The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 67 - : Who is the winner?

“Another foul. The referee’s whistle in this game seems to have never stopped. The Pacers have committed a foul for the fifth time, and Nelson will stand on the free throw line.” Reggie Miller hasn’t said yet. After that, I discovered what seemed to happen on the sidelines.

It turned out that at the moment the referee blew Holledi a foul, Henson kicked a water bottle next to his bench. After enduring the whole game, Henson’s emotions have completely exploded. In his opinion, Hollodi just now was a beautiful defense that couldn’t be more beautiful, and that good boy blocked the possibility of the Magic playing a fast break!

However, it was such an excellent and tough defense that was inexplicably called a foul. And this kind of inexplicable foul has happened countless times in this game!

Frank Vogel glared at the staff behind him. The staff was also very innocent. How did he know that the coach asked him not to drink water, but to “kick football.”

The water bottle smashed into the arena, everyone stood there, and even the referee was stunned for a second. After so many years of whistling NBA games, Henson may be the first coach to dare to do so.

“Coach Henson, you’d better give me a reasonable explanation, and pay attention to your behavior in the next game!” The referee may know that he was at a loss, and did not immediately give Henson a technical foul, but just a verbal warning.

Henson just opened his mouth to prepare a mess, but Vogel pulled him back.

“Sorry sir, I promise that this kind of thing won’t happen again!” Frank Vogel talked nicely, Henson was still young, and he was as easy to get angry as a player. But Vogel was different. He had already taken it off for such an unbalanced whistle.

In fact, this has nothing to do with whether Henson is young or not. Doesn’t even the wise Popovich often eat T for insulting the referee? If a coach has the same desire for victory as a player, then he will inevitably bring emotions into unfair penalties.

“Let go of me, Frank. Let this idiot explain to me why the ball just now was a foul!” Henson was not obediently obedient, but yelled at the referee’s nose behind Vogel.

The referee’s face was flushed with anger. He didn’t expect a young coach to dare to despise his authority! So the referee crossed his hands very seriously, and the two arms formed a letter “T”. Technical foul!

“Oh, is this the only thing you can do? Fouls, endless fouls, this game was **** by you!” Henson was obviously not satisfied with the penalty, this time Vogel didn’t agree with Henry. Sen came soft and pressed it directly on the bench.

Although Vogel is older than Henson, he is less than 40 years old. Moreover, he used to be the captain of the basketball team in college. It is not too easy to deal with the former “nerd” of Henson.

“Okay Henson, the team can’t lose important people!” Vogel pressed Henson’s shoulder and said so, Henson calmed down.

In Vogel’s view, this team must be indispensable, not the star Granger, not the young All-Star Horford, nor is it Holledi, who has already emerged in the league, not himself, but Henson. Head coach!

“It seems that Coach Henson is very dissatisfied with the referee’s penalty. To be honest, the referee’s whistle is a bit strange today. For the Pacers, the scale seems a bit too tight.” Reggie Miller as a commentator , Naturally can’t tell the truth. In order to praise Howard and Magic, the league certainly hopes that they can sit on the top spot in the East. This kind of thing happens not only in the playoffs, but also frequently in the regular season.

It’s just that Miller can’t speak too bluntly, only a few sentences. Howard is the most popular superstar among fans, and his ability to attract gold is unmatched by the Pacers. Therefore, Howard’s team enjoys privileges, and it is not a day or two.

In the Conseco Arena, the boos of the fans almost broke the eardrums of the referee. But the referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue.

In the last 33 seconds of the game, a 2+1 by Jameer Nelson and two free throws by Old Carter allowed the Pacers to end their five-game winning streak by 4 points. The Orlando Magic, however, took the victory in Indianapolis without risk.

90 to 86, although he won the ball, the Magic coach Van Gundy was actually very dissatisfied with the team’s performance. After all, he didn’t expect that the Magic, aiming for the championship, would actually play so hard in front of the Pacers. If it weren’t for Howard’s 19 free throws today, the Magic might really be overturned.

19 free throws, 11 of them were hit. With these 19 free throws, Howard scored a beautiful 25 points and 12 rebounds. And his number of free throws alone is one more than the total number of free throws taken by the Pacers. Such an unbalanced number of free throws is enough to explain many problems.

Granger scored only 13 points in this game, his lowest personal scoring record this season. Granger was violated in the penalty area time and time again, but there was only one chance to stand on the free throw line in the whole game. This is what caused his hit rate and score to be unsatisfactory.

After the game, Henson did not yell at the players, but sat in front of the tactical whiteboard, burying his face deeply between his hands.

He calculated the reaction of Van Gundy, he didn’t let the Magic shooter shoot. He restricted Howard, if not counting the inexplicable free throws. His offensive tactics are still effective, and his players are extremely brave. The Pacers, as always, scored in double figures with five players. They played at a good level and almost pulled the Magic down!

But Henson never expected that the “accidental factor” of the referee would fall on him today.

Losing for this reason made Henson a little frustrated. He and his players worked so hard, but they didn’t get a victory they deserved.

Looking at Horford’s body, his chest was blue from Howard’s elbow. However, Howard turned out to be the guy who got 19 free throw opportunities…

But after the players came out of the shower, Henson straightened his waist immediately. In front of these young people, he must not show any weakness. If you are soft, wouldn’t these little guys get hurt more.

“Al, why are you downcast? You’ve done well enough, but that kid Howard is lucky! Look up! We are still number one in the East.” Henson patted Horford on the shoulder, then looked at morale Other players who are not high.

“Frank, the locker room will be left to you next, I have to go to the press conference.” Henson finished speaking and walked out of the locker room door.

Vogel was still happy with Henson’s maturity at first, but soon he realized that something was wrong.

“Press conference? Damn!” Vogel cursed secretly.

“Coach Henson, who do you think is the best player of the two teams in this game?” The press conference went on as normal. Many reporters gathered in the media reception room of the Conseco Arena because the game was played very well. Wonderful, the reporters also filled many questions.

“Our whole team performed well, the Magic… There is no player who makes me feel good.” Henson replied without hesitation, not giving the Magic any face.

“There is no player who makes you think that the performance is outstanding? But this game is the Magic won the victory, coach.” The reporters smiled secretly. Is Henson losing the game stupid?

Henson didn’t smile. He sat on the stage with a serious face and pointed his finger at the reporters.

“You, you, you, and you, are you all blind? The Magic won? No, it was the **** referee who won! My players played well and I am proud of them. As for the referees , They should be ashamed!”

When talking about the word “shame”, Henson patted the table hard.

The reporters were stunned. How dare he publicly criticize the referee at the press conference?

It seems that coach Henson is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
