The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 104: : Double Kill Knicks

The enthusiasm of the Knicks fans from the beginning became extremely lost. Perhaps they did not expect that in Madison Square Garden, with two star forwards Anthony and Stoudemire, the team would be so passive.

Of course, they did not expect that the notorious Lance Stephenson, who no team dared to take over, would be reborn in New York today.

Rebounds, floor kicks, flying into the audience to save the ball... Stephenson's figure will never be absent from the camera, he will do his best to compete for every ball, invisibly let the Pacers win Many opportunities to switch offense.

The ability to fight for the ball is A+. When Henson saw this data, he probably knew that Stephenson would do this on the basketball court. Today, in his hometown of New York, in front of a group of New Yorkers who are not optimistic about him, the ability of this A+ has finally been fully demonstrated.

"No one grabbed a rebound, and Horford sent the rebound to the bench. It seems that this is an offensive ball. The Knicks' offensive rebound has put tremendous pressure on the Pacers. Wait... ...Lance Stephenson, he flew directly to the bench and saved the ball again! Paul George received the basketball, he ran all the way, Anthony tried to stop him but... one-handed dunk! George completed another fast break, and Lance Stephenson’s enthusiasm put the Pacers ahead!"

Marvin Albert wiped the sweat from his forehead. The Pacers game made him feel that his mouth seemed to be overreacting.

Stephenson pounced on the bench and Henson patted the guy on the ass. Hot potato? Except for the time he asked himself to pick him up at the police station, Stephenson wasn't that scary.

This was only one of the Pacers' fast break clips in the second half of the game. The Knicks lost their souls even more throughout the second half. Although they have occasionally outstanding performance, the game points difference has been in double digits.

Anthony's singles are no longer as magical as the first half. Anthony, who scored 20 points in the first half, swallowed zero eggs in the third quarter. The efficiency of this offensive kaleidoscope made Knicks fans very heartbroken.

This situation also continued into the fourth quarter. Although the Knicks worked very hard, Stoudemire also scored 11 points in a single quarter. Anthony finally remembered that he had a helper beside him.

However, the pit before the helpless dig was too big, even if Stoudemire performed well in the fourth quarter, he failed to narrow the difference to single digits.

Henson is in control of the game, and as soon as the Knicks start to gain momentum, he will immediately extinguish it.

Until the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the Knicks still failed to close the score.

106 to 93, not favored by people. The Pacers team that Barkley said would only play weak teams, in New York, in the Knicks turf, took a four-game winning streak by 13 points.

"Congratulations to the Pacers. Their powerful offensive made the Knicks powerless. After this game, the Pacers officially won 40 wins in the regular season! The last time the Pacers could win 40, it was already 05- It’s the 06 season! Coach Henson, let the Pacers fly on the right highway!"

At the end of the game, although Marvin Albert was a New Yorker, he was very neutral as a commentator.

There is nothing wrong with cheering for the winner.

After the game, the Knicks fans did not boo, but did not cheer. They just left the game in silence to express their dissatisfaction with the team.

"Unbelievable, Coach Henson actually **** Madison Square Garden without Granger. No one expected that Stephenson and Paul George, two first-year rookies, would become the key to turning the situation around. Coach Henson The use of talent is so subtle, he always seems to know when to change what kind of players to play."

Jeff Van Gundy also shook his head and exclaimed. When he was a coach, he was a famous "dead main" coach and relied more on starting players.

There is no doubt that Henson has done a better job than Van Gundy, a veteran in terms of rotation strategy.

"Congratulations, Lance, with 16 points, this is the highest score of your NBA career! How does it feel to be home?" After the game, Lance Stephenson was favored by sideline reporters for the first time in history.

In the past, who would be okay to find this inferior person for an interview. But today, Stephenson is the most watched star, as if returning to his high school period.

16 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and countless flying saves for which data cannot be counted. Stephenson's data may seem nothing worth mentioning, but this data does not faithfully reflect the deep impression that Stephenson left on the stadium.

"It feels like going home? No, no, no, now my home is in Indianapolis! I'm very happy to be able to defeat a New York team on the road!" Stephenson was really good at speaking out, presumably his remarks will definitely make New York The city is extremely lively!

Stephenson is a straightforward person. He is not so bad as a tendon. Stephenson can’t speak beautiful words. Since New York City abandoned me before, I would never think I would post this cold ass.

On the other hand, the Knicks are obviously very embarrassed. Especially Anthony, after all, before the start of the game, he said something that he would definitely win the Pacers.

"The responsibility for losing today lies with me. I didn't manage to keep up in the second half of the game."

Facing the reporter's camera, Anthony's eyes were a little erratic. He scored 20 points in the first half, but only 5 points in the second half. With 0 of 5 shots in the third quarter, Anthony was once again nailed to the pillar of shame.

Stoudemire took a full 7 shots less than Anthony, and scored 28 points tepidly. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Today, regardless of personal data or game results, Anthony's performance can only be described as "bad".

Of course, Anthony is not entirely to blame for the Knicks' loss today. Just coming back from injury, Billups, who made only 4 of 14 shots and has been caught playing wildly on the defensive end, performed equally badly.

But as the team's biggest star, Anthony must be backed by this pot.

"But I promise, I won't make the same mistake in the next game!" Anthony replied.

"One day later, we will have another match with the Pacers. I think that game, we will do better." D'Antoni said the same, he seems to have planned to turn this page over.

That's right, two days later in Indianapolis, the Pacers' upcoming opponent is still the New York Knicks, which gives Henson a feeling of playing a series.

Henson was very happy to fight the imaginary enemy in the playoffs. Because neither he nor his players have very good playoff experience. And this kind of schedule can help Henson and the team find the feeling of playing in the playoffs.

At the Conseco Arena on March 15th, Indianapolis fans ushered in the New Yorkers who were aggressive and determined to revenge.

"Like they destroyed Madison Square Garden, we will also destroy this place today!" Before the game started, Anthony slammed the reporter down.

The New Yorkers seem to be preparing for a big kill, but the Pacers also have good news, that is, Granger who is suffering from the flu is back.

After the game started, the New Yorkers did show their determination to yearn for revenge.

Anthony stopped playing singles randomly. He began to integrate into the system on the offensive end and share the ball. D'Antoni is determined to win. When a super scorer is willing to integrate into your system, his role will be infinitely magnified.

Of course, the Pacers guys are not going to give in. This is mainly because their head coach Henson yelled at everyone before the game started.

"This is our territory, don't let the defeated opponents ride on our necks!"

The game was very intense, one after another. In the third quarter, the Pacers once widened the point difference by 15 points, but before the end of the third quarter, the Knicks played a wave of 10 to 0 offensive climax and the point difference was approaching.

After three quarters, the Knicks have scored in double figures with five players. It seems that in the last game, the Pacers really angered the New Yorkers.

The Knicks both showed brutality, and on the Pacers side, Granger, who had just returned, was also extremely excited. He frequently attacked the scoring at the basket, leaving Stoudemire with no light on his face.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, "Little Overlord" took the lead, scoring 7 points and leading the Knicks to overtake the score by 1 point in less than 4 minutes.

Since then, the scores of the two sides have alternately increased, and the crowd in the Conseco arena is so intense that even Reggie Miller, who is explaining the game, feels breathless.

In the last 41 seconds, Billups' long shot helped the Knicks gain a key one-point advantage. The veteran in the 14th 4th game in the last game seemed to have completed self-salvation.

But before Billups could be happy, he was caught speed by Holiday and immediately surpassed the Knicks with a jumper.

In the last 15 seconds of the game, Billups realized that his salvation was not over yet. His fatal pass error allowed the Pacers to get the key ball. No one thought that this experienced and stable veteran would actually make a mistake at this time!

The Knicks had to foul, but Paul George made two free throws and gave the Knicks a chance to kill.

In the last 7 seconds, Anthony made a calm breakthrough and hit a layup in the confrontation to tie the score to 117! At that moment, the whole of New York was boiling, and Anthony abruptly pulled the team up from the cliff!

At this point, with 4 seconds left in the game, it seems that overtime is inevitable! Henson used the last timeout, and for the second time in his career, he arranged a lore tactic!

"No one knows who Coach Henson will make the final shot!" With Reggie Miller's voice, the T.NT director immediately replayed the scene of the last time George killed the Hornets.

This replay reminds everyone that the Pacers have a successful lore this season! At this time, Holiday, Matthews, George, Granger and Horford on the Pacers' court are all likely to make a lore!

The camera on the scene was aimed at Henson. The young coach was holding a tactical board while drawing and writing, looking extremely calm. Even more calm than D'Antoni.

The electronic buzzer sounds and the pause time ends. A huge wave of cheers came from behind Henson, almost overthrowing him.

With a whistle from the referee, George came out first, and then Holiday came out again. Until the end, it was Granger who had just returned. And he is Henson's choice!

Granger received the ball, and the number on the timer began to beat. The Knicks did not double-team, they dare not double-team! It is fatal to empty anyone at this time.

Granger faced Stoudemire and changed hands to find a breakthrough rhythm. Suddenly speeding up when there are 3 seconds left, it seems that he wants to play the inside line that is frequently successful today.

But in the middle of the sudden, Granger stopped and retreated unexpectedly. After leaving a bit of space, Granger shot a jumper, while the red light was on on the backboard. Basketball passing through the net!

In the last 0.3 seconds of the game, Granger shot the Knicks with a jumper!

Henson raised his arms, and behind him were thousands of fans who did the same actions...
