The Basketball Court Swordsman

In the last 1:23 of the game, the Rockets had the ball and the Pacers led the Rockets by 13 points.

Dragic took possession of the ball after halftime, but Paul did not push him close. It's not because Paul has relaxed his vigilance again, but Henson's strategy is half-court defense. The reason why there is no full-court press is that Dragic’s passing ability is indeed quite good. Full-court press is likely to cause the defensive formation to be opened, the formation is opened, and the point guard with excellent passing ability is coming. That said, it is easier to find teammates in opportunities.

Time goes by, and if the Rockets can stabilize the point difference at 10 with 1 minute left in the game, then they still have a theoretical chance of winning. In other words, this attack is their last chance. If the offense fails this time, the Rockets can give up the game early.

Dragic stopped two steps away from the three-point line. In front of him was the "Queen Bee" Paul who had already broken 3 goals in the second half.

Dragic didn't dare to attack without authorization, he was waiting, waiting for his teammates to be seated.

However, the Pacers' oppression of players without the ball is also very large. Courtney Lee ran back, but still couldn't get rid of Paul George. Chandler Parsons was stared at by Green and couldn't catch the ball.

The Rockets' tactics couldn't come out for a while, and they were undoubtedly very anxious. Fortunately Dragic is calm enough, but other teams may have made mistakes because of anxieties.

In the end, Parsons and Courtney Lee made a cross run in an attempt to disrupt the Pacers' defense. However, this kind of trick does not stump the Pacers' perimeter.

George and Green just met with each other and switched defenses!

Unlimited defense changes, which has become a defensive label for the Pacers. The key is not how sophisticated this tactic is. The key is that the Pacers rarely get misplaced even if they change infinitely. This lineup built by Henson is not only strong, but also very average.

Parsons went to the right side of the court, and Dragic's pass was delivered immediately. Without hesitation, this has scored 14 points today. The white forward who made 2 of 3 three-pointers before took the shot!

However, Parsons was surprised that his and Courtney Lee's interspersed movement did not delay the opponent's defense. I saw George raising his arms to seal him, and Parsons' shooting action had taken shape at this time, even if he forced his shot into a pass, he might make a mistake. So Parsons gritted his teeth and went on to vote!

"Chandler Parsons, this shot will determine the fate of the Rockets! Can this first-year rookie continue his magic?"

As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, George waved his arm sharply. Like a whip, it hit the basketball that Parsons had just shot.

In the end, basketball still failed to get past Paul George's fingertips. As long as they play normally, the Pacers’ perimeter defensive chain cannot be easily broken by a team of the Rockets’ level.

"Beautiful defense, in this case, there is almost no suspense in the game!" Mike Brin's beating heart calmed down, and he seemed to be more excited than Coach Henson.

Yes, I don't know since when Coach Henson has been firmly on the Diaoyutai. Brin smiled, this season's Henson... how do you put it? It seems to have matured a lot.

This time the blocking gave the Pacers a chance to counterattack, and the lost Rockets players simply gave up the chase and watched Paul pick up the blocked basketball and score a fast break layup.

The gap became 15 points, with only 1 minute left in the game. What are you chasing after? No matter how fast you run, you can't catch it back. In the second half of the game, after 23 minutes of resistance, the Rockets finally gave up the resistance.

After Paul scored, McHale called a timeout. Everyone knows that garbage time is up.

In fact, not long after the start of the second half, the Pacers opened the difference to double digits. From start to finish, the Rockets never got close to the score. When the score difference is the smallest, there are also 10 points.

However, it is precisely because the score is not looming or continuing to be pulled apart, that's why the Rockets have an illusion of "hope to get back".

Well, Henson called it an illusion. Although the point difference was not further widened, the pace has been firmly controlled by the Pacers throughout the second half. In other words, from the beginning of the game, Henson did not think that the Rockets could still close the score.

"The first half and the second half of this game seemed to be separated. In the first half, the two sides were evenly matched. But in the second half, the Pacers seemed to wake up from their sleep. They used their steadiness to suppress the Rockets. Crazy. I really want to know what Coach Henson did in the visiting team locker room at the Toyota Center." The game itself has lost suspense, and Brin’s focus has shifted from the game to the coach.

In the first half of the game, Henson sat down as a fan in desperation. But in the second half of the game, Henson was rather stable, even standing on the sidelines without yelling, but just applauding the players and giving a thumbs up.

Henson seemed to change individuals in the first half and the Pacers also changed their status.

The Indiana Pacers are really an interesting team.

"Beep~~~~~" The electronic buzzer remembered, and McHale covered his head in annoyance. Just now the Rockets coach has received a desperate news that the Jazz won.

In other words, the loss of this game dropped the Rockets to eighth in the West, which is quite dangerous! If the Suns also win tomorrow, the Rockets will fall to ninth in the West! You see, this is why the Rockets are so desperate. Because of the loss of just one game, it is possible for them to fall two consecutively on the leaderboard!

But what's even more desperate is that even the rockets that are going crazy, there is no way to take the Pacers.

It's not that the brothers don't work hard, but the other party has "Gundam".

After the game, Henson saw the players embracing and high-fiving with joy. They have completed self-redemption, they regained the game on their own, and they don't have to be laughed at by the media and fans. They also want to win!

In this regard, Henson is undoubtedly very pleased. When you don't have to roar to spur the players to win, it shows that this group of guys are really on the right track.

In this game, Dragic scored 18 points and 7 assists, Courtney Lee 17 points, Parsons 14 points, and "Diamond" Scola also scored 13 points. Are the Rockets crazy? It still seems pretty crazy.

However, Paul's 24 points and 11 assists, George's 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocked shots, Horford and West's 15 points, made the Rockets' craziness trivial.

108 to 93, the Pacers successfully won a game in this back-to-back trip to Texas. After the game, eSPN's sideline reporter went straight through Paul and George and stopped in front of Henson.

Perhaps Henson is one of the few head coaches in NBA history who can even surpass players.

"Chris Paul is over there. He scored a double-double of 24 points and 11 assists today!" Seeing reporters walking, Henson reminded him in a very "kind" way, "Chris is the protagonist today. ."

Henson certainly hopes that reporters will interview his players. Well, this is the attention the players deserve. Of course the most important point is that Henson is too lazy to trouble. Who doesn't want to be able to rest in the locker room as soon as the game is over like Vogel?

"I know, Coach Henson. Chris Paul is the protagonist tonight, but who stipulates that we must interview the protagonist?" The reporter smiled and motioned for the photographer to turn on the phone.

"We have all seen it, Coach Henson. In the first half, the Pacers led by 2 points, but they played messy and even made many unnecessary errors. But in the second half, the situation was completely reversed. The Rockets It’s still the Rockets, but the Pacers are no longer the Pacers in the first half. Can you reveal what you said to the players during the intermission?"

The reporter raised a question that everyone who followed this game wanted to know, but everyone was also very clear that they could not get an answer. But what is even more strange is that even if they know they can't get the answer, they look forward to Henson's answer.

The way Coach Henson accumulates popularity is really weird...

"What? It's useless to say. But if you can smash 10 lockers in one go, the players will naturally be obedient." Henson said, reaching out his fist viciously towards the camera, and then turned and left. .

The reporter was stunned. If this kind of thing were put on other coaches, he would have just smiled.

But on Henson Joe, he must seriously think about whether that guy is joking. After all, it's not that Henson has never done anything like smashing a locker before...
