the Knicks offense.

The Chinese guard just passed halftime, and Anthony raised his hand for the ball. At the same time, the Knicks opened up and Anthony wants to single Green!

Green's improvement on the defensive end this season is equally huge, and he is basically the starting third candidate for Henson Ray. Although this undesirable runner has average statistics, he can bring enough vitality to the starting lineup.

Anthony lied with a three-threat, and then suddenly accelerated the breakthrough!

Halfway through, Anthony stopped one after another and turned around to prepare for a jumper! This is Anthony's usual trick this season, and the goal rate is quite high. However, Green did not lose his position. He raised his hand in a very timely manner and blocked Anthony's fingertips!

"Green's defense is very beautiful, that's why he can be the starting third position!" Mike Brin exclaimed excitedly, now it depends on whether Anthony's personal ability is magical enough.

Just when everyone thought Anthony would shoot defensively, this New York No. 7, a single player who needed a lot of shooting and possession, unexpectedly changed his shot into a pass!

The basketball fell to Fields, and George didn't expect Anthony to pass the ball, so the defense was a step slower.

In this way, Fields scored in the open shot, and Anthony sent a...assistance to the role player!

"Pass!?" Henson didn't expect Anthony to pass. Last season, Anthony would definitely choose to hit the ball very decisively. Pass? It’s impossible to pass the ball in this life. With so much possession of the ball, Anthony’s average assists per season fluctuates between 2 and 3. Pass the question.

But just now, Anthony did pass the ball and also got a direct assist.

Watching Fields score a goal, Anthony glanced at the Pacers' bench, which happened to be facing Henson.

In Anthony's eyes, Henson read proudly.

It seems that the determination of "Social Melon" to win tonight is really strong.
