Chapter 21 (1/2)
Before the game began, Paul George had told Stephenson countless good words about link.
At first, Stephenson also thought that George just liked his college teammates too much, so he said that link was very strong. But if he's really that good, will he still be in the draft?
But after today's real fight with link, Stephenson found that this Chinese American player seems to be more powerful than George described!
In the first goal, link blocked Stephenson with a textbook defense. And in the case of speed is not fast, only with the pass to complete the fast break.
Stephenson has played for so many years that he knows which players are easy to mess with and which ones are not. Sometimes, in just one round, he can roughly estimate the strength of a player.
Unfortunately, a guy like link who can predict the next move of an attacking player is the most terrifying.
”Lance, keep up your spirits and conduct the ball more!”
Seeing Stevenson in a daze on the court, crazy ants coach Steve gancy roared in a hurry.
Although Stephenson is a thorn in the head, he is also the hope of the mad ants to win. If he becomes overwhelmed on the court, the whole attack of the mad ants will stop.
After hearing Ganxi's cry, Stephenson recovered. He raised his hand to his own point guard to get the ball, but just after receiving the basketball, he met linck's close pressure.
The Chinese fifth is not going to give ”son of New York” any chance!
”The confrontation between the two sides is very fierce. If you want me to say, this group of matches is the competition of NBA level.”
The commentator is so attentive that he can see NBA level opposition in the game of Development League, which is a rare performance.
Stephenson arched link with his head, and link just raised his arms high without any extra movement.
Although link's personality and Grant Hill are completely different, but in the playing habits, link also inherited hill.
As we all know, hill has always been a modest gentleman, a good gentleman. His amiable personality and Iverson's unruly are two extremes. A good man like hill plays very clean.
Without a foul, Stephenson had to find a way to break through with minimal space. He tried twice, but both were blocked by link.
The space is too small for Stephenson to be aware of anything he wants to do. And with link so close, Stephenson couldn't play his speed advantage.
”Stephenson is in a hard fight. He can hardly move! Link's defense today was absolutely superb, and Stephenson had to choose the pass
Stephenson passed the ball, but his pass didn't mean much. Because this pass is not to organize the attack, but forced to pass.
After the pass, Stephenson looked down again. Where did he stand when he received the ball, where he still stood after the pass.
That is to say, when link defends him, Stephenson does not even step out, he is completely locked in place!
It's not the first time Stevenson has been prevented from standing still since he entered the draft. But unlike today, the last time Stevenson was so embarrassed was in the NBA, because he played against Kobe.
But today... He got sucked out of a draft. After
returns from the development alliance, Stephenson must make complaints about George.
He made his former teammate a little too weak.
Larry Bird has always had a goal in his heart, that is to be a godfather of basketball like Auerbach. How important Auerbach is to Celtic, it is not necessary to elaborate too much. And what Byrd wanted to do was belong to Auerbach in Indianapolis.
Although he retired as head coach, Byrd has done well in the management of the team in recent years. Today, he has become the Pacers basketball operations chairman, he chose George and Stephenson with a first round 10th and a second round 10th, and he believes his choice will make the team better.
About Paul George, Larry Bird isn't really worried. Although the boy is scoring less than 10 points per game, his talent on the court is visible to the naked eye.
