The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 113: : Consider the second round

113 to 95, Howard had 46 points and 19 rebounds. Seeing these two sets of data, people must think that the 113 points are magic.

In fact, the Magic is the loser.

"The game is over, listen to the shouts of the Pacers fans! Although the game entered the garbage time early, the Pacers fans still chose to stay on the scene and celebrate their first game in four years with the team. Win the playoffs!"

Reggie Miller raised the volume as much as possible and shouted. If he didn't speak louder, his voice would soon be drowned out by the cheers of the fans.

At the end of the game, the players beside Henson all rushed into the court, hugging and celebrating each other.

This is the first playoff victory for this group of young people, and their opponents are still the more promising Orlando Magic.

Before the game began, the voices of doubt and the look of contempt, undoubtedly made the boys very aggrieved. And now, with the advent of the victory of the game, all the frustrations broke out for joy, making them excited to embrace their victory on the court.

Once again, the Pacers made all those who didn't look good on them speechless!

The on-site photographer's lens was given to the celebratory Pacers players, and then it was aimed at Henson.

Henson was very calm. He stood on the sidelines with his arms around his chest and looked at his players with a faint smile. He didn't run across the court wearing suits like he used to.

Of course he was not unhappy, but Henson completed two achievements at once after the game, and at this time he was busy choosing rewards.

Leading the team into the playoffs and achieving their first victory in the playoffs, once again faced with the reward of six selections, Henson couldn't mention how beautiful he was.

This time, Henson upgraded his quick recovery badge and injury reduction badge, so that both badges became level 2 and got a 20% bonus effect.

As long as injuries can be avoided as much as possible, Henson is confident that the Pacers will rush all the way on the right path.

How many teams and players were destroyed due to injuries? Henson now has the opportunity to avoid all these accidents.

"This game is much easier than imagined, man." After Henson chose the reward, he smiled and hugged his assistant and friend Vogel. Before the game started, Vogel was more nervous than Henson.

"Plan, you always have a plan, Henson." Vogel shook his head and opened up to let the opposing star bombard and win the game. This kind of thing may only be done by Crazy Henson.

Henson's "wild way" sometimes makes Vogel feel unacceptable, but as long as he can win, it doesn't matter how strange the tactics Henson uses.

At a press conference after the game, Stan Van Gundy claimed that the loss of the game was just an accident. The team will regroup, strive to get an away victory, and reverse the situation at home.

Henson sneered at this statement, "Any loss is an accident. The question is, can we correct the accident."

In the second game of the Magic and Pacers series on April 19, Van Gundy failed to correct the accident, and Henson created another accident for the Magic.

In this game, the Magic has recovered a bit of state, but the state is still average. The Magic's three-point shooting percentage in the entire game was still only 28.6%, and the Pacers' infinite defense changes on the outside made the Magic shooters no shot space.

Turkoglu made 1 of 6 three points, Nelson 1 of 7 and Redick 1 of 4... It seems that the Magic will be sent to the grave again. Fortunately, at the end of the game, "AQ" Quentin. Richardson hit three consecutive three-pointers, allowing the Magic to chase the score to only 1 point.

However, in the last 5.4 seconds, Granger hit the quasi lore with a cold-blooded long shot, completely killing the game. This star, who is least like a star, won the respect of all fans at his home court today.

94 to 90, the Pacers made another move, keeping all two home victories.

Howard scored 21+15 in this game, but still fell short.

Two days later, the Magic finally regained a victory at home. After winning a game, Van Gundy told reporters impatiently: "We will definitely equalize in Orlando and advance to the next round!"

Where is Henson? He didn't seem to be annoyed by the defeat: "Tigers doze sometimes."

In the fourth game of the series, the Tigers from Indianapolis regained consciousness.

Granger and Holiday scored 30 points each, the Magic's outside defense was useless. Under the two positive breakthroughs, Howard could not hesitate Horford. As a result, Horford walked 5 of 7 shots from beyond the arc and scored 25 points in one fell swoop. The trio scored 85 points, making Arenas's 20 points worthless.

116 to 100, Van Gundy just said that the Magic will be resurrected, and the Magic was beaten to death by a huge disadvantage of 16 points. Even Henson felt embarrassed for him.

During the press conference, reporters asked Henson. "In the next game, will you arrange any special arrangements for Arenas?"

Henson looked at the reporter in surprise after hearing the question, and the reporter thought he had said something wrong.

"The next game? Arenas? No, no, no, I didn't think about the next game, I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round!"

Now, the reporters were surprised. How did you hear this sentence before?

At this point, the total score of the series has become 3 to 1. In the next game in Indianapolis, the Magic will face a "win or go home" battle of life and death.

Even though the last time there was a 1-3 playoff reversal in NBA history, it was already in 2006, but the Magic fans who were irritated by Henson’s remarks still firmly believe that the omnipotent Warcraft can help the team create history.

It stands to reason that the same is true. In the face of this kind of life and death situation, the star players generally work hard. In the first game of the series, Howard scored a 46+19 horror data, so people are expecting that Howard can show a more exaggerated performance in the life and death situation.

Fans are waiting to see Howard clean up the insulting Henson, waiting to see Henson who is already considering the next round of opponents embarrassed. And Howard himself? He was tired, he was almost alone in the four games, and he was tired.

In the first game of the series, Howard was able to win 46+19 because he only wanted to lead the team to advancement. Now, Howard thinks more about his next stop.

So in this high-profile life and death battle, "Warcraft" Howard only took 5 shots and only hit one goal. Only 8 points and 8 rebounds were accounted for in the entire game. His sleepwalking performance made the game lose suspense after only half of the game.

"Dwight's sudden loss was something no one had expected. He completely dominated the penalty area in the first four games of the series. Today, it seems that his fighting spirit is not high. Perhaps, the 1-3 situation has made Howard give up hope? "

Reggie Miller was right. Even Henson didn't expect Howard would be like this today. Could it be that his mouth is too poisonous, which made Howard lose his confidence?

Considering the words of the opponent in the next round, it should be more poisonous to oneself.

So this fierce battle of life and death ended with a ridiculous score of 101 to 76. Howard became a lonely hero, and the Magic management did not know that this time the loss of the playoffs also made their head center lose all patience.

4 to 1, Henson, who played the playoffs for the first time, led the Pacers to defeat the Orlando Magic, the veteran of the East, and easily advanced to the second round!

Indianapolis fell into madness. The second round of the playoffs. Before the start of this season, who can believe that the Pacers can advance to the playoffs?

Of course, it's not just Indianapolis who are cheering at this time.

At this time, in Philadelphia, the Chicago Bulls, which had a 3-1 lead, have also booked the next promotion spot.

Tom Thibodeau, the coach who formed a relationship with Henson in the regular season, is also considering the next round of opponents.

"I look forward to playing against Coach Henson and taking the victory away from him." Thibodeau thought of his opponent in the next round and couldn't help squeezing his fists.

It's really a narrow road.
