The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 108: : Happy on top of joy (2/6)

He claimed to have a big rotation, but the next day he used a surprise attack to build an advantage and defeated his opponent...Henson's tricks made Rivers laugh and cry, that **** had no credibility at all.

"Coach Rivers, are you and your players relaxed because of Henson's remarks that the team is taking turns?"

However, when faced with the question raised by the reporter, Rivers had difficulty answering.

Say slack? Wouldn't it be that you call yourself an idiot? Don't let go, but the Celtics were suppressed in the second quarter because they didn't have enough vigilance.

"Coach Henson is an unscrupulous person in order to win, and even hesitate to lie publicly. I am very indignant about this." Rivers had no choice but to answer.

Instead of "dressing" Henson as a despicable person, Rivers' answer put the label he could not afford to lose on his face.

On the other hand, Henson can still face the camera without blushing and saying: "I did take turns, but I didn’t expect that I could gain an advantage during the turns, so I temporarily decided to send all the main players on the court and finally won the game. ."

This made Rivers' face dull, and Henson's ability to talk nonsense to the camera was first-rate. Even if he didn't take a rotation today, people are now willing to believe that he really took a rotation.

So after this game, the Celtics have been criticized, including local fans in Boston have questioned the team.

Even a Pacer with a rotation can't beat it. What happened to the Celtics?

When it comes to this kind of problem, the head coach is often the first to come out. So Colin's champion coach Doug Rivers was once again "honorably" pushed to the forefront because of Henson.

The day after the game ended, Henson read the newspaper while eating breakfast at home. The victory over the Celtics made Henson a lot less pressure, and he also felt a great honor to help "old friend" Rivers in the newspaper.

"Apart from coaching ability and vicious eyes, do you know what Henson attracts me the most?" At the same time, in Bird's office, he also smiled at the newspaper from ear to ear.

"What else?" Pritchard agreed casually, he was used to Bird complimenting Henson in the office.

"It's also because this kid is cunning enough! Since the joint trial last year, I know that guy is not a good person!"

Bird was very proud, but also a little heartache. It seems that one of the collections in my garage will soon not belong to me.

After the victory over the Celtics, the Pacers in good condition immediately won the Detroit Pistons by a very short distance, ending all the games in March.

At the end of March, the Pacers had a 6-game winning streak, allowing them to secure the top five in the Eastern Conference with a record of 48 wins and 25 losses. This means that Henson's plan is successful. As long as the Pacers do not inexplicably lose all games in the last half of the month, they are destined to not meet the Celtics, Bulls and Heat in the first round.

At the same time, the Orlando Magic are under pressure, because seeing their home court advantage is gone...

Everyone thinks that Henson has been satisfied with such results, after all, the Pacers' goal this season is only to enter the playoffs. However, after entering April, the Pacers' winning streak continues.

On April 1, the Pacers beat the Bucks by 6 points at home, and the team won the season's longest 7-game winning streak.

On April 3, even though Chris Paul scored 18 points and 8 assists, the Pacers still defeated the Hornets by 8 points.

The rumors about Chris Paul's trade have now become popular, and it seems that Vivek's news is still very reliable.

Henson was a little excited at the thought that the top point guard might play under his own hands next season. But at the same time thinking that some players would leave because of this, Henson didn't dare to go deeper into the fantasy.

Things in the offseason Let's talk about the offseason, now the primary goal is to play the game well.

108 to 100, the Pacers won 8 straight, 50 wins and 25 losses!

After this game, the Pacers once again achieved 50 wins in a single season after 7 years! At the same time, the achievement of the data analysis module was unlocked, and Henson was rewarded again.

And after this game, the Pacers officially surpassed the Orlando Magic and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference! If this ranking remains until the end of the regular season, the Pacers will gain home court advantage in the first round of the series against the Magic!

This time Henson chose a very special reward, which is a phraseology called "continue shooting".

Its function is to reset a player's morale to 80 and provide players with slight attribute enhancement for the next 5 games.

This seems to be the most complicated of all the rewards Henson has received, but if Henson needs a surprise weapon, this technique may be very useful.

In the afternoon after winning 50 wins the second day, Henson went to Bird's house and, as agreed, he owned the first car of his life.

In fact, after Henson became the head coach, it was not difficult for him to buy a good car. He takes a taxi to and from get off work every day, perhaps even more expensive than buying a car by himself.

It's just that Henson found it troublesome, so he never picked his own car.

But now that Bird had brought the meat to his mouth, Henson couldn't vomit it out.

Bird is a nostalgic person. Most of his garage collections are retro cars. But even for retro models, there are some very cool models.

For example, the retro sports car that Henson picked, the Jaguar e-Type.

"Boy, you really have a vision. This car has been discontinued a long time ago, but last year Jaguar accidentally launched 50 brand new 1971 models, so I collected one. Treat her well, it's rare to see it. Collection!" Bird stroked the iconic headlights of the car. That night, Henson ran out of the vintage car and drove home.

Along the way, this car is undoubtedly the focus of people's eyes. In places like Indianapolis, it is not easy to see a retro sports car.

Henson enjoyed the roar of the car and the envy of people, and couldn't help grinning.

This kind of highly collectible retro sports car may not be bought by money, let alone Henson has not spent the money, can this mood be bad?

However, things that make Henson feel better are yet to come.

In the subsequent two regular seasons, the Pacers defeated the Wizards and the Hawks respectively, and both games were a big win with a score difference of more than 10 points.

This not only means that the Pacers have a better record, but also means that they have achieved the longest 10-game winning streak this season!

"Before the start of the season, who would have thought that Coach Henson could get a 10-game winning streak!? I believe that the majority of people who think he will be dismissed after a 10-game losing streak! But Coach Henson is more than just I have worked in the position of head coach until the end, and I am about to lead the team to the playoffs! The playoffs, this is something the Pacers have never done in 4 years!"

"Coach Henson's success proves the feasibility of his tactics. In this era when the entire league lacks super centers, maybe playing fast and playing short can really become a new tactical idea!"

"52 wins! Coach Henson achieved an outstanding result of 52 wins in his first NBA season! Larry Bird brought a very personal coach to Indianapolis, and the coach was Germany brought victory!"

For a time, Henson was almost blown up in the media. The ten-game winning streak also allowed Henson to unlock the achievement again after only 4 days!

This time, among the three optional rewards, Henson caught the "fitness plan" badge at a glance.

The effect of this badge is very scary. After equipment, the physical strength and progress speed of all players on the team can increase by 10%!

Not to mention physical fitness, all the players have increased their speed of improvement, which is almost a defying effect for Henson, because most of the main players in his team are young people with great potential! They can grow faster, which means that the Pacers can rise faster.

And if you add this badge to the badge effect that was developed to enhance the player's potential separately... Henson was overjoyed. He didn't know how many more powerful badges he hadn't unlocked. If there are more of these, let alone 52 wins next season, maybe 62 wins can be made!

Of course, Henson was not overwhelmed by the current success. After a wave of ten-game winning streak, Henson really started to take turns. He needs all players to have sufficient physical fitness to deal with the playoffs, and to advance in the playoffs is Henson's goal!

In the final round of the regular season on April 13, the Pacers' opponent was precisely their opponent in the first round of the playoffs, the Orlando Magic.

The Magic naturally also took turns, but I don't know if it was to give the Pacers a chance, the Magic players played very fiercely. Howard scored 13 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in less than 30 minutes of playing time.

In the end, the Magic slaughtered the Pacers at home with a score of 99 to 72, which was a warning to Henson.

Although "sent" the Magic a victory, in the end, the Pacers' record of 55 wins still beat the Magic's 52 wins, ranking fourth in the East.

Henson doesn't care about the result of this game. He only knows that the home court advantage is now firmly in his hands...
