The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 231: : Unexpected silence

Oklahoma City Thunder, a new and powerful force in the West this season. Regular season 47 wins and second in the West, second only to the Spurs. The playoffs first swept the defending champion Mavericks, and then eliminated the former defending champion Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe 4-1, reaching the Western Conference Finals with a near-perfect result.

As a new force in the league, fans are undoubtedly full of curiosity about this team. The energetic Westbrook, the youngest scorer Durant, plus this year's best sixth man James Harden. If the "three littles" with great potential meet the experienced Big Three, what spark will they create?

There is no doubt that this is what fans want to see most. San Antonio Spurs? Everyone is tired of watching. Those old guys have played in the finals too many times and won too many championships. Fans want a fresher matchup, so the league will give you the freshest matchup.

There is no need to compare the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers who are more eye-catching.

Therefore, the Thunder VS Heat and the three little players VS the Big Three are undoubtedly the league's most desired match. In order to achieve the purpose of making money and to make the game more eye-catching, the league will naturally adopt some "means" to make the results as similar as possible to the plan. Thus, in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals and Eastern Conference Finals, the Spurs and Pacers became the victims of these "methods".

The Spurs were directly eliminated as a result, and the Indiana Pacers, when the Heat lost Bosh, lost the game because of inexplicable offensive fouls in the fourth quarter.

After the Spurs were eliminated, even Duncan, who was taciturn, couldn't help complaining about the referee. Popovich, on the other hand, made a fuss.

This situation makes the league no longer able to sit back and watch. So the league also issued a statement saying that they will study the whistleblowing of that game.

Although in the end this matter will definitely be over, after all, even if it is researched out, the Thunder have already entered the finals. But being so quarreled by Duncan and Popovich will make the league no longer operate the game so unscrupulously.

As a result, everyone looked forward to seeing what other shocking operations Henson Joe would bring to everyone. This time, it was the Pacers who took care of it. Maybe Henson would greet the women of the Stern family directly!

However, to the disappointment and surprise of the reporters, Henson did not make any comments on this.

On June 7, before the start of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, many media blocked Henson in the player channel. But Henson has always been repeating one sentence: "I don't want to answer any questions about the league. The only thing I want to do now is win the game."

Indifferent, Henson only feels indifferent to the league's unfair penalties. Now, even fans are strongly dissatisfied with the league's approach to these two games, and the discussion on the Internet has never stopped.

But Henson, who has always been the party involved and has always been unabashed, is incredibly "behaved".

For this matter, Henson has to thank Popovich. The old man faced so much trash talk from the media, but he didn't want to see the league use the same method to eliminate another team.

Popovich's remarks undoubtedly aroused Henson's fighting spirit. So for the sake of the game, in order to be able to win, Henson doesn't mind the moment of swallowing!

Getting rid of the reporter and walking into the locker room, Henson saw that his players had begun to wear equipment.

Although they lost the last game, the players were not discouraged, but instead became more brave. Although the morale of the players is definitely no longer 100, Henson estimates it is 80 or 90.

"The tie-breaker, guys! Remember what the media said about us when we were behind 0-2? They said that the Pacers were vulnerable and the Heat could win the series 4-0 in Miami! The result! What? We ended up in a tiebreak! If it weren't for the inexplicable whistleblowing in the last quarter of the previous game, I might have been interviewed before the start of the finals!"

Henson said to himself, and the players raised their heads.

"Keep doing your thing, just listen to me. How the referee blows the whistle is something we can't control. The only thing we can do is to be as careful as possible on the defensive end not to be caught by the referee. The league has already made it public. Said that they would study the Spurs game. Although this statement is almost fart, the referee will certainly not be so blatant. If they don't hold the handle, they can't call us a foul! Of course, the point remains. Offensive end. We must seize the opportunity as much as possible. After the Heat lose Bosh, the inside door will open wide and use your efficient cut and breakthrough to end the game."

After that, Henson sat on the bench in front of the tactical whiteboard, "Then we can go to win the Eastern Conference championship, guys!"

?? On June 7, it rained heavily during the day in Indianapolis and gradually stopped. By 7 o'clock in the evening, the rain cloud had completely disappeared, which undoubtedly made the Indianapolis fans more enthusiastic. . ?

?? Fans wearing corn yellow short sleeves walked on the wet street and gathered from all directions. This made the whole city covered with corn yellow, which looked like a big corn field.

Fans who did not buy tickets did not want to stay at home, but all gathered in the square to watch the live broadcast of the game on the big screen.

Eastern Championship, this is the closest the Pacers to the Eastern Championship since the 99-00 season. In the 99-00 season, that was the age of Reggie Miller! It's been 12 years since now! In 12 years, enough to turn the passionate young fans into husbands and fathers.

Of course, it was enough to make Larry Bird wrinkled, and enough to make Reggie Miller change from a marksman to a commentator.

"Through the lens, we can see that the square outside the arena is crowded with fans. How long has it been in Indianapolis!? Because everyone knows that this game is not just about the Eastern Championship. Indiana Walk He is even ready to attack the championship!" Reggie Miller narrated the fanatical and grand scene outside the arena through TV footage. He couldn't help becoming red-faced, as if he was also thinking of his own past. Rong years.

The lore after pushing Jordan away, the persevering walker. At this time, it seems to reappear the alliance!

"Henson, when you got me, did you ever think that we could win the championship in the first season of our cooperation?" Before the game began, in the player channel, Paul and Henson walked side by side. At this moment, Paul asked a very sudden question.

"Want to hear the truth?"

"of course."

"I never thought that we could win this season, Chris. I have this plan, maybe three to five years to win the championship. But this year? I didn't even think of it at first."

Paul smiled, he liked Henson's frankness.

"What about now?" Paul asked again. At this time, he had reached the player tunnel, and the fans in the stands were eager to see their star player.

"Now? Of course, now, my goal is the championship! Only one game away, we can go to the finals, Chris. That's it!"

"Yes, it's this one... When I was injured two years ago, I thought about many things. I think my career may be over. I think I may not be the MVP again in my life. Candidate. But in the end, guess what resolution I made?"

Henson did not speak, he was waiting for Paul to announce the answer.

"I told myself that before I die, I must get a **** championship trophy! What a **** fate, I don't believe in destiny, I create my own destiny! Now, it's time!"

After speaking, Paul raised his arms and stepped into the court, enjoying the cheers of Indiana fans.

"Yeah, it's time." Henson muttered and followed Paul out.

After half an hour, the game officially started. Because the referee's sentence in the last game was questioned, the referee gave the players a special explanation before today's game.

?? "Are you all ready? The game is about to begin, I hope you can follow my command. I presided over the playoffs, more than you have participated in. So don't question, don't get into trouble, be clear Before the start of the game, the referee warned the players of both sides and prepared to throw the ball in the middle circle. ?

Henson, who heard the referee's call on the sidelines, smiled, don't make trouble? Then I must obey it carefully, the referee!
