I thought that the last master and disciple single quarter 20 points, the whole field slash 30+ is just a flash in the pan, a bit of an inexplicable outbreak of meaning, and then the Pacers against the Jazz, the master and brother exploded again. In the 28 minutes of the debut, 7 of 12 shots frantically cut 16 points, 6 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals, only 1 turnover in the whole game, you must know that this is still facing the Western Conference Jazz! Walkers swing? This is also a hammer, as soon as the master and disciple return, the walkers will live immediately! Sometimes you really don't believe it, although the Players of the Pacers are gone, the coach is gone, but as soon as Stephenson comes back, he knows exactly how to play on this team!
At the beginning, the Pacers actually just wanted Stephenson to be an ordinary rotation, at most ten minutes per game, and the result was that the first game could not be stopped, and hardened in a single quarter, and the Pacers looked at this posture, did not say much, and directly let Stephenson sit firmly in the position of the sixth person. And then there's no more, Stephenson is much better than Lamb and Holliday. The last game was to show his offensive talent with scoring madness, and this game showed his passing ability to the fullest.
After being placed in the sixth person position, Stephenson almost has the Absolute Ball Rights and Possession rights of the Pacers, at this time the master and brother play much calmer, assisting the inside dunk, assisting the outside three points, the inside and outside shots constantly create opportunities for teammates, the Pacers' offense is like being opened, completely unstoppable. And looking at this situation, the pacers seem to have the intention of changing. After a series of losses at the beginning of the season, the Pacers were almost ready to swing, and Sabonis Jr. and Turner were once put on the shelves, but now that means looking, the Pacers really don't want to be so direct.
Obviously, Stephenson's appearance is a variable! It turns out that the Pacers have not been bad in the past two years, and the difference is a stable outside guard. Look at the Pacers' backcourt with Holliday, Brogdon, Lamb's duo! Only Brogdon is a really good defender who can handle the ball, Holliday and Lamb are both offensive, and when Brogdon can't play, the Pacers don't have a pass. And the master and disciple came back like this, almost perfectly fit the position of the sixth person.
And as far as the performance of the master and disciple is concerned, whether you have a flash of inspiration, the previous one was 20+ in a single quarter, and the last one was 14 assists and 1 turnover in a single game, which is worth the Pacers to give him a contract. Stephenson's age is not small, and it is certainly unrealistic to play when the core is played, but when a rotation looks like Stephenson is still very stable. Of course, there are also some confusing things in it, the Pacers seem to have a buff bonus for Stephenson, after returning to the Pacers, Stephenson's style of play has changed, all kinds of quarterbacks' long passes, all kinds of flashing baskets, outside the three-point line is more stable can not do, can only say that Stephenson is still the Pacers in the end!
