The Basketball Court Swordsman

Antetokounmpo knew very well that the boss was dissatisfied with his performance.

Although it is already one of the Pacers' top cards, Antetokounmpo still has a kind of awe of Henson.

In many teams, the head star is not afraid of his head coach at all. There are even like James who directly took over the tactical board from the head coach. There are countless examples of conflicts between the team's top card and the head coach.

But the above situation is absolutely impossible for the Pacers. No matter how strong you are Antetokounmpo or Paul George, Henson is still the leader of the Pacers.

What these superstars can do is execute Henson's orders.

So, after Henson yelled at him, Antetokounmpo became serious in an instant.

He must admit that he just underestimated the enemy. He thought that Griffin would not pose any threat to himself, but unexpectedly Griffin came today with the determination to win.

But from now on, Antetokounmpo can guarantee. That's it for Blake Griffin's performance!

Brogdon steadily controlled the basketball from the perimeter, Reggie Jackson let him go a step, and did not press close to interfere with Brogdon's dribble.

I have to say that Reggie Jackson's defense is really a joke. The reason why he doesn't press close is because he dare not. He was afraid that he would be overtaken by Brogdon, so Jackson simply gave up pressing. He was so "confident" in his defense.

At this point, the Pistons can't achieve what the Clippers did. Beverly's defense is not comparable to Reggie Jackson, and Louis Williams' offensive firepower Reggie Jackson does not possess.

This is why Henson is not optimistic about the Pistons at all. It is not enough to rely on the efforts of one player to defeat the strong with the weak.

Reggie Jackson's inaction gave Brogdon a chance to easily break through. Almost just a simple change of direction before Brogdon cleared Reggie Jackson.

Henson shook his head off the court. He really couldn't figure out why the Pistons were willing to renew Reggie Jackson with a 5-year 80 million contract. In Henson's eyes, giving Reggie Jackson 5 years and 20 million is almost the same.

His outstanding performance in the Thunder period cannot always be regarded as an iron job.

After Brogdon broke through, the Pistons' defense had to shrink. Especially Griffin, he contracted very hard. Because he knows Antetokounmpo has no long-range shooting ability, he cannot shrink too much. Moreover, Drummond was pulled outside by Lopez, and the task of protecting the frame could only fall on Griffin.

After the successful layup just now, he naturally hopes to use a volleyball cap to prove himself.

Brogdon caught a glimpse of Griffin who was coming to defend himself, and the old man would not challenge Griffin's authority stupidly. So when he broke through to a step behind the free throw line, he suddenly threw the ball high. Griffin looked at the basketball in surprise. He thought Brogdon was going to throw.

However, in the next second, Griffin felt a gust of wind passing behind him. He hurriedly turned around, but saw that Indianapolis No. 34 had already received a basketball in the air!

This is not a throw, but an air relay! Antetokounmpo did not have long-range shooting ability, but after being emptied by Griffin, he got the opportunity to make an easy inside cut.

Before Griffin had time to take off and interfere, Antetokounmpo had already completed a heavy dunk with both hands.

Aerial relay dunk is not too easy for Antetokounmpo, he only needs to make a light leap and then straighten his arms, often to get the basketball.

"Antetokounmpo responded to Griffin's goal with an empty dunk. This was a tough response. Brogdon's breakthrough was too easy. Reggie Jackson must work harder! "

The commentators all praised the offense just now, and after seeing Antetokounmpo dunk successfully, Henson also sat back on the bench in peace.

Once Antetokounmpo started serious, Griffin was over. Henson believed in this.

"Damn, we need to defend, defend!"

Griffin yelled at his teammates dissatisfied, but everyone knew it was more like Griffin was expressing dissatisfaction with Reggie Jackson.

The former Raptors coach and current Pistons coach Devin Casey also felt that the loss just now was worthless. He hopes the team can quickly get back the advantage.

Playing against the Pacers must not be delayed to the last moment, because the Pacers' tactical execution ability in key rounds is obvious to all. Therefore, Casey needs the team to gain an advantage as soon as possible.

He yelled something at Griffin, Henson didn't hear it clearly. But if the guess is correct, Casey should hope that Griffin will continue to attack Antetokounmpo.

After all, Antetokounmpo had an early foul on his back. If you foul again, you should be forced off the court.

But Henson has no defenses. Because of the incident that made Griffin attack Antetokounmpo...Don't Casey think she's crazy?

Griffin held the ball beyond the three-point line, but this time he did not attack directly, but passed a few hands. But in the end, the basketball fell into his hands.

Griffin, who received the basketball in the right bottom corner, first made a fake shot and then made a breakthrough. This is his favorite way to break through. Most forwards will involuntarily raise their center of gravity when facing Griffin's sway.

But Antetokounmpo didn't, because he didn't need to jump to interfere with the opponent's shooting. Therefore, the center of gravity has not been raised too much.

Thus, Griffin's breakthrough was blocked by Antetokounmpo!

As a forward with a height of 2.11 meters, Antetokounmpo averaged 1.3 steals per game this season. It can be known how powerful his long arms are in interfering with the opponent's dribble.

This time is no exception, just as Griffin suffered a confrontation and the dribble rhythm was messy, Antetokounmpo suddenly stretched out his long arm.

Griffin was too late to react and had to watch the basketball being stabbed by Antetokounmpo!

At the moment when the basketball was out of control, Antetokounmpo immediately took a step, grabbed the basketball, and then pushed the ball quickly!

By the time Griffin realized what had happened, Antetokounmpo had already passed halftime.

In the face of Drummond's supplementary defense, Antetokounmpo used a skillful one-handed fake change to throw away the defender, and then went inside, easily swiped his arm, and completed the dunk.

4 to 2, Antetokounmpo scored consecutive goals. And this time his defense against Griffin is simply a full-scale crush.

"Continue to attack, be careful!" Casey still persists, he still doesn't believe in his strongest player, and he can't even cause Antetokounmpo to commit a foul.

Griffin's impact has always been very strong, and the probability of fouling is also high. This can be seen from his 7.5 free throws per game. Antetokounmpo is more dependent on hitting the rim than Griffin, and the number of free throws per game is only 2 more than Griffin.

Griffin gritted his teeth after hearing Casey's roar, and he didn't want his impassioned speech before the game to turn into a joke.

As a result, this once "Heaven's Pride" intends to score on Antetokounmpo for the third time.

This time, Griffin did not stray or turn back, but like a defender from the outside to find rhythm.

The other players of the Pistons also really "gave face". Seeing Griffin dribbling from outside, they were all standing and watching! Never thought of continuing to run to open up space or seek opportunities inwardly.

So, with the qualities of the Pistons, Henson is surprised enough to reach the top eight in the East.

Griffin suddenly accelerates after a crotch dribble. Normally, Griffin is not as powerful as Griffin. And stronger than Griffin, it couldn't stand Griffin's vacillation.

But Antetokounmpo is different. Not only can he hold Griffin with strength, but he also explodes Griffin to perfection in terms of footsteps and height.

But Griffin doesn't care if he gets rid of the defense completely, his purpose is to commit a foul!

Thus, while carrying Antetokounmpo, Griffin directly attacked the frame! He believed that the only way Antetokounmpo wanted to prevent his forced layup was a foul!

I have to say that Griffin seems to look too high on himself.

"Fight back, fight back!" Just as Griffin took off, Henson signaled Brogdon to rush to the front court.

The next second, the sound of a basketball being tapped came. Blake Griffin's layup was slapped from the front by Antetokounmpo!

Griffin's short arms made Antetokounmpo cover effortlessly. Griffin thought that his shock would put pressure on Antetokounmpo, but in the eyes of the Greeks, Griffin was actually going to die.

George received the slapped basketball. He looked up and found that Brogdon had already ran to the front court at some point.

George did not hesitate, and a long pass from the backcourt threw the ball to Brogdon.

The older rookie was not polite. When he received the basketball, four of the Pistons' five defensive players were still in the Pacers' halftime. Only one Reggie Jackson ran over, but he had just crossed the midfield line.

In this way, Brogdon used a light layup to continue to widen the point difference.

And Antetokounmpo's steal and block shot also caused Griffin's originally high morale to drop suddenly.

It's so hard to make a foul on Antetokounmpo, he seems to suddenly find the gap between himself and Antetokounmpo.

"What are you doing? Fight harder and harder!"

However, Devin Casey still yelled to Griffin from the side of the court.

Henson smiled, the guy Casey, may not figure out the situation.

But it doesn't matter, when the game enters garbage time early and Griffin's data becomes horrible, Casey will understand.
