The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 205: : The foundation of the basketball empire

The Pacers and Bulls game ended with a score of 105 to 86.

At the end of the game, O'Neill widened his eyes exaggeratedly, looking very funny. However, in fact, this was not an expression that O'Neill deliberately put on, he was really scared.

"With a gap of nearly 20 points, the entire fourth quarter was almost garbage time... Is this really a game of the Eastern Conference?" After a long time, O'Neal recovered from the shock. In other words, let the fans know that the three commentators of T.NT are not asleep.

Throughout the game, the Pacers used the Bulls' most proud defense to rub them on the wooden floor. Just look at the data to know how the Bulls spent this game.

Rose 10 points, 3 of 11 shots, 27.3% from the field. The Bulls scored the second point. Lol Dumby Rose scored one more goal, 4 of 11, 36.4% from the field. Thibodeau’s two most reliable scoring points totaled 7 of 22 shots and only scored 19 points. Today, Stephenson alone has 22 points!

That's right, it's not Paul, it's not George, it's not Horford or Matthews. Today, Stephenson played for a long time, because his offensive state is really excellent. Therefore, Henson simply let this guy play on the court for a while.

As a result, Stephenson did not live up to Henson's expectations. Not only did he defend Hamilton 2 of 10 shots, he also personally scored a season-high 22 points.

This even makes Hamilton start thinking about one thing seriously: "Has my career come to an end?"

"Of course, I have to say that the Bulls are not in good shape today. I can see that the Bulls players are a bit too tired. Even in the last game of the regular season, they will not get a chance to breathe. Therefore, today's Bulls did not perform as best as people expected. But... the Pacers' defense is really impressive. Henson Joe seems to be telling the league , Look, we are going to do that in the playoffs!" Kenny Smith saw his scalp numb, and the youngest MVP could not do anything with the Pacers' defense. Henson undoubtedly gave all the teams a good start.

"Anyway, congratulations to the Pacers. At the last minute of the regular season, they succeeded in taking the first place in the Eastern Conference! In this way, we can really look forward to whether the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers will be in the Eastern Conference. We met in the finals." Barkley rubbed his hands and saw that Sage on the court had already approached Henson to start an interview.

I can't wait to see what this Chinese coach's second playoff trip will look like.

"Sug, are you here?" Standing on the side of the court, Henson smiled and greeted Sug in a pink suit. After two seasons of getting along, the two have long known each other.

Henson is wearing a pure black suit today, although An Jiali still tirelessly buys Henson a lot of flamboyant floral suits. But Henson also seemed to realize that it's not good to be so showy every day. Therefore, this guy will only choose to wear a fancy suit when he is in a good mood.

"Coach Henson, congratulations! You won the first place in the Eastern Conference at the last minute of the regular season. Tell me about your feelings!" Sager didn't talk nonsense with Henson, and went straight to the subject.

"Wonderful, Sag, as beautiful as you like to wear a suit! We have worked hard for this for a season and now finally succeeded. Of course, this is far from our end. The playoffs are coming, my player We haven't even started to show off."

It seems that Henson is indeed very happy today, because he is actually answering questions seriously!

"Can you talk about your defensive strategy? How did you manage to win the Bulls by 19 points through defense?"

"Frank made the defensive strategy and I don't know anything about it. After all, I'm just a half-hearted. The only thing I can do is stand on the sidelines and yell like a clown, then occasionally break some lockers. "Henson smiled at the camera, asked me how I feel, and asked me about the game strategy? The old man Sager is very bad! Therefore, Henson turned on the mouth-cannon mode again, talking about it. By the way, I also satirized the media that often attacked him.

"So, do you have any plans and arrangements for the next two days of free time? After all, the playoffs are already imminent." Sager shook his head. It seems that today he still can't dig out anything useful from Henson's mouth. Something out.

In the past, an unmarginal Popovich in the west was enough, and now there is a Henson Joe in the east. But how does Sager think that this is more interesting?

"I will give the players a day off and let them rest. After all, this shrinking season is really exhausting. I don't know how many times we played back-to-back." Henson said in fact. For Thibodeau, I hope that guy can hear it.

This is no longer a physical problem for the Bulls. Henson even felt that if Thibodeau continued to play the main force like this, it might cause injury problems.

It's not that Henson sympathizes with Thibodeau, nor is it that Henson wants the Bulls to help him solve the Heat in the second half. But in the face of injuries, all head coaches are on the same line.

As for whether Thibodeau could hear it or whether he could hear it, Henson couldn't control it.

"Okay, thank you very much, Coach Henson Joe. I hope your team can still achieve outstanding results in the playoffs. This is Craig Sague, who will take you at the Conseco Arena. Coming report!"

Although in front of the camera, Henson always runs the train with his mouth full, and looks like a fool. But when the camera was turned off, Henson would shook hands with Sager very politely every time before leaving.

Henson suddenly stopped at the entrance of the player passage, hands on hips, and looked up at the restless stands.

The atmosphere of the Conseco Arena is warm. After all, the fans here have not tried the taste of No. 1 in the East for many years. Yes, when Bird found such a "scouting coach", people were discussing whether Henson would end get out of class within a few games, not whether the Pacers could get back to No. 1 in the East.

With his hips akimbo, looking at the slogan with the words "First in the East" on the big screen on the scene, watching all these things that I have built, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

The two hapless lives seem to have changed by themselves. The number one in the Eastern Conference has been reached, and then it is time for fans to cheer for the Eastern Conference championship, and even...even the championship!

In the cheers of the fans, Henson turned and walked back to the players channel. His basketball empire has begun to take shape.

"The playoffs are about to begin, guys! Forget about the **** Eastern No. 1. The No. 1 in the East is not our goal, but a necessary condition for us to go further in the playoffs! So, don't get too proud of it. Now! Tomorrow, everyone!"

As soon as Henson returned to the locker room, he immediately signaled the excited players to quiet down and gave a speech. At this time, the locker room was silent, and all the players were waiting for Henson to announce tomorrow's training time.

As everyone knows, Henson, who was so serious just now and told them not to get overboard, suddenly smiled, and his tone was gentle, "Tomorrow everyone, a day off. Enjoy the fruits of your regular season victory, guys."

"Yeah!!!" At that moment, the players cheered excitedly. I don't know, I thought the Pacers had won the championship.

He couldn't help shook his head when he looked at the noisy players. So, it's not difficult to get along with these guys. Sometimes they are as innocent as high school boys.

Hearing Henson announced a day off, the players naturally began to discuss how to spend this precious vacation before the playoffs.

Paul has summoned a lot of teammates to go to his home to make a small gambling, Horford was excited to talk with his wife on the phone, and promised to accompany her shopping tomorrow.

"Boss, will you come tomorrow?" At this time, Paul leaned in and invited Henson.

In addition to women and alcohol, gambling is also a popular entertainment activity for NBA players. Back then, "Qiao Gangzhu" was an out-and-out gambler, and he wouldn't even spare the time to gather a few studs of his teammates.

However, Henson had no interest in gambling since he was a child. Moreover, he does have his own activities tomorrow.

Tomorrow is April 26th, and the interview time scheduled with Christine last month has arrived in the blink of an eye.
