The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 59 - : Thanks Henson

After the start of the fourth quarter, George Karl stopped his yelling. Even Crazy Carl knows very well that if someone else scored 54 points in a single quarter, then there is no possibility of a comeback in this game.

What is the concept of 54 points in a single quarter? Reggie Miller was also afraid that the fans would not know, so he immediately became popular.

“The Pacers scored 54 points in a single quarter, ranking third in the NBA’s historical scoring record in a single quarter, and they are only 4 points short of the most scoring record in a single quarter.

The highest scoring record in a single quarter in NBA history was 58 points. It was set by the Fabro Braves, the predecessor of the Los Angeles Clippers, in the game against the Boston Celtics on October 20, 1972.

The Suns scored 57 points in a single quarter in the 1990-1991 season, and the Golden State Warriors also scored 57 points in a single quarter in the 1988-1989 season. The Pacers tied for third with the other two teams with 54 points today. Both the Celtics and the Hawks did this in the 1969-1970 season. “

In other words, the Pacers are the first team to touch this incredible record in the 21st century. After all, under the high-intensity confrontation and tight defense of modern basketball, such incredible scoring is almost killed. However, Henson’s Pacers just froze in front of everyone, in front of Crazy Carl, in front of the Western Conference Nuggets, and opened this long-closed record.

In the fourth quarter, the Pacers’ defense finally relaxed. But now that the Nuggets score, Henson feels it doesn’t matter. You can’t be a man, you still have to give the Nuggets and George Carr some face.

In the end, the Nuggets scored 37 points in the fourth quarter, but it still didn’t help. 144 to 113, the Indiana Pacers made a comeback at home after an accidental loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, killing the Nuggets from the West!

The result of this game definitely exceeded everyone’s expectations, because even if someone thinks the Pacers can win, they can’t expect them to win so many points.

144 points, which is a new high in a single game in the NBA new season. It is not the Los Angeles Lakers or the Miami Heat who set this record, but the Indiana Pacers who have not appeared in the playoffs for four consecutive years!

After the game, Henson walked to the technical stage with a smile and shook hands with George Carr. George Carl was so green with anger today by Anthony. Seeing Henson’s smug face, Old Carl really wanted to punch this Chinese in the nose!

“We’re just lucky, George.” Henson spoke first. “I said that I was playing against you before the game was just for fun… I didn’t expect it.”

“Don’t be proud, kid. I’ll pay for it in the next meeting.” George Carr’s temper did not become milder because of his age. With a harsh word, George Carr rudely throws it away. He took Henson’s hand, turned and walked away.

When Henson was about to return to the bench, he found that Christine and the photographer had stopped him. Henson was a little surprised, because this was the first time a reporter asked him as a coach to do a sideline interview after the game. Normally, they will look for players.

“Mr. Henson, what kind of tactics did you deploy during the intermission? You made the Pacers such an incredible offense!” Kristen’s eyes shone. She really deserves to be a trainee reporter, because she has some experience. All reporters know that Henson never talks publicly about his tactics.

“During the intermission, I gave the players a pair of gloves.”

After hearing Henson’s answer, Kristen still stood silly on the spot.

Henson thought that Christine could understand the joke, because the joke is boring if it is straightforward.

“That’s why they feel hot in the second half.”

After speaking, Henson showed his charming smile to the camera, and then walked away. Christine still stood there, and naively asked the photographer behind him.

“Is what he said is true?”

The press conference after the dressing was over was still lively. Today, Deng Levy, who scored 31 points and scored 31 points, undoubtedly became the focus of attention.

No one thought that this tepid white shooter would become the superstar of the Conseco Arena today. Just 13 shots and scored 31 points, Dunleavy’s efficiency need not be said.

“I must thank Coach Henson for his trust in me. During training these days, I feel very good in my hand. Coach Henson saw all this and gave me a chance, even if I didn’t have a ball in the first quarter. Throw in. Without the trust of Coach Henson, I don’t think I would have scored 31 points this season.” To the reporters’ surprise, Dunleavy didn’t talk much about himself, but gave the credit to Henson.

That said, the young Chinese coach has more control over the locker room than people think!

In the game, Holliday, who made 4 of 5 three-point shots and made a total of 85.7% of his field goals, only missed two goals and scored 29 points and 6 assists. He said the same thing as Dunleavy. He is extremely grateful to Henson, because he has not forgotten how frustrated he was when he played under O’Brien.

“When I encountered difficulties last season, Mr. Henson as an assistant coach always encouraged me. It was his encouragement that made me persevere. Fortunately, we have an excellent team and an excellent team leader. This big victory not only belongs to Dunleavy and me, but also belongs to everyone in the Pacers.”

Although Holiday is only in the second grade, he has a good deal of dealing with the media.

The performance of Holiday Holiday and Dunleavy conveyed a message to everyone: As long as you train hard, the head coach will give you a chance!

After the press conference, Henson, who did not appear at the press conference at all, became the deepest name in the minds of reporters. It seems that the Chinese who rose so fast in the Pacers does have some magic.

The day after the game, the Indiana Pacers became the favorite of the league. Major news sites put their incredible games on the front page of the front page, and the streets of Indianapolis were joyous like a holiday. News from major sports TV stations around the world are reporting the 54-point miracle in a single quarter.

Henson’s fast-paced, large space and more three-pointer tactics made people see his impressive power for the first time. Reggie Miller, who witnessed the entire game, commented in a show the next night:

“Why does Coach Henson love three-pointers? Because there is no four-point line in NBA rules!”

Indeed, Henson’s pursuit of three-pointers feels a bit weird. So far this season, the Pacers have ranked third in the league in three points per game and three points per game. You know, the Pacers do not have a player like Anthony who is unrestrained in his shots.

Obviously, Henson hopes to use three-pointers to control the game. Looking at the players he sends on the court, there is no one who can’t shoot three-pointers. Even Al Horford and McRoberts have a record of three-pointers and hits.

After a hearty victory, Henson’s style of play began to be studied under a magnifying glass by various experts. Naturally, many people still sneered at Henson’s play.

“You can’t kill a game by shooting. This has always been the truth on the basketball court. Only by controlling the inside can you truly control the outcome.”

“The Pacers’ offense is similar to D’Antoni’s Suns and George Carr’s Nuggets, but the fact is that neither the Suns nor the Nuggets have ever reached the top from start to finish.”

“To put it bluntly, it’s not the subtlety of coach Henson’s tactics, but Mike Dunleavy’s touch that killed the Nuggets.”

“During the break in the third quarter, Henson actually stood on the sidelines to encourage the fans to cheer. This guy has not figured out, he is the coach, not the mascot!”

Even if it is a hearty victory, it can’t stop everyone’s mouth. After all, when Henson first arrived, people could not accept that a guy with a yellow skin suddenly succeeded in the NBA. This is normal. Just like Yao Ming, even now, people still question him constantly.

Fortunately, Henson never cared what the media thought of him. After all, it was not the experts who gave him $11 million for three years, so Henson never birded them.

But Henson could not refuse the invitation of his boss. After all, I really got my 11 million U.S. dollars from someone.

“Several bosses of the team want to see you. After all, since you joined the team as the head coach, they have never really met with you. So you must not be late for the dinner at the Manor Saint Denis at 8 o’clock tomorrow evening. “

The text message sent by Bird was still a nonsense.
