The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 58 - : Horror Record

To be honest, even Henson himself did not expect that the Pacers could hit three consecutive points! The three-pointer itself is a terrible weapon that has not yet been fully developed by the league. More often than not, coaches use the three-pointer to fight for their lives instead of using him as a regular tactic.

But just now, in the few minutes that have just passed, the Pacers used a three-pointer to destroy the Nuggets’ defense line, making them nearly 20 points behind in an instant!

Starting with Wesley Matthews and ending with Mike Dunleavy, the three-point shooters that Henson had hoarded before began to play their role.

During the timeout, Carmelo Anthony was naturally scolded by George Karl. But after being scolded for so many years, Anthony was already tired. Anthony paid no attention to letting Karl scold him there. Not only does he ignore him off the court, but when he is on the court, Anthony will still play on his own.

On Henson’s side, he didn’t encourage the players to make random shots because they felt hot. The end of random shots, Henson had already tried when he lost to the Bucks in the last game.

He warned everyone, to receive the ball in a position that is not good at, it is best to choose a breakthrough or a mid-range shot. If you catch the ball in a position you are good at, don’t hesitate to shoot three pointers!

Now the players feel hot, what Henson has to do is to guide the players to shoot correctly.

At the same time, Henson also temporarily drew several off-the-ball running tactics for Dunleavy. There is no doubt that the next offensive focus of the Pacers will be on Dunleavy, who has already shot.

Even with an 18-point advantage, he was cautious. At this point, Vogel admired Henson as a rookie. Sometimes Henson did look a little bit serious, such as thinking about molesting the trainee reporter during an interview. But at the critical moment, when it should be serious, Henson never goes wrong!

Of course Vogel didn’t know that Henson didn’t really want to tease Christine, he just used Christine’s hand to set George Karl. When the old man reacted, unfortunately, they were already 18 points behind!

After the timeout, the camera did not immediately show the court, but gave a close-up of Anthony sitting on the sidelines. At this critical moment when the team is 18 points behind, George Carr really doesn’t trust Anthony anymore.

Although Anthony is very famous, his contribution to this game is indeed negative. The offensive efficiency is low, and the performance of Anthony on the defensive end is enough to make most coaches sneer at him.

Without Anthony, George Carr only hopes that Afflalo can transform into today’s “superstar”. But after the opening, Afflalo didn’t show much performance. On the contrary, Ty Lawson played well and opened the Pacers’ defense with a scalpel-like quick breakthrough.

Ty Lawson is George Carr’s latest focus, and Crazy Carr can not bird any newcomer in the team, except Lawson. Because George Carr knows very well that his system must have a good point guard, preferably a point guard who can pass and score independently. With Billups in decline, Lawson will undoubtedly become the next master of the Nuggets in Karl’s heart.

Lawson’s breakthrough layup really made Henson a bright spot. He also used the data analysis module to look at Lawson’s potential and comprehensive evaluation. I have to admit that Lawson may be one of the few high-potential players that Henson missed in the draft.

Although Lawson has great potential, he alone wants to hinder the Pacers’ already crazy offense? Crazy Carl, I’m afraid your amazement is not heavy enough!

Lawson’s beautiful breakthrough and layup just gave Carl a little confidence, but he didn’t know that after Holiday came over, Lawson immediately returned Lawson for a layup, so that the Nuggets’ unburned signs were ruthlessly extinguished.

The absence of Billups means that Holiday will be completely liberated on the offensive end! Lawson’s current defensive ability and defensive experience are simply incomparable with Billups. Just playing a simple fake screen with Horford, Hollodi easily broke through the basket and scored easily with his hands regardless of priority.

Although the offense is crazy, the Pacers’ defense is still strong under Henson’s supervision. Lawson hit the penalty area for the second time, he wants to be Carl’s superstar tonight. However, Horford told this second-year rookie with a big risk that he should dream less. This is Indianapolis. Even if there is a superstar today, he is also a Pacers player!

Horford is not like Howard and Hibbert and others. People who don’t know him will think he is defensive. After all, Horford is not a brutal center, nor is it so violent. But in fact, Horford has a strong ability to read the game and is quite accurate in judging the timing of the block. But most of the time, Horford’s defensive philosophy is to interfere with the opponent’s missed shots, not to complete the block.

Therefore, Henson was not surprised to see Horford brave Lawson. His willingness to exchange Hibbert for such a center is not a whim.

The Pacers are now very worthy of their team name Pacers, because their counterattack is as fast as the leading car in the Indy 500!

From Horford to Holiday, the Pacers can advance quickly in all five positions. Without the traditional power center and muscular power forward dragging the rhythm, once the Pacers soared, even George Karl’s Denver “track and field team” would be ashamed.

Before the opposing team’s defensive formation has taken shape, it is Henson’s offensive philosophy to end the battle with a huge space. And Henson’s carefully arranged tactics ensured that the Pacers’ offense was fast and not chaotic.

Granger passed the ball to Holiday, and Holiday stopped at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and gave the ball to Matthews in the right corner, drawing the Nuggets’ defense to the right side of the court. At the same time Horford set up an off-the-ball screen, Dunleavy got rid of the matchup on the left side of the open to get space for fire.

Matthews basketball passed, Dunleavy received a hot potato and threw it out immediately. Then…

Boom! Hit a three-pointer, the whole process did not exceed 8 seconds! With 23 points, the Nuggets looked hopeless.

The third quarter of the game was spent in the crazy goals of the Pacers. After Henson replaced Dunleavy, Danny Green could also score three points! Henson recruited a lot of outside players who could shoot and defend, just for this kind of moment!

Both Bird and Pritchard were dumbfounded. They don’t know how many goals the Pacers scored. Anyway, the Pacers can shoot from all five positions. After Horford is off, Henson used Mike Roberts as a substitute. This white man The inside line is also a master who can shoot.

It wasn’t until Paul George knocked out a three-pointer on the right that the whole wave of crazy goals finally ended. Reggie Miller sat motionless in the commentary, the once greatest shooter was speechless.

He doesn’t have the exact data yet. He doesn’t know how many points the Pacers scored in the third quarter and how many goals they scored in a row. All he knows is that the Pacers have already scored in triple figures before the third quarter is over!

“Bird, did you ever play basketball like this in your time?” Pritchard swallowed. He wanted to reach out to wipe the sweat with a paper, but found that his hands were shaking slightly. Tough defense, fast counterattack, unlimited three split fire… This is unreasonable, it seems to go against the tradition and even seems to be very amateurish and rough play, which has created the greatest one in the history of the Consecco Arena. Festival competition!

Simple and rough does not mean bad, just like a simple and rough long pass in football. Even if so many people scold, don’t so many teams win because of it?

“Play like this? No, we have never played like this, because Auerbach is not a lunatic. Henson? Henson is a…” Byrd suddenly became speechless because he I realized that the word madman could not describe Henson well.

It wasn’t until the electronic buzzer on the scene remembered that the fans and Reggie Miller finally closed their mouths. It’s over, it’s finally over. The dazzling offensive frenzy was forced to stop because it was time for the game.

Everyone looked up at the big screen at the scene. It was 113 to… to 76! After three quarters, the Pacers led the Nuggets by 37 points! Even if the Pacers did not score a goal in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets might not get 37 points!

At this time, Reggie Miller received detailed statistics from the rear.

The Pacers made 20 consecutive shots before the third quarter and scored 54 points in a single quarter! He made 9 of 10 three-pointers in a single quarter, among which Dunleavy made all 5 shots from beyond the three-point line. The high hit rate is embarrassing!

Reggie Miller shook his head and looked at Henson Joe who was chatting and laughing with the players on the bench.

He questioned Henson and Dunleavy at first, but now it seems so stupid.

Just as the cheers at the scene gradually subsided, Henson suddenly stood in front of the technical stage, faced the stands, and waved his arms like a conductor.

Cheers burst out again, and it seemed that the dome of the Conseco Arena was about to be overturned. It seemed that the coach didn’t want to stop cheering.
