The Basketball Court Swordsman

Confident and stable, the game ended, the ratio was 108 to 100, and the Indiana Pacers suppressed the Bulls from the first second to the end.

And Henson also found that the young Pacers team, which was still very young last season, is now worthy of the two adjectives of confidence and stability.

They defeated the Chicago Bulls, and still broke out their full strength in the third quarter of Rose's game. With Ronnie Brewer scored 15 points off the bench, they defeated the Chicago Bulls.

There is no thrilling lore, and no suffocating key ball. Yes, it's just the team's tough and steady defense, as well as an offensive that will keep firepower forever. In this way, the Pacers stubbornly pushed Henson's biggest nightmare into the abyss of failure.

The cheers from the stands, the wanton celebrations of the players on the court, and the shouting of the commentators on the commentary stage seem to have nothing to do with Henson. The Chinese coach just sat quietly on the bench, with a faint smile, watching everything around him.

Perhaps even Henson himself did not expect that his emotions would be so calm after being won by the game he became "survival or destruction".

He did not take off his suit and run wildly around the court like last season, nor did he run onto the court and yelled with the players, making his face red.

He is no longer ecstatic, just feels happy, happy to win the game. How does it feel? Well, the feeling of confidence and stability!

This kind of inner change can be clearly felt by Henson. Since taking over this team, the Pacers have been getting stronger and stronger.

They went from a big belly to a playoff team, from entering the playoffs to the Eastern Conference semifinals. And now, when the Pacers defeated the Bulls in such a steady way, Henson realized that this team has become very strong. So strong that he doesn't need to be ecstatic about the victory of such a game. Because of victories like today, the Pacers have experienced countless times this season!

From the beginning of the game, the Pacers have been playing according to the situation on the court, rather than following the score. They have completely lost the feeling of exhaustion when they faced the Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.

Reasonable tactical deployment, smart offensive choices, brave defense, plus an offensive that can bloom more and can play a little bit stronger. These things make the Pacers comfortable even when facing Thibodeau and Ross.

This is the Indiana Pacers, the Indiana Pacers in Henson's mind.

This game undoubtedly proved that the current development direction of the characteristics of the Pacers is extremely correct.

Since he was still a scout, Henson has tried his best, even at the expense of abductions, to gather the most suitable players he could get in this corn-covered city, and worked hard to create the most suitable tactics for them. And training methods.

Today, Henson can vaguely see what the final form of this Pacers team will look like. ?

"Hey, what's the matter? The **** is uncomfortable again?" It wasn't until Vogel patted Henson on the shoulder that Henson recovered from his thoughts.

"Uh...no, thinking about things. It was a beautiful victory. We completely suppressed Rose. How many points did he score today? 15 points and only 31.3% shooting. How many points did Chris score? 36 points! Can you imagine Frank, we can actually blow the Bulls' number one position completely!" Henson still did not look at any data, and "gets" everyone's detailed data List.

When Henson showed his "skill" last season, Vogel would be taken aback. But now, he is accustomed to Henson's powerful numerical calculation ability.

If he knew that Henson didn't have to count at all, but could get the data one by one with the naked eye, he would probably be surprised again.

"It was indeed a beautiful victory. It can be said that the pre-game plans were implemented in the game. If we meet the Bulls in the playoffs this year, we don't have to be afraid."

"That's right, Frank. Chicago Bulls, won't sweep us out again!"

After speaking, Henson got up. It's time to shake hands with Thibodoo.

"You played a wonderful game, coach." Thibodeau's hand touched Henson lightly, and what surprised Henson the most was that Thibodeau had no sarcasm or viciousness in his tone. It was rather plain, as if the two did not know each other.

"You are almost lucky." Henson had prepared a lot of words to fight back at Thibodeau, but in the end they were of no use.

Although Henson's mouth is always unobstructed, one thing is easy to be overlooked: almost everything that Henson sprays or taunts is caused by the other party actively provoking him and forming a beam. For example, the media is not optimistic about the Pacers, the opponent's contempt for themselves or the commentator's unkind remarks about the Pacers.

And this thirsty coach has hardly attacked anyone. Therefore, after Thibodeau no longer gritted his teeth and called himself "half," Henson did not have anything to do to continue attacking others.

Seeing Thibodeau leaving in despair, Henson was inexplicably lost. It seems that from now on, I will lose a very interesting opponent.

The grievances between Henson and Thibodeau seemed to end here. From before the game to after the game, both sides were very calm, and there was no more war of words.

Perhaps now, even Thibodeau must admit it. The guy who went from scout to head coach is by no means a "half-slap", but really powerful.

Rather than interacting with an already strong coach, Thibodeau is more willing to focus on how to make the team go further. To put it bluntly, Henson's performance this season has already convinced Thibodeau.

At the press conference after the game, he scored 36 points and 12 assists and defended Rose to 1 of 9 shots in the first half. Paul, who only scored 15 points, became the focus of questions from reporters.

The reporters thought that Henson would make some satirical remarks about Thibodeau, and most of the media were also looking forward to watching the excitement.

However, Henson did not say a word until the end of the press conference. The reporters couldn't hold back anymore. If Henson didn't make any big news, the reporters were still a little uncomfortable.

"Coach Henson, how do you comment on Coach Thibodeau's hiring strategy today? People say that he is very dependent on the main players. Is this directly related to Rose's frequent injuries this season?"

After the reporter asked, everyone pointed their cameras at Henson. They believe that this Chinese coach's witty words and skills will make a perfect and superb ending to the game.

However, Henson just looked at the reporters with a confused expression, as if the question the reporter just asked was very marginal.

"You got it wrong? The Bulls press conference is next door. If I could know why Rose was injured, I must be a very well-known medical expert now, not a person who has been scolded by the media all day. Instead, they have to carry the image of a wicked team coach."

After Henson finished speaking, there was silence in the media reception room. Reporters all know that Henson is not mocking Thibodeau, but scolding them unabashedly!

The reporters looked at each other. How did Coach Henson feel weird today? As a result, everyone did not dare to make fun of Henson anymore, but asked a similarly concerned but serious question.

"Coach Henson, as everyone knows, Jeremy Lin, an Asian player, had a'Lin Lai' in the United States in February! He was not only elected as the best of the week, but also ranked tenth in the MVP rankings. Bit! What do you think of this player who has the same skin color as you?"

"Lin Lai mad?" Henson suddenly remembered this, but in February Henson was busy dealing with other teams, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Speaking of it, it seems that the team will have a game with the Knicks recently. And as last season, it was two consecutive games.
