The Basketball Court Swordsman

Bird and his assistant Pritchard sat in the luxurious box of the Conseco Arena as always, and looked at Henson, who suppressed the Celtics by more than ten points in the half, and couldn’t help but smile and shook their heads.

“Since he took office, Henson has really caused us trouble. First it was a $15,000 ticket, and then it was a party to bring the players to party. To be honest, I was a little angry when I saw the news yesterday. When is it all? He actually brought the players to the party? But no matter what outrageous things he did, this guy has never forgotten to bring victory to the team!”

Bird looked at Henson, who was cheering for the players’ goals on the bench. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is the behavior of the clown. But in the eyes of Pacers fans and his general manager, Henson has become more and more popular.

“The Celtics have nothing to do with our fast offense, and after a party, the players’ bodies are very excited. This allows our fast offense to play more smoothly. I have to admit, Henson made a good move.” This time, even Pritchard, who has always been demanding, praised Henson.

“Henson is a different coach. Let us see how far he can bring the team this season. By the way, man, when was the last time we won 40 in a single season? That was 05 The -06 season, right? At that time, Granger was still a rookie and Reggie Miller had just retired for a year.”

“What do you want to say? Bird.”

“I want to say that if Henson can make the team 40 wins this season, I will definitely appreciate him. Very, very grateful…”

On the court, the red light on the backboard lights up and the buzzer sounds throughout the court. At the end of the game, the Pacers who had just been slaughtered by the Grizzlies bottomed out and rebounded, leading the Eastern giants Celtics by 13 points 58 to 45. Only Ray Allen scored in double figures for the Celtics at halftime, and Garnett, one of the Big Three, only scored 5 points with a 33.3% shooting rate.

For the Pacers, Horford only scored in double figures for the time being, but most players scored between 8 and 9 points. This indicates that after the end of the game, the Pacers will once again have a group of teams that can score in double digits.

“It seems that Coach Henson’s private party did not relax the players, but made their bodies tighten. Looking at the Pacers’ decaying offensive in the first half of the game, the old giants simply couldn’t resist this. The impact.” Kenny Smith grinned, after all, he had the upper hand in front of Barkley.

“I believe that the Celtics will definitely be able to regain the rhythm in the second half of the game. Don’t forget, they are the champion team! In terms of the ability to grasp the rhythm of the game, the Celtics are definitely better than the Pacers!” Barkley pendulum By waving his hand, this guy will not be softened before the end of the game.

In fact, Buckley’s remarks are not unreasonable. The Celtics are a mature team, and it is not fatal for them to be 13 points behind at halftime. As a championship-level team, their own adjustment ability is very good. If Henson thought that this would save victory in his hands, then he must be wishful thinking.

After the players walked back to the locker room, everyone had a smile on their faces, everyone was so upset. The fast-paced offensive wave released the passion of young players.

“Well, guys, just listen to me first.” Henson only spoke after the players rested for two minutes.

As soon as he made a sound, the locker room instantly became quiet. Henson was very respected in the hearts of the players, not to mention that after the party that made Henson the boss of the team.

“Beat the Bostonians so much, you guys are cool.”

As soon as Henson said this, the players immediately agreed.

“Of course, old men will not do it!”

“Did you not see Ray Allen’s expression? I really hope he won’t be **** off in the second half!”

“We will despair the Celtics in the second half, boss!”

Henson nodded in satisfaction, and the players were morale. “I believe that you can beat the opponent out in the second half of the game, provided that you listen to my command. In the second half of the game, we will slow down appropriately and hit the success rate.”

The players looked at each other, then looked at Henson in confusion. In the first half of the game, it was the crazy fast-paced impact of the Pacers that made it difficult for the Celtics. Why did Henson ask them to slow down in the second half?

“Don’t think that the Celtics can be defeated so easily. In the second half of the game, they must have prepared countless defensive traps for everyone, just waiting for you to dive in. They think we will continue to play fast, then we are biased. No, let their tactics disappear. When I ask you to get up soon,” Henson said, raising his fist, “That’s when we close the game!”

The players nodded one after another, and slightly suppressed the excessive passion in their hearts.

It’s easy for young players to rise up, and it’s easy to get beaten back to their original form. Instability is the biggest common problem among young people. If you continue to let everyone play fast in the second half, it will undoubtedly be messy, because the players simply can’t help it.

And the experienced green shirts are just waiting for you to mess around. But Henson knows how to help young people grasp the rhythm.

Just 80 seconds after the start of the second half, Rivers called a timeout. Do you think he wants to set up tactics? No, this timeout is purely for the disgusting walkers, trying to interrupt their fast pace.

Subsequently, the Celtics were as slow as possible on the offensive end, suppressing speed and hitting success rate. On the defensive end, the Pacers are forced to hit the middle, trying to guide the Pacers’ young people to bump into the hardest part of the Celtics defense.

Rivers thought his arrangement was seamless, after all, the Pacers players and coaches were too young. Their game style can be summed up as if it is cool, don’t stop, and run wildly. But as long as their rhythm is disrupted, they will mess themselves up.

But in reality, Rivers did not achieve his wish. The Pacers’ offense is still fast, but very patient, unlike the first half of the game, which can end the battle within ten seconds.

The Pacers players were led to the center again and again, but patiently split the ball until the Celtics’ defense was torn apart. Although this slightly slow offense is not as fierce as the first half and not as good-looking as the first half, these are not what the Pacers and Henson need.

They lead by a full 13 points, and stability is more important to the current Pacers.

The Celtics are trying to recover the 13-point difference with a battle of positions? Impossible, they need to switch offense, need to catch mistakes, need to take advantage of the Pacers’ impatience. However, these few things, under the patient attack after Henson’s variation, the Celtics couldn’t catch it!

Halfway through the third quarter, the scores of both sides rose alternately. In other words, the Celtics did not significantly reduce the gap.

In the case of delays in narrowing the points difference, the Celtics became impatient. The distinguished Celtics naturally cannot accept losing to the Pacers, such a “fish belly” team, and Doug Rivers cannot bear losing to Henson, the recognized layman. Gradually, the Celtics lost their original steady rhythm and became increasingly impatient with their offensive shots.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Henson waved his hand and told everyone: “Speed ​​up, we should stop the game!”

In the fourth quarter of the game, the physical fitness of the Green Army veterans was nearly exhausted. What about the young people of the Pacers? They are still alive and well.

Holiday and Granger led the Pacers with a wave of rapid impact, widening the point difference to 20 points, completely letting the game lose its suspense.

The slow pace of O’Neal and Garnett caused frequent damage to the Celtics’ basket. But if these two giants shrink to the basket, Horford and Granger’s long shots will not make the Celtics easy.

When the game is about to end with 3 minutes left, the Celtics, who are 23 points behind, are already powerless. Rivers replaced all the veterans, and the honorable champion coach finally raised the white flag in front of the “outsiders” he looked down on!

“Coach Henson is simply a top rhythm master! His shift in the second half of the game made Coach Rivers at a loss! Although this is a bit exaggerated, today, Coach Henson completely ate Rivers!”

Kenny Smith was full of praise for Henson, but Charles Barkley was dumb. Who could have imagined that a coach who is keen on partying would command a nearly perfect game…

After the game, the Big Three of the Green Army and Rivers had no light on their faces and left with their heads drooping. Rivers also said yesterday that the Pacers’ arrogance will cost them on the basketball court. Who would have thought that his own arrogance in the end caused the team to be abused by a full 15 points.

And Henson, who was frantically besieged by reporters 24 hours ago, suddenly became their “angel”.

“There is nothing special about this game, and I did not make any special arrangements during the intermission. The only thing I can thank is the party the day before yesterday that made the whole world sneer at! Sorry, after the party, we won at home and let us criticize. Everyone of mine is disappointed!”

The reporters turned pale, and it was really uncomfortable to be slapped in the face by Henson.
