The Basketball Court Swordsman

Doug Rivers turned to look at the other half. Henson Joe was just standing there and said nothing. Did not ask the players to whisper in the past, and did not speak out in front of reporters.

He just stood on the sidelines, just like Rivers himself.

"Damn it!" Rivers shook his head, trying to get Henson out of his mind.

What's this? Why should I be nervous because of that "half-hearted"? The Celtics just hit their own, why should they care if there is any special arrangement for that "half-slut"?

Hmm... he is not half-hearted. Rivers must admit that Henson Joe is already a best coach winner.

Indianapolis, Conseco Arena, Pacers, Corn Yellow and Henson Joe, when Rivers led the team to win the championship, he could not have thought of killing them. The invincible green shirts will one day be nervous because of the Pacers.

Yes, nervous. Rivers is a little nervous, he knows Henson's skills are superb. He also knows that that guy can do whatever it takes to win.

After all, Rivers suffered more than once in this regard.

The game began, and it was not until Rivers saw Henson that he hadn't moved the starting lineup before he let out a sigh of relief.

Henson did not use Horford and Birdman to play at the same time, nor did Leonard replace Danny Green in the start. Henson hasn't changed anything, and the Pacers' starting lineup is exactly the same as before.

Rivers is relieved a lot, and then it depends on the players.

"The game will start right away. We haven't watched the Pacers for many days. After all, they are the first team to advance in the first round of this year's playoffs, so they also have more time to recuperate. Hopefully. , The Pacers can still continue the good form in the first round after many days. Because nowadays, the Celtics are very uncomfortable!"

The speaker is Mike Brin, eSPN's leading commentator. On May 12th, there will be two games in the NBA. The first round of a series between the Lakers and the Nuggets. And the other game, it was at this time, the second round of the Celtics against the Pacers! There is no doubt that eSPN believes that this game is even more important. So they delivered their master commentary to the Conseco Arena again.

"Yes, the Celtics are really not easy to mess with. The best player of the first round, Kevin Garnett. As far as I know, Coach Henson also voted for Kg. It can be seen that, Garnett's performance in the first round of the series is indeed very outstanding. You know, Coach Henson is not the kind of person who will go with the flow. He voted for Kg not because everyone else voted, but because he recognized Kg. Demonstrated strength." Next to Brin, Jeff Van Gundy immediately brought the topic to Garnett.

At this point, Garnett has stood in the center circle, ready to jump the ball with Horford.

"Coach Henson didn't make any adjustments because of Garnett playing the fifth position. How did he think about it?"

As soon as the two commentators spoke, the referee threw the basketball into the air. Positive Garnett touched the ball. Rondo averaged 15.7 points, 11 assists and 6.7 rebounds in the playoffs to organize the ball!

Henson's data analysis module accurately shows the average data of the Celtics players in the first round. With the exception of Ray Allen, almost everyone's statistics have increased compared to the regular season. And Ray Allen's performance is mediocre because he has bone spurs in his feet, almost playing with injuries.

When the Celtics attacked in the first round, Rivers clapped his hands and signaled the team to stabilize and play his offense.

Rondo didn't even look at Rivers. For him, Rivers' reminder was unnecessary. Rondo is a very smart player, as smart as Paul. The difference is that Paul likes to be smart within the framework given to him by the coach. Rondo, on the other hand, often thinks that the coach is a fool who hasn't understood the ball himself.

However, Rondo gave the ball to Garnett in accordance with the tactics for the first goal. The Big Three are still there, and this team is not yet Rondo's turn to have the final say.

"Kg, hold the ball at the beginning!" Mike Brin was excited, how would Garnett play! ?

Henson looked calm and didn't react. Garnett observed the defense, the Pacers did not double-team. So he took the courage to sit back two steps, then turned over and made a jump shot!

"Beautiful inside jumper, Kg's hot state is still there! Garnett has a natural advantage in height and wingspan, and Brandon Bass's steady mid-range also ensures that Kg will not be doubled by West. Coach Rivers perfectly moved the offensive tactics of the first round to Indian Presspolis!"

After Garnett scored the goal, the scene first gave Kg with a grim expression, and then gathered on Henson's face.

Henson still didn't say anything, not even his expression. People don't know whether he is pretending to be calm or really calm.

After Paul passed halftime, Rajon Rondo immediately came to defend. Rondo's defense was very rough and he was going to fight Paul for his life.

In fact, Rondo is so desperate not only because it is a playoff game, but also because Rondo and Paul have not been right. This is the seeds that were planted as early as 2008.

In 2008, the Celtics, sitting on the Big Three, beat the Lakers 4-3 in the finals after seven fierce battles. In other words, Rondo was the champion point guard of the year. But because of positional competition, it was Paul who was finally selected for the 12-man squad of the US men's basketball team, while Rondo lost. From this moment on, Rondo never liked "Queen Bee" in his heart.

In 2009, Rondo and Paul had a public conflict in Boston. At that time, the two people sprayed trash talk, and they were each called a technical foul.

Rondo sprayed at Paul, "I have a ring, and you will never win a championship."

After the game, at the entrance of the Green Army locker room, Paul replied, "Before spraying trash next time, take two steps with my signature sneakers..."

Since then, the two have formed Liangzi, and each time they meet, they are extremely jealous. However, because Paul was in the West and Rondo was in the East before, the two did not meet in the playoffs.

This time he met his mortal enemy in the playoffs, can Rondo not die?

"Rajan Rondo, people say he is the new leader of the Celtics, and I agree with that. Do you see how good this kid's defense is? He is dealing with Chris Paul!" Van Gundy Spread his hand, as if every time he saw a good point guard would make him drool, I don't know if it was a shadow left by coaching the Rockets.

Paul was indeed struggling a bit, but after Horford's cover, his eyes suddenly became clear.

Paul didn't hesitate, and accelerated past Garnett into the penalty area. But at the position of the free throw line, there was a sudden stop, Kg was thrown away, and the jumper shot!

"Idiot!" As soon as Paul took off, he heard a curse in his ear. Rondo's annoying voice, Paul will never hear it wrong in his life!

In the next second, Rondo blocked Paul's shot from the side, and the Pacers' offense failed!

"Block...block!?" Mike Brin yelled, Chris Paul was blocked, which may be stranger than O'Neal's three-pointer. Because for two consecutive seasons, Paul is the player with the lowest blocked rate in the league!

However, when the Pacers attacked in the first round today, Paul was blocked!

"Fuck!" Paul cursed secretly, he was a little too anxious to score on Long Duo's head!

Rondo was not in a hurry to counterattack after taking the ball, because he knew very well that the three old men could not run now. Positional warfare, resolutely fight positional warfare. In the first round, the Celtics had the last laugh by relying on the battle of positions.

Paul lifted his pants and stretched his arms in front of Rondo. But Rondo ignored it at all, and once again gave the ball to Garnett!

"Kg, the second low post, did the Pacers flanking?" Van Gundy clenched his fists.

However, there is nothing. Henson asked the players to resolutely implement man-to-man tactics, "Even if Garnett scores ten goals, he beats me man-to-man!"

This is what Henson told the players before the game started.

Without flanking, Garnett also resolutely executed singles. This time, he used a fake shooting point to fly Horford, and then a beautiful step forward to pick the basket successfully.

Garnett is in a really good state. This kind of ball should be placed in the regular season. In all likelihood, Garnett will defend against the iron. But now, he took the initiative to use more complicated steps to solve the problem. It seems that the first round of the game really gave Garnett a lot of confidence.

"It's 4 to 0, the Pacers have a bad start. Kg's height advantage is too obvious, he has played the rhythm."

At this time, the lens was given to Henson again. However, as before, Henson was expressionless. It seems that Garnett's goals and Rondo's blocks have nothing to do with him.

People only saw him bending down, pointing to the court, and then speaking to Leonard.

God knows what ideas this Chinese coach has to make today...
