The Basketball Court Swordsman

"What are you kidding? Lance Stephenson? Triple double?"

During the intermission, when Henson said that "there will be a triple-double today", everyone was stunned.

Although he didn't name him by name, but from the reporter's question, the person that Henson was referring to was Stephenson who could get the triple-double.

Once this was said, let alone whether other fans would laugh at Henson. Even some Pacers fans feel that Henson is playing a little big this time.

23 years old, the 40th overall pick in 2010, most of the bench role in the team...These three conditions alone are destined to make Stephenson a far cry from the triple double.

At first, people thought that Henson was joking, or that Stephenson was playing.

But after the second half of the game began, people discovered that Henson was serious...

"Chris Paul controls the basketball. Once again, CP3 handed the ball to Stephenson! Stephenson shot a three-pointer from a big step away from the three-point line! Beautiful, actually made it! Hahahaha, I can guarantee that if Stephenson didn't make this goal, Coach Henson would take off his shoes and rush into the court!"

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Stephenson made a high-profile debut with an ultra-long three-pointer. It can be seen that Stephenson's unreasonable offensive methods have completely disrupted the Grizzlies.

And the whole second half was Stephenson's performance moment!

After passing through West’s screen, he breaks through the basket, and then throws the ball indiscriminately. That’s right, in Henson’s words, it’s not a pass, but a throwing ball indiscriminately, assisting West. Steady shot succeeded.

Stephenson is this kind of player. You always think he is unreliable, and you always think he is making trouble on the court. As a result, he was stunned to be able to help the team in this tricky way.

Two minutes later, Stephenson rushed to grab the offensive rebound, although Tyshaun Prince said that the ball was suspected of pushing. But whether it is clean or not, it is true that Stephenson got the rebound.

After getting the offensive rebound, Stephenson threw the ball to the outside. Henson didn't know if Stephenson saw any outside teammates in this ball. He was very capable. This guy was really just throwing the ball out indiscriminately.

But the result was good. George received the basketball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and easily took the open shot. Stephenson, the guard, won a second offensive opportunity for the Pacers.

One offense, one rebound and one assist. At that time, people realized that Henson was not joking!

The emergence of Stephenson, a spoiler, also liberated others to a certain extent. He disrupted the Grizzlies defense, but did not disrupt the Pacers offense.

George, CP3 and Horford were completely freed, and they used efficient offense to give the Grizzlies a fatal blow. After hitting the middle of the third quarter, the Pacers have achieved a 10-point lead.

In the last three minutes of the third quarter, Stephenson still held the ball personally after grabbing the rebound. At this time, Stephenson has scored 10 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. Three pairs, it looks like it's within reach!

This time, Stephenson grabbed the ball with one hand and then suddenly stretched the ball to Tony Allen's eyes, successfully scaring the opponent.

Henson was stunned. He didn't know what this guy was thinking. It's like last season's Eastern Conference Finals. He didn't know how Stephenson would think of playing James' ears...

"What is this guy doing!? Why does he like to catch the ball with one hand so much!? Does he think he is Michael Jordan?" Reggie Miller smiled staggeringly, and Jordan did it with his one-handed catch. Many handsome fake moves. But Stephenson's one-handed catching motion and the word "handsome" can't go hand in hand.

Stephenson's action successfully scared Tony Allen, but he was also successfully called a technical foul by the referee. The referee does not think he is shaking people, but deliberately disturbing the court order.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, which may be the most funny way for home team fans to obtain technical fouls.

Of course, this is just one of the few mistakes Stephenson made on the court today. Generally speaking, his occasional IQ is not online and still can't hide his light today.

At 3 minutes and 48 seconds of the fourth quarter, Stephenson lost his center of gravity by Randolph's tough counter-collision and fell off the court.

Just as he was about to fall, the Indianapolis No. 1 guard passed the ball in time. It is not someone else who catches the ball, it is Paul George who is actively cutting in!

At that time, everyone's attention on the Grizzlies was basically on Stephenson, and no one noticed that George had secretly cut in. When Randolph saw the orange-red afterimage passing by his eyes, he realized it, but it was too late.

George knew exactly what this goal meant for Stephenson, and he allowed himself to fail! So George was not polite, but suddenly jumped into the air like his legs tied with explosives, and under the nose of "Big Black Bear" Zach Randolph, he completed a beautiful one-handed snap button!

The whole audience was boiling, even the woman Becky Harmon screamed with excitement. The reason why the audience is so boiling is not only because of George's successful dunk, but also because this is Stephenson's 10th assist today!

"12 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Stephenson is getting closer and closer to the triple-double data! Coach Henson didn't joke with us. There will be a triple-double data today!"

Along with Reggie Miller's commentary, the live camera also gave Henson a close-up shot. And Henson was not surprised at the current situation.

He sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, with Erlang's legs tilted, and looks quite like a "Zen Master" Jackson.

After this dunk, the Grizzlies are 14 points behind the Pacers. The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and Dave Georgel's defensive system is collapsing in the Bankers' Life Arena.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Zach Randolph's mid-range was sealed to the fingertips by West. Horford stuck Gasol at the basket, and Stephenson was able to easily win the defensive rebound.

This is why Horford's data doesn't look so explosive. In many cases, he succeeded in getting stuck in a position to facilitate his teammates to get rebounds, but the data did not belong to him.

But Horford is not a player who relies on data to measure value, and he himself doesn't care much about how many rebounds he can get per game.

It seemed like an ordinary rebounding fight, but it attracted a big climax in the whole arena!

Both the fans and the players on the Pacers bench cheered. Because after grabbing this rebound, Stephenson's data has become 13 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds!

Henson said that there will be a triple-double today, so the triple-double is coming!

"Congratulations, Lance Stephenson, this is the first triple-double night of his career! It's incredible. Since Coach Henson replaced Stephenson, the Grizzlies have been suppressed by the Pacers. And Stephenson actually I won a triple-double without any warning! My God, when I was interviewed during the intermission, I thought Coach Henson was joking!"

Henson is not in the mood to joke, he knows the abilities of each of his players, and even each of the opponents. Therefore, he also knows what a player can do.

He can guarantee that this will not be Stephenson's last triple-double this season. But after thinking about it, don't tell reporters about this.

After Stephenson got a triple-double, the match has become a large party for Pacers fans and players. The embarrassing Grizzlies seemed to be just a foil.

From the beginning of the second half, the Grizzlies were offensive and unable to defend. The point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost irreparable now. Coupled with Stephenson's triple-double data, Dave Georgel realized one thing-his ability to predict the trajectory of the game is nothing compared to Henson.

The team that has reached the Western Conference Finals is still vulnerable to the defending champion!

By the way, Henson only stood up from the bench once today...

Until the electronic buzzer of the game sounded, the fans were still not satisfied. 95 to 79, the Pacers gave the Grizzlies a humiliating score. The score in 48 minutes of the game did not exceed 80 points. I really don't know if the Pacers are good defensively or the Grizzlies are bad offense.

"Six Pacers scored in double figures. Stephenson also got a triple-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists! Don't underestimate this bad boy. He thinks he is the most talented in the league. One of the players!" Reggie Miller praised Stephenson, and fans all over the world praised Stephenson, even if he got a technical foul in the game for a particularly funny reason.

But tonight, no one will treat Stephenson as a fool and a villain! This is competitive sports, where we rely on strength to speak!

"The most exciting stats tonight are neither Paul George's 23 points and Stephenson's triple-doubles, but Coach Henson, who worked as a hand-handling shopkeeper all night. I said, he will not stand up from the bench today. Three times. You lose, Webber."

Looking at the lively Banker's Life Arena, Miller felt extremely happy. For the fans of Indianapolis, this is really a pleasant evening.
