On January 6, Beijing time, although the Pacers were defeated by the Nets' big reversal, "temporary worker" Stephenson played a historic game, he scored 20 points on the bench in the first quarter of 6 minutes, 8 of 9, creating the first record for the first quarter of NBA history. In the whole game, Stephenson blasted 30 points and 5 assists on 12 of 19, including 4 of 8 of three points, no doubt such a performance is expected to get a regular contract, and it is also on the national hot search.
When Stephenson once faded out of the NBA, he began to play in overseas leagues, and once briefly played for the CBA Liaoning men's basketball team, but eventually broke up. Now that Stephenson is back in the NBA on a ten-day contract, it is natural to lament that he is still joining the Pacers he used to play for.
Stephenson made his debut return to the Pacers' home game, playing half of the game off the bench in the first quarter, and the crazy 8-of-9 continued to violently cut points and completely blew up the Nets' outside defense. Stephenson hit four three-pointers in the half of the quarter and continued to shoot points, scoring 20 points in a single quarter, setting a record for the first quarter of NBA history, and one-man scoring equal to the Nets' big three's first-quarter scores combined.
Stephenson's performance was amazing, he scored 24 points in the first half, blasted 28 points and five assists in the third quarter, led the Pacers to continue to suppress the Nets, and even the Pacers had a 19-point advantage in the most moments of the game. Stephenson also delivered five assists to become the team's second-place organiser, showing his organisational talent.
It was only the Pacers whose defense collapsed in the last two quarters, they conceded 69 points in the second quarter, and swallowed 6 blue and white by the Nets' big reversal, and Stephenson's performance was still impeccable.
At halftime, Stephenson said in an interview, "I'm prepared for two years, just for this moment to come." I'm happy to finally be able to go home, and I'm happy to try to play, play with my teammates, play the right way, and pass on the spirit of good basketball. ”
