The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 151: : Pacers gearing up

This season, the Magic's record is actually relatively poor. As a team that originally aimed at the championship, their record of 12 wins and 7 losses at this time obviously cannot be called excellent. And since defeating the Pacers, the Magic have lost two consecutive losses. This not only disappointed the Magic fans, but also disappointed Dwight Howard.

Especially in the last game, facing the rebuilding of the New Orleans Hornets, the Magic actually lost the humiliating score 67 to 93! 67 points, in modern basketball, only 67 points in four quarters of the game, this is not the score that a strong team should play!

Howard felt that he was back in the playoffs of last season. He tried very hard to win, but his teammates could not help at all.

In the game, Howard scored 28 points and 16 rebounds, destroying the Hornets' inside line. However, in addition to Howard, J.J. Redick's 9 points is the Magic's second highest score.

This feeling of doing his best but losing the game because his teammates are weak, Howard really had enough.

He likes the city of Orlando and the magic that makes him famous. But the Magic's inaction has left Howard desperately desperate for a championship. Coupled with the formation of the Heat's Big Three, Howard is also eager to form a multi-big lineup with other stars.

Now that the Magic loses an extra game, they are actually pushing Howard one more point to another team.

Stan Van Gundy is also very helpless, after all, he can't control the decision-making of the magic team. Of course, he also wants to match the MVP-level center of "Warcraft" with a few good helpers, but the fact is that the Magic management seems to be satisfied as long as the box office guarantee of Howard is left.

champion? Just like Henson told Paul, they have no desire to be champions at all!

After losing to the Hornets, the Magic team's morale was low. But at this moment, Van Gundy's "savior" Indiana Pacers is here!

The Magic's victory over the Pacers was only a week ago. And in the context of the Pacers' elimination of the Magic last season, the Magic players seem to be particularly excited when they encounter the Pacers.

In the last game, Ryan Anderson broke out without warning?

Van Gundy believes that as long as they can defeat the Pacers, the second team in the Eastern Conference, the Magic will not collapse! Van Gundy desperately needs a victory to stabilize the situation, and in his opinion, the Indiana Pacers are the best opponent!

"We are full of confidence in the game. After all, we just won the Pacers only a few days ago. Although the team has experienced two consecutive losses, the players are still morale high and are eager to perform well in tomorrow's game."

The way Jeff Van Gundy talked nonsense to the camera made Henson feel extremely embarrassed. In terms of acting skills, Van Gundy is far behind him and Vogel.

Van Gundy seemed to be at ease, but he was panicked. The reason he said this is just to stabilize the morale of the players. It is estimated that even he himself couldn't believe the silly things he said.

"It seems that the other party is very well prepared. Howard's state is still unstoppable this season. This may be the same as last time. It is a hard fight." Vogel rubbed his chin seriously after seeing Van Gundy's interview video.

"Fighting hard?" Henson thought of the players' training state over the past two days, "Orlando people will not get the results they want."

Although the Magic have been in poor condition recently, this game still attracted the attention of many fans.

Magic fans are paying attention to this game because they are eager for the Magic to defeat the deadly enemy that eliminated them last season. The reason why others are paying attention to this game is much simpler. They want to watch the Pacers lose four straight.

"Last game, the Magic completely suppressed the Pacers' defense. Howard and Ryan Anderson were inside and out, they were unstoppable! Anderson has improved a lot this season, and his scoring average has gone from 10.6 last season. Points, soaring to 15.4 points. Moreover, this data is likely to continue to rise. There is no doubt that he played the role of Lewis next to Howard. There is such a space-based fourth position to open space for Howard, Howard is inside Can't stop it!"

The game hasn't started yet, and Jaylen Rose, who is expecting the Pacers to lose four straight, is already touting how "strong" the Magic are this season. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ryan Anderson's stats soared not because of how powerful he became, but simply because the Magic now has no scoring points except Howard. Therefore, Anderson's shots suddenly soared.

But Jaylen Rose's set is still very useful today. Who made the Pacers just experienced a wave of three-game losing streak? Many fans are willing to believe that the Magic can beat the Pacers again.

At this time, Henson had already mobilized before the game in the locker room, and George had returned from the previous game, so the Pacers lineup is very complete at this time. In the case of a complete lineup, he is not willing to swallow the bitter pill in Orlando.

"We have a complete lineup in this game, so there is no excuse for losing! The **** outside thought they could still have good luck, thinking that the magical three-pointer would save their lives. What you have to do is very much Simply tell them that competitive sports is cruel, and good luck cannot be surrounded by them all the time!"

Henson said, clapping the tactical board hard. The Pacers players have been suffocated in these two days, and Henson will mobilize again, which will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

Seeing the players eagerly gearing up one by one, Henson was very satisfied. The magic at this time is like a noble "goddess", and the Pacers players are boys who are beginning to love each other.

The only thing they want to do now is to rush up and do whatever they want!

"But you all remember, you must act according to the tactical arrangements of the two days! If you play in a mess after playing, what awaits you will be another humiliation!"

Henson actually said this to Paul, as long as Paul is not chaotic, the Pacers will not be chaotic. His strong field control ability is enough to control the young rookies of the Pacers.

After Henson finished speaking, Paul led the others into the court yelling, like a group of robbers rushing into the vault.

"Will they be too excited?" Vogel shook his head. This may be the most emotionally excited players have played so far this season.

"Sometimes it's not a good thing to get too excited, but sometimes, it might have miraculous effects. Let's go Frank, we should also be on the stage."

When the Pacers players stepped onto the court, the entire arena was filled with huge boos. Magic fans have not forgotten the shame of being eliminated by the Pacers 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs last season.

Five days ago, the Magic avenged the Pacers, which was done in Indianapolis. Today, all Magic fans are undoubtedly eager to witness revenge.

On the basketball court, Fraser is practicing shooting with the players himself. This shooting coach is always hands-on and very good at getting along with players. For the moment, he is the closest coach to the players besides Henson.

And Henson, Vogel, and Silas continued to discuss various tactics for Henson to command on the spot.

Before the game, everyone on the Pacers was busy performing their duties. But their dedication is considered "fear" by Jaylen Rose.

"Look at how nervous the Pacers are. Maybe the three-game losing streak just ended has made Coach Henson no longer arrogant. I really miss the appearance of Henson Joe who used to speak loudly on the sidelines before, hahahahaha."

"Although the Pacers lost to the Magic last game, the Pacers have a neat lineup this game. If the Magic want to win, I am afraid it will not be so easy." Next to Jaylen Rose, Kevin Harlan couldn't listen. Up. This guy Rose is generally an excellent narrator, but his habit of despising someone who is obviously very capable is his common problem.

In the past, when Yao Ming was still playing, Jaylen Rose often used him. People say that Barkley’s kiss on the donkey’s **** is a lesson in despising Yao Ming, but in fact, the most despised Yao Ming in the American commentary is not Sir Flying Pig, but Jaylen Rose.

"Paul George is far from being a star player, and he can't solve the Pacers' disadvantage in the paint. So even so, I think the Magic have a better chance of winning."

At this point, the game is about to start. Henson, the "king of topics", was naturally invited to the sidelines for an interview again.

Facing the camera, Henson was more serious than ever, and it seemed that the magic really put a lot of pressure on him.

"If the Pacers are going to win, what do you think the team should do?" The reporter asked a very regular question, but the fans were eager to hear some less regular answers.

"You should ask Van Gundy about this question. I have nothing to pay attention to. You can win by playing normally."

Henson's serious expression, coupled with a non-serious answer, almost made the Magic fans half angry.
