The Basketball Court Swordsman

"A half-quarter game, 8 points difference, it can be seen that the Lakers are really angry today. Their success proves that even without Chris Paul, the Lakers are still the powerful purple and gold team! And the Pacers On the team's side, they have not scored for two and a half minutes. They played very messy, and after losing Paul George, the Pacers seemed to be unable to play in an instant."

Jaylen Rose continues to fan the flames, and the Lakers' performance is still very in line with expectations. "This is mainly because the Henson coach's system has not been fully established. This group of players has just played 12 games together. Once the personnel again When changes occur, they are a little at a loss."

The timeout was extremely short, and the players had to reappear just after Henson had finished tactics.

On the Lakers side, Mike Brown, who replaced the "Zen Master" coach, replaced Gasol with the Pacers' old Troy Murphy. He used Artest, the beast that was once famous for the Pacers, of course, now this guy is called Charity. World Peace, replacing Barnes. Both players have played for the Pacers, which is a coincidence.

Mike Brown's substitution is a regular rotation, and there are no targeted tactical changes. The substitutions on the Pacers side made Mike Brin a bright spot.

Stephenson, the third shooting guard who usually ranks behind George and Matthews, played early. Subsequently, Yi Jianlian replaced West. Under normal circumstances, Henson will use Yi Jianlian and "Birdman" Anderson to play at the same time, one main inside and one outside. It's rare to see Yi Jianlian and Horford play at the same time.

"Coach Henson adjusted his substitution strategy. It seems that he has found a way to lead the team out of the predicament! The timeout ended, the Pacers took the lead and Paul took possession of the ball for halftime. Kobe still stayed on him. Let Let’s see what Paul would do, he...he passed the ball to Stephenson?"

Mike Brin's eyes widened, and Paul gave the ball to Stephenson in the second half. what does this mean? This means that the Pacers are now organized by Stephenson with the ball!

"Is this arranged by Coach Henson?" Jaylen Rose also discovered this problem, and his body couldn't help leaning forward instinctively. What's this, is it a mess?

Lance Stephenson? Let this joke organize the offense? Henson Joe is serious?

Seriously, very serious.

Stephenson beckoned for cover, Yi Jianlian did not hesitate and immediately set up a pick-and-roll for this joking teammate.

Yi Jianlian still remembers that on the first day he came to the team to meet Stephenson, the first thing Stephenson said to him was: "I know a nightclub with many Asian girls, and they are interested in calling me."

Although this joke embarrassed Yi Jianlian, it also made him discover that Stephenson was not as bad as the rumors. It's just that his "friendliness" is different from others.

Therefore, in the locker room and training ground, Yi Jianlian and Stephenson's relationship is pretty good. Such a relationship can easily be converted into a tacit understanding on the court.

Seeing Yi Jianlian's pick and roll in place, Stephenson broke through! His breakthrough caught "Old Fish" Fischer by surprise. Coupled with Yi Jianlian's high screen quality, "Lao Yu" missed the defensive position!

As a result, Troy Murphy had to make up for it, and Fischer instinctively chased it back. Stephenson's breakthrough attracted two people's defense! Yi Jianlian immediately took a step back and stood outside the three-point line!

Stephenson didn't turn his head back, he just threw the ball behind his head as he marched!

That's right, it's throwing it back, it's more like street juggling, not a rigorous pass.

When the Lakers players looked at basketball in surprise, Yi Jianlian had already got an open shot. This spatial type 4 position did not hesitate, and steadily shot down three points, completing his tactical mission!

"Pretty, the appearance of Yi Jianlian made the Lakers' defense a little messy. No one thought Stephenson would pass the ball like that, and no one thought that the end point of this tactic would actually be on Yi Jianlian." Mike Brin clapped for Henson's arrangement. Applauded, Henson was pleased with the performance of the two players.

Strictly speaking, Stephenson is not an organizer who can control the overall situation. At this point, he and Paul are incomparable.

But Stephenson's creativity is enough to break this lifeless offense. Even Henson didn't know what this guy would do next, such as the one who just dropped the ball behind his head.

But Yi Jianlian's goal did not attract the attention of the Lakers, and this kind of short-lived cooperation is impossible to appear from time to time. The Lakers continued to play their offense, Kobe took to the free throw line and beat Paul back!

Paul is very stable under the plate and can withstand Kobe's recoil. But the height is not enough to prevent Kobe from turning over a jumper.

But this time, Stephenson doubled up the moment Kobe received the ball without hesitation.

If placed three or four years ago, Kobe would vote with two people. After all, this is "a big open space with only two defenders". But now Kobe's assessment of himself is very accurate, and he has passed the age when he can do it all by himself.

Seeing Fischer being emptied, Kobe didn't even think about it, and immediately played the ball. Fisher is Kobe's most trusted guard partner, and that experienced point guard knows how to make the right decisions.

But unfortunately, the experienced Fischer made a mistake today. Obviously, he underestimated Stephenson's moving speed and defensive determination.

Fischer's shooting speed is not fast, his action seems to be to carry the ball on his shoulders and then shoot out, so the shot is not high.

Stephenson forced Kobe to pass the ball and immediately made up for it and took off directly. He caught the ball thrown by Fisher and changed the trajectory of basketball!

Green jumped at the killer anytime and anywhere, and pulled the ball in the air into his arms under the drag of the villain Ci Shiping. Successful defense, Pacers get the ball!

"Stevenson is full of vitality, his offense and defense are very exciting, coach Henson's substitutions are as immediate as ever!" Mike Brin waved his fists excitedly, Henson's on-site command is always full of surprises.

This time, Paul, who was defended by Kobe, simply did not hold the ball. Stephenson personally controlled the ball for half the time, dribbling the ball and making a few gestures.

Henson really wanted to take off his shoes and rushed up to smoke that guy, because the few gestures Stephenson made were meaningless, they were just to pretend to be random.

"Pull, pull!" Seeing this, Henson could only help Stephenson make the correct gestures. He yelled the Chinese pronunciation of "Pull" on the sidelines, and then slashed with his hands sideways, which was a signal for singles.

As a result, Paul and Green sub-station two bottom corners, Yi Jianlian and Horford also mentioned high positions, ready to attack at any time. Stephenson lowered his center of gravity two steps from the midfield line and changed hands continuously. He wants to single Fischer!

"Henson Joe is crazy!" Jaylen Rose shouted.

The Lakers bullied the Pacers and only had Paul a ball point? Then Henson will let you see, we have a lot of points!

When Stephenson was dribbling, Fischer reached for the ball. Seeing this, Stephenson pulled the ball back flexibly, switched to the left hand, and avoided the steal. Compared to a streetball player who used to beat adults in Rock Park when he was 16 years old, Stephenson still has this bit of work.

But "Old Fish" has always been experienced. Although he did not grab the ball, he did not lose his position. Instead, he took a step in the direction of Stephenson's change of hands and prepared to block ahead.

As everyone knows, Stephenson just switched the ball to his left hand, he pulled it with his left hand, and turned to the right! For the second consecutive change of direction, Fischer's feet were a bit chaotic, and a rhythm could not keep up, and Stephenson broke through and plunged into the penalty area!

At this time, Yi Jianlian and Horford both bounced outside the three-point line, opening the penalty area. Stephenson went inside, grabbed the ball with his right hand and placed it behind him, as if to show his indifferent back pass again.

"Little Shark" Bynum was deceived by this action, because Yi Jianlian and Horford can both shoot three pointers, Stephenson's breakthrough is likely to create opportunities for them.

However, when Bynum turned to look at Horford, he found that the ball did not pass! Looking back, Stephenson has already made a layup!

"On a fake fax of one-handed catching the ball, hahahaha! Stephenson played Fischer and Bynum continuously!"

Amid the roar of Mike Brin and the cheers of the Pacers players, Stephenson, the shooting guard who is embarrassing and reusable in Jalen Rose’s view, made the ball beautifully, from the wonderful shaking to the beautiful fake pass. Stephenson undoubtedly booked a seat for the top five of the day.

After the goal, Stephenson twisted his body to show his dancing. Paul and Henson shook their heads at the same time. This guy is really half angel and half demon.

At this time, Kobe understood that the plan to block Paul's holding point had failed. You seal a holding point and Henson will immediately switch to the second one. The thickness of their bench is also top in the league.

Although Stephenson's statistics are not eye-catching, he is a very versatile firefighter despite the statistics. At the critical moment, he can do whatever you want Stephenson to do. As the New York villain promised when Henson met Stephenson for the first time: "I will do what you want me to do."

Thinking of this, Henson couldn't help but glance at Jimmy Butler, who clenched his fists at the end of the bench. His eyes were full of desire, waiting for Henson to give an order. This kid said the same thing yesterday.

The appearance of Stephenson and Yi Jianlian allowed the Pacers to empty the inside line and at the same time found a holding point that is completely different from Paul's style.

At this point, the Pacers were no longer suppressed, and the scoring finally became normal. It's just that Kobe's performance is still eye-catching, which did not make the Pacers comeback.

After the first quarter, the Pacers trailed by 3 points. However, Henson is quite satisfied with the status quo.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe did not play because he played too long in the first quarter and needed a rest. Paul finally got out of it and led the Pacers with a steady offense, surpassing the score by 4 points. After playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter, Kobe played again.

Perhaps it was the Pacers jersey on Paul that stimulated Kobe, who is in perfect condition today. As soon as he played, he used a three-pointer to stabilize the situation and led the Zijin Army to sound the horn of counterattack.

Until two minutes before the end of the half game, Paul and Matthews both left the field, and Stephenson replaced Paul in the first position. At this time, Kobe was still there, because he was late in the second quarter, just to save the second to the end.

"I want to see, coach Henson replaced Paul with Stephenson, and who is he going to replace Stephenson with. Who to use, go against Kobe!" Jaylen Rose smiled happily, this kind of compensation Sooner or later there will be loopholes in West’s approach.

Henson called a timeout and checked the time on the big screen. Two minutes, almost ready to try.

"Jimmy!" Henson shouted.

At the end of the bench, the face that was unfamiliar to Pacers home fans suddenly stood up like a switch, and then took off his training uniform.
