Four Hundred and Forty-Four: Xiu's Scalp Is Numb

After experiencing the "sweetness" at the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies immediately showed their bloodthirsty minions. Since Link scored 4 points in a row on Stephenson, the Grizzlies have played steadily, leading by 8 points at most.

At the end of the first quarter, when Nick Young's ultra-long buzzer-beating three-pointer passed through the net, allowing the Pacers to enter the second quarter with a 7-point disadvantage, Stephenson was restless.

Watching Nick Young showing off his power on the court, Stephenson couldn't stand it. He is an arrogant person himself, and an arrogant person is the most arrogant person who is more arrogant in front of him.

In the first quarter of the game, even though Link stimulated him everywhere, Stephenson remained steady and did not lose control. He got 5 points and 2 assists, and to be honest, he played really well.

But Vogel and Bird in the box knew it was going to be difficult for Stephenson to keep his composure throughout the game. Maybe, with just a little more spark, Stephenson would explode.

Just now, Nick Young's three-pointer at the buzzer has put Stephenson on the verge of an explosion. The task of giving Stephenson the final fire naturally fell to Link, who scored 7 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the first quarter.

"Lance, calm down! We're only 7 points behind. I don't think anyone here thinks they've lost, right?" Vogel was still trying to stabilize Stephenson's emotions, but Finson had already listened. Not going in.

Now he just wants to go on the field and fight, in the roughest way possible!

In the second quarter of the game, the coaches of both sides switched back to the starting lineup. With a 7-point disadvantage, the Pacers' mentality was different from when the game started, and they seemed to be playing in a hurry.

The first attack after the Grizzlies came up in the second quarter, the ball was handed over to Link. The moment Link got the ball, Stephenson rammed it violently. If it wasn't for the Pacers' home court, it might have been called a foul.

Stephenson is making a lot of small moves now, but that's exactly what Link wants to see. This means that he is not far from a complete explosion!

Stephenson has always been a rude person. If it wasn't for the negative incident of beating up his girlfriend before the draft, it is estimated that he would not have fallen to the second round.

People don't have much doubt about Stephenson's talent and skills. In the scouting report before the draft, one of the most negative comments about Finson was, "Very emotionally unstable and extremely immature."

This is indeed his shortcoming, and also the most fatal shortcoming. Seeing that Stephenson is so irritable now, Link will not hide it. He is about to break through directly leaning on Finsen, confronting head-on, nothing can escalate the smell of gunpowder on both sides more than this.

I have to say that Stephenson's body is really strong, and he deserves to be the person who will be sent to defend James in the future. But even so, Link forced his way to the basket, and then made a layup without getting rid of Stephenson!

"Stop looking down on people, I'm not a soft persimmon!" Of course Stephenson couldn't bear to be forcibly eaten by others. He roared and raised his arms to seal! But the block could not be sealed, and instead his arm hit Link's neck, pulling Link's whole body down!

"Dudududu!" Seeing this foul, the referee didn't even think about it, and immediately stopped the game. Fouls above the torso of a player are expressly prohibited!

Link was brought down by Stephenson and hit the floor hard. But after hearing the referee's whistle, Link immediately got up. it worked,

This is what he wants!

The last spark has begun to flicker, and now, "Finsen Dynamite" should be completely detonated!

After the referee's whistle, he made a "T" gesture to Stephenson, a technical foul!

Stephenson managed to get himself into dire straits!

"My day, do you think this is a child playing a house!? Technical foul? Fuck, why don't you brag about the WNBA!?" Stephenson immediately became restless and scolded the referee.

David West hurried up and pulled Stephenson away. If he was called two technical fouls in a row for abusing the referee, the Pacers would be passive.

Link also stood up with the help of his teammates, and Iguodala patted Link on the back, signaling him to stop doing such a dangerous move.

But Link just smiled slightly, "Don't worry, only the Pacers may have been killed."

With the efforts of David West, the chattering Stephenson finally let the referee go. Link stood at the free throw line, and everyone retreated beyond the three-point line.

Although the Pacers fans made huge boos, the sound is now completely undisturbed by Link.

After one free throw, the Grizzlies had one more opportunity to attack. Now if the Grizzlies score again, the difference will be in double digits!

In the next offensive opportunity, Conley broke through and assisted Gasol with a shot. After this ball, the Pacers officially trailed the Grizzlies by 10 points. It is not easy to catch up with 10 points, and the moment to test the offensive ability of the Pacers has come.

Stephenson did his part, he decided to lead by example and fired the first shot of the counterattack for the team!

Of course, the reality is that Stephenson, who is now furious, just wants to give Link some color as soon as possible.

When the Pacers lost their last point of play, the rest was slowly dying!

Stephenson, of course, also knew that Link was very defensive. Judging from the confrontation in the first quarter, it was indeed the case. But no matter how good the defense is, hasn't he already scored 5 points? Stephenson didn't believe that Link could still get himself a clean sheet! ?

Just one word, do it!

Stephenson began to alternately dribble left and right in front of Link. With his streetball background, his ball-handling style was still a bit fancy.

Vogel and Larry Bird both stood up from the bench. Is Stephenson going to go head-to-head?

Ruined!

Link didn't sway with Stephenson's center of gravity, believing that his defensive range could hold back Stephenson's first step no matter where he went.

Moreover, Stephenson's ball control is actually not particularly stable. As long as Link doesn't shake, he still has the opportunity to steal directly.

Stephenson took advantage of the situation to speed up after a violent operation, but this guy never expected that Link could give him the most powerful block and confrontation at the first time!

After Link blocked Finsen, he saw the opportunity and was about to make a steal. Then, something unexpected happened to Link.

Stephenson actually dribbled the ball away after encountering a confrontation!

Seeing the basketball let go, the unwilling Stephenson immediately went to save the ball. But I don't know if it's because I was too impatient, Stephenson didn't shoot the basketball in the first shot, but pushed the basketball farther to the midfield line!

So, Stephenson immediately fell to the ground to save the ball. Then, as before, instead of keeping the basketball, he poked the ball further with his fingertips...

Stephenson crawls and rolls and tries to save him again. The appearance of his limbs and "squirming" on the ground makes Xiudelink's scalp numb!

In the end, Stephenson's active fighting allowed him to successfully help the Grizzlies stab the basketball across the midfield line... Link passed Stephenson who was crawling on the ground, picked up the basketball, and dunked easily Score.

Stephenson stood up and looked at his teammates with a confused look, and then looked up at the big screen.

12 points behind!

"Thanks Lance, your dribbling is very handsome!" Link smiled brightly, but Stephenson's heart was already erupting.

So this time the Pacers attacked, Stephenson, who was out of breath, held the ball again! Bird covered his face, he couldn't even imagine what else Stephenson could do!

On the court, Finson was another ferocious dribble. After speeding up the breakthrough, he was also ready to lean on Link and use a turn to pass the defender! But how could Link let him pass so easily, he was so stuck in position that Stephenson couldn't turn around at all!

This time, after being blocked by Link, Finson did not drop the ball or make a mistake.

But he found that his previous wave of slapstick manipulations was completely unnecessary, because Link didn't even bother!

In the case of being forced to stop, Stephenson finally remembered to pass the ball. But the moment he passed the ball out, the whole court was stunned!

Stephenson may have lost his sense of direction and position due to the rotation change, and he did not hesitate to pass the ball "precisely" to Iguodala of the Grizzlies!

When Iguodala received the basketball, he was stunned for a moment. Can he steal while lying down?

After being stunned for about 0.5 seconds, Iguodala remembered to push the fast break.

How can Stephenson endure two consecutive mistakes? So after the pass error, he went after Iguodala like crazy, hoping to get the ball back, hoping to make up for it.

Then, there was a situation where Paul George and Stephenson both attacked Iguodala.

"Link! Link!" George shouted anxiously to Stephenson, he came to double-team Iguodala, and Link was left unattended!

"What are you calling him for!?" Stephenson asked George loudly instead of going back.

At that moment, George felt completely defeated by this man.

So, the experienced Andre Iguodala sent the ball to Link. Link was left unattended, took the ball and went straight to the basket, dunking for the second time in a row.

George covered his head with his hands in annoyance, and Stephenson only understood why George shouted Link's name just now.

Vogel shook his head, and Bird in the luxury box was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. When Stephenson first came to Indianapolis, he was immediately arrested by the police department for something.

Then, Bird received a call from the police department. I went there and found out that it was Stephenson who left Bird's number in the emergency contact column...

Bird can understand the incredible things Stephenson has done since then.

But those two rounds just now... It's really a show.

Of course, Bird was well aware that it wasn't all Stephenson's problem. Stephenson was impulsive, but Link's crushing defense accelerated Stephenson's mistakes.

The first ball, Link's timely blocking and confrontation, was the main reason why Stephenson lost the ball. The second ball, Link, accurately stuck Stephenson's position, which was the trigger for Stephenson's mistake.

In the end, it was Link's defense that was too strong for Stephenson, which led to this series of comedies.

Bird shook his head, Stephenson is indeed a good player. However, this may be the gap between him and the top players.

At this point, the Pacers had trailed the Grizzlies by 14 points, and the Grizzlies had completely controlled the pace of the game.

Bird left the private room directly and did not watch the rest of the game. The only thing he wants to do now is to teach Stephenson a good lesson.

Contest? The result may have been doomed.
