George's three-pointer and Antetokounmpo's dunk made a subtle change in the situation on the court. It's just that Thompson's miraculous performance has kept everyone on the Warriors team confident. Among them, including Steve. Cole.

Before the game began, Cole was wary of Henson. But so far in the game, Kerr didn't continue to figure out what Henson was doing.

Because in his opinion, Henson did everything in vain.

Henson, on the other hand, never does anything in vain.

The two sides played on the court for a few more minutes, but the difference was not pressed by the Pacers again. Thanks to two open cut layups from Thompson, the Warriors held a double-digit deficit. So far, Thompson has scored 36 points. Today, it was a sure thing that he would break 40 points.

So, in most people's eyes, the game was still just Thompson's solo show. The walker is just a beautiful backdrop.

Five minutes into the second quarter, Henson called a timeout. It's time to carry out the second phase of the turnaround plan.

"Well done, well done. We stabilized the margin and didn't continue to be pulled away by them. Well done, guys, I'm so proud of you. Next, Lance, you take Paul's place and give Chris a little rest. Janis, you go back to the number four position, and Frye gets a break. Bojan, it's time, you go! Remember, if you go according to the plan, no one will be able to do anything to you! ”

Henson said, and walked over to Bojan. Bogdanovic patted the strong white man on the shoulder, "Go ahead, I believe in you, you will be our key to winning today." ”

Henson's words made Bogdanovic's eyes widen. He nodded vigorously, then moved his arm.

"I believe in you.

This is the first time that a coach has said such things to Bogdanovic since he entered the NBA.

In the 2011 draft, the Brooklyn Nets selected 22-year-old Bojan. Bogdanovic. Being selected in the first round as an international player should have been a success. But for Bogdanovic, it was his first blow.

The bias that white shooters have a hard time succeeding in the NBA kept the Nets from signing Bogdanovic until 2014, when he was 25 years old.

And as an "older rookie", Bogdanovic is even more distrusted. What's more, in the Nets, a team that has been losing, Bogdanovic is also considered a player that only the Nets want.

So this summer, he was packed up and sent to Indianapolis with Lopez.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would gain trust here.

Although Henson did not let Bogdanovic play for too long this season, and in some games Bogdanovic was not even able to play at all. But Henson's attitude towards Bogdanovic is different from that of other coaches.

He always looked at the Croatian in the face, set up tactics for him, praised his performances and summarized his mistakes. And, will look at him with a firm look in his eyes, "I believe in you." ”

Henson said he needed a three-point shot. Bogdanovic knew it was time for him to repay Henson's trust!

After saying goodbye to Bogdanovic, Henson also gave Stephenson a look to the eye. It's just that no one knows what this "bastard master and apprentice" is going to do.

"I have to say that the Warriors still crushed the Pacers very badly. Halfway through the third quarter, they were still trailing by 10 points. ”

"Please, the highlight of today's game is not the winner at all, because the winner has already been decided. Now the only suspense is that Clay. How many points will Thompson score today. ”

While the commentators were still talking, an electronic beep sounded and the game resumed.

Both sides made personnel adjustments, and on the Warriors' side, Kerr replaced Curry and Durant, undoubtedly wanting Klay to continue to perform, and saving Curry and Durant's physical strength so that they could completely end the game in the fourth quarter.

On the Pacers' side, Henson brought up two players who usually rarely showed their faces.

"Stephenson and Bogdanovic? What the hell is Henson going to do again? "Mike. Brin looked confused, he originally thought that even if Henson had to make a substitution, he would exchange Brogdon and Oladipo. After all, those two guards are the stars of the Pacers' bench.

But Henson is going to tell everyone today that Lao Tzu's bench is full of stars! Every one of my people stands up and can play an indispensable role!

The game restarted with the Pacers attacking first. Now, even without Kerr, the Warriors players know what to do.

Focus on George and Antetokounmpo, while beware of Bogdanovic and Lopez, two white batteries.

Stevenson? That guy just loves it.

If it had been four or five years ago, Kerr might have been worried about Stephenson. But now Stephenson's form has dropped significantly compared to the three-game winning period. If Stephenson had accepted the Pacers' long-term contract that year, he would now be able to earn at least $5 million a year.

But after a walk, Stephenson's annual salary this season is only $1.23 million...... This is the typical person who will not die if he does not die, and Cole does not think that he can play a role in this sick brain. Henson replaced him just to give Paul and Brogdon a break.

Stephenson bounced around possession of the ball past half-time, gesturing as usual to mean nothing, just to pretend to be pressing.

Defending Stephenson is also a Pacers veteran, and it is Sean, who was reborn in the Pacers. Livingston. Today, Livingston is one of the most popular players in the Bay Area and an integral part of the Warriors.

People thought that Stephenson's role was just to take the ball through the half court, but Antetokounmpo played a pick-and-roll with Stephenson.

Stephenson doesn't care so much, he just shoots with the ball. In his world, he's Jordan.

Livingston was delayed, Draymond. Green actively defended Stephenson after he burst near the baseline, but suddenly held up the basketball with one hand, and then shot directly.

A one-handed ball support shot at a zero-degree angle...... Stephenson's bizarre shooting choices left Green unpredictable, and interference was naturally a step slower. So, Stephenson scored a "balloon".

"Coach Henson must have been half angry, and I can assure you that wasn't the way it was originally played." Mike. Brin shook his head, Stephenson was no longer the angry New York street kid he used to be. But, don't expect him to be normal.

But in reality, Henson was not angry at all.

"What about your toughness? How are you like a marshmallow, man. ”

Just when everyone thought the offense was over, Stephenson raised an eyebrow at Green after the goal and then spewed a trash word.

He didn't win Henson in the pre-game scolding game, and he was just blocked by Antetokounmpo again...... Green was already very annoyed today, and now, Stephenson came to stimulate him again, can Green stand it!?

"Fuck you, you ant is not qualified to talk to me, I will beat you so that your mother doesn't even know you." Green responded angrily, and the trash talk of the two successfully attracted the attention of the referee.

After that, the referee will keep his eyes on them.

A follow-up attack, Clay. Thompson asks for the ball as he runs. But Green didn't respond to Thompson, but started to dribble himself outside the three-point line, ready to break through with the ball!

He's going to get face back, he's going to show the world that Green isn't something you can mess with. On top of that, Green believes it's the Warriors controlling the tempo anyway. It doesn't hurt to play a round or two once in a while.

Henson smiled slightly, Stephenson was so fucking useful. The 1.23 million is worth it!

Five seconds later, Draymond. Green missed. During the breakaway, the basketball in Green's hand was stabbed away by Antetokounmpo's long arm. Steve. Cole is extremely corrupt and smashes a tactical board. I don't know, I thought it was the Warriors who were behind.

After the steal, Antetokounmpo made a quick push with the ball in his own hand. The Warriors were quick to step back and have a clear defensive focus, with Antetokounmpo and George.

Antetokounmpo drove straight to the basket, Draymond. Green is also ready to jump and chase the risk.

But instead of ravaging the basket this time, the Greek jumped up to attract the defense and took the ball to the outside of the three-point line!

In the overlooked bottom right corner, Croatian shooter Bogdanovic, known as "Little Peja", received a basketball. All he heard was Henson's "I believe in you" in his ears, and then he made a decisive move.

Green has a long mouth, and it is very cheap to cause the opponent to score after a mistake. He prayed countless times in his heart, praying that the basketball would never go in.

But Green, like Henson, is a wicked man. And God has no mercy on the wicked.

"Brush!"

"Scored, Bogdanovic's three points are solid! 5 points, the Warriors are only 5 points ahead now! Can you believe it? With Klay playing such a terrible performance, the Pacers can actually come back to life! "Mike. Brin fell into a frenzy, and he climbed straight to the commentary platform.

"You idiot, thank you for your mistake." Green was angry, and Stephenson came to his side again and began to read it in pieces.

"Fuck off, I don't talk to garbage!"

This time, Green didn't dare to mess around. He played tactics honestly and fed the ball to Klay, who had already scored 36 points before the end of the third quarter.

But this time, Klay's shot didn't go in. This is basketball, even if a player has a good hand, it is impossible to shoot every ball.

Lopez stuck in position, and Antetokounmpo laughed at the rebound. Henson clenched his fists, "Push harder!" ”

The Pacers wanted to launch a fast break right away, but Stephenson's advance was blocked by Livingston. Livingston's defensive prowess was already excellent, and he almost dropped Stephenson.

Stephenson didn't panic, he caught a glimpse of Bogdanovic on his right and started passing.

When Bogdanovic received the basketball, he was two steps away from the three-point line, so Iguodala didn't stick him to death, but "sat and waited" outside the three-point line.

Seeing this situation, Bogdanovic, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly pulled out his hand directly and threw a "Warrior-style" unreasonable three-point shot!

Iguodala was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to block it, but because he was in too much of a hurry, he didn't control his body well, and he knocked Bogdanovic to the ground!

When the referee's whistle blew, Kerr covered his head, this is three free throws!

But soon, Cole found himself overthinking. It's not three free throws, it's a four!

"In! Second three-pointer in a row! Oh my God, Bogdanovic! He reciprocated Henson's trust in him, and he also silenced those bad voices! Bojan. Bogdanovic, he has a chance to close the gap to just one point! ”

Stephenson excitedly ran towards Bogdanovic and helped him up. But on the way, he bumped into Green intentionally or unintentionally.

Green couldn't bear it, how dare a piece of garbage treat himself like this!? You know, he's a player that even James dares to scare.

So, Green rushed up and shoved Stephenson hard. Suddenly, the scene became chaotic.

Kerr yelled on the sidelines, the players tugged and pulled, and the referee's whistle kept blaring.

Henson laughed because his plan had succeeded. Stephenson and Bojan, both did what they were good at.
