The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 98 - : Maybe need to let go

In February, before the start of the All-Star Game, the Pacers’ record made Larry Bird and Indianapolis fans extremely happy.

Henson first led the team to defeat the brilliant Cavaliers, unable to deal with the big and four small Blazers and the Nets. Counting the victory over the Raptors on the last day of January, the Pacers ushered in a wave of four consecutive victories. So far, the Pacers have achieved 30 wins and 16 losses. After 82 games last season, the Pacers only scored 32 wins.

The changes Henson brought to the team are completely visible to the naked eye.

It’s just a pity that Henson was blocked by the Miami Heat in the five-game winning streak.

After experiencing the early struggles of the season, the Heat have gradually found a sense, and the tacit understanding of the Big Three has also begun to grow rapidly.

However, the Pacers did not lose miserably in this game. Even though James scored a terrifying 41 points, the Pacers still bit the game to the end and lost by 5 points.

James also frankly said in an interview after the game: “We shouldn’t let the Pacers cause us such a huge trouble!”

The implication is that although the Heat have won, they have not done well enough. Perhaps in James’ understanding, the Heat should be easy to play for a championship team like the Heat.

But after being defeated by the Heat, the Pacers still did not stop their triumphant advance. On February 11th and 12th, the Pacers defeated the Timberwolves and Bucks back-to-back for another two consecutive victories.

The game against the Bucks was exceptional, because the Pacers had already lost twice to the not-so-strong Bucks. All the players were holding back their energy and vented completely in Milwaukee.

Granger and Holiday scored 55 points together, while Jennings and Selmons combined only scored 19 points. The Pacers finally completed their revenge and gave the Bucks a three-game losing streak.

But at this moment, the Miami Heat appeared again. In the Conseco Arena, the Pacers once again pushed the Heat into desperation. James found that he had always underestimated the team that had beaten him. Because every time the Heat play against the Pacers this season, it is destined to be a **** battle.

In this game, Henson implemented a double-team + wheel fight defensive strategy against James, allowing James to “only” score 22 points.

But today, Wade stood up.

“The Flash” has not forgotten the humiliation he suffered in the Conseco Arena. The night of 1 of 13 shots made Wade awake for several days.

So today, Wade went crazy. He made 16 of 29 shots and scored a large double-double with 41 points and 12 rebounds. At the final critical moment of the game, the Heat relied on Wade’s consecutive singles to secure the victory.

113 to 107, the Miami Heat beat the Pacers by 6 points in Conseco, once again interrupting the Pacers’ winning streak.

Even so, the Pacers players have won the praise of the fans. They have been able to compete with the powerful Big Three every time. They are already very, very good.

“Spoelstra has three players who can score 40 points at any time. That’s why he can win. My players are good enough. It’s normal for whoever wins and loses in this kind of final game.” Later, Henson did not furious.

After experiencing James and Wade’s 40+ nights twice in a row, Henson has long lost his temper. This is the Miami Heat, they win everything by their stars!

In the last regular season before the start of the All-Star Game, the Pacers beat the Pistons 115 to 109, which is regarded as making up for two consecutive losses to the Miamians.

Despite the two defeats to the Heat, the Pacers’ 9 7 wins before the start of the All-Star Game was enough to satisfy everyone.

During the All-Star Game, Henson had no game tasks, and he was rarely free.

However, Henson does not feel regret. He wants his players to be selected as All-Stars more than he is selected.

Failing to become the coach of the Eastern Stars, Henson has more time to do his own thing.

Before the start of the All-Star Game, Henson carefully studied the video of the game with the Heat. Continuing to lose the Heat, really makes Henson a bit unwilling.

But after researching and studying, Henson found that his tactical layout loopholes were actually very few. If you want to say the real reason for the loss…Henson will definitely not say it in front of the players, it is that the Pacers lack a real superstar.

Lack of superstars, this is a common problem for the Pacers.

The strength of the two All-Stars Granger and Horford is beyond doubt, but there is still a gap between them and the real superstars.

Holiday will continue to grow in the future, but Henson estimates that Holiday is at the most all-star starting level, and it is difficult to become a superstar player.

George may be able to grow into a superstar in the future, but that is after all. George is still too immature. A newcomer in the NCAA second-level league can do this in the NBA. It has proved George’s talent and Henson can’t ask for too much.

As for Leonard, Henson doesn’t even know if Leonard will wear a corn yellow jersey in the future.

This is not the first time Henson has experienced this kind of thing. He discovered this problem when he was defeated by the personal abilities of Kobe and Westbrook.

The Pacers are good enough now, but in the NBA, it is often the superstars who dominate the game at critical moments.

Especially in the playoffs, the role of superstars will be infinitely amplified.

At this time, Henson had to consider the rumor that Vivek had told himself that Chris Paul wanted to be traded…For now, this is Henson’s only chance to quickly get a superstar.

At first, Henson was not interested in this idea. Because want to trade Paul, it means that the Pacers must also pay a great price. Henson was not willing to let go of any Pacers player.

But the cruel facts made Henson have to put aside his personal feelings to deal with this matter of reinforcement.

If you really have a chance to get Paul, Henson may have to take it…

During the All-Star Game, An Jiali and Henson went to Los Angeles together to visit the scene to experience the fun of the All-Star Game.

In those few days, Henson buried the reinforcement in his heart. Although the long-term plan is correct, for now, it is better to focus on the present.

On the day of the All-Star Game, the wives of the stars became the most beautiful scenery outside the stadium. An Jiali’s model friend Emily Vega has become Horford’s girlfriend at this time, and her delicate face makes her one of the most brilliant new faces in the wives.

“They decided to get married at the end of the year?” Henson looked at An Jiali in surprise. He really didn’t expect Horford and Emily to progress so quickly.

“Emily told me, and Al seems to have promised her. You have to thank me, Coach Henson. After all, I let one of your players put their minds on the basketball court now.” An Jiali He winked at Henson mischievously.

Henson smiled, and foreigners are really efficient at getting married.

But does this mean… An Jiali is also waiting for her proposal?

Too fast, too fast.

While chatting, Henson found that the live camera was aimed at him and An Jiali again. The appearance of the two also appeared on the big screen at the scene. Suddenly, the whole audience was upset again.

Well, the reason why Emily is one of the most brilliant people among the new faces of his wife is “one”. It is because An Jiali has become another new member of the most watched wife group.

To be precise, An Jiali does not belong to the star wives. He is the girlfriend of Coach Henson Joe. And the head coach’s girlfriend, rarely has such a high profile.

Because generally speaking, the head coaches are too old, and their wives or girlfriends have passed the golden age of peak beauty.

Moreover, coaches are generally not as famous as players, so the exposure of coach partners is much lower than that of player wives.

But the appearance of An Jiali broke this routine and amazed the media and fans. Henson Joe, who looks like a fool, how can Ho De find such a girlfriend who does not lose to the star wives?

So during the All-Star Game, as long as the ball is dead in the game, there is a high probability that the live camera will be aimed at Henson and An Jiali sitting in the audience. As long as they are aligned, the fans will follow suit.

Henson didn’t reject this kind of thing, and the appearance of An Jiali undoubtedly made Henson gilded.

“Tsk tusk, the boss is more popular than us tonight.” Granger, who was sitting on the bench, looked behind him, and shook his head helplessly at Horford.

Of course, the fans and the media still don’t know the identity of An Jiali, because Vivic has never publicly exposed his daughter.

Presumably, when An Jiali reveals her identity, the basketball world will immediately cause an uproar.

The daughter of the team’s rebounding team and the team coach, this is just a replica of “Zen Master” and Jenny Buss.

In this way, Henson and An Jiali inexplicably became famous during the All-Star Game, and Henson’s momentum and popularity even surpassed the Eastern Stars coach Doug Rivers.

Sitting in the auditorium sucked all the popularity away. It seems that the magic of Coach Henson is not limited to a small basketball court.
