The Basketball Court Swordsman

The day after Bruce Frazier met with Henson, he officially invested in the team's daily training as a shooting coach. Henson just briefly introduced Fraser’s resume to the players. When he heard that he had trained with players like Reggie Miller and Steve Nash to shoot, the doubtful expressions on the players’ faces disappeared immediately. It's gone without a trace.

In the subsequent shooting training, although Frazier was only the first day, he seemed to get along well with Leonard and Jimmy Butler.

This guy has always been an old fritters, so he is very good at dealing with players. Get two first-year rookies, that's not a problem.

Seeing Leonard and Jimmy Butler begin to improve their shooting under Fraser's teaching, Henson was also relieved a lot. The next thing he has to do is to put all his energy on the Miami Heat!

Although last season fell into the sand, but this season's Miami Heat is still one of the favorites to win.

Unlike the struggle after the start of last season, the Heat this season has been extremely strong when it comes out. The running-in of the Big Three is almost perfect, and the Heat's weak rotation lineup has also been improved to a certain extent.

Up to this point, the Heat had a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. Among the six opponents, the Mavericks, Celtics and Eagles are three strong teams.

Coincidentally, the Pacers have maintained a record of victory so far. So this game is naturally attracting attention, and T.NT has already won the national broadcast rights of this game.

Henson still remembers how he was crushed by the Heat last season. Yes, the Pacers won the Heat last season, but the results of only 1 win in 4 games obviously did not satisfy Henson.

The kind of despair in the game against the Heat is still fresh in Henson's memory. As long as two of the Big Three play stably, the game basically won't turn around.

But this season is different, the Pacers have their own superstars, and the original team is more mature. Therefore, playing against the Miami Heat will be the real time for the Pacers to test their strength!

"Henson, the game video is ready, let's take a look!"

When Henson was thinking by the training ground, Silas walked out of the tactical conference room and greeted him.

"Come here!" Henson nodded in satisfaction. It feels good that someone can help share the work.

On the morning of January 4, all the Pacers arrived at the Miami International Airport. As soon as the Pacers players got off the plane, they were surrounded by a crowd of reporters.

The flashing lights suddenly burst, and Henson couldn't even open his eyes. Now he knows why Paul likes wearing sunglasses so much.

"There is a superstar in this team, it's different." After finally squeezing out of the airport, Henson rubbed his dizzy eyes and began to vomit.

"A superstar is like this, do you think Spoelstra is afraid of meeting reporters."

"No, no one would shoot him around the Big Three. The same is true for us. When we arrive at the American Airlines Center, no one cares about us!" Henson remembered the embarrassment of being thrown into the other half by reporters last season. , Smiled bitterly.

"It's a coincidence that for the second consecutive season, Wade was injured in the first game of the Heat." Vogel looked at the latest list of injuries, and the Heat's soul gang was on the list.

"I also hope that Wade can recover sooner, but I must admit that this is good news for our game! Whether Spoelstra starts with James Jones or rookie Norris Cole, they will not be relieved. The pressure on the second position. To be precise, the entire back line of the Heat is overshadowed by Wade’s absence. Defensive and offensive, the Heat’s back line is stretched. This is our opportunity, we must seize it. Chance to live!"

The Pacers played the Heat for the first time last season. Wade played with an injury, and he played one of the most humiliating games of his career. I believe that today, Wade will not do that anymore.

In the American Airlines Center, the Heat fans could not restrain the restlessness in their hearts before the game started.

But the group of "uninvited guests" led by Henson seems to have spoiled the carnival of Miami people.

The Pacers players just walked out of the player tunnel and began to warm up, and there were boos everywhere.

Since Chris Paul joined the Pacers, the Pacers have instantly become a major stumbling block for the Heat in the east. And Henson, maybe, except for the local fans in Indianapolis, fans in other places don't like him, and even hate him a little bit.

So being booed so badly, Henson has long been used to it.

"Remember, we have to find more opportunities at the opposing guard line. Use the pick and roll to beat their guards. Wade's absence makes the defense of the Heat's guard line very vulnerable. Chris, you need to take more shots and score more today. ."

Before the start of the game, Henson formulated today's key attack target for Wade's injury. As for whether to shoot or go to the basket after breaking through the opposing back line, it is up to the players to choose according to the situation.

After all, the situation on the basketball court is constantly changing, and the coach can only play a guiding role.

Before the game, Sager rarely interviewed Henson, but walked to LeBron James.

In fact, Sager really wanted to talk to the humorous Coach Henson, but the TV station gave him instructions to interview LeBron, so there was no way.

"LeBron, today's opponent seems very difficult to deal with. The opponent is 5 wins and 0 losses, also unbeaten. And you are missing an important member. Do you think the team can win the game without Wade?"

After James lowered his head to listen to the question, his expression did not even change, showing his general style.

"The lack of Dwyane is a blow to us, but I will try to carry the team forward. I know the Pacers are not easy to deal with, but this is the American Airlines Center and we are the masters here."

James is not like Henson who can only play haha, he made it very clear that he will take away the victory of the game.

The commentary for this game, unfortunately, is Henson's old rival, Sir Charles Flying Pig Barkley.

"Quickly stop talking about the Pacers' record of victory, Kenny, even I am embarrassed for you! The opponents the Pacers faced in five consecutive victories and the opponents faced by the Heat in six consecutive victories are not at the same level. Okay? Until now, the Pacers have never even met a playoff-level team! Their win record is completely unconvincing!" Barkley spread his hands, and if Henson looked at Definitely want to punch someone.

"No matter what level of opponent you are, the steady performance of the Pacers is obvious to all. Do you think the Pacers have lost? I think they still have the strength to fight."

"First of all, it's not that I think the Pacers are lost, but most reporters, experts and fans think that the Pacers are lost. Because anyone who understands a little bit knows that the Pacers have no chance of winning!"

Before the game started, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley took the lead in "fighting".

Henson was not in the mood to sit on the bench to watch the game today. After the jump ball started, Henson stood on the sidelines and strictly supervised every step of the game.

The Heat's offensive was very fierce. LeBron James kept his promise and carried the team without Wade, and he carried it very well.

Naturally, his personal offense needless to say. After the finals in which Nowitzki was abused as a dog last season, James' back scoring ability has greatly improved this season. A man who already has top strength is still improving, which makes Henson have to admire the Heat 6.

Unlike last season, when the Big Three took turns in singles, the others were different. This season, James deliberately increased the number of times he shared the ball. His goal is simple, to integrate everyone into the offense as much as possible.

Although James' organization is still a bit blunt, most passes are deliberate. However, in Henson's view, this change will allow James to further control the game.

The Heat played smoothly, but the Pacers did not go as well as Henson expected.

Chris Paul and George got many opportunities to break through the back line of the opposing team through screens, but the problem is that after getting the opportunity, neither Paul nor George can find the shooting feeling!

"Chris broke through Chalmers beautifully. Chalmers' defense is completely open. James Jones came up to double-team, Paul didn't watch people pass the ball, and George got an open mid-range shot... ...Oh, I still didn't make it! The Pacers have wasted too many opportunities like this today, and their feel is really terrible."

Kenny Smith sighed regretfully, while Barkley groaned beside him.

In the first quarter of the game, James 9 points in a single quarter plus 3 assists, allowing the Heat to enter the second quarter with a 6-point advantage.

As a result, after the start of the second quarter, Paul and George's shooting still did not work. In the last 2 seconds of the game, the Pacers who couldn't open the offense were also dunked by James with a steal. This kind of last-minute mistakes to send points is undoubtedly a great blow to morale!

After James dunks, the half game ended, and the Pacers entered the locker room with a 13-point disadvantage.

"What am I talking about? The Pacers still want to win? Look at the situation of the game, LeBron is completely solving the game by crushing!" Barkley is triumphant, after all, he rarely sees Henson no longer Arrogant appearance.

In the midfield interview, Sager finally found Henson. Henson frowned, unusually serious.

"13 points behind, Coach Henson, how would you adjust?"

"I may need to teach them how to shoot... Can you shoot Sager? Would you like to come to my locker room to teach players how to shoot?"

Henson smiled after asking, and then immediately returned to the locker room.

Sarger knew that the guy seemed a little angry.
