The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 158: : "Lifesaver" Carlisle

Zach Lowe stood blankly on the sidelines, watching the crowds in the stands of the Conseco Arena and the Pacers players cheering, he seemed to feel that his career had come to an end.

Too fast, all these reversals came too fast. Moreover, the performance of George and Matthews did not leave Zac any affection.

"The game is over. Since Coach Henson put out a lineup of one big and four small in the middle of the first quarter, the Mavericks have been suppressed by the opponent's speed! The second half was a nightmare for the Mavericks. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers' 8-0 climax completely ruined the game. Paul George played very well today, he is undoubtedly the best player of the game!"

As soon as Van Gundy's voice fell, a highlight of George's game was played on the big screen of the Conseco Arena.

The decisive three-pointer on Marion's head, the aggressive steals on the defensive end, the fast break dunks after he shuttled through the crowd...George appeared in almost every corner of the court today. Paul happily hugged George after the game. When George killed the Hornets last season, Paul knew that this kid would not be easy in the future.

Henson kept him occupying the starting second position, not eccentric, but George really has the strength to match it!

30 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, 7 of 11 three-pointers, and 63.6% of three-pointers! Paul George's data today is definitely the data of a quasi-star!

"In points, steals and three-pointers, Paul George's three records today are all career highs! His perfect performance turned Nowitzki's return-like 30 points into an empty cut. His outstanding performance made The question before the game seemed extremely ridiculous. Why is George occupying the second position in the starting lineup? That's why!" Van Gundy wanted to see what Zach was on now, but found that he didn't see this sideline reporter on the court. .

"Of course, Wesley Matthews played very well today. 15 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds. Two of the 3 assists were given to Paul George. Whether he and George played alternately or at the same time , Can play very good results, and can also produce good chemical reactions. Today, it is precisely because of the excellent performance of the two offensive and defensive that the Mavericks get into trouble early." Van Gundy made a crazy fill, as if he had forgotten Zach. It's my colleague in eSPN... It's terrible to be alone.

"Zach, the game is over, it's time for us to go!" The eSPN cameraman gave Zach a push, and Zach was relieved from despair.

Interview? Who to interview? Interview Henson? Interview George? Interview Matthews? Then I must not be humiliated to death!

In most cases, the subjects of the sideline interviews are the players and coaches of the winning side. Only occasionally, the reporter will find the losing party for an interview.

But at this time, Carlisle with a mild personality is Zach's only choice. Today, if he wants to be less embarrassed and not to be humiliated to death by the Pacers, he must seize the life-saving straw of Carlisle and deal with today's sideline interview!

Then in the next few days, it's better not to say anything and keep quiet. After the fans gradually forget this now seemingly absurd rumor, Zach can return.

After reacting, Zach ran to Carlisle in three steps and two steps, which was a pain to the photographer behind him.

At this point, Carlisle had just finished shaking hands with Henson. Although the Mavericks lost the ball, Carlisle's attitude towards Henson was still very gentle. First, the two teams are not direct competitors, and second, Carlisle and Henson have no personal grievances. On the contrary, the two coaches also have a feeling of being heroic.

"I really enjoy playing with you, coach." Henson also expressed his greatest respect when shaking hands with Carlisle.

"Congratulations, you played a beautiful game. To be honest, I almost believed the rumors before the game. But you responded perfectly."

Carlisle also smiled and nodded to Henson, and then the champion coach prepared to return to the locker room. But at this moment, the embarrassed Zach Lowe stopped him.

Carlisle turned around, still feeling a little strange. If this reporter didn't interview Paul George, who was eye-catching today, or Henson Joe, who had a lot of talk, how come he came here.

But after seeing the reporter's face clearly, Carlisle understood everything instantly.

"Mr. Zach, long time no see." Carlisle greeted Zach with a smile.

Zach felt relieved to see this smile. At least for today's sideline interview, you don't have to be embarrassed.

"Coach Carlisle, I'm very sorry that the Mavericks lost the game today. But we saw that Dirk scored a season-high 30 points today, sweeping away the haze of his previous mediocrity. Do you have any comment on Dirk's performance?" Zach brought the topic to Nowitzki, so that this interview would be incompatible with George and Matthews!

"I'm such a clever man!" Zac was smug in his heart, avoiding embarrassment to succeed!

"Dirk's performance made me feel happy. I am very happy to see Dirk get back the feeling of the game. Everything about him, his shooting, holding and rebounding, is very active on the court and his performance is very positive. But today Paul .George’s performance is obviously better. He is a great player. We have ignored his defense several times tonight. He is an excellent three-point shooter and he always seizes the opportunity to counterattack when we make mistakes. It was his night, and their other players, such as Wesley Matthews and others, played very well. As for the rumors about them before the game, I am afraid that the accuracy rate is better than our three-pointers today. The hit rate is still low." Carlisle still kept his kind smile on his face, but the expression on Zach's face was frozen.

what's the situation? Didn’t I ask your Dirk Nowitzki? How can you bring the topic to George and Matthews!

Seeing Zac's embarrassed expression in front of the camera, fans all over the United States pointed to his face and laughed loudly. Among them, even Van Gundy sitting in the commentary booth.

In the end, Zach will inevitably become a laughing stock. I believe that the label of "the most unreliable reporter of all eSPN" will be affixed to Zach Lowe for a long time.

"If there are no other questions, I will go back first, Mr. Zac." Carlisle patted Zac on the shoulder, then turned back to the player channel.

A serious Carlisle couldn't help but laugh the moment he walked into the player's tunnel. It turned out to be so crippling, no wonder the two guys Henson and Popovich always liked it.

Carlisle is a fan of Popovich. He not only likes Popovich's coaching methods, but also his humor and calmness when facing the media.

Therefore, Carlisle often imitated Popovich in joking in interviews with reporters, but there was always a feeling of imitation. But today, Carlisle undoubtedly perfectly reproduced Popovich's calmness when facing reporters, which made the champion coach somewhat proud.

Although he lost, Carlisle found that his mood didn't seem so bad...

In the press conference after the game, Paul George undoubtedly became the most watched star. Today, even the limelight of "Queen Bee" cannot surpass this young defender who is still slightly young.

"Coach Henson, how do you comment on the remarks that questioned George before the game?" After reporters asked George numerous questions, Henson, who was distracted, finally heard someone call him.

"How to comment? I don't want to answer this question, because I don't care about the news fabricated by the tabloid reporters." Henson waved his hand, still looking like he didn't care about Zach.

"Sir, Zach Lowe was one of the top ten basketball reporters last year and an eSPN columnist. He is not a tabloid reporter."

"Oh? Really? It must be because the ranking of this list can't make up ten people, so I just found a name that no one knows to make up the number. I didn't know Zach Lowe before, and I will treat him in the future. It won't be interested either." Henson replied badly, and then leaned forward close to the microphone.

He still has something to say.

"We have the best players, and we have won one beautiful victory after another. But when I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shut up some people, I started thinking about how to solve this problem. This is today After the game, I want to understand. It’s better to stay away from guys like Zach, and other media who are preparing to **** us in a similar way. Just come. The Pacers will treat Zach like today. With the most positive response, let you down one by one!"

After Henson finished speaking, the entire media reception room became silent in an instant, and even George was stunned.

What did Coach Henson just say? What is strong! ?
