The Basketball Court Swordsman

The 2012 All-Star Weekend ended with the enthusiastic support of the fans and the outstanding performances of the stars.

However, fans have a fast time of all-star weekends and forget about it. After all, this is not a confrontation of real swords and guns, but just a performance by the stars, so it is difficult to leave a classic moment. Maybe in a few days, people will not even remember the name of this year's Dunk King.

It is impossible for the Jazz's super dragon set to suddenly become the league's number one star with the capital of Dunk King. And those wonderful images of the performance nature, in addition to making the fans enjoyable for a while, will not become the capital of the stars to prove themselves.

But to say what the fans remember the most in this All-Star Game, it is undoubtedly the Indiana Pacers!

From the rookie game to the dunk contest to the All-Star game, every day of the All-Star weekend, you can see the Pacers players. Moreover, they are always in focus.

Rookie Challenge, although Irving is the rookie game MVP, but George is the most watched star of the O'Neal team.

In the slam dunk contest, although the Jazz set Jeremy Evans likes to win the dunk king, the most memorable one is Paul George who was involved in the rumors in the dressing room.

As for the All-Star Game, not to mention. The high-profile appearances of Henson and An Jiali have been impressive, and Paul and Horford have also played their standards in the All-Star Game. Therefore, after the end of the All-Star Game, many neutral fans and crowds are very curious, what level of team is the current Indiana Pacers?

The reporters naturally knew the fans' preferences, so as soon as the All-Star Game ended, reports on all aspects of the Pacers also increased. This includes even many reports from Henson and An Jiali.

"Oh my god, those reporters really took a lot of photos of you?" After returning from the All-Star Game, the Pacers got a day off. Therefore, Henson was able to spend a free day with An Jiali.

At this time Henson was holding his mobile phone and flipping through the photos of An Jiali. He doesn't even need to deliberately look for it, go directly to the picture library on the NBA official website, and he can browse countless Anjiali pictures.

"Hey, it seems that I will have to wear sunglasses when I go out!" An Jiali is very proud of this. After all, is there any woman who doesn't like people praising her for her beauty?

After the All-Star Game, An Jiali undoubtedly became a big hit with her high-profile debut. Especially after Henson said that "my floral suits were prepared by my girlfriend", the media became more curious about An Jiali.

Therefore, driven by curiosity. After the All-Star Game, many fans hope to learn about this very strange Eastern power through a real game. Coincidentally, in the first game after the All-Star Game, Henson led the Pacers to a typical victory.

On the last day of February, February 29th, at the Conseco Arena in Indianapolis, the Pacers ushered in the Golden State Warriors who had been driving high and low this season.

The Warriors' offense, as everyone knows, is basically relying on Monta Ellis to bombard. But since Stephen Curry joined the Warriors, the situation seems to have reversed.

Just one basketball does not seem to be enough to divide the two guards Curry and Ellis. The two often argued over the issue of shooting rights, and Alice made no secret of his indifference to Curry.

Now, the Warriors have to consider a very real problem: Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry, if they choose one of the two, how to choose.

Warriors fans naturally think that Curry's skinny guard will either give Alice a hand or get out. After all, Ellis has proved himself with an average of 20 points per game for three consecutive seasons. However, the fact is that the Warriors management seems to want Curry to stay.

This speculation is not groundless, because rumors about Ellis' trade have intensified after the All-Star Game. However, Warriors fans will certainly not be happy about this. When a team wants to trade their star, it is rare for fans to be very happy.

The Warriors owner even joked: "Because of Ellis' trade rumors, my fiancee is very angry and has not spoken to me for two days."

A panic-stricken team involved in trading rumors affects not only fans and owners, but also players.

Therefore, it is impossible for this brave warrior to have any strong combat effectiveness. The Pacers are precisely on the Warriors, showing the power of Indianapolis basketball to countless fans who followed them after the All-Star Game!

In this game, 6 Pacers scored in double figures! Their more blooming offense made the neutral fans stare.

I thought that this team was a three-pointer of Paul, West and Horford. As everyone knows, this amazing team can score far more people than they thought.

Although the neutral fans were very surprised by this offense, the fact that six people scored in double figures is basically a routine operation in the eyes of Indiana local fans. The Pacers have been playing like this since the Chinese coach took office last season.

Paul 20 points, Horford 16 points, George 12 points, West 11 points, Green 10 points, 13 points off the bench Matthews. And Ellis, who was caught in trade rumors, faced Paul's defense. He made only 7 of 19 shots and 14 points, which was the Warriors' highest score.

102 to 78, the powerful Pacers did not leave any suspense for this huge disparity in strength. They controlled the situation from the first minute of the game until the end of the game, demonstrating the demeanor of a strong team.

At this point, the world finally recognized it. This Pacers now is a far cry from the big belly team a few years ago! Not only are they rich in All-Stars, but these All-Stars can lead the team very well!

Although time entered March, the Pacers lost to the Hornets led by Granger and Holiday in New Orleans, ending their five-game winning streak. But even so, the Pacers' record of 27 wins and 7 losses is still dazzling.

With 27 wins, the Pacers, once led by O'Brien, won only more than 30 games in 82 games. The Pacers, who was taken over by Henson, can easily break through this embarrassing number even in the shrinking season.

At this time, countless media began to quote the words Henson once said against the Celtics: "We are very strong now, really strong."

The schedule went to March, and more than a week has passed since the end of the All-Star Game. Dunk King Jeremy Evans is still a little dragon, and the All-Star Game MVP Durant is still working towards the goal of No. 1 in the Western Conference. It's time for An Jiali, who has attracted much attention some time ago but is now calm, to return to school.

After bidding farewell to An Jiali, Henson had no time to be sad. Because he knows what his main task is now, the regular season is not over yet, and the sequence of everything must be after the game.

So after sending away An Jiali, Henson quickly went to work. He immediately returned to the team training hall to study Silas's edited video of the game, and worked out a game plan with everyone with a serious face.

If Henson suddenly becomes serious, there are only two possibilities. One, some players are going to be unlucky. Second, the next opponent of the Pacers is really very strong! There is no doubt that this time the situation belongs to the latter.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, at the end of training, Henson even gathered all the players for a pre-match mobilization, even if there is still one day before the next game.

"This is a contest of survival or destruction!" Henson's tone is so heavy, it is enough to explain the importance of the next game in his heart.

After get off work, Henson drove to the side wall of the Conseco Arena, stopped, lit a cigar, swallowed fog in the car, and seemed not in a hurry to go home.

On the side wall of the Conseco Arena, the current season schedule is printed every season. In that era of underdeveloped networks, this schedule is undoubtedly the most intuitive way for fans to understand the Pacers' schedule.

Although current fans can easily get a complete schedule with just a touch of their mobile phones, this wall is still a feature of the Conseco Arena, which has been retained to this day.

Looking at this wall, Henson remembered that on the first day he came to work in the Conseco Arena as the head coach, he stared at this wall. At that time Henson didn't know if he could stand the test of these 82 games on the wall.

However, it turns out that Henson not only passed the test, but also "does well." He led the Pacers to the playoffs and entered the second round in one fell swoop!

The second round...In the second round, the Pacers were swept out by the Chicago Bulls, allowing Henson to experience the greatest strength of his career so far.

Thinking of this, Henson started the car, ready to go home to continue studying the game.

And on this wall, there is a line of words that seem particularly eye-catching.

"On March 5th, Indiana Pacers VS Chicago Bulls."
