The Basketball Court Swordsman

"Chris Paul, what is your goal for the playoffs?"

"We just want to keep our feet on the ground and win one by one." Paul replied when asked by reporters.

This sentence is what Henson Joe said in an interview with eSPN beauty reporter Christine. Once this interview was broadcast on eSPN's playoff preview program yesterday, it caused huge repercussions and also caused eSPN's ratings to explode.

For one thing, the fans have hardly seen what Henson was like in an interview. Secondly, everyone is very curious about what Henson will say in the interview.

Not only the fans, but even the players under Henson learned that Henson had done an interview, they went home and turned on the TV to see what their boss said.

Therefore, the phrase "down to earth to win one by one" has penetrated the bones of the Pacers players!

According to the gossip, T.NT TV station is also preparing for their own beauty reporter in order to "seduce" Coach Henson for an interview. And many media who don't like Henson have spoken out, saying that Henson is nothing more than a womanizer.

But before the playoffs, these gossips won little attention. Now, the basketball game is more than everything!

"Boss, you were so handsome on TV yesterday!"

"I think that female reporter is so fascinated by you!"

"You didn't go to Chris' house after the interview, so where did you go? Didn't date a female reporter?"

Before the start of today's game, in the locker room, the players couldn't help but joked with Henson about the interview. No wonder Henson didn't go to Paul's house during the holiday the day before yesterday to be with everyone. It turned out that it was a "private meeting" of beauty.

"Go, go, and prepare for the game! Our opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, the eighth in the East, not a beauty reporter. Don't think they are easy to deal with. No team in the playoffs is easy to deal with! Last year! At this time, the Orlando Magic despised us? The result? They were beaten 4-1 by us who thought they could compete for the championship! I don't want us to become Magic, I just hope that we can continue to move forward in the playoffs! "Henson waved his hand, not joking with the players.

When it's time to be serious, be serious. Sometimes, the attitude of the head coach facing a game directly determines the attitude of the players.

"Know the boss, keep your feet on the ground and win one by one, it's up to us!" The players stopped playing haha, and after answering in unison, they began to wear their equipment seriously.

But speaking of the afternoon before yesterday... Henson shook his head slightly.

After dinner that afternoon, Henson really invited Christine to sit at his home.

During the period, the two opened a bottle of red wine and chatted while watching the last regular season of the season.

I have to admit that Henson and Christine are quite able to talk. The two talked and laughed, and they both let go of their roles as head coach and reporter. Christine even took off her high heels and sat cross-legged on the sofa at Henson's house, which means that the girl has completely relaxed her guard.

Finally, under the dual effects of alcohol and loneliness, Henson still...

It was the same as when An Jiali came to her home for the first time.

Although the distance between the two people was close enough to feel each other's breathing, Henson and Christine were both stunned, and then separated slightly in embarrassment.

"Thank you for inviting me to sit at your house, Coach Henson. Of course, thank you for the interview."

"No thanks, Christine. The door of my house is open to you whenever you want."

It was too early, so Henson sent Christine to a taxi. Christine also touched Henson's face courteously, and then left.

This is the true story that happened that day, there is indeed nothing, but it is not nothing.

"Henson, time is almost up." Vogel stabbed Henson with an elbow before pulling him back to reality from his memories.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Frank, I'm distracted." Henson waved his hand, now is not the time to think about the mess.

Subsequently, Henson knocked **** the tactical whiteboard, attracting the attention of all the players to himself.

"I repeat, the defense must be steady and not be deceived by outside reports. In the media's mouth, the 76ers are a team that scores low and wins on defense. But the last 5 games of the regular season, The 76ers have scored more than 100 points in each game. This phenomenon is very noteworthy! This means that they have found a way to solve the offensive disadvantage! So, forget the evaluation of the 76ers from the outside world! Do your own defense , From the first second of the start of the game, the intensity will increase!"

"Yes!"

"Very well, did you hear the cheers outside? Go on the court and give them what they want!" Henson waved his hand, and the players rushed out of the locker room excitedly.

In the playoffs, the Indiana Pacers are here again!

"In the first game of the playoffs, we are all very eager to see what kind of performance the Pacers can do. You know, this is the playoffs, and it is not impossible for the 76ers to be in the Conseco Arena. Make trouble for Coach Henson. Charles, how many games do you think it takes for both sides to decide the outcome?"

Seeing the Pacers players enter the field to warm up, Kenny Smith also opened his own chatterbox.

Facing Kenny Smith's body temperature, Barkley beat out four fingers, "Four games are enough."

At this time last year, Barkley also predicted that the Pacers' four games in the series would be enough to tell the winner. But at that time, Barkley was referring to the Magic being able to sweep the Pacers 4-0. But this year, the situation has undoubtedly undergone a 180° turnaround.

"Four games, believe me, Henson is not the kind of person who likes ink. If he can solve Philadelphia in four games, he will never use the fifth game. The Pacers' strength has been demonstrated in the regular season, you think Can the 76ers compete with the Pacers? No, Henson will not allow any accidents to happen." Barkley said seriously, yes, now the first round of the playoffs can no longer put pressure on Henson Joe. ?

Although on the books, Henson's team is indeed stronger, even Barkley began to boast Henson. But Henson did not take it lightly at this time, he will not despise any opponent, let alone opponents in the playoffs.

"Take out all your strength! Don't take it lightly, this is the playoffs, the playoffs! The opponent's only wish is to tear us apart. To stop all of this, we must first tear them apart!" Until the start of the game, Heng Senya still clutched the collars of the players and shouted.

From the very beginning, Henson stood on the sidelines and stared at the players very seriously, not allowing them the slightest chance to relax.

Is the 76ers strong? To be honest, not too strong. Whether it is Iguodala or Elton Brand, they are not the league's top stars. But the NBA has never lacked examples of defeating the strong by the weak. It is precisely because the opponent is not strong that Henson is even more unacceptable to defeat.

After the game began, the Pacers' performance did not disappoint Henson. From Paul to Horford, the five played very seriously, defending for 24 seconds on the first defense, forcing Iguodala to force a shot without a chance.

In the subsequent offense, Paul used his superb command to dismember the 76ers coach Doug Collins' proud defensive system.

Collins could only shook his head helplessly. He had expected the Pacers to perform such a performance. Since he saw Henson tortured Thibodeau in the final game of the regular season, Collins has been mentally prepared.

The nickname "Torture King" is worthy of the name.

But Doug Collins is always an old world, although the 76ers were beaten badly 7 minutes after the start of the game, the Pacers led 18 to 8. But Collins was still not in a hurry, and calmly called a timeout. Only in the first quarter, the 76ers have time!

Moreover, a major feature of the 76ers is their bench players, whose strength is no less than starting.

Thaddeus Young, the power forward who can shoot and can carry, Evan Turner, the second-place player in 10 years, and the offensive guard Louis Williams who has long been known, have performed well in the 76ers. In many games this season, Doug Collins relied on his set of desperate substitutes to win back.

Therefore, Collins was in no rush. The 76ers' real firepower has not yet played a few points.

However, the experienced coach must have never heard of the Wizards coach Randy Whitman's comment on the Pacers.

"They have no difference between starting lineups and substitutes, only the distinction between A lineup and B lineup."

The group of bench bandits under Henson is not easy to provoke...
