103: Sons of New York

"Born ready", perhaps even the New York fans themselves have forgotten Stephenson's once domineering nickname.

The genius who flattened his adult at Rock Park at the age of 16 is now the laughing stock of all New Yorkers.

On the day of the draft, the Knicks held the 8th and 9th picks in the second round, and Stephenson thought his hometown team would take him in.

However, it turns out that the Knicks don't welcome this "idiot." They chose Fields, and the former "Sons of New York" fell to the Pacers.

But now it seems that Stephenson's fall into Henson's hands may be a good thing. If he had stayed in the glittering city of New York City, he would have been scrapped long ago.

Stephenson looked around the stands at the hypocritical fans who once put the name of genius on him and now pointed fingers at him.

They were the ones who single-handedly pushed Stephenson into heaven, and in the end, they were the ones who sent this poor kid with an immature mind to hell.

"Lance, give me focus!" Just then, Stephenson heard a familiar roar.

He turned his head to look and saw the Chinese coach who suddenly appeared at his home and asked if he would like to defend.

Would you like to? As long as I can kick these New Yorkers in the ass, I'll do whatever you want me to do!

The game restarted, and the Knicks narrowed the gap to four points at one point with their excellent play on the front line. Henson. Coach Joe has made some personnel adjustments, and it seems that Knicks fans have reacted a lot to this personnel adjustment. "Marven. Albert's laughter added to the tension of the battle, but the players, who couldn't hear Albert's voice, didn't relax in the slightest.

Take, for example, Stephenson.

The Pacers' offense, as always, sought opportunities by passing the ball more and more quickly. But the Knicks have also found a way to defend this offense, which is to not give the Pacers room to shoot.

This trick is good for Green and Matthews, but not so good for George and Stephenson.

George receives the ball from Holiday on the right side, and Sean Brown. Williams, as always, raised his arms and pressed forward.

George made a false shot, and then quickly entered the penalty area!

The young striker's speed is completely out of proportion to his height, and at 2.06m, he runs as fast as a small defender.

This time, however, George's breakthrough did not result in a goal, as Stoudemire's aggressive defensive play interfered with George.

Although George is much stronger than when Henson first met him, his confrontation ability is obviously still a little worse. After a tough block in the air by Stoudemire, George's layup also went haywire, knocking into the left side of the basket.

"Beautiful defense, Stoudemire's performance in the second quarter was simply ......"

Before Albert finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed into the restricted area, and before everyone could react, he jumped high and slammed the basketball back with a dunk.

The audience was amazed, and the fans fixed their eyes on the figure hanging on the basket, wearing the No. 1 jersey!

"Lance. Stevenson! Haha, did you see that!? An ornamental touch! No one thought he would slip in, no one thought a guard player would be able to fight for an offensive rebound! As soon as Stephenson came on the court, he gave the Knicks a slap in the face! "Marven. Albert yelled excitedly, as if he had seen the streetball commentator Stephenson abusing adults in 2006.

Letting go and landing, Stephenson glared at Fields. Originally, the Knicks gave up Stephenson for the sake of this white guard.

The audience immediately booed, but Stephenson didn't care, and instead opened his hand to his ear.

"You give me a louder!"

Although he scored a goal by making up for the dunk, the momentum of the game was still not completely reversed. D'Antoni yelled at the players to be steady, to keep the situation steady before Anthony came on the pitch!

Sean. Williams repeated his old tricks, playing pick-and-rolls, forcing the Pacers to switch positions. He avoided George, who was as tall as himself, and switched to Stephenson, who was 1.96 meters tall.

This time, though, Williams was the wrong opponent.

Stephenson didn't wait for Williams to react, and actively stole the ball! Williams is not a good ball-handling striker, and his high center of gravity makes him not very good at protecting the ball.

Stephenson cleanly slapped the basketball out of Williams' hand, but the basketball didn't belong to either side and instead staggered to the frontcourt.

As soon as Williams turned around, he found that Stephenson had already jumped to the basketball!

He fought.

The aggressive Stephenson got possession for the Pacers, and he passed the ball to Paul, who was rushing forward. George! George accelerated, and Fields couldn't catch up with him at all! Boom! With a one-handed dunk, Stephenson put together an easy scoring opportunity for the Pacers. "Marven. Williams' mouth spat words like a machine gun, because that's how quickly the situation is on the field.

Subsequently, the camera was given to Stephenson. There is no hippie smile on the face of this "comic" face, but perseverance, toughness, and murderousness!

"Mike!" Seeing that the score difference was widened to 8 points again, Anthony couldn't sit still.

"Last round, Cameron, you go to the technical table and prepare!" D'Antoni is a little angry, can just one Stephenson curb the Knicks' counterattack?

The final round, which was both D'Antoni's last round to prove his system, was also the last round for Sean. Williams proved himself in the final round.

Stoudemire sat inside and was caught between George and Horford. He had to give the ball to Williams, who was ambushed in the bottom corner. Williams picked up his shot, fantasizing about turning the tide with his third three-pointer of the game.

But he had barely jumped halfway through when that obnoxious Stephenson was overshadowed.

Williams knows very well that if he shoots this ball strongly, even if it is not blocked, it will be difficult to hit the shot.

So Sean. Williams suddenly changed his mind and he switched to a pass, targeting Fields, who was vacated by Stephenson.

However, Fields didn't expect Williams to pass the ball suddenly, and Williams' turn to pass was too high.

As a result, Fields did his best to jump, but the ball still ran through his fingertips and went straight to the bottom corner of the other half.

"You're a fucking shot, idiot!" Stephenson chattered, upsetting Williams, who had made two consecutive turnovers.

Of course, he didn't have a chance to get tangled with Stephenson anymore. Basketball goes out of bounds, the game dies. Anthony couldn't wait to run onto the pitch and left only one word for Williams.

"Let's go down!"

Sean. Williams, the short-lived high forward, lost all his chances in the game!

"Lance. Stephenson, his aggressive defense forced Sean. Williams had his second consecutive turnover. The good news for the Knicks is that Anthony has had enough rest. The bad news is that the margin has become 8 points again! ”

D'Antoni, who had been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, stood on the sidelines again anxiously, while Henson sat back comfortably.

When it was my turn, I pretended to be forced.

Anthony's return means that the Knicks' style of play is now controlled by Anthony, not the head coach of D'Antoni.

Singles, endless singles. Something like 0 assists per game is a common occurrence for Anthony.

Except for the 06-07 season, when he was still a "little melon", he averaged 3.8 assists per game, and his average assists per game in the following seasons were decreasing year by year.

Singles, even with a Stoudemire standing next to Anthony, can't stop his desire to play singles.

He attacked George on the right side and scored on a difficult layup.

He arced up to shoot and became a two-point long because he stepped on the line.

He ignored Billups, who was in the open position, and put the ball in the hoop with Horford and George.

He's still the same Anthony, the omnipotent Anthony. At the end of the half, Anthony scored 20 points in the half, and his star was so bright that everyone was overshadowed.

Then, Anthony looked up at the big screen on the scene. 46-54, the New York Knicks trailed by eight points heading into the second half......

"The combination of Stephenson and George's sudden shooting made the Pacers' offense unguardable, and Coach Henson's substitution was a stroke of genius, blocking the Knicks' counterattack in one fell swoop, and even if Carme made a grand new arrival, it still failed to make the Knicks rise again."

At the end of the half, Stephenson, who scored 6 points, 2 steals, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, walked off the court. And at this time, no New Yorker dared to boo him. After all, this guy didn't play in the first quarter. It took almost half a quarter to get this statistic.

Landry. Fields, the second quarter of the game was burst into a sieve by Stephenson.

Henson was pulled to the sidelines for a half-time interview. The reporter's problem is also related to Henson's timely substitution.

"George and Stephenson were fantastic, and I believed that before I came on with them. Especially Stephenson. The New Yorkers know he's great, but they don't seem to be getting Stephenson to play well. Perhaps, this is the so-called 'hometown discount'. ”

Henson was in a good mood, but he sat for a long time in the second quarter of the game and his butt hurt a little.
