The Basketball Court Swordsman

Brook Lopez had 29 points and 11 rebounds, plus three key three-pointers in the fourth quarter and four blocked shots against Leonard. Since coming to Indianapolis, Lopez has never been so much. But the game last night undoubtedly reminded people that he used to be an All-Star center.

After spending a few days in Toronto, Henson is finally going home. After returning this time, Henson did not want to return to this northern land.

His goal is clear, to end the entire series in Indianapolis. He will tackle the Raptors in 5 games.

With this goal in mind, Henson packed up his luggage and rushed to the airport early in the morning after the game.

Due to the particularity of the series, if the players have to come back to play away, they usually leave their luggage here and the hotel they stay is responsible for. In this way, the players can pack lightly.

Therefore, when Henson arrived at the entrance of the hotel and saw that most people were empty-handed, Henson was furious.

"Kyle, where's your luggage? I remember when you came, but you brought a lot of things." Henson approached Kuzma, this guy usually takes a lot of things away from home. In this regard, Henson was impressed.

"I have stayed in the hotel, boss, if we have to come back..."

"What are you talking about!?" Before Kuzma finished speaking, Henson interrupted him roughly.

"Uh...if we have to come back, I..."

"You want to come back? You want to come back?" Henson looked at the players around him, most of whom were empty-handed like Kuzma.

Seeing Henson's tone so angry, everyone was stunned.

"I tell you, there is no next game, and we won't be back! The next game, at the Banker’s Life Arena, we will end the game! I don’t allow any more games to happen! Having won the match point, we have no reason to miss the chance to win the series!"

"Go back and bring me all your luggage. If anyone drops any luggage, don't get on the plane!"

After Henson roared, all the high-profile players returned to the hotel obediently. In front of the fans, they are national idols. But in front of Henson, they were just little boys.

Henson stood there, watching the players disperse, and couldn't help taking a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Becky Harmon came up, she also had large and small luggage in her hands. Like Henson, this female coach never thought of returning to Toronto.

"You don't have to be so angry." Becky patted Henson on the shoulder. "And you know, you shouldn't lose your temper."

"Don't worry, I am not really angry. Now facing them...I can't lose my temper at all. They have been with me through perhaps the most glorious years of my life, and they are the best of mine. Partner. Seeing those faces, I didn't feel any anger at all. Did you know? They are the most perfect team and the most perfect players in the world."

Henson smiled, completely different from the moment he lost his temper.

"Then you just..."

"I just wanted to put some pressure on those guys and let them completely cut off the idea of ​​playing Game 6. That way, believe me, in the Bankers Life Arena, everyone will do their best to fight for victory. At that time, no matter how good the Raptors were, they couldn't beat a Pacers who were not allowed to lose."

Henson said, watching a player walk out of the hotel with luggage. It was Kuzma who rushed to the front, and the young man apologized.

And Henson immediately changed his amiable expression and frowned. Becky Harmon hurriedly got into the car, she was afraid that she couldn't help but laugh and would cause Henson to wear it.

"Sorry, boss, I shouldn't..."

"Get in the car, Kyle, go to Indianapolis and win the race."

Temper tantrums should be stopped in moderation, otherwise it is likely to have a counterproductive effect, such as George Carr back then.

And Henson's mastery of tantrums can be said to be handy.

After a few years, people will definitely miss this game very much. It was May 2019, Indianapolis, and corn yellow and red flames were intertwined.

After the Warriors successfully defeated the Trail Blazers by a score of 4 to 0 and advanced to the Finals, this game in the East became much-anticipated.

3 to 1, Torontons have been driven into desperation. As long as they lose one more game, one more round, and one more goal, all the Raptors' efforts this season will fall short.

So tonight, Torontons launched a desperate resistance in Indianapolis. They know that it is difficult to reverse the game when they are 1-3 behind, but they still want to try.

They are unwilling to give up.

Among them, the most troublesome thing for Henson is not his proud protégé Leonard, not the Raptors star point guard Kyle Lowry, nor is it little Gasol who wants to take revenge on Lopez.

It was the guy who was spurned by everyone before, but now eager to save the team-"Van Jordan" Van Fleet.

Lowry dribbled the ball from the left to the inside, and the three encircled. In the gap of the crowd, "Small Steel Cannon" made a pass to send the ball to the right three-point line.

Van Fleet received the basketball, adjusted his breathing, and shot decisively.

"brush"

18 to 24, he pulled the Raptors back from the cliff for the first time in this game.

Leonard went inside, but there was no chance. After all, he was risked by Lopez four times in the last game, and he knew he could no longer underestimate the white center.

Leonard then had to separate the ball from the outside, the pass was interrupted by Antetokounmpo and fell to the floor. Van Fleet was at a loss. He picked up the basketball reflexively and looked around. There was no chance to pass the ball, so he took another three-pointer.

"brush!"

32 to 34, the Raptors are very close, Henson smashed today's first tactical board.

Van Fleet made consecutive three-pointers. It stands to reason that the Raptors' morale should rise. But because Henson was scolded a few days ago, the Pacers players have no idea to play the sixth game. Therefore, they are extremely tenacious.

Oladipo broke into the post and dunked everybody. Gasol fell helplessly, feeling the ruthless years.

Kyle Kuzma hit a three-pointer, and the handsome guy drew three fingers from the stands, which drew cheers. He did not forget what Henson said when he was at the airport.

"Go and win the game, kid."

Derek Rose hit the basket and succeeded. When he fell to the ground and quickly stood up to defend, countless fans shed tears. Before this year, who would dare to imagine that the Rose of Wind City will have the opportunity to compete for the championship trophy?

Everyone on the Pacers refused to give in, they used a devastating offensive to pull the score to 10 points in an instant.

Are you going to lose? The Pacers don't want to lose, and the Raptors don't want to lose either!

After the start of the second half, Van Fleet continued his magical performance. Leonard broke through and the inside line attracted the attention of the two. Van Vleet cut out from the left, but suddenly rounded out the three-point line. Brogdon's reaction was half a beat slow, but half a beat was enough.

Catch the ball, hand up and down, hit a three-pointer. Van Vleet scored the fourth three-pointer, only 7 points left!

After dozens of seconds, Van Fleet received the ball again. This time, Brogdon swears to the heavens that he sealed Van Fleet's fingertips.

But it's no longer useful, Van Vleet hesitated from the beginning to now extremely decisive. He shot directly and hit three points again, with 4 points left!

Henson broke the second tactical board.

Fans all over the world are a little bit unable to sit still, this is likely to be a great reversal. Moreover, it is still a good reversal for a grassroots player.

The game came to the end and was tied at 93. Both teams need someone to stand up and break the deadlock. This round can determine the direction of the series.

Leonard cut the ball and faced Antetokounmbo and Lopez's long arms, he chose to shoot backwards.

But this was just a fake shot. At the last moment, he chose to believe the guy outside the three-point line on the right.

The guy who is almost the shortest on the court, but never flinches-Fred Van Fleet.

He stood there and had already made three-pointers like training. He has no problem. He catches the ball, breathes, and shoots. The basketball crosses a beautiful arc and enters the net hollow!

Everyone raised their fingers and counted, seven. Well, this is Van Vleet's seventh three-pointer in this game! This three-pointer allowed the Raptors to take a three-point lead in the crucial last 38 seconds!

"Fuck it!" Henson raised the tactical board and was about to fall. Today he did a good job defensively against Leonard, Lowry and Gasol, and the team's offense was extremely smooth. The players were also very fierce because they were scolded a few days ago.

Without Van Fleet's seven three-pointers, he could already start thinking about how to take the Warriors.

But that **** little guard can always make magical shots. Later, even if Brogdon and Rose completed the block, he always scored.

But in the end, Henson stopped throwing the tactical board. Because at this time, this board is very useful for him. Whether you can win the game back at the last moment depends on the final tactics.

"Pause, pause!"

Henson stopped the game, and Van Fleet accepted the embrace and praise of his teammates on the court like a hero.

Henson looked at everything silently, and opened the cap of the marker.

Everything is not over yet, everything is not over yet.
