The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 73 - : Where is my superstar?

Henson was able to be named by Bird as the head coach of the Pacers, but not only because he was smart and accurate. Also because from the beginning, Byrd saw that Henson was not a good person. To be precise, Henson is definitely not a good person to his enemies.

When Riley saw that Wade got a technical foul because of his anger, the first person he focused on was not Stephenson, but the Chinese coach who just whispered in Stephenson’s ear.

Has he led the team to play games for less than a month, can he make players so obedient?

Fast-paced offense, endless victories… Riley stroked his chin, seeming to think of himself when he was coaching the Lakers. But what Riley needs to worry about now is how to deal with reporters later.

After all, 24 hours ago, he said that the Pacers had nothing to worry about. But now, the Heat have been killed by the Pacers without leaving.

The Heat’s counter-offensive momentum was cut off when Wade received a technical foul. After the game, the morale of the Heat became more and more chaotic, and the Pacers took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent’s depression to expand the score.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, only half of the fans in the American Airlines Center were still in their seats. No one could have imagined that a team that had James, Wade and Bosh at the same time would be beaten into garbage time early.

Riley had to be vigilant at this time, perhaps the Heat’s opponents this season, not just the Bulls and Celtics.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the score was framed at 93 to 77, with the away team in front and the home team behind. Judging from the results of today’s game, the Heat’s last buzzer blow by Rudy Gay was not a shame at all!

“16 points difference! The magical Henson Joe once again led the team to a magical game! Before the game, few people thought that the Pacers could win the game, let alone anyone thought they could actually Won the Heat by 16 points!” Kevin Harlan did not conceal his surprise. Henson’s highly targeted arrangement made the Heat absolutely no fight back.

Before the game began, all reporters gathered around the Heat’s half court. After the game, the situation was completely reversed. Although there are not many reporters who are eligible to enter the venue for interviews after each game, Henson is still a little proud to see the few microphones in front of him.

Wade looked from a distance at the young coach of the Pacers and the **** Stephenson who put himself on a technical foul.

The game made 1 of 13 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 5 free throws, and only 3 points were recorded in 38 minutes…For Wade, this game is definitely the most shame of his career. One night. Due to severe injuries, Wade had to bring his injuries to play. However, the injury of his left wrist made the “Flash” completely useless today.

In fact, a few years ago, Wade also experienced a similar embarrassment. In a game against the Wizards in December 2004, Wade shot 0%. But in that game, Wade only shot 4 times. In 2006, against his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls, Wade hit the egg for the second time, but that was because Wade was injured after only one game.

Played a full 38 minutes like today, shot up to 13 times, but the shooting rate is still single-digit games, Wade has not experienced it before.

Of course, the loss of this game is not only due to Wade. The Heat’s substitute players all added up to only 4 points in the entire game, which is one of the reasons why the Heat were slaughtered. But the Indiana Pacers, Henson Joe, Lance Stephenson…these “new friends” still impressed Wade.

“This game is a shame for us, and we will meet again in the future. At that time, we will definitely let each other see what the real Miami Heat should look like.” Wade said in the tone of the press conference. Not reconciled. The Flash, who is accustomed to the ups and downs, is rarely so excited because of a regular-season defeat. It seems that Henson and his **** really annoyed the owners of Miami.

After the Battle of Miami, the Indiana Pacers became famous. 10 wins and 2 losses, during the victory over the Spurs, the Nuggets and the Heat, the two games against the Nuggets and the Heat were still a big slaughter! Their fast-paced offense with a high shooting percentage began to impress everyone.

Henson has also become the head coach with the most recent headlines, and even Popovich has not had such a big exposure recently.

Of course, Henson’s reputation in the media is still not very good. The picture of him whispering in Stephenson’s ear was captured and became the main basis for the major media to criticize him. After all, just one minute after Henson whispered in Stephenson’s ear, Wade received a technical foul because of Stephenson, which caused the Heat’s momentum to chase points to a halt.

It’s hard not to think that Stephenson was completely instructed by Henson.

“A head coach who is keen to make insidious tricks usually does not end well.”

“If it weren’t for the Heat’s repeated injuries, the Indiana could not have retired in Miami!”

“Stephenson and Henson are like a pair of demons!”

Yellow skin is not to be seen in this league, not to mention Henson’s rising speed is still so fast. But Henson doesn’t care. As long as he can win, what’s wrong with being a devil?

For the rest of November, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers, but lost to the Lakers and Thunder. Fortunately, after two consecutive defeats, the Pacers immediately defeated the Sacramento Kings and stopped the blood. 2 wins and 2 losses, the results are not too bad.

However, the two games lost to the Thunder and the Lakers still left a deep impression on Henson.

On November 26, the Pacers lost only 4 points to the Thunder. The Pacers still played a beautiful offense. Five of the team scored in double figures. As the leader, Granger set an example and scored 30 points. However, Westbrook’s 43 points, as Holiday’s senior college student, ruined this originally beautiful night.

Westbrook made only one 3-pointer in this game, but he relied on his abnormal physical fitness to hit the basket all night! This allowed Westbrook to get 18 free throw opportunities and ultimately rely on his personal ability to win in Indianapolis.

In this game, the Pacers’ total field goal percentage is clearly higher than that of the Thunder. But the Thunder stabilised the situation by relying on the outstanding performance of the stars.

Two days later in Los Angeles, Henson watched the “Viper” wearing the No. 24 jersey score 45 points alone when the Lakers were not in good shape.

In order to fight the Lakers, Henson has stayed up late these days. After all, the opponent is the defending champion, and it is definitely impossible to defeat them without a little effort.

Henson’s tactics were also very successful, he limited the West Extractor Gasol’s shooting percentage to only 33%. Let “Almighty Warrior” Odom only scored 13 points, and Artest, who liked to mess with his head, made 1 of 5 shots.

However, Henson just failed to stop the “black mamba.” Because even in the double double team of Matthews and Green, the **** No. 24 can always make the ball.

Like the last loss to Oklahoma City, the Pacers had a better team shooting percentage than the Lakers. But the Lakers relied on Kobe’s outstanding performance and abruptly won the game by 3 points.

Although Henson was able to push the two powerful Western teams into desperation, it was already very impressive, but the inability to win the final victory still made Henson a little bit disappointed.

He summed up the reasons for the loss of these two games, his tactics are no problem, and the players’ performance is no problem. The problem is that the Pacers do not have a star like Kobe and Westbrook.

Holiday and George have not really grown up, Horford and Granger are also some distance from the top stars. Henson was very helpless. He didn’t know where his superstar was.

Fortunately, at the end of November, the Pacers defeated the Sacramento Kings and stopped their two-game losing streak in time, which made Henson a little better.

After returning to his home in Indianapolis from Sacramento, Henson found a stack of materials and a video in the mailbox at his door. There is no doubt that these things must have been sent to him by Stephen Silas.

The experience of working with Silas made Henson extremely appreciative of Silas’ vision. After all, Silas has been working in basketball for decades, and he has a good judgment on people. Sometimes Henson couldn’t help wondering if Silas also had a data analysis module in his mind. Therefore, Henson asked Silas to send him some information about rookies worthy of attention.

Taking out the rookie profile sent by Silas, Henson glanced at the cover. It was written with the name of the rookie and a photo without expression.

“Kavai Leonard.” Henson curled his lips, the name was a bit confusing.
