The Basketball Court Swordsman
Chapter 218: : Times change
On May 21st, Conseco Arena.
On the court, the Indiana Pacers, wearing a white home jersey, are facing the Celtics in their fifth game of the series.
Previously, the series total score has become 3 to 1. After winning two home games, the Pacers have a tenacious record of 1 win and 1 loss in Boston.
Therefore, Henson returned to his home court with the match point.
3 to 1, this score undoubtedly made Boston players and fans feel extremely desperate. Although there have indeed been instances in the history of the NBA where they were still promoted even when they were 1-3 behind, even the Bostonians themselves do not think they have any hope of promotion.
In the first four games, with the exception of the first battle at the Conseco Arena, the Celtics hardly played a decent performance. Even the win at North Shore Garden was due to the Pacers' poor performance, not how well the Celtics played.
However, today, the Pacers had a wave of 8-0 offensive climax as soon as the game opened. It can be seen that after returning to the home court, the Pacers players are back.
The last season of the Big Three, this topic that has been spreading since the beginning of the season, has become closer and closer to reality.
There was not much suspense in the first half of the game. The Celtics seemed to have given up resistance and accepted the fact that they were doomed to fail this season. After just two quarters, the Pacers led the Celtics by 12 points.
After the start of the second half, Henson did not take it lightly. He knows that the closer to victory, the easier it is to be careless. So, when Rivers was already sitting on the bench, Henson still stood on the sidelines and stared at the players with a serious face, lest the guys get overwhelmed.
Because of this, after the third quarter, the points difference has been pulled to 18 points. The Pacers were unrelenting, they kept their victory firmly in their hands.
After only half of the fourth quarter, Rivers replaced all the main players. They surrendered, they stopped fighting. The final season of the Big Three ends early!
"It's over. The Eastern Conference semifinals came out unexpectedly... swiftly. No one could have imagined before the game that the Pacers would be able to beat the siege in just 5 games. The game was so fierce. However, that game seemed to have exhausted the last bit of the Big Three’s strength." Kenny Smith looked at the Big Three sitting on the bench with his head buried, feeling very uncomfortable. .
Kenny Smith is not a Celtics fan, but he knows it well. The Pacers eliminated more than just one team, they ended... it is likely to be an era, an era of the Big Three belonging to the Celtics.
The last season, it's time!
After another half of the game, the electronic buzzer made the Big Three suddenly wake up. They looked at the stadium and then at each other. Perhaps this is the last time they have been sitting on the same bench for the playoffs.
Ray Allen stood up and left the court for the first time, as if he had completely left the group.
107 compared to 91, 16 points difference, the Pacers won. When the electronic buzzer sounded, strips of colorful confetti fell from the air, and the Pacers fans cheered and cheered.
4 to 1, the Pacers eliminated the traditional giants Celtics. what does this mean? This means that the Pacers have gone through the haze of last season and will once again stand on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals after a lapse of 8 years!
On the court, the players embraced and celebrated under the confetti. In the stands, everyone was yelling with excitement, which has turned the Conseco Arena into a large playground.
And Henson? He was the same as he was in the last Paul Lore match, unexpectedly calm.
A year has passed, and at this time last year, Henson had already started his own sunshine holiday. And this year, they advanced and defeated the Boston Celtics who had previously had to use some tricks to defeat the Boston Celtics in 7 matches and 4 wins.
Henson sat on the bench, leaning against the back of the chair, with a silly smile on his face. In one year, he was doing this! Now, the goal is reached!
From the draft to summer reinforcements, from Paul's trade to the development of new tactics. From the intensive schedule of the regular season to desperately trying to catch up to No. 1 in the East for the playoffs.
For a whole year, Henson was doing this, just to allow the team to cross the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Now, he crossed, but he was calm unexpectedly. Henson couldn't get excited, because to make the Eastern Conference semifinals, this is his plan and goal that has been brewing for a whole year. In other words, promotion is normal. If the Pacers were eliminated, Henson would be emotionally surprised and angry.
Henson is now thinking whether he can do something outside of his plan. For example... the Eastern Conference champion, even the championship!
"You did it again, we are going to the Eastern Conference finals." Vogel walked to Henson and opened his arms. Only then did Henson react, returning to reality from his thoughts.
"Yes, we are going to the **** Eastern Finals!" Henson stood up, embracing his assistant.
The Eastern Conference finals, the Miami Heat. Those things are outside Henson's plan. If he can win even the Heat... Henson can guarantee that he will be even more excited than everyone present today!
4 to 1, advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. After the Reggie Miller era, the Indiana Pacers have undoubtedly opened a new chapter for Henson Joe.
"The result came out. It was the Indiana Pacers."
"Really? It's no surprise, they deserved such a result. Don't forget, they won 50 wins in the regular season!"
"Didn't the Bulls also get 50 wins? The result was not even the first round. The results of the regular season cannot be directly equated with the playoffs.
"The reason the Bulls did not pass the first round is because they lost Rose in the first game. Speaking of which, this is really a tragedy. That guy is so young and has potential... Forget it, we still Focus on your opponent."
"That's right, since the Pacers have advanced, then we have no reason to keep our opponents waiting. The longer it is now, the better for them. So tomorrow, we have to work harder, man."
"Of course, there will be no accidents at the American Airlines Center tomorrow!"
"Well, you said, this year we..."
"Don't worry, this year, in any case, the situation like last season will not happen again. I am ready, we are ready. No matter who the opponent is, we will all be eliminated, even the Indiana Pacers."
"Well, then, rest early, LeBron."
"The same goes for you, Dwyane. After tomorrow's game is over, we have to go to the Eastern Conference Finals!"
Far away in Miami, LeBron James and his good partner Dwyane Wade finished the call.
At this time, the Miami Heat had a 3-1 lead over the New York Knicks, who defeated the remnant Bulls and advanced.
The tragic Eastern Conference semifinals that people had expected did not appear, the Pacers easily killed the Celtics, and the Bulls "rejected" the Heat.
The Heat VS Knicks game is far from fierce. After the loss of Jeremy Lin's magical scoring point, Stoudemire's condition declined severely. The Knicks can't compete with the Heat by relying on Anthony.
The Celtics played an impressive first game anyway, and the New York Knicks seemed to have no chance of winning from the beginning.
Therefore, the highly anticipated Eastern Conference semifinals turned into individual performances by the Heat and the Pacers.
After seeing the Pacers advance, James no longer wants to waste time in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It's time to end this farce Eastern semifinals!
The tragic fighting in the east is over? No, the real fight hasn't even started yet.
