The Basketball Court Swordsman

Spoelstra felt his palms sweat slightly.

Is the air conditioner at the American Airlines Center broken? No, obviously not. Because with only 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Miami Heat are still 11 points behind the Pacers.

Yes, from falling behind in the first quarter until now, the Heat have not been able to get rid of the Pacers' control. The powerful Pacers firmly suppressed the situation, leaving the Big Three exhausted.

Spoelstra wiped her sweaty palms with a towel and took a deep breath. It's different. Compared with the previous two games, this Pacers team has become different.

As a coach with experience in the Finals, Spoelstra is very clear about how crucial things like confidence are in the playoffs where every game is important.

In the first two victories in Conseco, Spoelstra believes that the team not only won the game, but also gained confidence.

Think about it, when your team returns to the home court, just win the next game is basically equal to promotion, how high the confidence of the team and how low the confidence of the other party.

But today? The Pacers are full of confidence! Henson Joe is full of himself! This guy even has the confidence to let Danny Green, who has played solidly throughout the season, as a fake starter, giving Leonard 100% trust!

What magic power does Henson Joe have? How did he manage to resurrect the team even in desperate situations? How did he achieve that whoever is sent on the court can have an immediate effect?

Thinking of this, Spoelstra's palms started to sweat again. Only then did he realize that the reason why his palms were sweating was not because the Heat were still behind at the last moment, but because Henson Joe, the Chinese coach who was always able to turn decadence into a miraculous Chinese coach, made Spoelstra feel immense. tension!

With 1:30 remaining in the game, Paul assisted Leonard to hit a three-pointer and scored the 18th point of the game. 18 points, this is the beginning of his career to the present, Leonard scored a new high in the playoffs. Before the game started, who would have thought that this guy who averaged 5.2 points in the playoffs could score 18 points in this game?

In contrast to the Heat, James is still outstanding with 32 points, but his shooting rate has fallen below 45%. Wade scored 22 points, but only 32.6% from the field. The omnipotent James and Wade in the first two games, in front of Henson's new defensive strategy and the crazy Pacers players, can no longer perform magical performances, let alone the miracle of 41 points in a single game. Up.

After Leonard hit a three-pointer, the point difference became 13 points. But Spoelstra still did not give up, he wanted to win the game.

Win this game, the total score of the series will become 3 to 0! After winning this game, the Indiana Pacers will almost say goodbye to the playoffs! Win this game... Win this game, Spoelstra won't have to face the mysterious Henson Joe!

Unfortunately, the fact slapped Spoelstra very loudly. Want to easily get past the walkers? There are no doors.

The electronic buzzer sounded and the backboard glowed red. The Miami fans, who were full of expectations, lowered their heads one by one, and even forgot to boo.

115 to 103, the Miami Heat, which was invincible in the first two games, allowed the Pacers to lose two home games. Today, they defeated the Pacers in their own home court!

"It's over. The Big Three persisted to the end, but in the end they couldn't get the score back. With a 12-point difference, Coach Henson Joe led the brave Pacers to a counterattack! They tenaciously pulled the total score of the series. It became 1 to 2! Audience friends, the Eastern Conference finals have become suspense again!"

Mike Brin stood up, clenched his fists and yelled, while James and Wade walked into the player tunnel in despair, without any media interviews.

James was in a very low mood, even if he scored 32 points, it made him unhappy. Recalling the whole game, James had a lot of 32 points flashed in his mind, but the expressionless face of the No. 2 forward and the attacks that he destroyed!

In the first two games, Leonard did not impress James. But today, he seems to have changed himself, as if the American Airlines Center is his home field!

Being so embarrassed by a first-year rookie also allowed him to score a career high in the playoffs in one fell swoop.

"Fuck!" Thinking of this almost humiliating game, James suddenly yelled as he walked, making Wade shiver next to him.

At this time, LeBron clenched his fists and decided to kill the difficult Pacers with a two-game winning streak!

In his opinion, the outbreak of Leonard and Stephenson was only accidental and could not be replicated. Every year in the playoffs, there will be one or two short-lived players, but their outstanding performance is often unsustainable.

But this time, James was wrong...At least in the Eastern Conference Finals, Leonard's magical performance is really sustainable...

"Tough defense, tenacity, biting with opponents, and surviving struggles. Today, the Indiana Pacers showed us a pure Eastern team! Everyone thought they were finished, but they used the most incredible Way, won an unexpected victory!"

Although the Heat players have retired, only half of the fans in the American Airlines Center have not left. But on the commentary stage, Mike Brin seemed to have not recovered from the shock.

With the exception of eSPN reporters approaching Henson for a sideline interview, no media came close to Henson. Because most of the people at the scene today were local media in Miami, the local media in Miami kept attacking Henson before the game. Now that Henson has won, you go up and interview him again, don't you ask yourself boring?

No one dared to hit the gun.

Not dare to provoke Henson, most reporters leaned towards Leonard. There is no doubt that Leonard is the key to winning the Pacers today. It stands to reason that the news value of him should be very high. But when this taciturn guy faces the camera, he always makes the reporters unable to lift the energy.

"How did you contain LeBron today!?"

"I just did what Coach Henson assigned."

"Today scored a career-high 18 points in the playoffs. How do you keep your hand feeling?"

"I just did it as Coach Henson arranged."

"Today you hit three-pointers several times today, how did you..."

"I just did what Coach Henson assigned."

No matter what questions the reporters ask, the expressionless young forward will always have only one answer. When it was even more speechless, Leonard seemed to think his answer was quite good.

After all, he has "beautified" Henson's words. I can’t say to so many reporters and cameras: "Fuck Paul, **** George, **** David"...

"This is a great victory, Henson!" Vogel hadn't calmed down until he walked into the player tunnel. Before the game, Vogel was also worried that the huge pressure would crush Henson, but from the perspective of now, he was completely worried.

When have you seen Henson feel depressed because of excessive stress? Vogel believes that even if the total score is now 3-0, Henson is still interested in talking to the media.

"Indeed, it was a great victory. But we haven't achieved a real victory yet. Our goal is the finals, Frank."

"Finals? I thought you just... wait, you didn't say that at the beginning of this season. You said that you just want the team not to be eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals."

"Well... Frank, a man's desire is a bottomless pit." Henson smiled. At first, Henson's goal may not be the finals. But now that he is hitting this point, should he take the initiative to surrender?

"Then if you really reach the finals, are you going to play the O'Brien Cup again?"

"It's hard to say, Frank. Maybe it will, who knows?"

Vogel got goosebumps, and now it's not just Spoelstra that is nervous because of Henson, even Vogel is nervous!

Championship, does this guy know what a championship is? No... Henson knows, and he knows it very well!

But what this guy likes most is not over fulfilling the task?

Vogel stopped and looked at Henson's back. Henson must have planned it. He always has a plan. But Vogel must admit that he has never participated in such a crazy plan.
