The Basketball Court Swordsman

Since Ray Allen transferred to the Pacers, his exposure in the league is actually not as good as before.

After all, in Boston, even if he has conflicts with management and teammates, he is still one of the Big Three and a pivotal figure in the Celtics.

However, after coming to Indianapolis, the protagonist of the city is Paul, George, and Henson Joe. Although Ray Allen can still play 20 minutes per game, he still has double-digit points per game. But there is no doubt that Ray Allen also encountered a dilemma that a star nearly 40 years old would encounter.

But today’s lore undoubtedly reminds everyone in the league and all fans of who Ray Allen is!

He was selected to the NBA All-Star team ten times, won a championship ring, and was selected to the best team. And, he is the player with the most three-pointers in NBA history! Behind him is precisely the Pacers' famous Reggie Miller.

So even if the stars get older, don't underestimate them. This kind of guy can stand up and kill the game at any time!

"Unexpectedly, you would make a choice like that in the end, the elevator door...you won, coach." After the game, when shaking hands with Henson, Stotts was also convinced.

Most teams face the Perseverance of the Blazers, and it is estimated that they will not be able to make it to the end. But the Pacers not only survived, but also won the game at the last minute.

Another "typical" Trail Blazers defeat, they have the opportunity to pull the strong team down, but the victory is always taken away at the last moment.

After shaking hands with Stotts, Henson found that Ray Allen had been surrounded by reporters. Gu Henson knew that this should be the most popular game after Ray Allen moved to the Pacers. The protagonist is always the protagonist.

Of course, in addition to Ray Allen, the protagonist of this game is Henson.

On the second day after the game, many coaches and experts gave positive comments on Henson's handling of the final attack.

"Coach Henson has just played against Mark Jackson and he can already win with elevator door tactics. No matter how you look at it, in my opinion, this is undoubtedly a smart move." eSPN columnist said.

"I'm also studying Henson Joe's tactics. No matter who invented the tactic or what its name, as long as it can help the coach and the team win, it is a good tactic." Spurs coach Popovich said with a smile. .

"I don't think it's stealing. Other coaches are willing to use my tactics to deploy the final attack. This is an affirmation of me. Of course, Henson has improved some things on my basis. I very much approve of him. The changes, I have to say that the Pacers won beautifully.” Even Mark Jackson, who promoted the elevator doors, praised Henson.

"This is the first time I have seen me get so many positive reviews." Looking at the phone in his hand, Henson couldn't help but laugh.

18 wins and 1 loss, also experienced a subtle lore. When you are impeccable in your grades, naturally no one will question you. No one was fighting with himself, Henson was a little uncomfortable.

Of course, the most watched team in the league is not just the Pacers. On the night when the Pacers beat the Trail Blazers, last season's Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the offending Lakers F4 at home 114-108.

Durant's 36 points and Westbrook's 33 points eclipsed the Lakers' Big Four.

After this game, the Thunder have won 7 consecutive victories, and with a record of 17 wins and 4 losses, tied with the Spurs for first place in the West!

"People always think that after Harden leaves, the strength of the Thunder will be greatly reduced. However, this is not the case. Oklahoma's youth army is still strong!"

"Durant and Westbrook have entered the ranks of the league's top stars, and the Thunder will surely succeed in revenge this season!"

"If No. 1 in the East and No. 1 in the West meet again, I think this game will definitely become very exciting!"

The Pacers' lore win, coupled with the Thunder's seven-game winning streak, became the first in the Western Conference. Together, the two things made fans look forward to the "rematch" between the Thunder and the Pacers.

Both teams have shown a devastating offensive this season, so who is the real strongest?

This topic has been enthusiastically discussed by major TV stations, and T.NT has even promoted this nationally broadcast game in advance. Because four days later, this highly anticipated "first vs. first" battle of kings will begin in Oklahoma.

With so much speculation, Henson didn't dare to sit idly by. He began to study the Thunder team's video, and in training also let the players carry out simulation exercises according to the characteristics of the Thunder team. Even before the Thunder, the Pacers had to fight the Nuggets at home. But the Pacers have advanced, putting their focus on their opponents in the finals last season.

The Denver Nuggets seem to have been forgotten by the entire league.

"People's neglect will cost them." Nuggets coach George Carr expressed dissatisfaction with this attitude of the outside world in an interview.

"Now the whole world is talking about Thunder and Pacers, as if we don't exist at all. But it doesn't matter, the result of the game will remind everyone of us."

The meaning of "Crazy Carl" is very clear, he wants to show the walkers a good look!

Henson was not nervous about Karl's provocation. When he was a rookie coach, George Carr might still cause trouble for himself. But the current Nuggets don't have the capital to challenge the Pacers.

Ever since Carmelo Anthony traveled eastward, the Nuggets have lacked a superstar who has the final word. Although the team still has a solid outlook under the leadership of George Carr, even the Nuggets fans must admit that they cannot stand up for a stable situation at a critical moment.

George Carr’s coaching style is that there is no superstar, but the “no superstar” here refers to the privilege of not having a superstar, not the ability of a superstar.

At the critical moment, the combat effectiveness of a team with a superstar and a team without a superstar is completely two concepts.

Take a look at the Nuggets’ staffing this season, Tay Lawson? This guy and Anthony are not at the same level. Iguodala? He is the current star of the Nuggets, but Iguodala has never been a scorer. JaVale McGee? Come on, Da McGee is just a good game to watch, but it is far from the title of master star.

In the absence of absolute superstars and major offensive points for the Nuggets, Henson believes that his team can contain the opposing team's offense with a defense like a bronze wall and an iron wall.

"Coach George Carr thinks I ignored his team? This is definitely the most vicious slander. If he wants to get attention, he can prove himself on the court instead of yelling around like a clown."

With George Carr's provocation reappearing, Henson finally had a mouthful for the sideline interview before the start of the game.

However, his response is naturally impossible to make George Karl happy. Carl was originally quite irritable, and he was so stunned by Henson, and even more angry.

However, what is even more irritating is that George Carr's team really didn't take advantage of the game. His core possession, Ty Lawson, was severely restricted by Paul today, and Iguodala and Gallinari were also swallowed by George and Leonard's defense.

Throughout the game, the Nuggets' starting five tigers can be said to be all misfired, but the substitutes McGee and Brewer still have some offensive power.

Sure enough, as Barkley said, if tantrums were useful, the Nuggets would have been a championship.

In the fourth quarter, when Henson re-launched Jimmy Butler, even Brewer began to fail. The game point difference was gradually widened, when the game was about to end with 5 minutes left, and the Nuggets were already 10 points behind. An angry Karl stopped the game and then pulled Iguodala.

"If you can't prevent him, let him go off the court!" Carl's roar stopped Iguodala and let him go off the court? What does it mean?

"What!? I won't do this. I'm a player, not an executioner." Iguodala frowned. As a head coach, how can I ask my players to do this?

"You coward!" Carl pushed Iguodala away, and then asked everyone to tell everyone that he was desperately strong.

"Infuriate them and make them lose their minds! I don't care what method you use, anyway, don't let those guys finish the last few minutes of the game comfortably! Listen, this is the only chance we can win!"

Nuggets players look at me, I look at you, don’t know what to do. It stands to reason that the head coach should listen, because they are all thinking about victory. But George Carr made the players more intense, as if it was not just for the victory of the game...

Iguodala shook his head. The nickname "Crazy Carl" is indeed well-deserved.
