Reims. Stephenson's appearance is like pouring water on the parched land, lubricating the worn engine, adding special effects to the boring movie, and removing the mosaic from the passionate picture!

2 points, 2 assists, plus a successful defense against Jeremy Lin. Stephenson revived the Pacers' offense, and the Knicks' five-point advantage was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

However, Mike. Woodson didn't call for a stop. Maybe he doesn't think a one-point margin is dangerous, or maybe he doesn't think Stephenson can always have such a consistent output.

But no matter what he thinks, Stephenson will tell this new Knicks coach: "You're wrong! ”

Anthony now has to carry the Knicks' offensive banner, Jeremy Lin was heavily defended today, and Stoudemire didn't show much. Smith is now entangled by George, and the "King of Fighters" meets "Birdman", which is also difficult to protect himself. As a result, Anthony feels like he's back to last season, back to a season where he had to rely on individual singles to solve problems.

No, Anthony is clear. If you insist on playing alone, it will fall into Henson's hands. This time the team is infinitely close to victory, and he doesn't want to ruin this chance to win again because of his recklessness!

When Paul returns in the next game, it will be even harder for the Knicks to win! If you can't win the game today, then the Knicks will have a good chance of swallowing the bitter fruit of two consecutive defeats!

For the Knicks, who have just ended a six-game losing streak, and for the Knicks, who are already teetering on the edge of the playoffs, the price of a two-game losing streak is still a little too great.

So, Anthony turned the arrow, Smith. As soon as Smith caught the ball, he found that George had already posted it. In fact, the defense of . has always been very tight, and does not care if there is a defense in front of him.

But now, .certainly won't be so messy. After hesitating, he returned the ball to Anthony......

"The Knicks' offensive tactics couldn't run at all, it was basically a back and forth between a few scorers. Anthony hits Green with his back and rolls over for a jumper! Hit! Although the goal was scored, the Pacers did not give the opponent any space to score. If the Knicks want to win the game with this kind of offense, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. ”

While the offense was revitalized, the Pacers' defense didn't let up at all. And you know, at this time, the "gibbon" Leonard of the Pacers is still resting on the bench. When Anthony is exhausted by Green's torture, Henson will definitely replace Leonard to continue torturing the "social melon".

By Anthony singles? Woodson may not be reliable.

In this way, the two sides, who were evenly matched in the first two and a half quarters, finally showed a gap in the second half of the third quarter.

The Pacers' offense is more fluid and efficient. Stephenson's self-scoring and passing made the Pacers' offense more dynamic.

Although in the third quarter, Stephenson also had two over-the-top pass errors, one without looking at the pass to Jeremy Lin, and one behind the back to Henson...... At that moment, Henson felt the urge to take off his shoes and smoke people again.

But Stephenson is not a pure point guard after all, let alone a master of control like Paul. So although there were two mistakes, it can be regarded as a flaw. That's why Henson wore his leather shoes well.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers went from trailing by five points at the beginning to leading by eight points. There is no doubt that the Knicks are in a hurry, and the whole team is in a hurry. If you don't take advantage of Paul's chance to win, will Paul still want to win tomorrow?

Not wanting to swallow the bitter fruit of two consecutive losses, the Knicks must find a way to close the eight-point gap.

So in the fourth quarter of the game, it can be seen that Mike. Still, Woodson made some changes on the offensive end. He increased the team's cross-cutting coordination, emphasised sharing the ball, and passed the ball to many people's hands in one attack. There's no doubt that Woodson wants the Knicks to play more blossoms.

However, this "flower" is not something that can be opened if you want to. The Pacers' multi-point flowering, the focus is on the space is open and the players shoot accurately.

The Knicks obviously don't have these two characteristics, they can't open up space on the inside, and they shoot ..... It's hard to put into words.

Legend has it that Fields, a good teammate who made Jeremy Lin's couch years old, hit two irons in a row as soon as he came up, and then, Jeremy Lin made two pull-up jump shots and only hit one.

After that, Melon tried another three-point shot. But under Green's pressure, Anthony couldn't comfortably throw the ball in.

"Whenever Cameron plays against the Pacers, he always seems to be in trouble." Mike. Brin couldn't help but shake his head, Anthony met the Pacers, or he was a personal high scorer but an empty cut. Or, as it is today, the shooting percentage and scoring statistics are miserable.

With the Knicks' offense still too hard to find, the Pacers have silently opened the score. Looking at Stephenson's arrogant appearance after scoring or assisting, Knicks fans must have cursed him thousands of times.

But it didn't work, how Stephenson should be "hated" or how "hated".

After four minutes of play in the fourth quarter, Henson replaced Danny, who had played a lot of time and was already a little tired. Green. Green had 11 points, three rebounds and three assists when he was substituted, and most importantly, he was solid on the defensive end.

Even Green, who is not heavy on the offensive end, is so tired, and Anthony, who enjoys the "VIP treatment", is naturally even more exhausted.

Seeing the Pacers substitution, Anthony couldn't help but take the opportunity to support his knees with his hands and pull the collar of his jersey to wipe his sweat. Then, in despair, he saw that the No. 2 "gibbon" with an expressionless face, large palms and slender arms appeared again.

Anthony gasped and felt like life had lost hope.

"Henson is such a torture king, this is not going to give Anthony a second of respite!" Brin looked at the close-up of Anthony's face on the big screen, and his desperate expression seemed to make Brin feel Anthony's inner collapse at this time.

After that, a tired Anthony used his superb back-to-back skills and turnaround jumper to get under Leonard's long arms...... Crazy iron.

Anderson must have been the happiest, as Anthony's iron allowed him to easily harvest a lot of rebounding stats.

On the offensive end, Leonard was not idle. As the season progresses, Leonard has slowly moved from being a pure defensive player to a certain proportion on the offensive end.

His offensive tools are certainly not as rich as Anthony's, but the cut after taking a big step is still quite threatening.

The first is that Leonard knows how to get rid of the defense, and the second is that his slender arms make it difficult to block high-flying layups.

In order to prevent Leonard's cut, Anthony must run wildly with this expressionless No. 2 all the time. There is no doubt that this will greatly drain Anthony's already almost bottomed physical energy. And that's why Anthony doesn't like to be on defense.

However, Anthony will have to stick to the pitch now. Because without him as the top scorer, the Knicks will be completely cool in this game.

But Anthony was there, and he didn't see much help to the Knicks. Although Leonard will not keep Anthony clean, Anthony's low scoring efficiency will not play a role in chasing points.

Watching his top scorer be locked so badly by Henson with a rookie, Mike. Woodson was already sluggish.

The offense can't score, the defense can't defend. How else can you win this kind of ball? Press the pause button and restart the game?

It's a pity that there is no pause button in reality. Sometimes, you have to accept the fact of failure.

In the final 1:45 of the fourth quarter, Mike. Woodson replaced Anthony anyway. Anthony walked off the court slowly with his waist crossed, without even high-fiveing his teammates who had replaced him.

He finished with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists on 4-of-16 shooting. Anthony's stats are not to mention the fans, and even he himself is certainly not satisfied.

Sitting back on the bench, Anthony took the staff's towel, put it over his head, and buried his head deep in his hands.

Losing this game means that the Knicks are basically "connected" with two consecutive defeats.

Anthony's depressed expression and today's struggling performance made Brin shake his head.

"Henson is such a torture king." Brynn said this casually, and from then on Henson had a new nickname.
