The Basketball Court Swordsman

Zach Lowe, since he figured out the name of this guy, Henson has actually researched this malicious reporter a little bit. It turns out that this guy is still quite famous in eSPN.

In the latest year's top ten basketball reporter list, Zach Lowe was selected tenth. However, people's evaluation of him is not high, saying that most of the content of his reports are "small troubles".

Therefore, Zach desperately wanted to break out some big news this year. Obviously, for a reporter who thinks he is very famous, the tenth ranking cannot satisfy his ambitions.

And what is the most afraid of such people? The most feared is being ignored and looked down upon. He aspires to be the top three of the top ten basketball reporters, so Henson just pretended not to know who you are.

Judging from Zach's reaction just now, Henson's strategy was successful. His first counterattack against Zac was a "critical attack." Undoubtedly, Zach's flat expression made Henson feel good.

But after sitting on the bench, Henson's smile disappeared immediately. Although the external discussions these days are all the **** rumors, Henson is very clear that his biggest enemy is not the silly X reporter who wants to be famous and crazy, but the group of old and determined men in front of him, defending champion Dallas. calf!

Before defeating the Mavericks, Henson didn't think he had won a real victory.

As the defending champion, the Mavericks' performance this season is actually very average. So far, the record is 14 wins and 9 losses, and the old Mavericks players are also in poor condition. Almost no one thinks that the Mavericks can defend their title. It was a miracle that they were able to win the championship last season.

The so-called miracles are naturally impossible to happen frequently.

Although the chances of defending the title are slim, this does not mean that the Mavericks are a soft persimmon. Even if they can't reach the level of winning, they are definitely a powerful force! After all, the Mavericks still have a Dirk Nowitzki who blasted the Heat last season.

Once Nowitzki gets back to form, he will still be one of the best power forwards in the league. So these days, Henson didn't care about the rumors at all, just to make the players focus on this difficult opponent.

After the warm-up, the referee signaled both sides to start the game. At this time, the narrators immediately became agitated.

"After two days of rumors, let's see what kind of starting lineup Coach Henson will make! Will he be pressured to return Matthews to the starting lineup?"

However, Henson did not change his arrangement at all. Paul George still occupies the starting second position, and Wesley Matthews, who scored 22 points in the previous game, is still sitting honestly on the bench.

The camera gave George and Matthews face close-ups, but from their calm expressions, you won't get any valuable information at all.

What George is not worthy of starting, what Matthews is dissatisfied with the team arrangements... all **** fart! The Indiana Pacers, in the end, only listen to Henson Joe.

The game started very quickly, and the Pacers had a rare chance to win the ball first. Paul walked through halftime in a leisurely manner. Since Kidd has not yet returned from injury, the Mavericks coach Carlisle can only continue to start with French teenager Rodriguez Boubois today.

Bobois played a period of highlight in March last season. From March 4, when he scored 17 points against the Timberwolves, to March 28, he scored 40 points against the Warriors. Bobois turned out to make Dallas people think. They found their own French sports car.

However, it turns out that the outbreak of Bubois was only a short-lived. In the nearly one year since then, Bubois has hardly played any impressive performance. So against this French teenager, who is just a flash in the pan, Paul naturally has no pressure.

I saw Paul holding Bobois with one hand and dribbling the ball steadily with one hand, just like dealing with a child.

At this point, Paul George has ran beyond the three-point line following Henson's tactical route. Although Henson increased the proportion of George's dribbling training at the beginning of the season, in the official game, George is still an offensive player.

Immature weapons, Henson would basically not use them. Such as George's offense with the ball, such as Leonard's shooting. But once it was taken out, it proved that this weapon was enough to kill people.

Seeing George in place, Paul delivered the ball to the young No. 24 in a timely manner. Faced with Carter, whose legs are no longer sharp, George picked up the ball and shot!

"A very simple three-pointer, the Pacers' tactical execution ability is really terrible!" Van Gundy, who came to the scene today to explain, nodded approvingly. It is really different with a good point guard. If the Rockets had been able to have a point guard above the standard...Forget it, the previous things would not be tangled.

The basketball dashed across the sky, and then exploded a "white wave". This three-pointer was very crisp, from the shot to the net.

Although George didn't care about those rumors on the surface, he still kept in mind some of the criticisms that he "standing in the pit and not shit" and "wasting the first opportunity".

Naturally, there is no contradiction between him and Matthews. The only thing George wants to do is to let the group of people see if he is qualified to start!

Seeing George score a goal, Carlisle shook his head helplessly. His forward line is really too old and too short, and there is no way to deal with players like George who are quick, high and able to shoot. But if there is only one George, if Henson brings the other guys together...

On the other hand, Nowitzki is also working hard to win the game. Carlisle knows very well that it is easy for the Pacers to kill himself. As long as the pace is increased, the Mavericks will find it difficult to keep up.

So in order to prevent Henson from reducing the lineup and speeding up the rhythm, the only way for the Mavericks is to use Nowitzki to create a threat, so that Henson has to enlarge the presence of players.

Dirk was entrusted with a heavy responsibility today, but his ability is enough to carry the burden on his shoulders. On the first goal of the opening game, Dirk performed the independent retreat of the Golden Rooster on West's head. West couldn't keep up with Dirk's high shooting point, and could only watch the German easily throw the ball.

Nowitzki is perhaps the most overlooked league superstar. Although this guy is not strong enough, he is definitely deadly.

Since then, Dirk made three consecutive shots and swept away the previous haze, as if he had become the omnipotent German tank last summer.

And the Mavericks got into the post time and time again to get points, making the pace of the game extremely slow, and Paul couldn't take it with him. The Pacers can only grind the position with the Mavericks, but fortunately, George feels outstanding today, so the Mavericks did not pull the score apart.

"Pause, pause!" Seeing that the situation began to slowly approach the Mavericks, Henson took the lead and called the game to stop. Although the Pacers are only 2 points behind, the team is really uncomfortable and Henson can't wait for a moment.

"The Pacers did not play their characteristics at all, but fell into the rhythm of the Mavericks. This is obviously what Coach Carlisle wants to see. I don't know if the Pacers can break the shackles after this timeout." Van Gundy as a former professional coach , Naturally it is easy to see the problem.

You can't beat the Mavericks with them. The old monsters in Dallas belong to the type that can be beaten the more you beat them. You and the Mavericks can beat Dirk?

The pace must be fast, and the Mavericks must be breathless from the start. Once the rhythm rises, even the German tank can't stabilize it!

As a result, Henson began to make drastic substitutions. He replaced Green with Matthews, and then replaced West with Leonard. A strange substitution of one big and four small players, the Pacers have to play a small lineup!

"Uh... Coach Henson’s substitutions are always unpredictable." Van Gundy scratched his head. He didn’t know that when Nowitzki was playing smoothly, Henson wanted How to use a small lineup to contain Dirk scoring.

But Carlisle was shocked after seeing Henson's substitution. Looking at the tall and young outside team of the Pacers, what he fears most is coming!

In the highly anticipated situation, George and Matthews touched their fists lightly and walked onto the court at the same time.

It's time to end the rumors!
